trackback
There was a lot of political things that completely happened over the weekend.
Well, we determined how the States of Michigan and Florida would count in The Democratic Primaries. Even though the primaries were held in January, we finally determined how this would work. And, all the hype was one of the most stupidest things in political discourse. When everything was planned out, everyone wanted to be viewed (The States) in the same lights as Iowa & New Hampshire. We thought that the primary was going to be finalized by the National Super Tuesday on February 5th and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton would be the nominee. So much for that. Here is the press release from the DNC. Is the primary over? No. Hillary Clinton won the Puerto Rico Primary by a decisive margin and there are two primaries tomorrow. Will it make a difference? Maybe yes, because of the “Super-delegates” concept, ( you know Next to the Super duper delegates, etc). There is another thing that no one has noticed. No one has caught up on here? When was the last time besides 2008, did we pay attention to the Puerto Rico Primary or the South Dakota Primary? Seriously? The answer is Never. Or Once in a Generation. The Democrats are imploring a 50 state strategy and it was important because of all the media hype that she continue. Besides Ego, that is why Hillary Rodham Clinton chose to stay in. But, by Wednesday. It is over. To Harold Ickes, Mrs Clinton’s campaign manager when the decision was made, “GROW UP!” We need to see what is in the best interest of the country and have a general election debate. Not a Hillary and Barry show.
The second thing is the book by Former Press Secretary Scott McClellan. And, yes, the authors of this blog have actually purchased this book. Originally, the claims were laughable but actually reading the book, there is substance. Former Senator Bob Dole, a statesman who this blog is always a fan, went to a pissy child-like rant. However, NO ONE is discussing the merits of the book, only personally attacking. Now, this blog still thinks that the “I was tricked, I am the victim strategy is just stupid.” The merits of the book were not even discussed. Frank Rich goes into detail here. It was damaging for McClellan to go into detail, but I do not think that It will be hugely influencial on Election 2008. McCain is Not President Bush. Iraq has really changed the political discourse.
The third event was that Barack Obama Quit Trinity United Church in Chicago. This is a non-event that gets turned into an event. On Hannity’s America last night on Fox News, it was interesting of how Hannity was trying to label Barack Obama as a “radical.” But, time will tell. But the story is getting old, and if there is not more of a substantive argument, then by election day, the statement will be ” I quit the church, this is re-hashing of old issues, people are living in the past.”
