In the Race

Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in the Red Queen's Race...

It's New! Barackbook!

Barackbook.com is a mock-up of a Facebook profile with a picture of a frowning Obama in the corner of the page looking like an angry schoolboy. His status is set to: "Barack is hoping to settle on an Iraq policy before November."

The Fake Obama's FriendFeed is peopled by a string of colorful figures that the RNC has already trotted out to present the candidate as a man with questionable connections. They include Marilyn Katz, William Ayers and Antoin "Tony" Rezko. Each "friend" is linked to their own mock-Facebook profile with newspaper headlines and video excerpts documenting their checkered pasts.

~~~~~~~~~~

I'm sure Barack Obama is thinking, with friends like these, who needs enemies when he looks at his friends on his pages. 

This sure is a popular place for a candidate like Obama.  But it continues to make me think...will all of these wide-eyed wonders go out and vote in November?  If the ballot was on Facebook...No problem.  But they've got to go to a polling place and stand in line to make their "change."

Speaking of Obama attack ads, I found this on Youtube: John McCain compares Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.  I think it's legit, but I understand why his campaign thinks its a good idea to take that angle so literally

So, Alisha....are you a Conservative or a Liberal?  McCain or Obama?

It's complicated, I grew up in house where my mom was a dem and my dad was a republican, my best friend is an evangelist and some of the best people I've gotten to know have been atheists.  Both candidates have platforms I agree with, so I probably won't stick with a single candidate up until the election.  Along with print journalism, I'm also doing media studies in college right now and  I'm really into critically analyzing the representation of the candidates in the media. As a person, I admire Obama but I HATE the way the media treats him like a rock star.  Rock star does not equal presidential material.

Hmmm...A Generation Y'er with Generation X'er attributes.  

"My mom...my dad, my best friend, some of the best people I've gotten to know,"  that's them...what about what you believe?

I know, I'm giving you a hard time and putting you on the spot...but most of the blogger's positions are known.

Also, you believe the media is treating Obama like a Rock Star?  What about the throngs of followers?  The media is just reporting on those who follow...those who "admire Obama" as you do for whatever reason that may be.
