Well, news that Mitt Romney dropped out of the white house race wasn’t surprising. He did piss poor terrible considering how much money he had. But, stepping down now and supporting John McCain (the republican front runner) was a commendable move. Rudy Giuliani had done the same, and I expect Mike Huckabee to also, since he has no real shot.

I believe that Ron Paul should stay in the race whether as a Republican, or a 3rd party (Libertarian), because now that there are fewer candidates, the “message” will continue to be broadcast, but even louder and clearer, should he stay in the Republican race.

If the Republicans are down to one candidate already, then this is certainly good news, because I’m not so sure that an Obama supporter would vote for Hillary, and vice versa. The democratic party is fairly divided as far as support goes, and Hillary could quite possibly be receiving the support of conservative, but independent women, just because she is female. Now if this were down to just Obama and McCain, would they vote for Obama? I think not…

She’s saying anything it takes now. It’s getting ridiculous. Her voting history is identical to Obama’s and every other democrat out there. So what if she were a man? (And I’m not saying that she isn’t.) She would have NO supporters. She is winning the votes of a large majority of uneducated women out there, almost by default. She is in no way more qualified than Barack Hussein Obama. In fact, I don’t think any particular candidate (democrat or republic) is more qualified than the next. None of them have presidential experience. So it’s all about who has the best ideas, stances, and actual LEADERSHIP skills that the LEADER of the world’s most power country should have. I honestly don’t think any of the current front runners can do a better job than George Bush. For one, they all voted for the war and would be in the same shit hole of a situation.

Here is a picture of Hitlery Clinton. Get off whatever drugs you are taking and don’t punch her name on the ballot.

The New York Times has an article reporting that Google Maps has gained a bit of market share. They are now reaching…1/10 the audience of mapquest.

But why? Clearly Google’s interface is more intuitive, easier to use, and it just works better. Plus, I don’t even remember the last time I went to mapquest.

The thing is, Mapquest came out so much earlier that their name is now associated with online maps. When I’m on the phone with someone looking for directions, I always say; “give me your address and I’ll just Mapquest it.” And each time I say this, I know in my head that I am not going to use Mapquest. I know that I’m going to open up Firefox and type in maps.google.com

Brand association is really hard to build. It takes a lot of time, money, and great brains. One great example I have for this is that in Psychology class last year, my teacher said to a student “…just go to the nurse’s office and get a bandaid.” And then he did a double take. “What is the proper term for a bandaid anyways? An adhesive strip?” I silently chuckled and said out loud, “bandage!”
