A Temporary Lull

Apologies for the temporary stoppage of posts. I had to tend to some business.
And by "tend" I mean enjoy.
And by "business" I mean my spring break.


In recent news, our Scorpions have managed to pick up their record. They are now 11-21, with the last two victories earned by slaugthering (20-1, 10-0) Massachusetts's Fisher College. The team that played today was a team with better chemistry, better offense and defense, better everything overall. Congratulations Scorpions, now keep it up.

On to other news,

I had avoided touching this subject because, well, it still is somewhat upsetting. Sen. Clinton took the Texas popular vote and Sen. Obama took the most delegates. The reason I'm angry about it is because there's about 30,000 Democrats in Cameron County who voted for Hillary Clinton.
Problem with that is, I am willing to bet that of those 30k people, 20,000 voted without thinking. These people voted for Clinton because of the following reasons:

• Barack Obama is black.
• Barack Obama has Muslim heritage.
• Hillary Clinton married Bill Clinton.
• Hillary Clinton's last name is Clinton.
• Barack Obama is black.
• It was much more comforting voting for a mainstream, white candidate than voting for a black candidate.
• There was a belief that Hillary Clinton had done something for the valley.
• Hillary Clinton is a woman.
• She has "experience"
  

This was seriously why a good majority of the people voted for her. It seemed that it was better to have a white patrona than a black man running the show. Let's face it. A lot of people won't come right out and say it, but they know who they are, and they know why they voted for Clinton.
I fail to see why she identifies with hispanics. I fail to see why Congressman Ortiz ate up her nonsense and campaigned for her.
I also disagree with County Democratic Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa's actions by campaigning for Hillary. Mr. Hinojosa, BE OBJECTIVE!

On the brightside of things, the voter turnout was amazing. 44,000 votes for democrats in Cameron County compared to 1,500 overall votes for John McCain.
The downside to this brightside, is that, unless Hillary gets her act together in the next weeks, McCain's going to win.
Obama already said he wasn't going to run as vice president (a smart move, considering that it would kill his future hopes), and he wasn't going to pick her as a vice president (Also a smart move, considering that if he did, he might as well hire the sniper himself).

Either way, I'm saddened at the increaingly dimmer prospects for the democratic ticket in this election. A McCain/Lieberman ticket could seriously harm an Obama/???? ticket that is still bleeding from Hillary's attacks.

Whatever it is, there's still a lot of good fight left in everyone.
Hopefully the 44,000 Cameron County voters that turned out, come back again for the congressional races.
