Barack Obama's connection to historical Democrats
I have a special interest in history, so I tend to try and find parallels with our candidates for president and candidates of the past. This has lead me to Obama's appeal, in previous post I have made the fallacy of looking at his politics. His typical northeastern democrat politics, only to state the obvious he is from a "Midwestern state". When the Democrats have won elections since the 1960's they have won with a combination of one or two things. One and most important I believe is a candidate that sends out positive vibes, in their liberalism they see hope for America's future like John F Kennedy. They also have a down to earth appeal as I am sure we all would agree JFK despite his credentials was a down to earth guy. So the personality is a positive outlook from a down to earth guy. The other factor that has helped Democrats is coming from a southern state. This helps to shake the elitist image the Democrats have gotten since their move to the social left. lets take a look at the successful and unsuccessful democratic candidates since the 1960's when the party started its move to the left.
John F Kennedy- Senator Massachusetts, won election of 1960
Lyndon B Johnson - Vice President and before that Senator from Texas, won election of 1964
Hubert H Humphrey- Vice President and before that Senator from Minnesota, lost election of 1968
George Mcgovern- congressmen from South Dakota, anti-war social liberal, lost election of 1972
Jimmy Carter- Governor of Georgia, one of our worst Presidents, won election of 1976
Carter after a horrible term as president loses election to Ronald Reagan.
Walter Mondale- Vice President of Carter before that Senator from Minnesota, lost election of 1984
Michael Dukakis- Governor of Massachusetts, lost election of 1988
Bill Clinton- Governor of Arkansas, won 1992,1996
Al Gore- Here is one that loses in spite of being from Tennessee and serving as a Vice President for a popular President. However Gore's liberal politics and the fact that he was actually raised in Washington, DC discredited his candidacy.lost election of 2000
John Kerry, Senator from Massachusetts, lost election of 2004
Now if Barack drags in the mud gets a stigma from being liberal and lying, he loses. If he can admit his lies and explain why even though he votes like a liberal he is a moderate he stands a chance. What I mean by dragging in the mud is .... his typical negative politics that he claims to be against. His accepting the DNC's ad which perverts John Mccain's statement about 100 years in Iraq. If he can move past that and present a candidate that is a moderate liberal with a positive vision of America past, present and future I believe he can win. I personally do not want to see him win, but it is his for the taking.

Clinton and the New Democrats.
My thoughts on Clinton...
She has toned down the vast right wing conspiracy talk and become a mature, but dangerously liberal politician. She could possibly make a good president as I know she would not allow the media to do to her what they have done to George W Bush. I am not about to start defending President Bush, however he seemed to be intimidated by the media elite. I thought nominating John Kerry would be the last liberal elitist presidential candidate for a while. In a sense I was right atleast for this election, only because of the version of Hillary we have seen has been the uplifting small town mother, as opposed to the left-wing paranoid conspiracy theorist. Obama with his San Fransisco comments proved he is nothing more than an elitist snob. If he were from the Northeast he would fit the exact mode of the candidate the DNC loves. however some of the bland elitist they have nominated have come from outside the Northeast. So with Hillary I guess you could say we have a winnable Democrat and with Obama we might as well have Barack Mondale.

Big endorsement for Hillary

Hillary has really carved her niche out with this primary. She has been transformed into the heroine of the middle class American. Interesting stuff

Article from Fox News shows Obama is shaky
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/05/02/polls-show-obama-struggling-to-close-the-deal/
A polling stat which I find shows the intelligence of the American people, is 58% believe Obama is denouncing Wright for political gain. If Obama cannot win NC convincingly and loses Indiana it is up to the Super Delegates. My personal belief as a Republican is that Obama should have sat this election out. He could have spent four or eight years getting more experience and developing more relationships with the higher up Democrats who will decide the nomination. He could have distances himself from Wright. He could have truly become a moderate and worked on bipartisan legislation. Instead he rushed into the presidential campaign. But since Hillary feels the nomination is her birth right these two are going to fight it out to the bitter end.

Obama lies about Nafta, but to whom was he lying?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LtbLEKHsi0 was he lying to Canada or Americans? The only way to find out would be to elect him, here is to not finding out.
North Carolina
is tightening up. http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/poll_2008_north_carolina/2008/05/01/92546.html
If Hillary somehow won North Carolina one would have to wonder if Obama has lost his luster. The fact of the matter is simple, Obama is a charismatic uplifting man. However when the political pressure has been put on him he has folded. What I mean by folded is he has abandoned his principals. He lied about Rev. Wright and said the could not abandon him, just as he could not abandon the Black community. I believe it is fitting Oprah endorsed Obama. Obama is somewhat of a male Oprah. People love him not so much for his substance as much as for his style. If you look at the fact that he has no bi-partisan record, and is the most liberal Senator, once he loses his style appeal he is simply another Dukakis, McGovern, Kerry,Gore, even Carter. Simply the Democrats refuse to nominate people with southern appeal, save Carter and that is a story for another time. Clinton a Southern Governor and Carter a Southern Governor are the last two Democratic elected Presidents for a reason. All this to say things are tightening up in North Carolina and no Democrat can be excited about that.

Barack Obama is taking the superdelegate lead.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080430/D90CFUG03.html if he were to get the lead it would be time for Hillary to bow out.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/04/30/shell.qa/index.html this interview is worth a read. We need to look at anything we can do to drive down the cost of oil, also creating jobs at home. This has nothing to do with Obama I know.
Barack Obama
seems to be the ultimate oppurtunist. I assume he has defeated Hillary, so it will be interesting to see how dirty this campaign gets. Obama has already shown his willingness to lie. Will Mccain allow this? I know the gop is trying to get the "100 year" ad pulled. I think Obama may have more of a lying problem than even Al Gore.
interesting story.
http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/Obama_Donor_state_grant/2008/04/30/92234.html I realize this is on a small scale, but it is important we hold our elected officials accountable.
Obama
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H64yKJhB528 Obama lying,lying,lying. When Wright hung him out to dry politically now he is angered at Wright.
I have learned something.

interesting poll numbers. Clinton(whom this blog has no adoration) has moved up to a tie with Obama with national democrats. The most interesting number is that she is doing better against Senator Mccain.
