Here we go again

 

1. I love watching the Democrats implode from fratricide.  One at a time, the stench climbs higher and higher.  Now it’s taken out Geraldine Ferraro.  When will it take out Pelosi, Feinstein and the rest of the 2 faced lunatics. 

   What I’m seeing is the Hillary campaign breaking itself on Obama and taking the rest of the Democrats down with it.  Soon the backlash against Obama will begin and that will be the functional end of the Dems for a while.  The Dems are splintering into a lot of warring factions.  If the Republicans don’t get terminally stupid, they can stop the Dems cold this year. 

   Then again, I look at the last election when Bush barely squeaked by Kerry.  Let’s be honest, there were plenty of people who didn’t like Bush at that time and they took it out on their Senators and Congressmen.  John Kerry was about the only candidate who could have lost to Bush.  While Bush hung onto the White House, the Republicans lost a lot of seats to Democrats.  Wasn’t anybody watching?  The Republicans needed to play it differently and didn’t.  Four years ago was the warning.

2. The thing I find tactically scary about this is.... it’s a gamble on the young vote, one that has been tried and I think failed before. Young people support in campaigning, but they tend to be too lazy, too easily bored, to actually *go* there on voting day and pull the lever. I can’t really say much, I tend to be pretty apathetic myself.
   BUT
   If they can figure out a way to make a party out of it, to make voting the answer to “I’m bored, what do ya want to do?” on that day, the youth vote will sweep all before it. Note the religious revival flavor of Hussein’s rallies. The risk those behind this are running is twofold, that making a party of it will fail (after all, Hussein Himself(tm) can’t be at every polling place), or that it will succeed but turn from a party into a riot.

   As far as I can tell, things like MTV’s “Rock the Vote” haven’t made much of an impact historically. Given the results if they *do* make an impact, I hope that trend continues.

3. Re Michael Steele. It wasn’t all that long ago that Oreo cookies were thrown at him from the audience at a debate held at Morgan State University, a ‘premier’ installation for “higher learning” catering to black Americans. Mr. Steele obviously lacked B.O.’s
   blackness.

4. I was a Maryland resident while Steele was Lt. Gov.
   I admire the way he thinks and he certainly is about as conservative as they come. Blackness revoked? HA! I think the PC crowd never admitted in the first place he was black, otherwise they’d have supported his run for Senate.
   I’d support him for any office he runs for where I have a vote.
   He’d make a much better President than any of the imbessels & maroons (sorry, Bugs...) that are running now.
