Okay, I'm not American and I'm following the campaigns only peripherally.

But one of the blogs I read linked to this: The GOP Primary Field in Buffy Villains.

And OMG! So True!

I urge you all to read it if you're American and/or just a Whedonverse!fan of the Buffy persuasion.

i'm not a Buffy watcher but i am following the elections closely. thanks for the link. i am honestly very nervous about the '08 election. i am nervous about who the GOP will elect and which Democrat will run against them.

I think Huckabee is easily electable for the GOP's but also easily beatable by the Democrats. I think Hillary has a good chance of slaughtering him if they were to go head to head. Huckabee creeps me out and i would NEVER want him to lead this country.... but because he's beatable i wouldnt mind him getting the nomination.

i think Mitt Romney is also a viable candidate but might be harder to defeat. i wouldnt want him to be president either but would be more nervous to see him in the final round.

i think John McCain would be a hard candidate to beat but less likely to get the GOP nomination. i honestly wouldnt mind seeing him as president. i think his whole "bomb iran" crap is disgusting but i think he is the most transparent out of the GOP contenders and would be more willing to trust him with our foreign policy. i think he is knowledgable about what to do with the military and i am not for a swift pullout of troops from Iraq... not because i believe in what we are doing over there, but for the safety of Iraqi civilians... and i think a swift pullout might hurt than more than us staying there.

i love that the democrats have a black and female candidate. i think that speaks volumes about the party, im just afraid of the republicans coming out in droves to stop either one of them from winning. and although i like John Edwards domestic policy, i dont have confidence in him regarding our foreign affairs.

hope that didnt bore you :) i cant wait for the Iowa results!!!! yeeee!!!! this is like my version of the Super Bowl... i wish i could see into the future!

I'm surprised so little's being publically made out of Obama's race and Hilary's gender but am sure it's being talked about a lot in private and still don't believe the country will elect a black man or woman though I hope to be proven wrong. Bush looked pretty vulnerable in 2004 and yet he still won, so I am afraid we'll lose it again in 2008.

haha.. bush winning is debatable ;)
there were rumblings about race and gender in the beginning but i am hoping that the media wasnt giving americans enough credit for moving into the modern century. it would be a shame that our "progressive" society, a "leader" of democracy throughout the world couldnt deal with a *gasp* black or *gasp* female leader. i mean, estonia and germany have female leaders, what's wrong with us?

i think both would be great for different reasons... Obama would show the world that Americans arent racist, plus, he would be a great face for foreign diplomacy and Clinton has the political backing/muscle to get things done, plus, i do believe in her experience and the experience of those around her (not just her hubby). i like her calculating tendencies and that she isn't so quick to pull out of Iraq... i think there is a happy medium to come of our military presence there.

It's sad that when I read your comment I thought about how "The West Wing' was one of the best shows ever.
After Buffy, obviously.
Though that page was a strange blend of the two for me :)

McCain is a homeboy. He's also a POW... I wouldn't complain if he got it.

Huckabee as Caleb was pretty amusing.

seems like he was raised by some zionists and is pretty pissed off about it :)

Ha! I was raised by Zionists and I turned out okay :)

As if Zionists can be clumped together as "Racist Ashkenazi Colonialists".
It really is much more complicated than that, I hate this whole Zionist conspiracy bullshit and the fact that the mere existance of Israel is Evil.
I'm sick of that!

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
