Vote Anti Incumbent

Ann Coulter, conservative commentator says she will campaign for Hilliary Clinton if McCain is the Republican candidate.

James Dobson, right wing called Evangelical leader says he is deeply disappointed in the Republican party if McCain gets the nomination, which seems likely.

Rush Limbaugh, conservatives favorite talk show host, says McCain has stabbed the Republican party in the back numerous times.

So is the Republican party better off without the above characters and can they win without them. That is the predicament.  It seems like these characters are the reason the Republican party was lost to the social conservatives.  Can they retain their grip and stranglehold on the party?  Would the party be better without them?  As an Independent business man, these are the very people that have turned me off the Republican party.

Ron Paul says he will not drop out before the Republican convention. He says he will not endorse nor vote for John McCain, one reason being McCain love of perpetual war.

Tell him Mr. Paul!!

Polls show Obama will match up better than Clinton against McCain.  The conclusion was that Obama does better with men than Clinton and has less negatives.

With Obama’s wins in Washington and Nebraska, he is ties with Clinton. This prompts comparisons like made above on other than votes.

If this continues as a close race for the Democratics, it will costly in money, energy and split the party.

The leaders coming out of Super Tuesday 2008 are John McCain and Hillary Clinton.  These are the establishment candidates. CNBC just said Wall St. will be very comfortable with either of these candidates. There will be no surprises. They will know what to expect. 

Not to rule out Obama, but with a McCain vs. Clinton race, we are heading towards more of the same. Status Quo will be maintained, unless there is an upset by Obama for the Democrats. That is possible but not expected.

This may bode well for the stock market because as they always say “the one thing the stock market doesn’t like is uncertainty”.

My wife got on of those emails, you know the kind that a long list of people had emailed to everyone they knew.  It was about Obama.  It supposedly was from a military man that was upset before Obama did not salute the flag during the pledge of allegiance. As proof there was a photo of Obama hands down and Hilliary with hand over heart. They were on a platform.

In addition the email said Obama was a Muslim.

People think he must be one of those black people that converted and changed their name.

I had read Obama book a few months back and remembered him explaining the common misconception that he was a Muslim.  In the meantime I saw Obama on TV giving a speech in St Louis a couple of days ago.  He said people are sending around emails about him with untruths and specially mentioned these two items that were in the email my wife got, that he does not salute the flag and that he is Muslim.  He took the opportunity to address both of those issues.

Obama says he certainly does salute the flag during the pledge of allegiance and has done so since he was three years old.  When I saw the photo sent around in the email, I kind of thought that was pretty weak “evidence” as it could have been at the start or end of the ceremony.

He also said that his father was at one time a Muslim but by the time he was born, his father was no longer a Muslin.  His father left when he was three years only and had no influence on him above religion. Obama says he is a Christian and has been attending Church for over 20 years.
