I have been watching and bitching about the series of debates, so far. The candidates never seemed to be asked for specifics and are allowed to just repeat most of their rhetoric from the campaign trail. I thought I would offer a few thoughts on maybe a good use of the time to help the voter understand some of the campaign.
The media is in a froth over the coming contests in Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania. They are analyzing from every angle; talking to every surrogate and doing the math. But, IMO, they are overlooking a few facts in their reporting.
Flash! Mitt Romney yesterday surprised the hell out of me by announcing that he was supporting McCain for the presidency. There has got to be more to this story than just an endorsement.
Recently much has been written and reported about the remaining candidates trying to meet with Edwards and try to wrangle an endorsement out of him.
I wrote this before the Potomac primaries and I noticed that some of the suggestions are already making waves in the last primaries. Since it seems to be working, I suggest that it be more forcefully employed in the Big 3 primaries of Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania.
Republicans are pathetic! they keep invoking the memory of Reagan, time and time again. Does no one remember the Reagan years? well. I do and I did not see the great savior that they see. He was the one that helped create the two Americas that we now live in.
This is a reprint of my Mississippi state blog. If Clinton wins the nomination, she will have a hard time in the South. McCain can solidify his hold on the South with the right Veep. There is a pretty good list of those that are possible candidates for the position and I am not the first to suggest the following. But I do have my reasons.
Much has been reported about the success that Obama is having at motivating people to get out and vote. He seems to appeal to a broad field of voters, but the ones that seems to embrace his message are the young, the less than 30 crowd. He is also appealing to the Gen Xers, the 31-49 group.
Back in 1874, cartoonist Thomas Nast came up with the donkey as the symbol of the Democratic Party. And now that symbol is being torn apart slowly and agonizingly. Recently, I read an article in the Nation magazine about this very subject. The author, John Nichols, sees the progressives within the Democratic Party as the very soul of the party and that it is slowly losing its soul.
It seems that the DNC is doing an excellent job at motivating the masses to get out and participate in this election cycle. Grassroots activist have done there job well, Obama and Clinton are pretty much in statistical dead heat as Super Tuesday approaches. That, to me, shows that the all is progressing well.
This is a reprint from my blog. After watching the Repub debate on thursday and all the analysis by political pundits, I had to write about Mitt. IMO, he is a fake with no real stands on the issues. Dems need to watch this guy and vote to keep this phony out of the WH.
Bill is acting more like the candidate than the spouse of the candidate. Bill is acting as the front man for the campaign, but should that not be the "actual" candidate's job? He is explaining things to the press, if it concerns the campaign should not the candidate be doing that? I think most Dems realize where Bill stands and any further clarification should fall in Hillary's lap.
