No, Melinda was totally the GOP contestant. Old-fashioned and safe. Stuck in the past. Blake is a Progressive, always looking forward and trying to make things better. Last night’s results were a referendum on the Bush administration and the old boys network as much as the ’06 elections were.
““Did we really expect a nation that voted GWB in TWICE to at least choose an American Idol wisely?””
That’s some sort of perfect storm of 2007 idiocy.
