Senator Stuart Smiley!?

I remember the first time I read about liberals and conservatives. I remember what book I read it in. I of course, remember the name of the author who wrote that book. This book is what turned me onto politics, gave me the urge to understand more about what was going on in our countries government. The book was "Lies and the lieing liars who tell them." by Al Franken. Probably not the best book as an introduction into politics, but it worked. It is openly liberal, which of course influenced how I viewed republicans versus democrats. But I agreed with nearly all the liberal ideals that I found inside and outside of this book. And many of the those I still do, Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot, Bill O'Reilly is a giant dueschbag, Ann Coulter, might be an alien, and if not she is certainly mental.

This of course is coming from Mr. Frankens bid for Minnesota state senator, which he will probably win. Following in the footsteps of other great entertainers turned politicians (Arnie in Cali) though for the most part bad politcians ( Ventura was wondeful in Predator but horrible in Minnesota, Regan sucked on camera, in Cali and in Washington). I do feel that Franken is very well versued in politics, but maybe not so much in law and governing, but hey look where that got Little Bush!!

Give or take a few votes.

As I sit in my room save from the cold, harsh temperatures outside in SD, I try to find comfort in my comfort zone, on my couch. I flip through channels while pittling around on my laptop, the brightest noise or loudest color grabbing all of my attention. It could be the Britney Spears most reccent accent, or monster trucks, but no, no its not. It's the idiots of the media, those idols of mine that I embraced so much as a journalist major. It seems every week there is a new front runner for the RNC and the DNC, Barraks back on top this week for the Dems. while Huckabee...haha...yes Mr. Huckabee is stealing McCains thunder.

Articles about how Obamas recent victories in Maine, Washington, Kansas and Lousiana have put Clinton in the corner, in dire need of victories apparently the pundits are saying she must win Texas and Ohio to stay in the race. This, this entire thing, is a popularity contest, they are only looking to who wins the most states, not which states they are winning. Winning Texas always looks good as it holds the second most electoral votes but also a very difficult state for democrats to win so you can not bank on that one giving Obama any help. Ohio could go either way, both candidates home state is only one state over so their influence could play equaly as strong.

Lets pretend Obama recieved the nod from the DNC. Those before mentioned wins (Maine,Washington,Kansas,Lousiana) add up to 29 electoral votes. But we can take out Kansas and Lousiana, Kanasa a republican stronghold and the biggest victims of Katrina, poor, black people living in the inner city of New Orleans. The biggest victims have not and might not return to Lousiana, leaving behind a large republican base for the Elephants to stampede through.

Now with all the states BO has won, and for fun we will give him Ohio, he has around 180 electoral votes to date. Then we go back and subtract the states we know he's not going to pull ( Idaho, Utah, North Dakota, and Alabama, Alaska) he loses around 70, brining him around 100. Clinton will not win those states either though, but she has won California in the primaries, and Flordia was being naughty and didn't have a primary, but did vote infavor of Clinton for show. Thats over 80, plus 84 others shes won, equals 164 and around 53 electoral votes have not been counted from states who have yet to hold primaries.

And after all that math, all that research all that bullshit. It doesn't matter because John McCain is going to win. I'm a John fan, John Edwards, but I am not an idiot. Democrats are running each other down, by election time McCain's just going to step in and push over the candidate.

I do hope I'm wrong!!

Down go the Dems.

My blog previous to this concerned Republican Presidential nominee John McCains alliance with moderate conservatives and how this would strengthen his bid for the whitehouse. Following "Super Tuesdays" results i've only drawn one conclusion, the republican party is going to unite and form while the deomcratic party seperates and bickers.

Senator Obama winning more states than Senator Clinton, which gave him more delegates, but delegates in realativley useless states to a democrat. Clinton won New York and California, the DNC will definatly want the candidate than can pick up these two large states no matter how well the republican fared here. Obama took Alaska, North Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Idaho, Alabama. The last time the big northern state of AK voted for a democratic president, 1964, the same year that SD supported it's last democrat for oval office. Minnesota is consider a swing state, Alabama voted for Bush 43 in 2000 and 2004. Only four Dems. have ever won our Dakota brother, the last being...you guessed it LBJ, also the last time Idaho supported a Dem for president, and for the sake of saying it, democrats last go-round in Kansas was LBJ.

So all the hoopla about how great Obama did, is just that pla, crap, junk. The DNC will not choose him if he only wins democratic votes in republican states. They need big wins in big states, which Clinton is delivering.

Now whats this going to lead to, August. Yes it leads to a month, the month that the DNC will choose who gets to run for the Democratic party. While O and C ar fighting it out with eachother, annoying everyone and driving moderates away from their voice and their face McCain will be their with open arms and no opponets. Face plastered under a "For President" months before the Dems even know whos going to be running under the flag of the ass, their ass, losing ass.

It has been 16 years since the blockbuster sequel Terminator 2 was released, yet with California Govenor Arnold Schwarzenger officially supporting GOP hopeful John McCain, I feel like my liberal ideals are going to get their ass beat like the T1000! McCain is receiving tons of support from moderate conservatives, which could easily swing many moderates and not-so-far-to-the-left liberals to vote for him. Arnie is pretty loved in California, the worlds 8th largest economy, and I feel that many people will follow his lead, which could give McCain a huge boost, winning California is equal to Senator Clinton taking her home state of New York. When I think of the liberal ideals of Hollywood or the laid back life of Cali it's hard to really believe that they would support a man who won his post by winning less than 20% of the vote knocking out incumbent Gray Davis, who was elected by over 50%. But Conan the Governor is on such a roll in that state that I often believe the people would secede from the Union if he told them too. This along with Rudy giving his liberal (I know he was running for the republican party but 3 times divorced, pro-gay rights, supports immigration, hes liberal!) support is huge for McCain. Sure McCain is alienating the far right, but why not!? He is still anti-gay, anti-abortion, and a war hero, this election is going to be won by the person that swings the moderates and that pulls a few fans from the opposing team, and I fear The End of Days is near with McCains new Running Man!
