Darshan on Candidates

Listed alphabetically:

Biden: River pilot. Reads the currents. He comes along for the long haul, nothing quick, slow and steady, always ahead of where the ship is - no real destination, just navigating the current current. Master of digression; loves the slow, easy whirlpools. Keeps things ship-shape and upright.

McCain. Monk. Hidden. Withdrawn. Underground. Roots traveling deeply and slowly underground. Concentrating on old sounds. Distracted by current happenings. Vibrating to stillness - ready to lurch and attack. Swatter. Stomper. Clencher. Mad.

Obama: Child of the school. Educated man. Friend of people. Strangely clear vision - sees around corners - lives outside the box but comes back inside for friendship. Smiles sweetly as he talks, but keeps thinking and looking at "places" that don't yet exist.

Palin: Killer. Quick. Thrives in confusion. Loves chaos, especially her homegrown versions. While others try to think and understand, she strikes. Creature of great power. power based on speed and quickness and insight during distress. Knowledge? Important only if it can lead to confusion. Alarm bell ringer. Screamer. Face biter.
