South Carolina! Need I Say More?

Oh, my goodness!

I am just filled with joy on this day!

Obama is ruling the day and the Clintons' tactics blew up in their faces!

I really believe that the more the Clintons bring up race, the more it's going to accentuate their own failings. Dirty politics has never worked with me, and I'm becoming more and more hopeful that my fellow Americans are waking up and smelling the BS.

South Carolina! Need I say more?

Well, the Cali primary is on February 5th and for the first time in many a long year, I'm thinking that my vote is really going to make a difference, instead of making the best of a bunch of bad choices.

As I've said before, I don't think Hilary can win the Presidential election. Too many people just plain hate Bill. She's going to lose votes because of her husband.

I really believe Obama has a better chance of crossover votes from the Republican side. He's not too, too liberal. He's not too, too conservative. He FEELS like he's a better representative of the majority of Americans.

I was really doubtful that Americans were ready for a Black President, but every day I'm feeling more and more optimistic that Obama is THE choice for the Democrats.

Go Obama!!

Hmmm... Now this is interesting!

The primaries are certainly causing the local commentators to talk. All of their predictions seem to be completely off. Now that's a fascinating thought, have America's political commentators and radio talk show hosts finally lost all touch with the public?

I've been wondering about that for a while. I've noticed that all too many are marching lockstep with their broadcasting brethren and dissenting voices were disappearing. It was basically becoming the two extremes, Bernie Ward vs Rush. (Umm, we won't go into current legal issues...) It seems like they'd discounted both Obama and McCain. And now, oh my goodness!

I have to admit, I wasn't sure that America was ready to accept Obama. I am, but the rest of the country, hmmmm, I really thought the Clinton machine was going to roll over the Democratic Party like an M1 Abrams tank crushing aluminum cans.

And McCain, what a surprise! The only candidate that admits to being in favor of the Iraq action and on top of it, his campaign is out of money!

I must admit, I'm pleasantly surprised by this turn of events. Of course, there are a lot more primaries ahead, so things can change pretty quickly. But now, this is interesting!
