Oguama!

Oh, little bloggy, how long it has been since last I posted with you! I am so sorry for my absence. In my defense (or does this make me sound unfaithful?), I have been posting elsewhere.
But, ah, what good news brings me to write with you! Another win for Barack Obama! Yes, indeed, Guam has stood up for hope and against politicks as usual. Perhaps it is no surprise that Obama won in Guam, since it is a territory that elects by caucus instead of by vote - that is, it is a state where people come together and talk about the candidates instead of slinking into a little booth where they can vote as racistly and sexistly as they want without prying eyes to see them (as in my state).
I am eager to see how the Clinton campaign tries to spin this loss. Will she completely ignore the loss or will she dismiss the people of Guam as provincial bumpkins whose voice here shouldn’t count at all just because they don’t get to vote in the presidential election? Can’t wait to find out!

Ron Paul said Obama would win… whatever that’s worth.
I see Puerto Rico and Guam actually being in the news as part of the presidential race as positive. Puerto Rico especially is helped by 6 o’clock news segments reminding Americans that yes, it does have colonies still.
I don’t post much on my blog either. I like commenting on other peoples blogs more.

Wasn’t it like…7 votes or something.
Not a HUGE win. Let’s see what happens tomorrow. **sigh** I’m so ready for this to be over. On to the national election Obama vs. McSame.

Yes, Ryan, yes. Not many votes! But if a 2% spread in Indiana is a win, then I’ll take 7 votes in Guam as a win, too!

Indeed!
