Throw Your Hatred Down

Here’s a pretty good CNN article about the upside of the whole ridiculous Rev. Wright controversy.

You know, a “smug, elitist grin” spreads across my face every time I hear someone scrutinizing Barack’s connections, political and otherwise. Here’s my first level of amusement: what politician doesn’t have a few “black sheep”? Secondly, with a documented upwards 8% of Americans unwillingly to support a candidate based upon race, how do you expect [...]

Except I don’t think you can chalk up my sentiments about last night’s debate to senility/overall aged crankiness…
However, please accept my gripes from last night as though I were your wise-ish neighborhood curmudgeon.

Gibson and Stephanopolous lobbed softballs to a smug, smiling Hillary all-night-long
When Obama attempted to respond, the “moderators” cut him off as though they [...]

This story is aggravating. It’s even more aggravating, because I’m intrigued by the idea. Gore/Obama makes a little too much sense.

We knew they couldn’t stop Obama in a clean campaign. It’s already been proven. But, this, friends, is an all-time low…
They’ve been hacking into Barack’s passport files — looking for god knows what.

The talk of do-overs in Florida and Michigan stand to hurt Barack’s chances. I hope he can nip these cheating ways in the bud. States who do not comply with the Party’s wishes SHOULD be punished.

Hillary Clinton’s 3am red phone ad may have won Texas and Ohio, but it was a poorly researched low blow. The actual imagery was from Getty Images and the young girl is now twenty-something. She is a democrat and very politically involved. For which candidate? You guessed it: Obama. I saw her on Good Morning [...]

These are positive signs from the Rasmussen Report. It’s hard for me to believe that McCain has the edge in popular vote and I’m scared by the “safe” red state. However, the overall electoral college estimates are encouraging.
On a lighter note, here’s a humorously scathing Anti-Dean ad.

It has been a great week for Obama. His current victory streak is golden in an age of instant reporting. He has some serious momentum. Hillary is looking flustered — also a good sign.

We all know today is Super Tuesday. Let’s hope for a great turn out at the polling places — young people in droves, I hope. If Barack can ride this current wave of enthusiasm, endorsement, and fundraising, perhaps he can make a dent in the machine.
