There are sites like lubbock online and the galleries at moore that give us a little fun to customize candidates, but with the national elections being almost 20 months away (there are several elections between now and November 2008) I’d like to figure out a way to build my own candidate.
Back in the day (you know, like in 2004), elections were like In ‘N Out. There are a couple things on the menu, and you just pick the combo you want. But with nearly 25 candidates (just counting the two major parties) who have either expressed serious intent to run or are actually running, this is more like a Del Taco menu. Among the 25 who are running, you gotta figure that there are little pieces of each that are attractive, but no one candidate probably has all the values that are close to my heart.
We can take the wisdom of McCain (I think he’s the oldest one running), with the financial backing of Clinton, maybe some of the convictions of Kucinich (my anti-war piece). A little bit of Obama (when it comes to inspiration, he’s got it) and mix that with Brownback (both Catholic and Evangelical). I’ll call it, Combo #17.
Wouldn’t that be something?
But then I realized something… If Combo #17 is anything like a Del Taco combo, I’ll probably get the Montezuma’s Del Taco’s Too-Many-Choices-Too-Early Revenge.
