Right now you might have a thought on your mind: How to win the 2008 election Marathon?

The presidential election process of 2008 has been different from the start, since it started earlier and with a bigger bang than any presidential election in recent history.

Both party’s contest has turned into a real horse race, and at this point the horses have reached almost the stretch and it still is anyone’s race for the take.

This election will break a record regarding the amount of money needed to keep a candidate on the race.

What should we do to make this election even more exciting and go all the way?

Democratic party rules allow anyone to stand for the presidential nomination in the August convention, irrespective of whether they have fought the primaries. If the delegates fail to provide an absolute majority for one candidate, a second round of voting is held, and delegates are free to vote as their conscience dictates.

And the Democratic Party can come out of its August Convention with the only candidate that can win the November 2008 election – Al Gore.

WELFARE - not even the Republicans have the nerve to touch on that subject.

Welfare is money paid to persons, from a government, who are in need of financial assistance but who are unable to work for pay.

A social welfare provision refers to any program which seeks to provide a minimum level of income, service or other support for disadvantaged peoples such as the poor, elderly, disabled, students, unpaid workers such as mothers and other caregivers, and underprivileged groups.

From January 1974 to January 2008 = 34 years

What $ 1.00 bought in January 1974 in January of 2008 we need at least $ 5.00 to buy that same item. In another words, if you still receiving today the same amount of money that you used to receive in 1974 then you lost 80 percent of your purchasing power or you got a cut on your income of 80 percent because of inflation during that period.

Today there is a subject that even the Republicans don’t have the nerve to talk about – WELFARE - and the Republicans usually don’t care which group of people they are screwing most of the time.

Here is why...

I don’t understand why the people from around the world still are sending so much money to be invested in the United States when the system it is run not much better than a "Banana Republic."

The politicians in Washington can’t connect the dots even if it is necessary to save their own lives – most of them lack even a minimum amount of common sense.

You really don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that it would be nice to extend the safety net when the country is in the process of getting into a major recession.

I know it is very hard to connect the dots and figure out that when you are getting into a recession the unemployment figures it will go up as more people lose their jobs as the economy starts to implode.

I also know that it is very hard to connect the dots that by giving an unemployment extension the government would be putting money in the pockets of people that might be able to pay their mortgage and keep the sub prime mess from getting in even worse shape.

Actually an unemployment extension would help people pay their bills when they don’t have another source of income; kind of help people to stay afloat.

The Ronald Reagan Ultimate Legacy will be the following:

During Ronald Reagan’s two-term in office (8 years), the US government added another $ 1.7 trillion to the cumulative total debt of the US government. That $ 1.7 trillion dollar debt it is equivalent to $ 2.5 - $ 3.0 trillion dollars in today’s money.

The real legacy of Ronald Reagan to future American generations is a legacy of debt; lots of debt. He left a very large outstanding bill for future American generations to pay it.

He wasted a large chunk of that money in defense spending at a time when the economy of the Soviet Union was in the process of imploding, and in the way to a total financial collapse.

What Americans have today to show for as a result of Reagan’s massive defense spending? Besides a very large outstanding government debt, Americans also have a bunch of toys and obsolete military technology.

As far as I know the only result of all that spending is a pile of debt sky-high that it will be left behind for future generations to deal with. (Since most of the armament bought in the 1980’s must be completely obsolete by now.)

In 2000, despite polling 500,000 more votes than George W Bush, Al Gore still lost out on the presidency after controversial voter f**** in Florida.

If a similar election had occurred anywhere else around the world at any time, I am sure that the US mainstream media would characterize such an election as nothing more than a coup d’etat.

But since that massive mess happened in the land that its people think they have the ideal political system and they want the rest of the world to copy it – then you can spin it anyway you want – you can even try to convince other people that the results of that election it was not rigged and its voting system is not corrupt.

Anyway, the Democratic Convention is around the corner, and Al Gore will have one last chance to become the Democratic candidate who can win in November of 2008.

The enclosed article caught my attention about 4 years ago. The only problem is that this trend might be accelerating even further today, because of the new technologies that were not available only a few years ago.

The enclosed article explains why jobs are being transferred from the US economy to other countries at a faster rate than before or they are being eliminated forever. The article also gives you the essence of the theory of creative destruction - a critical economic concept that the next president of the United States must understand it.

Complete title of diary:

Who is the best candidate who is ready to confront he tremendous challenges facing the US economy that are just ahead?

The reason that I support Al Gore for president in November of 2008 – it is because in my opinion, he is the candidate who is best prepared to confront the perfect storm that it is just ahead of us.

He has the best understanding of all the candidates of how the world works today and in the coming years. That understanding he earned by being involved very early with the internet and he recognized the internet’s potential before a lot of people.

He understands the devastating impact that the new technologies are going to have in the job market and in the creation of new opportunities. We are just in the beginning of a major transformation as never seen before.

This is why we need a man such as Al Gore to guide the US economy to the tremendous challenges that are just ahead – and we will need a man with outstanding credentials such as Al Gore to help create the solutions and implement it to the new global economy.

If the American people really wanted change, real change, then there is only one presidential ticket that can deliver such a thing: Al Gore / Ralph Nader.

An Al Gore / Ralph Nader ticket would represent the real thing and not the superficial meaning of the word CHANGE – for the other candidates that word means just business as usual.

Every place you go people are talking about the candidates and the coming election – but there is one thing it is almost unanimous most of the people I know here in New Jersey and in New York City are not happy with the choices that they have for the coming presidential election, and most people are talking in terms of voting for someone just to keep someone else from being elected.

The democrats after they lose the election in November of 2008 they are going to look back and they are going to wonder what happened?

In my opinion the Democratic Party deserve to lose in November of 2008 because they are not running with its best bet to win the presidency in November of 2008.

"RNC Makes Punishment of Early-Voting States Official"

The Republican National Committee has punished five states for scheduling their primaries earlier than allowed, reducing the number of delegates they can send to the 2008 convention by half.

In letters that went out today, RNC Chairman Mike Duncan informed New Hampshire, Michigan, Florida, South Carolina and Wyoming to expect that only half of their delegates would be allowed to come to the convention.

The action was widely expected in the wake of decisions by the states to move their primaries into early January. With a few exceptions, the RNC had insisted that all contests take place between Feb. 5 and July 28.

Leaders in the five states have come to the conclusion that it's better for their state to be more relevant by holding their nominating contests earlier. Iowa and Nevada hold contests in January, but officially select their delegates later in the year, so they were not punished...
