Krankor backs the winning horse
Some of you may recall my historic endorsement of Barack Obama back when Hillary Clinton was still threatening to release nerve gas in major population centres if she didn’t get the nomination*, so now it’s time to gloat.
For what it’s worth, I think Obama will beat John McCain in the fall. Unless, that is, the miniature demons who control McCain’s mummified husk learn how to coordinate amongst themselves so that he moves like a human again.
* As is my recollection of how things happened.
UPDATE: Witness the little demons working their little hearts out:

I don’t recall you predicting this. But then I have never stopped by here before. I also came in early with an Obama prediction. But that might not be good. I do not have the best track record when it comes to backing pols who actually win an election.
I really just wanted to swing by and say your comments on Ignatius’ blog always make me take notice. Well, most of the time anyway.
And also say thet Edmonton was always a great city for me to visit back in the days when I visited there infrequently. I hauled rock nroll shows for a few years in the 70s and many tours included the up and back pain in the ass trip to Edmonton. It always seemed to be winter and then you folks have this damn river with only a few bridges over it. Trying to find my way out of town in the early dawn hours on one trip I found myself facing a 12″ height limit on a bridge with a 13″ trailer. I had to back up for over 2 miles around corners before I could get turned around. The fine Canadian citizens up there forced to back up with me,were not amused. And neither were the cops when they finally showed up. But it was all good. I didn’t take out the bridge.

Edmonton hasn’t changed much; you’ve described it quite succinctly, in fact. Trucks still get trapped in that low-overhang at the High Level bridge, though they’ve finally removed the 19th-century tunnel (affectionately called the Rat Hole) that used to be the number one truck killer in town.
Thanks for stopping by, MRM!
