After months of sorting through the issues and the better part of a year agonizing over the candidates relative strengths and weaknesses, I was no closer to choosing a Democratic standard-bearer. Questions haunted my 3 ayems as I hung on each new poll result and awaited the latest round of vitriol. The lady or the tiger. Hillary or Obama? The spin meisters left me dizzy. Charts, graphs, position papers, oh my! I longed for a summation of the spirit, a sign a metaphor that would part the clouds of rhetoric and reveal the sun of simplicity; the symbol and summation of the whole magillah. It arrived at 2:13 pm Eastern Standard Time.
Hillary Clinton is endorsed by Elton John, while Obama today got the eloquent endorsement of Bruce Springsteen.
Both titans of rock, but one a sequined wearing British knight, the other a voice of blue collar America.
Obama '08.
