I made a drunken proclamation earlier last year that Hilary *would* be the Democratic nominee. As if that wasn’t stupid enough, I staked my “life” to it, saying that I would give up blogging under the fuBarrio psuedonym if it didn’t come to pass.

Ironically, I also predicted that John McCain would be the Rep Nominee to a different friend.

How the worm has turned. McCain came out of nowhere to take control and Hilary is reeling.

Now, in my defense I wasn’t following the race as an expat and had never heard Obama speak. I was betting my bet on the Clintons being coniving and a little bit crazy perhaps.

After Hilary *won* New Hampshire (her first comeback so far) I heard Barack speak for the first time….in a concession speech.

I had a feeling that my dog liver was cooked at that point. He *sounded presidential* to me….even in defeat.

A mix of MLK and a Kennedy almost.

Now, that said, my slim hopes of keeping this website alive as anything other than an empty shell of commercialism and a dead link farm lie in the sinister minds of the Clinton camp. Surely, they can drag out some photoshopped images of Obama sharing a cigar with BinLaden in a Pakastani strip club or something (?)

I know it’s just talk — and there isn’t much a politico can do but make more trouble — but the irony is this barack guy is the best chance for the US keeping up its spirits when things suck over the next few years.

I truly do hope he wins the demo ticket, for the sake of the US.

For the sake of fubarrio, i hope those scheming clintons have kept one hail mary up their sleeve for the final push.

ciao,
