Everybody of course is trying to figure out who is going to win the next primary and who will be the Democratic nominee. My guess: I figure it will be Senator Obama. Why? He is kicking out the plain old stuff that the dems have been from way way back when. The problem? Most of the people today don't recognize it. That's my take on it with some info from Rush Limbaugh.
I'll tell ya one thing, I'm pleased with our side's nominee of Senator McCain. Though it will be neat to see once the dems (if ever) get their act together who they pack for their candidate. If it is Senator Clinton, we are in for a bigger battle than many of us know or think.

Latest Election Thoughts
It appears that Sen McCain is winning the primaries and Sen Obama too.
I personally am happy that Sen Obama is winning on the Democratic side; it's a nice thing to see Sen Clinton taking a hit for once and losing. Heaven forbid.
Sen McCain is winning on the Republican side; that I am not real pleased about. I do respect the man for his service to our country. I do NOT like the idea of having a 70something year old man as the President of the United States. Plus, he has not followed along more with some of Republicans instead sounding like a Democrat. I just don't entirely trust him; I'd rather have Romney or Huckabee in his place.
That's it for now.

State of the Union Address 2008: Democrat's Response
One word does stand out while watching the response: boring and not very inspiring. President Bush did better, in my opinion.
She took shots at Iraq, the economy, and everything else.
Her main thing: President Bush, join us i.e. the Democrats and let's get to work.
He already laid out things and how to plan things tonight. The problem is not him rather THEM. They are the ones who are putting things into stalls or tailspins.
The key thing to watch is to see if the Republicans will help get some Democrats to support and get the bill going to extend our abilities to listen to the terrorists and whatnot occurring. If that does not occur, we are screwed now and for a long time.

State of the Union Address 2008
State of the Union Analysis while watching
Quick fact: applause count (I am off by a few I'm sure) 67.
He stated that there was debate back and forth between both sides.
He touched on the economy i.e. it wasn't doing well therefore then put together the stimulus package.
President Bush stated that the legislators should not add to it plus pass it ASAP.
Stated we should make the tax relief permanent. Doesn't that sound like the Republican candidates?
If any bill that raises taxes hits his desk=veto it.
Sending budget to Congress that will cut a lot of unneeded programs.
Will send back appropriations bill if it doesn't cut the earmarks in half.
Executive order to ignore earmarks if not voted on by Congress; the various government agencies.
President Bush basically stated to let the people make the best decisions rather than the government get involved.
How? "Expand consumer choice, not government control."
Touched on education, health care, and the housing market.
President Bush stated that the No Child Left Behind Act is a bipartisan achievement; he listed various facts ranging from that scores were higher or getting there.
Brought up the new plan/idea of Pell Grants for Kids; that is interesting I must admit.
Work on focusing on those items made in the USA.
I'm seeing a theme of trusting in the people rather than the government getting in the way. A theme that makes sense.
Focus on coal power while capturing the bad emissions.
President Bush brought up an international agreement to reduce green house gasses.
He mentioned the stem cell issue specifically taking some from an adult and making it act like it was embryonic stem cells.
Treat life with dignity i.e. buy, sell, patent, or clone human life.
Pass the judicial nominees and stop holding them back from being appointed.
Asked Congress to permanently extend Charitable Choice.
Asked Congress to come up with bipartisan solutions to fix Social Security, Medicare etc.
Immigration
Secure the borders; need to create a lawful way to have immigrants come and support our economy.
Illegal immigration must be fixed using "our laws and upholding our highest ideals."
Liberty will be opposed by terrorists and extremists; "...We will deliver justice to our enemies."
Freedom is being spread.
Focused on Iraq; President Bush thanked and stated "they have the gratitude of our whole nation." I wish this was true; some don't give them their gratitude i.e. the Democrats.
Stated the surges (both American and Iraqi) are working. I must admit, I still find it funny the people don't think they are/deny it. Just because you can't see it in the numbers go down, does NOT mean they are not working. Not everything is immediate people....Shesh...
President Bush stated that from the terrorists point of view, the surge is working.
Holy Crap! He just made a pledge that those serving will have "all that you need" to fight the war on terrorism.
Laid out the challenge to Congress "Fully fund our troops."
"Reconciliation is taking place, and the Iraqi people are taking control of their future."
"We will not rest until this enemy has been defeated."
President Bush mentioned that Israel and democratic Palestine live "side by side."
I must admit that is a very bold statement.
He also fired some shots at Iran. Go figure that they are trying to deny freedom and the movement of progress i.e. freedom. Duh!
Nice that he mentioned those keeping us safe and that we owe them our thanks.
President Bush "the time to act is now!" He stated this regarding the bill which allows us to monitor communications of terrorists and whatnot. That expires on February 1.
"America opposes genocide in Sudan."
Asked Congress to approve an additional 30 billion dollars to help fight the aids epidemic over in Africa.
Strength of our nation lies in our people, not in the government. Major ditto! :)

