am I ready to declare...

"Bill I know you are the man, but, stop starin' at my girl "

Back in 2000, I actually spent a small amount of time caring about the race for president, notably the democratic primary. Why, because, none other then Bill Bradley, was running and almost beating Al Gore in the race for the democratic nomination. Bradley, as Clyde knows, was part of two championship basketball teams, KNICKS, championship basketball teams. Not only that he was brilliant, a rhodes scholar, princeton grad, senator from NJ for about 20 years and oh yea a member of the NBA Hall of Fame.

Seriously though, I liked this guy, and it was after Gore beat him, and it was Gore Vs Bush, that I had no other choice but then to vote for crazzzzzy Ralph Nader. I was tired of politics as usual, and how terribly lame Gore and Bush were (and yes, Gore was lame, don't pretend now because he's all Mr. Green Nobel Prize that he wasn't a talking robot stiff in 2000 ). I have pretty much felt the same since...only getting into the 04 election because I had to support anyone but Bush (aka John Kerry).

So why do I bring up Bill Bradley, because, if there is a politician I trust in this world, and there are so few, he is one of them. Hell, I read his biography at some point, and enjoyed it. Topping that, I at one point went to a meeting of Democrats for Bradley...the mere fact that I almost got involved in a political campaign, says a lot...(mostly that I am lazy and unpassionate)..it says, that I was ready to almost spend my time helping out...maybe.

On Sunday, Bill Bradley, gave his support to Senator Barack Obama, and that brings me closer to thinking that Mr. Obama, just might be the real deal. Yes, I have heard all the hype, read the articles, and watched way too much cable news, I know whats going on with Obama and I am far from the first on his bandwagon. However, its like a trustworthy friend confirming what you expected...thanks Bill Bradley.
