Super Tuesday

I am a dork, you will get no argument from me. And this is going to be a political blog for a bit...skip to the bottom if you want a quick update on our next HSM2 production in the works.

On Tuesday night after Jodi had gotten home from teaching and we got the kids to bed I layed on the couch and watched CNN results about Super Tuesday. Got to see both McCain and Obama give there stump speeches.

A couple of thoughts on how things played out. For some reason I am really into this primary race on the Dem side. I think, trying to put personnal feelings aside, to me there seems to be such a difference between the tone of Obama vs. Clinton. When I hear Clinton talk I hear political machine...actually I got that feeling from McCain too, but that is a topic for another day.

When you listen to Obama there is something about him. Can't pinpoint it. Maybe it is his delivery, maybe he just seems like a fresh face, or maybe like on Super Tuesday it is seeing how he affects others. All through his speach I couldn't stop looking at these three ladies on the stage behind him. All three just seemed mesmerized...it was almost comical.

My parents can talk about JFK and how he was such a galvanizing force...someone that just seemed inspring even if you didn't agree with him. I don't think Obama is JFK, but I think he is the closet to that model that I have ever seen in my lifetime. I mean most of the people running for pres have either been career politcians, backwoods out of touch govenors (includes both current and former pres), or kookie billionaires.

Thankfully the people haven't yet coronated Clinton, and they get to keep campaigning. Obama is expected to pick up some more states, but then this morning on NPR I heard that Texas is a Clinton firewall...and I threw up in my mouth.

On the HSM2 front. In preproduction: Jack has been working on his moves to "What Time is it" He is chad...the guy with the crazy hair. Need to try and get that on tape and up. He can sing along pretty good too.

Also, Molly and I have been working on "Gotta Go My Own Way". The part where Troy sings with Gabrielle. Molly knows all the words...we ran through it last night. Didn't have a camera man in the house. I think it had to do with some kind of writer's strike. If we can pull it off it should be another instant classic.

The more encouragement from the fans...the more effort I will put into getting it on tape.