Florida Primary Predictions
Here's my predictions for Florida and who will win:
Democrats: Sen Clinton, Sen Obama, Sen Edwards
I'm basing that on the Real Clear Politics Poll information, though I could be wrong and an upset may occur.
Republicans: The state is made up of various older people including military and retirees. That will play a factor in this particular race. I think that Sen McCain may get the support of those in the military yet, the rest of them will swing over to Governor Romney since they want a better economy and that Social Security will be covered which he does address (better in my opinion) more so than Sen McCain.
Gov Romney in 1st place, and Sen McCain in 2nd place respectively
Democrats: Sen Clinton, Sen Obama, Sen Edwards

State of the Union 2008 Pre-Thoughts
Hello everyone,
As you're aware of (at least I hope) the State of the Union Address is tonight at 8:55 PM EDT tonight. Here's some brief thoughts before it occurs:
Fox News Channel on the Fox Report (Carl Cameron and Major Garret) stated that we'll see if the Democrats huddle around Sen Obama or Sen Clinton.
Another thing to keep in mind is that both the Senate and the House are a majority of Democrats. So, how does that apply to tonight? Don't expect too many applauses tonight expect a few if they have to i.e. show support and fake it etc.
One last thing is: the media will (and has been today; Countdown on MSNBC showed all these things up with the word up in red letters: global terrorism. national deficit etc) downplay the economy before and afterward as much as possible.

Latest Republican Debate Thoughts
Mike H is stating that our infrastructure is falling apart. He just made a statement that sounded like FDR and the new deal.Part of which made the Tennessee Dam
Ron Paul just went on his crazy rant again.
Tim Russert asked a great question with all the numbers going down i.e. deficit, gas going up etc why should the people want another Republican in the White House?
Sen McCain answered great: he stated that the dems will do (what we all should know and expect) raise taxes and increase spending
Mike H just stated something interesting, a trickle up effect. Basically keeping an eye on what people are doing at the bottom
"When Republicans act like Democrats, people loose." Gov Romney
Ron Paul stated the war was not worth it; the mothers and family members of the troops are not going to be for him at all.
Gov Giuliani just struck out at President Clinton regarding the military being cut down. Keep an eye on the polls and how the Clintons react. Hey may pay dearly for lashing out at President Clinton yet, the big question is: how will they spin it?
Another question: who is really running? President Clinton or Senator Clinton?
Gov Romney says he supports the 2nd Amendment; will the NRA back him?
Gov Giuliani stated to let the technology solve the Global Warming issue instead of putting caps on things.
So far I think this has been a good debate. The thing to remember is: will these candidates keep their promises when they hit the White House, whoever that ends up being. I still personally think that the Republicans will do a better job regarding the economy and military issue.
Gov Romney thinks that people will not choose a candidate based on their stances not their religious background.
Mike H's attitude is let's work on what we can do instead of can't. I like that sort of attitude and that's the true American Spirit there.
Sen McCain just gave praise to Gov Giuliani; that was a nice touch yet, his last statement made me wonder if he'll put out soon. I doubt that at the present.

