The Characters of the 2008 Election
Who wrote the 2008 election? Yes, who wrote it? Somebody had to write it. Somebody is playing with our minds. We are living in a dreamland. This election defies the laws of the universe. It is simply not possible for an election to get this strange. Just look at the cast of characters involved. Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton. John McCain. Barack Obama. Sarah Palin. These people can't be real. Someone had to put this together. The first African-American who has a real chance to be President and the first women who has the first real chance to be Vice President. Two of the most polarizing women in recent history. A former president who...well, is entertaining. The most unpopular president and most unpopular war in decades, yet his candidate very well could win the election. Google/Youtube Debates. Faith Forums. The longest campaign ever. An affair. A recent VP candidate switches teams. The Fair Tax. If you need any more evidence, well, we're now arguing over pigs wearing lip stick and paternity claims. Sad too. They distract us from finding out who is playing this evil trick on us. I'm wondering how many chapters this book has. Every election is getting stranger. This is the author's best novel yet. I bet the next will be a best seller!

Of course, some would have probably identified previous elections as pretty crazy—like the elections of 1860, 1912, 1948, and 1960. But this is definitely the craziest in years, especially because most talk has nothing to do with the issues, and everything to do with taglines, phrases, gestures, sex appeal, and so forth.
