A DAY OF ANXIETY
Since this is my first post for 2008, let me just greet you HAPPY NEW YEAR! How was the celebration? (If you're curious, ours was marred by a slight loss of electricity or "low voltage")
Anyway, I guess you all know that today is the 3rd of January, year 2008. In the US, and in the whole world in general, it means one thing: THE BEGINNING OF THE PRIMARIES.
Right now, I feel very anxious about how the first primaries, the Iowa primaries, will turn out, especially in the Republican side. You all know that I'm currently backing Ron Paul, and that's where the anxiety I'm feeling right now begins. In the latest polls, he is at fifth place with only 7%. Sure, he did higher than Rudy Giuliani, but it's small compared to Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney.
But then again, opinion polls don't always predict accurately the winner of an elections. In 1996, Pat Buchanan shocked the world when he won the New Hampshire primaries, even though the opinion polls said that he had little chance of winning. So, it's still possible for Ron Paul to win.
So now, my anxiety is increasing. I know very well that the Iowa primaries is a very important event that can change a candidate's popularity. That is why until the results are shown, I will continue to hope and pray that Ron Paul wins the primaries.
I hope that when I wake up tomorrow from a sleep that will probably be still filled with anxiety, I will be greeted with the wonderful news that Ron Paul won the Iowa primaries (or at least land on 3rd place). If not, well we still have Wyoming, New Hampshire, and the rest of the states. I will continue to pray that a miracle will happen.
So, if you're a Republican voter in Iowa, vote for RON PAUL. If you're a Democrat, then go for BARACK OBAMA. (Yes, I have just withdrawn my support for Hillary Clinton.) Your vote not only will change the future of the USA, but also the future of the whole world, including my country, the Philippines.
That's all I can say. HAVE A NICE DAY.
