If that means the 19th century, so be it. The alternatives aren't palatable.<BR/><BR/>I like to go for the best candidate, and the two Democrats do not inspire confidence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056790.post-64016586086985896742008-05-08T06:55:00.000+03:002008-05-08T06:55:00.000+03:00It seems as if Obama has the nomination all but in...It seems as if Obama has the nomination all but in the bag.

(Does his representing a grandfather rule him out for you?) I agree with you about Hilary as schoolmarm; she is gives out Cold Mother vibes.<BR/><BR/>It's really difficult to predict which one would be the best president, but I'm kind of rooting for Obama to win the nomination just because I think he vs. McCain would make the most SavtaDottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01101071675505516473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056790.post-56513736211995167752008-05-07T15:39:00.000+03:002008-05-07T15:39:00.000+03:00What a striking categorization...I never thought o...What a striking categorization...<BR/><BR/>I never thought of the race in this way. However, your archetypes fit perfectly.<BR/><BR/>However, I don't see John McCain as much a father as a grandfather. He is nearly 50 years older than me.<BR/><BR/>Hillary seems like a teacher, and not the kind of teacher one remembers kindly. She seems like a pedantic disciplinarian who cares more about rules Charles Malikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009178114562065398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056790.post-53050666326650840092008-05-06T11:42:00.000+03:002008-05-06T11:42:00.000+03:00Hi commenters!

For some reason, the blogspot comment notifications went straight to my gmail spam folder, so I'm a bit late to respond.<BR/><BR/>Jo, I like my metaphors because they raise the level of discourse to the archetypes, which is where I seem to be living these days.
