Obama Girl - Not Crushing Any More
I guess you all must have heard that Obama Girl did not actually make it to the polls to vote for BO. I'm not sure what to make of this. You hear a lot about BO and the youth vote. I wonder if they will actually make it to the polls in November. I think Obama Girl said she was busy the day of the primaries. Maybe she will be busy in November too. Hard to say really. What about all the other youngsters rallying around BO now? What will they be doing in November? Are they still going to be crushing on BO, or will their ardour have worn off by then? Doesn't really help me though. I'm not crushing on anybody, especially BO - ok, maybe my husband.

This does not surprise me one bit. It's hard to get inside her... mind? Is that the right word? Whatever it is that makes her decide whether to go to the mall, record amateur soft-p*rn or stay home and throw up. In the end, Obama Girl was just pulling a publicity stunt and now she's set to do mud wrestling or whatever like the chick from the GoDaddy commercial. Or maybe breathy video-game voice-overs.
Another person who famously "campaigned" yet didn't vote was Ben Affleck. And I believe several of the rappers involved in one of those "Rock-the-Vote" things also had trouble actually making it to the polls. Of course, perhaps they couldn't vote due to the felony convictions.
But seriously, I don't know what to make of self-disenfranchisement either. If I didn't make it to a general election, I'd feel like I had to go to confession. Voting is so easy -- I honestly can't think of why I wouldn't be able to vote, barring unfortunate events such as death or being kidnapped.
