THE OBAMA HOOK-UP SCENE

My husband and I had a roaring good laugh at this article on Drudge: Singles will check out eligible candidates at Obama rally. It's not really that funny -- if I were single, I too would rather meet someone at a political rally than a bar -- but some of the quotes were just hilarious.

Even the invite for the event reads like a singles bash:

"Hope hits the Big Apple! Join us at Jay-Z's 4-0/40 Club on Thursday as we ride the winds of change from the hottest rally in New York. Move to the music, socialize with friends, and let your voice be heard as we celebrate with audacity."

Lindsay Schaeffer, 25, may even skip the rally for the nighttime bash.

That cracks me up. Why would someone waste time on the silly politics when she can just skip ahead for the hook-up scene? I want to date an Obama supporter, without all that pesky Obama stuff killing my buzz.

One ardent Obama supporter (who declined to give his name because he works in politics) says he'll attend both the rally and the after-party, and he doesn't expect to be going home alone.

He's confident for a reason.

"Let's face it: Leftie girls are easy," he says.

Bwahahaha. Nice.

Not so sure about the lefty-girls-are-easy thing. A lot of lefty women seem pretty hung up about sex and pretty hostile to men. I wonder if they can relax enough to make the sex a satisfying experience for either partner.

Also, lefties in general are very status-conscious. An average lefty chick will evaluate you on your income and school pedigree at least as much as on your political opinions. She wants someone she can brag to her girlfriends about, and having the right political opinions is just part of that story.

It's good to know that when you're wondering what the policies of a presidential candidate might be, that you'll be able to rest a little more easily once you hit up the after-party. The left sure is wasting a lot of money with this Obama thing. He's not qualified enough to make it to the end.
