Vote Anti Incumbent

The WSJ has an article saying Obama will be the Democratic candidate, now that former Senators Nunn of GA and David Boren of OK have endorsed Obama, it is all over.

They go on to say Obama has raised way more money and from his website and individuals. Ms. Clinton has not done as well and is going back to her machine repeatedly for money, which is getting old and has some detractors. 

I think I agree. It will be Obama vs McCain in November.

Looks like Obama is going to win this thing - and be the Democratic party candidate.  No wonder the Clintons are talking about a can’t lose ticket - with the both of them on it.   They wish.  It was admirable to hear Obama diss the idea - saying he is running for President and offering no moves toward a joint ticket with the Clintons.

Sean Hannity and the right wing radio crowd are now blasting Obama all day long. This tells me, they too believe Obama will be the Democratic candidate.  They really wanted to win, as they have waged wage on her for many years.  Also they know Independents may vote for Obama over McCain and his Republican friends.  So now all day long you will hear right wing radio blast Obama from even angle. Got to put a doubt in people’s mind.  Just like that blasted President Clinton (who was a far sight better than there man Bush).  But it doesn’t’ matter, the people who listen to that garage already have their minds made up.

By the way did you see McCain and President Bush all buddy buddy at the White House photo op.  I don’t think McCain realizes (or Bush for that matter) how low in respect Bush has fallen in the people’s eyes.  Why would you want Bush to support you??? 

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.

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.

Obama easily defeated Hillary Clinton in the SC primary. Does this mean it is over for Hillary Clinton?  Clinton is leading in states like California and New York.  But Southern states may vote for Obama.

Comment: Interesting that Southern states vote for a black man and so called “liberal” states do not.

80 percent of Africian Americans voted for Obama.

Comment: Now that he won SC, that should give the signal it is OK to vote for Obama. This may pick up steam.

SC Polls now say US ready for a black or female president.

Comment: After George Bush, why not?

In SC, Economy and health care are top concerns, even above Iraq.

Reports out this morning indicate Senator Kerry endorsing Barack Obama as well as the culinary union in Nevada.  This Obama campaign is is picking up stream with these two endorsements.

Hillary Clinton only has a 3 percentage lead with 75 percentage of precincts counted.  Overall counting Iowa, Clinton and Obama in a tie. Obama’s win in Iowa certainly helped increase his showing in New Hampshire, I think.  Now for South Carolina it is going to be the Democratic winner….. who knows… no one. As stated before, polls are not accurate. Usually the one ahead in the polls…. will not in fact be the winner.

It is clear now that Barark Obama is the anti incumbent candidate on the Democratic party side in this election. As evidence, most independents voted for him, women and minorities. He got quite a start winning Iowa and reportedly may do quite well in New Hampshire. Well shall see on Tuesday.

Ron Paul is the anti incumbent candidate on the Republican part side. He is shunned by the news media, TV and right wing radio.  He has a grass roots support from intelligent people and a big following on the Internet. He speaks straightforward and is clearly not part of the Establishment.

There seems to be no third party independents anymore.  I don’t even know who the Libertarian candidate is or was.  Funny, I voted for the Libertarian candidate last presidential election, but do not even know the candidate for the 2008 election.

Could Michael Bloomberg be an anti incumbent candidate? Hardly. He could be an Independent Party candidate but Mr. Mayor, Mr. Owns Everything could hardly be anti incumbent.

I don’t understand why all the establish does not like this guy. Well yes I do too.  He doesn’t go along with their way of doing things. He is different. Which is exactly the reason I like him.  

I used to listen to Neal Boortz radio show.  But since he elects to cut off anyone who is for Ron Paul, I cut Neal Boortz’s web link off our site.  He is boring anyway.  

It looks like Ron Paul is the most anti incumbent candidate on both the Republican and Democratic sides.  Runner up is probably Obama.  

Our blog hit a glitch when we were transferring to a new server and our history got wiped out.  You would think I would have a good backup, but nooooooooooo.  Anyway, we are back up on our new powerful server and starting again.

So who are you going to vote for, that may sound like they are not a incumbent or more of the same.  Of the Democrats still in the race, Obama sounds the most anti incumbent. Of the Republicans, Ron Paul sounds like the most anti establishment. But are these who we are aiming for with an anti incumbent vote.  Well they both are already elected politicians, even though they are not running for their same office seat. But they both are the most non mainstream.  At this late date will anyone else come on the scene that are any more anti incumbent.  Doesn’t appear that will happen, does it?

Good to be back and remember, vote anit incumbent!!
