Be sure to watch a C-Span re-run of McCain's interview this morning. He acquitted himself very well...the best I have ever heard him speak. (I don't say that lightly since I have had some qualms about him before this.)
Molly Pitcher and Mr. MP! lysie and Gregg! DollyCali! Great pictures of you all enjoying your gettogether.
After enjoying 70s and even one 80 degree day last week, I woke up this morning to 35 degrees...brrr.
Good morning C-mom. Good that McCain is getting his message down better....I share your qualms.
I’m beginning to wash windows today and boy, are they dirty! It’s a thankless job because it won’t be long until they look like they haven’t been washed at all.
It seems to me this year is the worst situation the Democrats have faced since 1972. But I need to remember that in the spring of 1972.. in fact in July 1972 the media and its polls showed George McGovern doing well against Nixon. It think the Nixon staffers did Watergate because they thought McGovern was going to win in the fall election.
But Nixon won the 2nd biggest victory of the 20th Century with FDR in 1936 only besting Nixon's vote percentage by one tenth of one percent. Roosevelt got 60.8 in 1936 compared to Nixon's 60.7 in 1972.
So I guess I should not be surprised to see the polls show what they do. But beyond that it is obvious either Hillary or Obama will be disaster come election time this fall.
Obama is the bigger disaster. There is no way that working class Democrats are going to vote for Obama. Obama knows it ... that is why he lashed out at them in his recent speech. White Working Class men and women are scared to death that Obama will affirmative action them out of their jobs or at the minimum least put vindictive blacks in as their bosses.
They don't like Hillary and a lot of them don't want a woman, but they will vote for a woman in the primary if that is what it takes to defeat Obama. I think the more the media touts Obama as a sure winner, the more votes there will be against him in the primary.
But more important than that,is what will happen this fall. A large number of white working class democrats will not vote for either Obama or Hillary this fall. If it is Hillary some will not vote at all. But many will vote for McCain. If it is Obama on the Democrat side nearly all will vote for McCain. Not only that many of them will not go back to the Democratic party.
My Reading of people is that Obama will do for Democrats in the Midwest what McGovern did for Democrats in the south... he converted them to Republicans.
This is a very important election. And I believe that a large number of Democrats especially in the industrial Midwest will be Republicans by November.
The media has put a AK-47 to the head of the Democratic party and they are in the process of pulling the trigger. They think they are shooting the Elephant but the media barrel is aimed squarely at the Donkey's head.
