I recently dated a woman with bi-polar disorder and I can tell you it was a roller coaster ride at best One day i am better than sliced bread and then I am the most worhtless SOB on the planet. I see something similar happening in the primary season.
I have noticed that the posts that get the most response is when one candidate or another is written about. It seems the a persons candidate is the most important thing. Why is this? I do not agree with it. Just wondering.
We all know about the comments of Bill in South Carolina and the Clinton people have spun that out of the news. Now it seems that the "R" is raising its head again. And it comes from...you guessed it....the Clinton camp.
A new poll is out and guess what McCain has closed the gap on Obama/Clinton. It is now a statistical tie on the national level. Last week Obama had a 6 point lead and Clinton had a 4 poit, I believe. But that has been elimated. Nice job.
For the last couple of days this story has made the rounds on talk shows. It is not a major story yet, but it could be soon, very soon. But that said, could it be a possibility?
I am sure everyone that is interested in the nomination process has bee watching and shaking their heads at the turns this cycle has taken. Somewhere I read here that someone was saying that this process and the turns it is taking could well be the end of the Dem Party. I wish I could recall who said that, maybe not first, but constantly. Wait! It was me!
WAIT! Before I am bombarded with the cluster bombs of rhetoric, hear me out. First I am A Progressive Democrat so that puts nay troll BS to bed. Second, I am just making an observation here.
That is the question of the day and it is continuously asked in MSM. Can Obama counter all that Clinton is throwing at him? The 3 a.m. phone add is the one that comes to mind. Can he counter Clinton's claim to having the experience to handle such an emergency?
I have given much thought to history of the Democratic Party. I am a Democrat, a Progressive democrat and I see the party not doing what was intended when it was founded. I worry that we are losing the party of the people. This next general election will determine what will become of the party. I just hope it is something I can live with.
In the past the Clinton camp has accused the media of giving Obama a free ride. To a small extent that is true , he has gotten a free ride. But since the accusation the media has been unmerciful in their attacks and coverage of Obama.
As I promised I will post on why I do not think that Obama is a progressive either. Just like Clinton, I have heard him called a hard core liberal. And for the life of me I do not see where they come up with that analysis.
As a long time and suffering progressive, I would like to analyze the two Democratic candidates from my point of view. To some progressive is a dirty word, for reason, but it was progressives that gave us the party of the people. we have long struggled to make this a more responsive government for the people. Please, before I get any troll crap read what I say about each of the candidates. Obama will be tomorrow's post.
