This is a blog about life, politics, and anything else I feel like writing about. It's named "The Snod" because that's a nickname someone gave me in school based on my last name.
A crowd of approximately 75,000 people came to see Obama in Portland, Oregon, while he's still not even (officially) the Democratic nominee. Imagine how many people will be at his inauguration if he is elected president.

I wish Colbert would've stayed in the race. Nobody cared that he wouldn't realistically win. What people cared about was that he made the race more interesting and entertaining. Even if he did somehow win, Stephen Colbert could step out of character and probably be a decent president. He may not be the best president ever, but he wouldn't be the worst. He's not an idiot.

I'm going to laugh if the Democratic Party and/or the Republican Party shoots themselves in the foot by nominating someone who probably won't win the presidential election. Some candidates are more likely to win the presidential election than others, no matter who the parties want to be president. For example, the Democratic Party might nominate Hillary Clinton because most members of the party might want her to become president. But Barack Obama might be more likely to win the presidential election than Hillary Clinton. In that case he would be a better choice. My point is that winning the election is more important than winning with whoever you want to become president. Someone in your party serving as president is better than no one in your party serving as president.

It seems like Obama is going to run for president in 2008. If he indeed does, it should make things more interesting. Competition is good for consumers... but maybe that's only in economics, not politics :P

Hillary's best shot at becoming president will probably be in 2008. If she isn't elected president in 2008, she will face an incumbent in 2012. Technically, she could defeat an incumbent, but I believe it will be easier to win in 2008 than defeat an incumbent in 2012. Actually, it will be easier for anyone to win in 2008 than 2012 except for whoever is elected in 2008, who might find it easier to win in 2012 as an incumbent.

I write, and this is my blog. I write about whatever I want whenever I want. Besides this blog I am writing stories that will hopefully be made into books and possibly films. Comments are welcome!