Latest Rant on the Political Race and Landscape
Hello everyone,
It has been awhile so figured I'd post my latest thoughts on the current race and whatnot. Here's what I'll cover in today's post:
1. South Carolina
2. Florida
3. Gravel
1. Sen Obama will take the state followed by Sen Clinton and former Sen Edwards. That's my prediction unless something drastic happens. That also goes along with the data from Real Clear Politics. It appears the race will be between Sen Obama and Clinton once again with Sen Edwards trailing behind. My prediction? I expect him to pull out here after South Carolina or Florida. I might be dead wrong and he may stay throughout the campaign yet, one has to ask "What else would he do?" He's no longer a Senator; he'd probably just go back to being a lawyer yet, this campaign is more fun that than sure. I expect him if he does pull out not to endorse anybody unless the Clintons get their fingers in and make him back Sen Clinton. We'll just have to watch and see what happens folks.
2. Florida is the next big race on the country-wide ballot and Giuliani is in the headlines as slipping poll wise. I watched a clip where he talked about the current situation. It struck me that he was almost trying to convince himself that things would turn around. Only time will tell with that campaign and we'll see how the voters react.
3. Sen Gravel is the nutcase from Alaska. One wonders where or what he has been up to all this time. I expect him to back out due to financial problems and so will Rep Kucinich though I doubt either of that will make the airwaves except for a small blurb. I doubt that either will throw their support behind anyone though Kucinich might back Sen Edwards or someone just to throw Sen Clinton off. He seems somewhat like the kinda of guy who would do such a thing. I could be wrong who knows.
Keep an eye on all that's going on people, stay informed, and remember: Your Vote Counts!
That's it for now.

Latest Republican Debate Continued
None of the Republicans stand out moreso than the other.
I must admit I still am not quite sure who I’m going to vote for just yet.
This latest debate is at least somewhat better than the Democrats though, not entirely.
Mike H is somewhat of a war hawk.
Ron Paul seems ok yet, I don't think he's Presidential material. He stated something about not hearing yet, his point of jumping in too quick is valid.
I don't think when push comes to shove he'd have the guts to do what needs to be done.
Ron Paul apparently wants to pull the troops out and let the Arab nations talk/ solve their own problems. That isn't gonna happen buddy so good luck.
Sen Thompson wants to support Musharraf. He newsflash: he's a general and a dictator not a guy who is going to help us.
Ron Paul stated that we treat Israel as a step child. He doesn't get my vote and he's nuts.
Talking about change now in the debate......
Fred Thompson has a good record and pro-life one. That's good to know in my book.
Ron Paul is rambling again regarding his qualifications for electability. He still isn't gonna get my vote.
Romney will make the illegals go through the process to be here legally.
Sen Thompson states that we should have high fences and wide gates. We should have the choice as to when to open the gates and not to open them.
Gov Giuliani let illegals report crime and illegals get access to schools. That does not sit well with me and he is not gonna be President. No vote for him due to that
plus his pro-choice issues.
Latest Republican Debate
I've been relaxing and am watching the rerun of the latest Republican Debate on Fox News Channel. Here's some thoughts so far:
1. Ron Paul answered a question and literally lost me. That's somewhat scary.
2. Sen. Thompson stated that we (the Republicans on the platform) are after the heart and soul of the Republican Party. He is correct in that statement.
He also just laid into Mike H basically stating his policy was a Democrat.

Timing and Election 2008
Headline: Governor Richardson leaves the race for President
That is one of the big headline cruising around in the political arena this week. Yet, the timing of it I found rather interesting. Apparently the New Mexico legislature swings into gear later on this week. What a coincidence eh? Interesting how that timing came out like that. I personally think he knew that his run wouldn't get very far. So, he pulled out right before the state legislature got into gear. I think he new and planned it that way just to say/get in there and run.
That's all for now.

