Nevada Polls

After New Hampshire I am weary of Democratic Polls, RealClearPolitics has all the major polls for Nevada, in all Clinton has lead par one. I think and this is not a prediction that Senator Hillary Clinton should win Nevada, it might be in the high single digits. The problem the turn out for the Caucus could go from nine thousand in 2004 to a hundred thousand. On the other hand Obama has a major Union backing, thus they will want to show that if they support a candidate they can get the votes, so Obama should should get a good vote, but it has to be noted that African - Americans are not the majority ethnic vote in Nevada Caucus. Thus I think and stress think not prediction that Clinton will win in Nevada by a narrow margin. Thus on to South Carolina.

Dirty Pool in Las Vegas ?

Fox News: Looks at reports that the Union supporting Obama in Nevada is using strong arm tactics to gain votes for Obama. If this dirty pool was for Clinton would we be hearing this story!

Ronald Reagan TODAY

RCP: The best article of the day, looks at the Gipper in context, one of the greatest Presidents in American History, but not perfect, JFK was also great but not perfect as we all know. As kind readers of the blog know I set Reagan as the gold standard for a President and a Politician, but he was not perfect. Reagan was always looking forward to that " Shinning City on the Hill " that is the USA. Reagan looked to the past to set the future, the present candidates can evoke his name but never be him, there was only one Reagan for USA history as only one Thatcher in the UK. The Republican candidates have to inspire, you wont agree with all their policy views that is not the point you have to trust them and like them, Obama has that, wish he was a Republican.

Clinton Afraid of Nevada Result

The Clinton Machine is very afraid that they could lose Nevada. Here is Bill Clinton in full SPIN MODE. Typical of the Clinton Machine when the rules work for them they are ok but if the rules work for Obama its wrong. I hope the African American community take note of this in S.C and vote for Obama.

Obama another Reagan ?





The Politico: Interesting video on Politico, Obama compares himself to Ronald Reagan as in the creation of a movement, and how Nixon and Clinton failed to create a legacy after they left office. Bill Clinton will go through the roof, VIEWS recalls reading that Clinton hated that Reagan the Teflon President got away in his mind with some bad polices but Clinton got a Special Prosecutor if he didn't salute in the right way. Not that VIEWS is a cynic but one has to wonder if the Clinton Machine is behind this, Nevada coming up, do they want to make the base mistrust Obama thus this video. VIEWS is a cynical SOB when it comes to politics.
