the ugg top comes to a stop

AMY SEWELL NEW YORK THE OTHER MORNING my mother-in-law, who is a staunch Democrat, announced when Sen. Barack Obama may be the nominee, she'll cross over and vote for Sen. John McCain. She is concerned about Senator Obama?ˉs lack of clarity on foreign policy. In her own mid-70s, she has only voted for that Republican candidate once before, when she decided not to vote for Jimmy Carter (and she or he managed to get a point to UGG Vogue Boots inform me she still thinks she was right ?°about that one?±). A week ago, my mother, who's a staunch Republican, announced that if Senator Clinton is the nominee, she is going to go over and prefer her. My mother says she would like to see a lady president in her lifetime (she's also in her own mid-70s) and she doesn?ˉt mind that Senator Clinton is really a Democrat as she is not an extreme liberal. A bleeding-heart-liberal friend is upset that Sen. Ted Kennedy and also the Move-On organization have attached themselves to Senator Obama since it is will make him ?°appear too liberal?± and that he won?ˉt stand a chance of beating McCain. ?°America likes staying in the center,?± he admits that. And then there is the ?°Obamacans,?± highlighted in Newsweek (Feb. 11). The poster gal of the Republican stampede towards the Democratic side is Ike?ˉs granddaughter Susan Eisenhower. Shall Time passes on? Because I can. The current state of the presidential election jogs my memory of several childhood games in which you need to guess to win. Who?ˉs got the button? Who?ˉs on first? Round and round it is going, where it stops, nobody knows. Inverted. Right side up. Topsy-turvy. The pea?ˉs under that shell! I thought we?ˉd hit a higher point in the field of culture and entertainment when multi-racial Tiger Woods broke to get to be the pre-eminent golfer on the planet and the skinny white kid from Detroit calling himself Eminem, the pre-eminent rapper, tossing any stereotypes those professions been on the garbage. The political arena is taking its turn providing the public with a rousing spectacle of continuous entertainment. Everyone?ˉs hanging around. What's surprising to me is the fact that I am sticking with one party because anybody who knows me knows I?ˉm a rabble-rouser at heart. But heck, it?ˉs open pink uggs boots, fair game, anything goes and why not? This year I?ˉve been called a part of ?°the Establishment?± for my support of Sen. Hillary Clinton. Just because I don?ˉt wear UGG boots doesn?ˉt mean I?ˉm not hip or cool, however i guess now that I?ˉm during my mid-40s, maybe I?ˉm not. And Senator Obama is the UGG boot in politics making all of those other candidates seem like either galoshes or last decade?ˉs Timberland boots. I hear that Senator McCain is considering a lady running mate. The name being tossed around on the streets is Governor Palin of Alaska. I?ˉm still reading about Ny Mayor Michael Bloomberg coming in being an independent. What else may come up? Last Saturday, when Senator Obama captured Washington, Nebraska and Kansas, I heard Pat Robertson on CNN try to stir some misconception. When interpreting a poll that states that the high percentage of those that are voting for Senator Clinton would be ?°dissatisfied?± if Senator Obama got the nomination, Robertson said that the results were racially motivated because most of Senator Clinton?ˉs constituents are white women. (Huh?) The media are grasping to fill air time by trying to make news. While we ought to be looking at them as objective causes of news information, they?ˉve morphed into game-show hosts. This seems fitting, given the circumstances. All of this topsy-turvy has forced me to invent a brand new game. The overall game is called ?°switching shoes.?± I love to attempt to determine if Senator Obama were white, would so many young adults be cheering and carrying on as if he were a rock star? Would white men be flocking to his field? Would ladies be as enamored? If Senator Clinton were a black woman, would she then get the youth vote? Let's say she spoke as eloquently as Senator Obama? (Oh, yeah, we saw that when using pink uggs sale New-York-congresswoman and first-major-party-African-American who ran for president in 1972, Shirley Chisholm. It didn?ˉt work.) If Senator McCain were a white woman, would he get Democratic women crossing over? There is no doubt we're in a tipping reason for American history, and that i guess we?ˉll just keep tipping until the spinning top comes to a stop and that we see where all of us end up. Rock, paper, scissors says shoot! Amy Sewell is really a writer and filmmaker.
