Bloomberg Effect on 08 Election

New York Times: One gets the feeling from reading this article that the Liberal New York Times is very afraid that Mayor Bloomberg will run for President. Bloomberg is a billionaire he could buy the New York Times in his sleep!! Liberals are scared and for good reason, if he ran the general view is that he would hurt the Democratic Candidate and thus help the Republicans. Run Bloomberg Run.

Civil Rights and the Clinton Machine

New York Times: Interesting article that's shows how much of the Establishment candidate the Clinton Machine has become, the NYT point out an interview given by Hillary Clinton as an example of how experience is more important that hope, in this case LBJ v the role of Martin Luther King. It was the Civil Rights movement that was the fire for change, the skills of LBJ with the help of Republicans got new laws on to the books, but it was MLK and his hope of a better future of African Americans that got equal rights for African Americans, reality, the master skills of LBJ needed the hope of Dr King. If Clinton does not understand that she could lose all the good gained by her husband within the African American community.

Republican Debate - S.C

As the Republican debate was not on till 2am UK time, it has given VIEWS time to think about who won and who lost. I would say from thinking about the debate, McCain kept the surge from New Hampshire. Huckabee will have played well with the Christian vote, he can quote the bible without sounding like a bible basher. The surprise of the night was Fred Thompson, he was on top form, the Fox Review of Voters had him winning but doubts if he could win, there was the opinion if he had acted like this from the start the race would have been different on the Republican side. On the negative side, Ron Paul is in the wrong party, Giuliani was okay not great but not bad either, wont have hurt himself in Florida. Lets to get to the great phony Mitt Romney, sorry not a good night, even a phony can have nights when he is not a good second hand car salesman.

Kerry Supports Obama

Washington Post: Today Senator John Kerry endorsed Senator Obama, so far after losing New Hampshire, the Senator has gained Union support in Nevada the next fight in the race and gained the support of the Democratic Nominee in 2004. I was surprised Kerry endorsed Obama so early then I put my cynic hat on. The Clinton relationship of Hillary and Bill recalls that of JFK and RFK. At the end of the day the chief adviser to JFK was RFK, not the Vice -President or the Secretary of State. If Clinton was to win, what would be the point of being Vice - President, Bill would have the final word, snap with State. If your Kerry who do you want as President, someone who might appoint you to State but more important will listen to your advice. Or someone who sees you as a failure and does not ask your advice at all on important matters. Would any one of high caliber really take the Vice - Presidency or State if Clinton was President. It can be argued that either job would not be worth a cold cup of tea!!.
