Democratic Indecision
[Guest post by DRJ]
50 Cent represents the state of indecision the Democratic Party finds itself in right now:
“MC, who originally supported Clinton, switched to Obama after race speech — but now he’s not sure.”
First he was for Hillary because he thought she would do a good job and he wasn’t sure if America was ready for a black President because “they might kill him.” Then, after Obama’s race speech, “I swear to God, I’m like, ‘Yo, Obama!’ … “I’m Obama to the end now, baby!”
Now? Just don’t ask:
“However, he said he’s now not certain which side he’s on. “To be honest, I haven’t been following that anymore. I lost my interest,” he said. “I listened to some of the debate and things that they were saying, and I just got lost in everything that was going on. … Don’t look for my vote, for me to determine nothing on that. Just say, ‘50 Cent, he don’t know, so don’t ask Fiddy.’”
It is hard to stay at such an emotionally high level. The next five months are going to be hard for Democrats.

I think it was Dee Schnider who said that taking your political cue from a rockstar was the dumbest thing you could ever do…

Last report, Fiddy was for GWB and against Oprah.

If they’ve lost Fiddy, they’ve lost America.

If they get burnt out by November, their big turnout advantage will disappear.

I think it’s time to institute an IQ test for voters. You must at least score above 70. Fiddy’s ’bout Fiddy.

Semi-literate steroid-ingesting rappers for Hillary (Obama)? Sounds like the makings of a great 527 group.

One wonders if he ever voted in his life.
In fact, isn’t he a felon? Can he even vote?

His opinion isn’t worth 2 cents, much less fiddy.

I bet at least one super delegate will switch to McCain by August. I almost feel sorry for people trying to choice between these 2 such…interesting…people.

“So don’t ask Fiddy.”
Now there is a campaign slogan for 2008! I’m just not sure which campaign is going to adopt it first.

What is a fiddy?

Sounds like 50 percent of the voters like Hillary and that 50 percent is not voting for Obama.
Sounds like a tie, the superdelegates will decided, and the chavanists that they are - will chose Obama. Women will now vote for McCain, fiddy or not to fiddy…whatever that means.

Thank you for sharing the wisdom of 50 cent with us DRJ. Now I’ll know who to campaign for.

Don’t look for my vote, for me to determine nothing on that. Just say, ‘50 Cent, he don’t know, so don’t ask Fiddy.’”
Thus confirming my strong suspicion.
You gotta believe in someone
Asking me who is right
Asking me who to follow
Don’t ask me, I don’t know
