Win Butler endorses Obama



Barack Obama's march toward the Democratic nomination continued in force today, getting the thumbs up from Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler. No word on the preference of wife Regine, but since they haven't given residents of the 51st state the vote yet, I suppose she doesn't matter much. Butler joins, as previously mentioned, Conor Oberst and Jeff Tweedy, further strengthening this blog's claim that he is the indie candidate in the race.

Butler speaks:
I am watching Hillary Clinton in her victory speech in new Hampshire...they just threw a bunch of college kids behind her, and had her talk about student loans, and had her daughter come out for a long awkward hug...does anyone actually buy it? Surely young people are too media savvy to be fooled by this kind of shit.
do we live in a democracy so we can just keep electing the same families?
Barack is the first candidate in my lifetime to strip some of this bullshit away, and I just hope we don't blow this chance.
man if we miss this opportunity we don't deserve it...how bad does it have to get?

fuck!!!!!!!!!

Stay tuned for further indie political news.
