It’s not easy for pundits and bloggers to cast a prediction of this nature. It’s certainly not easy to go on such a limb.
Let me go further; I’m not claiming what might happen, what should happen, I’m saying what is going to happen. This isn’t just simply data, numbers, or polls. This is Ali’s gut and obtained information.
Okay, I’m going to take one more step before I fall to the ground from this hanging limb.: this election has already been one of great historical and political significance. It’s predicted that this election will run 1 billion dollars before November of 2008. We have our first top tier woman, African man (he is not Black!), Hispanic, and a series of other weirdos. Campaigns also kicked off earlier than what is the norm.
What’s going on? Will we eventually be in a constant election mode?
Even ‘politypes’ are getting a little tired of the campaign trail. I find myself more and more shifting away from CSPAN and other shows that host Presidential hopefuls.
Hillary and Barack virtually resemble each other. Look at their respective policies and you see a clear difference. Was this planned? I don’t know. Their team up won’t throw me into psycho Conservative mode.
So here’s the big whopper: I predict that Hillary and Barack will run as running mates or recommended optional picks earlier than ever before, setting a new record. Don’t be surprised if it’s even before the primary!
In Lake County, one of the most red counties in Florida, GOP officials are some of the many whom played this issue down. Frankly put: they don’t believe it will happen. Respectfully, I don’t take advice or analyzed data from a county where Republicans are losing ground. Thought: Change your method!
They went on to state that if Hillarack decides to dominate, it would only be the best for the GOP. They conclude that 40% of the nation will not elect a black person or a female as Commander-in-Chief. Okay…so?
Are they simply ignoring 60% of the nation! This is a prime example of how the RNC and GOP’s all around the country are lost. Sure record amounts of hate money will be solicited to battle Hillarack, however doesn’t that only mean that the RNC will break even, if that? Republican donations are down by what?…. 40% or something. Who knows what truth is coming out of that bureaucratic organization?
How many “Sean Hannitys” around the country predicted a strong victory in 2006? Some victory!
Hillarack isn’t something to fear, just something to beat. What would be different if it were Dodd, Gravel, Richardson, or even Edwards? Nothing. Simply nothing. While Conservative pundits are going around acting as though this is the largest threat to ever assimilate - I guarantee that two politicians whose records match up perfectly only makes things easier.
Politics of hate and hype have ended. Republicans lost in 2006. They were stupid losses at that. Look for more surprises this year. Even though you are tired of hearing about every little thing that’s going on with the candidates - just wait. The climax is yet to come. Grab your popcorn and sit back.

MySpace gets a Redesign Finally
Finally MySpace works up enough courage to redesign their homepage. Unfortunately there are many UI and functionality flaws. Besides copying facebook on absolutely everything they can (or try) - must they also half-butt their design?
This is the closing round. I stated a very long time ago that if Romney and Giuliani let McCain survive to Super Tuesday, that would be his day.
There’s a story out about it, so I suppose I can go ahead and confirm it. It’s true. Senator John McCain will be rolling out endorsements over the [...]
Apparently only Republicans care about Florida, since Howard Dean and the DNC decided to take all delegates away from Democratic voters..
Last night’s major loss was probably a surprise to the Romney camp. While McCain had the endorsements from Senator Mel Martinez, which frankly came at no surprise, and Governor Charlie Crist, there were several factors [...]
Growing Scandals in South Carolina
If you thought the political divide in 2000 was rough, check out the latest happenings of the Republican Primary. For those of you who don’t know. South Carolina was won by President George W. Bush during the race for the Republican nomination and stopped Senator John McCain’s momentum when McCain fell victim of the [...]
Senator John McCain in South Carolina
I’ve always had a pleasurable time listening to the McCain articulate his governing strategy and of course a little straight talk. In a blogger’s conference call that seemed dominated by the same Conservative publications that declared his campaign dead several months ago.
The Senator sounded full of energy and unusually excited going to his fourth event [...]
Recently I wrote a piece entitled, “Huckabee, Give Me a Break.” Because of my roots in the theological community, and more specifically the Southern Baptist community, I was aware of the political pulse of the largest evangelical group.
Syndicated Columnist and media guru Robert Novak touched on this point earlier today. He’s always precise and very [...]
We seriously might be the more fickle party of the two. Right when it looks like we might, just might, have a fighting chance we are told to support someone else. Gov. Mike Huckabee is likeable. Sure. So?
Let’s take a look a Huckabee.
As a Conservative he has a troubled record. As a Governor he was [...]
While New York Mayor and business Billionaire, Michael Bloomberg has told about everyone on earth that he has “no intention” of running for President in 2008, there is serious speculation about his bid.
The speculation has plagued my email inbox and sometimes the Internet Radio shows that I’m honored to be a guest on. Actually, I’ll [...]
Recently I wrote an article entitled, A Republican Need. I received an encouraging comment telling me that I sent out a “call to arms.” I was moved and proud.
Now, just one day later I write with the same passion and a greater resolve. I’m calling all to arms!
McCain and I once discussed Internet Taxation and [...]

Been waiting on a post for awhile now! You slacking. What a life outside of myspace? Anyways..
I pretty much agree with you. I think Hillarack should be fear though also. “It” could win and that should be feared.
Jason
ps..I like posting on your myspace better:P

:)

Very interesting indeed. It will be even more interesting to see how it all goes down once we near the primaries.

Nah, I have to think it will be Gore/Obama.
June 18th, 2007 at 10:54 pm
I think your right. But I dont think this country will have that much of a probelm electing a black man, but I do think they will have a problem electing a women (especially Hilliary). I think our best chance will be if Hilliary wins the presidential nomination and Obama comes on as her vice. I believe if we can either get Mccain or Thompson (the only two real opponets. Then I dont think Hillarack will stand a chance.

I think this is the plan, however, I think Hillary needs to act fast. Numbers are a little flat, she needs to do something to generate excitement and I think this will do it. For those that don’t think Hillary will accept, think of the O factor. For those that don’t think Obama will accept, I think it will come in the form of an offer you cannot refuse. We shall see. I do think Gore is planning to jump in. That is why Hillary needs to strike the deal fast.

I’ve been arguing this with Obama supporters for months. I knew when GW flew his daddy, the Clintons and Obama down to raise funds for the Katrina victims. Can you say photo op? These things are planned for well in advance. Note I say planned doesn’t mean it will happen, just means they are trying to make it happen. When I saw that they both raised record funds, I was willing to bet money on this ticket and I don’t gamble. They think it’s an unbeatable ticket because of course every woman and every minority will vote for it. Thank goodness some people are smart enough to look for real substance instead of just buying in to what the media tells them to think.
Glad to see your real site instead of just your myspace.

I agree with Hillarack but you also have to look at Obama fans like Edwards second.Edwards fans like obama second so their could be a Edwards Obama ticket.
