Thoughts on GE Strategy

Fri May 23, 2008 at 01:52:13 PM PDT

 Well I have been obsessing over how everything will play out ending this primary as well as in November, and I thought I would post a diary on how everything will roll.  I figure the potential strategies that Obama, McCain, and Hillary will use are the most important.  I would like to look at strategies for the national parties and some 527's but thats for a later diary.

God I feel Low

I am sitting in a crappy barracks room, listening to the bass from someone elses music down the hall.  I work 12 hours a day pushing paper, and I do it in the Army, which just adds to the amount of BS I deal with.  My room is about 6 foot by 15 ish, and I dont hang anything on the walls, just cause if I have to move, I dont want to deal with taking everything down.

My job is also very stressful.  I cant get anything wrong, bad things will happen to me and to others if I do.  There is lots of scrutiny, and quality checking.

Sometimes the stress and strain get me in a depressed mood and I think about everything that is wrong in my life and in this world.

Get a Helmet

I've been trying to put into words the feelings I have when I read canidate diaries on MyDD and Dailykos.  Honestly, I feel we have lost something.  We have lost sight of the goal.  I vasilate between anger and rage, directing these emotions at people who don't agree with how I want to do things, and sheer despair, feeling that all the wrongs of the past seven years will continue because we can't get our act together.  We can't see the goal.

I can see the goal. I live on Schofield Barracks, on the island of Oahu. I am in the Army and will be for several more years.  I have not deployed, but several of my friends are in the sandbox right now.  Many others are in Afghanistan as well.  I have known people who gave their lives for us and I have seen folks who have come back injured, being given whatever medical treatment they need in Trippler Army Medical Center.  It breaks my damn heart, but thats what soldiers do.  Soldier's die, there ain't no way around it.  Its up to you to determine if dying is needed or not. More after the fold.