Voters and Feelings
The voter who made Sen Clinton cry, jumped ship. There's a scary part though. First, here's the link: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/09/voter-who-made-clinton-cry-picked-obama/
Did you see where she talked about her vote was based on her feelings? We are screwed ladies and gentlemen. If whoever gets as President for the dems based on feelings its game over. Plus the voters: what the heck are you doing? That just so riles me. Seriously. You vote based on: qualifications and principles!!! Not how ya feel when ya wake up and role out of bed in the morning. I swear, if this occurrs more and more in the next primaries, your vote and mine will be even more important now than ever.

Hillary and McCain Win in N.H.
Well, my predictions were off this time around. I am still surprised that Sen Clinton won; I am still not sure as for the reasoning for the shifts. We'll see what happens in the next states. Who will keep up the moment? Who will snag another win? Nobody knows. I do know that Senator Obama will keep pushing forward and will give Sen Clinton a run for her money. Share you thoughts and comments below.
One final thought, I enjoyed Mike Huckabee and Sen Obama's speeches the best out of both sides. Senator Obama's speech was better than Senator Clinton's and Mike Huckabee's was genuine and heartfelt.

New Hampshire: 2008 Election
The numbers are just trickling in as the polls begin to close. We'll see who all wins this state. Many are stating Romney will win here or possibly McCain.
My prediction: Sen. Obama and Mike H respectively.
Another thing, is I am tired of hearing this change rhetoric. It is rather sickening, why not just go and do something to make the change instead of just talk. Talk is cheap people, work at making the changes not just say "I can do it."
Fox News Channel just ran a crawler stating 500,000 predicted to come out. Apparently that's a new record. What does that mean for this state? All the current media predictions are out the window. Another key issue is the aura floating around Sen Clinton's camp regarding the shakeup, let go, and bringing in former people to help her campaign.
Oh, one other note: Sen Clinton's teary moment the other day. I saw that clip on CNN.com and found it interesting. It showed compassion/almost teary eyed. Do I believe it? Let's put this clip into perspective. It was a few brief days before NH after her loss in Iowa. Coincidence? I think not rather another lame attempt from the Clinton campaign to try and get ahead in the race.
Here's the link: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/08/cafferty-an-unscripted-clinton/
Lastly, we must remember that the election is not until November which is eleven, (eleven!) months away. We will not know until that day who will be in the White House as the next president of the United States of America.

Senator Obama in NH
I watched part of his speech in Nashua, NH that he gave to a group of people. He touched a lot of things mainly appealing to the people i.e. health care, Iraq etc. I can see how people are going for him: he's young, something different than the usual, and does have charisma. One thing that would be interesting is if Oprah (hypothetically) pulled out and did not support Senator Obama, would he still be able to keep cruising forward. My bet is that he might be able to yet having Oprah does not hurt at all.
I would say to keep an eye on the Senator, he will be an interesting one to watch as we move forward toward November.

New Hampshire 2008
I am just now watching part of the democratic debate in NH live online at the moment. A few brief thoughts:
Same old stuff. John Edwards play his family card i.e. worked hard to get where he is etc. I was surprised that nobody in the crowd shed a tear. I'm sure that if there was the cameras missed it.
I'm hearing rants about the environment and taxes etc. What about the current situation etc? Foreign policy etc? Hello we are at war here people.
Easy questions. The media will keep feeding them the easy pitches. Ugh.
Senator Clinton dodged the last question about whatever a candidate wanted to take back.
Senator Obama went out to the crowd and shook hands. Working on the public which is a good move for him. I doubt Hillary would do that. Correction: she was out shaking a few hands; hand sanitizer after when she gets offstage I'm sure.
We'll see what happens on Tuesday. I'll do what I can to watch part of the Republican one is possible and share my thoughts on that.
