I Had a Weird Dream
Jonathan Rowe on May 10th 2008
I was at a Convention to elect the President. It was a tight race and apparently electors had to decide. Obama, Clinton, or McCain (I seem to remember a few others) were virtually tied and one super-delegate held enough votes to decide the election. And then he (I think it might have been Bill Clinton) gave the votes to me and said you decide. I walked up to John McCain and said, “Thank you for what you did for your country, Mr. President.” I expected to be interviewed on the media afterwards.
After that I remember hanging around Morrisville, PA (originally owned by Founder Robert Morris), next to where I live in Yardley, where the town all of a sudden had working class, Philadelphia like, row-homes (they don’t) which magically transformed into a long stretch for miles of an indoor like apartment building with hallways where the uniqueness and privacy of the row-home was still preserved. I can’t remember whether I was walking or driving through the hallways.
I’m still planning to vote Libertarian by the way. Rather, I see this as a prophecy.

Oh heavens- I hope not.
Your interpretation of your dream as divine revelation of the 2008 presidential election result is nothing more and nothing less than a Rorsach test type of reflection of your psychology. You are imbued with a supernaturalist worldview.
Heh. I was joking when I noted I thought it was divine revelation.
Today, the latest polls indicate McCain could win, they show him beating both Clinton and Obama. If you correctly soothsayed today that the Libertarian candidate will be elected president in November then I would concede that with a consistent pattern of dreaming away odds like that you could eventually elevate your status to prophet. Not to me, however, I would still be an atheist anyway.
I’ve also see polls that if either Hillary or Obama are the nominee, a significant % of supporters of each will bail for McCain. The only way to quash that, it seems to me, is for a Obama-Clinton ticket.
If there is a strong Democratic Congress, then I’d probably prefer McCain for gridlock purposes.
Hey, how about McCain proving once and for all that he’s the maverick he claims and picking whoever loses the Democratic race as his VP choice! Now there’s a nightmare for you!
