Spotlight: Morialekafa

You've all heard of psychobabble. I suggest a new term to describe what has been going on with this one year premature campaign for the Presidency - politibabble. How long has this thing been going on, and how much longer before we get some kind of closure. It's just babble, babble, babble. Will Hillary get the nomination? Is the country ready for a female President? Is Obama going to beat Hillary? Is he too black? Not black enough? Will people vote for a Mormon? Who is raising the most money? Is Thompson the great white hope? Is he just lazy? On and on and on. And the trouble is no one really has any idea of what is likely to happen when (and perhaps, if) the next election happens. I don't know about everyone else but I am sick of this election already and rapidly seem to be approaching the point where I don't give a damn who wins - let's just get it over with. It's not as if there is going to be any meaningful change anyway, both Republicans and Democrats seem determined to continue our occupation of Iraq until doomsday (or perhaps even longer)/Morialekafa.

DFO: Morialekafa describes himself as a retired UCLA professor of anthopology who lives in Bonners Ferry. Check him out here.

Question: Do you agree with Morialekafa's contention that he's ready for the presidential election to get over already b/c not much is going to change, no matter who wins?
