Obama Wins the Nomination and thoughts on Preppy Politics
As you most likely already know, Barack Obama won the nomination for the Democratic party when he passed the required number of delegates last night. So the question is now what does this mean for preppy people?
Well first of all, I believe that people should make their own choices based purely on policy on whom they should vote for. But in terms of preppiness I can’t say that either candidate qualifies. Barack’s blue collar attitude, and McCain’s focus on the war really don’t convey anythign preppy. Some claim Hillary dresses preppy, but I guess I’m just not a fan of those women’s suit dress things or what ever theyre called that she is always wearing. John McCain could be a little bit preppy but I think that its just because he’s so gosh darn old, and conservative. I feel that some other candidates like Guiliani or perhaps mayor Bloomberg if he had run (which was rumored at one point) would have been considerably more preppy than the candidates now, who are trying there hardest to relate to blue collar people, despite pulling in around a million dollars a year. As far as the preppiest candidate goes, I would definitly have to choose Mitt Romney who dropped out early. Romney would have in my opinion been the preppiest candidate, since he has a few houses in New England and always dresses stylishly in mostly preppy attire. Plus he was the governor of Massachusetts, my home state and the heart of preppiness. Read more
