Obama! Clinton! Obama! Clinton! Wait, are there republicans in this election too? Oh yeah . . . McCain!
It is funny to joke about but it is definitely one of those “sad but true” statements. With the competition between Clinton and Obama heating up, media coverage for the republican candidates has dwindled to almost nothing. Reading the headlines on the fox news web page, out of the 6 headlines under their political section, only one headline is on a republican candidate. To no ones great surprise, that candidate is John McCain. Moving over to CNN's website, and their biggest story on the republican party is Mike Huckabee's refusal to withdraw from the primary elections.
Granted with McCain carrying 49% of the delegate votes right now, there is really not much left to report on. Even our own blog site is loaded with information about Obama and Clinton. It would seem that our class has a general liberal bias.
I think the irony of it all is that a lot of the issues that most people consider to be strictly split between democrats and republicans, aren't. Obama, Clinton, and McCain all oppose same sex “marriage.” All three believe it is the state's right to choose for itself and that “civil-unions” are OK, alloying homosexual couples to enjoy the same legal benefits. Also, we can look at Immigration reform. Most democrats like to look and laugh at the idea of the Republican's spending billions of dollars on a 700 mile fence. What is funny about that is both Obama and Clinton voted in favor of it.
I just thought it would be important to throw some issues up here on the board. And let anyone who reads this blog know that not all college level adults are complete Democrats. Just most of them. Don't mind the T-shirt, just an attention getter.
