I’m not thrilled with his blue statedness, but it’s more that makes every song sound so much alike that bothers me.
I will be shocked if he doesn’t win, though.
The redstate bluestate divide concept has entered the Idol competition. Politics has produced a stain on a singing competition.
The article in question notes that Adam is pretty much groomed to present himself as the ideal of the liberal urbanites who elected Obama. He is polite, speaks softly but with authority, fits the popular gay template, is the end product of the progressive revolution.
Meanwhile over at Newsweak, writers fret over Dannie and the Christian vote. Will the terrible Christian hordes turn out enmasse and destroy the competition by inserting religion into the mix. This is done while neglecting the fact that the apparent favorite seems to be or at least presents himself as queer.
What of the Queer vote? What of those who vote queer because and soley because it is trendy? Is that not equally bad as the Christian vote?
Alas the Christian vote either didn’t exist or was not nearly as strong as Newsweak feared.
There is one fact apparent however. This year, there is a little more to it than a singing competition.
