Either that or Obama is going to shock the shit out of everyone today.

Canada is too far and too cold and I’m too old.

So I’m going to vote for that nice Obama man.

If, on the other hand, Hillary Clinton wins the nomination, I’ll be voting for her in November. To do otherwise, or to sit it out, is suicide.

My feelings exactly. Tho, Argentina is sounding nice.
