Barack, Can You Run the Anchor Leg and Win?

Bill Clinton ran a great lead-off leg to put the Democrats in the lead. John Kerry ran a strong second leg, and Joe Biden ran a powerful third leg to keep the Dems in the lead.
Now, Barack, can you run an effective, outstanding anchor leg to secure a victory for the Democrats against an old, over the hill runner in John McCain who’s running the anchor leg for the Republicans?

Barack Makes History

Bill Clinton, John Kerry and Joe Biden all gave electrifying, superb speeches in support of the candidacy of Barack Hussein Obama. All of the previous mentioned speakers were able to show contrast between Barack Obama and John McCain and why it is vitally important to elect Obama to the presidency over the cankerous and bombastic John McCain.
Basically, the Clintons stole the show for two days at the Democratic National Convention and now it will be up to Mr. Obama to deliver the best speech of his life with specificity on what (he) is going to do for the ailing, floundering, bankrupt economy and the immoral, misguided, jingoistic foreign policy of the Bush administration.
“Ain’t no stopping us now,
Barack’s in the Groove”!

McCain Works Hard to Keep Barr Off the Ballot In Pennsylvania

Old John McCain and crew are doing everything in their power to deny Bob Barr the opportunity to have his name placed on the ballot in the State of Pennsylvania. Why? Senator McCain claims that he is a true, loyal, compassionate patriot. But Mr. McCain is attempting to restrict and prohibit Mr. Barr from the benefits of participating in our hemorrhaging experiment in democratic governance. Is it because Bob Barr is the only true conservative in the present presidential race, who has a 95% approval rating by every conservative organization in the country, while serving as a distinguished congressman from the Seventh District of Georgia? Mr. Barr had a consistent, conservative voting record in the Congress.
No intelligent conservative would vote for John McCain (McBush) because he is nothing more than a clone of George Bush with all the baggage that comes with the territory. Mr. McCain, why haven’t you invited Mr. Barr to debate you in one of your town hall meetings? What are you afraid of, Mr. McCain------that Mr. Barr would expose you for the hypocritical fraud that you are?

Crispus Attucks Also Had a Dream

“On the evening of March 5, 1770, Crispus Attucks, a runaway slave of
Natick Indian and African ancestors, was the first person to die for the
cause of American freedom”.
Crispus Attucks, a ruffian, gave up his life for freedom in the famous Boston Massacre so that other Americans could enjoy the benefits of freedom from British tyranny that he could only dream of. Indeed Mr. Attucks was a true American patriot who was a descendant of America’s first two victims of White racism: the Native Americans, who had their lands stolen, manipulated and confiscated and the African Americans who were brought to America against their will in chains. Mr. Attucks’ heroic feat was 110 years before the greatest wave of European Immigration which occurred between 1880 and 1922. If visiting Boston, you may want to visit the statute of Crispus Attucks located in the Boston Commons.
Know your history!

Did Hillary Make the Sell?

At last night’s Democratic National Convention meeting, Hillary Clinton mentioned Barack Obama’s name 12 times and mentioned John McCain’s name 12 times. Hillary never addressed the issue as to whether Mr. Obama was ready to be commander-in-chief. How could Hillary say that Mr. Obama was prepared and ready to be commander-in-chief when she viciously vilified Mr. Obama in the primary campaign with brutal negative ads and statements saying he was not remotely qualified or ready to lead. Hillary claimed the only qualifications Obama had was a speech he had given in 2002. Hillary will never give an appearance that she is being contradictory in anything she does. (Remember her explanation of her vote on Iraq). Furthermore, Hillary failed to denounce all the negative campaign ads of John McCain that feature Hillary and one of her supporters.
So, was Hillary’s performance last night all about show and style and very little on substance? Did Hillary make a true, passionate endorsement of Barack Obama? Was Hillary being sincere when she encouraged the audience and
T. V. crowd to solidly support the Democratic ticket in the Fall because of the gross failure of the Bush administration? Was Hillary merely auditioning and positioning herself to possibly make a run for the presidency in 2012?
It remains to be seen if Hillary’s endorsement of Barak Obama is a duplicitous ploy or an honest endeavor or attempt to bring about Democratic Party cohesiveness.

Next Up Is Slick Willie

Bill Clinton still can’t get over the fact that a young, skinny, Black man with a funny sounding name from his rival school Harvard, outsmarted him and his wife to win the Democratic nomination. Bill and Hillary had a faulty game plan for winning the primaries and they were exceptionally arrogant which is the reason they lost. Mr. Obama won eleven small to medium states in a row. That’s where the Clintons lost. And the Clintons’ big state policy failed also with the Democrats’ system of giving Mr. Obama almost the same number of delegate votes as Hillary in such states as Pennsylvania. Mr. Obama lost by 9.4% in Pennsylvania. The Democrat's primary system is in dire need of revision relative to the awarding of delegates to each candidate. In fact, the entire DNC needs a make-over.

Day 1---------Democratic National Convention

They were great remarkable speeches by Michelle Obama and Senator Ted Kennedy. However, some of the other speakers at the Democratic National Convention such as Nancy Pelosi, were dull, boring, bland and uninspiring and lacked substance. None of the speakers demonstrated an acute ability to show contrast between Barack Obama and John McCain. On the first day of the Democratic party, the Democrats should have thrown some big knockout blows at the duplicitous John McCain. Instead, we got a lot of sparring, feeling out and light jabs. You always want to keep your opponent on the defensive and I did not see any effective attempts of a knockout punch. The Democrats act as though they don’t know what they are up against in the vile Republican attack machine.
Is Hillary Clinton going to be a party pooper or the life of the party? Or will old Hillary put on a good show and give an appearance that she wholeheartedly supports the historic candidacy of Barack Obama? Indeed Senator Clinton has to make a compelling argument to all her supporters on why they should support and vote for Mr. Obama. But in the final analysis, Mr. Obama has to bring the bacon home and convince those Hillary voters and others that he is the person to drive the wagon for the next four years.
Are the Clintons party poopers or are they party unifiers? The jury is still out on Hillary and Bill!
