No Election ?

The Sunday Times: Great article on those that follow the USA election in detail! Ask what will they do after November 4 2008. Its simple, the election for 2008 started two years early, thus expect the runners to start to visit Iowa after the Obama Inauguration. Iowa and New Hampshire will be back in the spotlight. Also we have the Mid Terms in 2010 to look forward to, should be a real fight, Obama will be have served for two years, if Taxes go up expect Republicans to retake the House and Senate. November 4th is just end of this cycle, elections, polls, articles about 2012 will start in the new year, if Obama looks like a loser in 2012 will Hillary Clinton run against him aka Ronald Reagan in 1976. 2012 Start here.

USA ATTACKING SYRIA

Fox News: Reports that the USA is attacking targets inside Syria. If true, has Bush decided that Obama is going to win thus he is going to force him to accept the War in Iraq if he likes it not. A cross border attack would need the highest authority at least the Secretary of Defence or the President. This just could be a one off attack, depends what Syria does, well not a lot Syria can do, could this be a October surprise or just a story that will fade away, very interesting development.

Obama as POTUS ?

The Republican National Committee goes after Obama. The Political Ad is quite good, like the choppy waters and how Obama has no record. Very effective but to late folks, so to late. B plus for effort RNC.

McCain WON - Liberal - NIGHTMARE

Newsweek: A what if of history, a McCain win, the Liberal Newsweek would have a fit. If McCain Campaign would put this on their web site and send out through the post, one thing that really annoys Conservative voters is the Liberal Press.

How McCain can Win - Dick Morris

New York Post: Dick Morris; President Clinton's political guru; gives advice to the McCain Campaign. In essence three steps to win over Obama, Obama is a tax hiker, his relationship with racist ex Pastor and that USA would become the 1970s sick man of Europe. These are all excellent ideas but face one problem, its to late, if McCain has come out attacking before the the Democratic Race was over it might have been effective, but he waited to long, plus he does not want to be called a racist, the Jail release Ad still haunts the 88 Campaign of Bush 41. The Republicans should try to make the American voter concerned about a out of control Democratic Congress. Thus the McCain Campaign is finished, its the Congress that the Conservatives should try to keep some influence in, other wise two to four years of another Great Society 11.

The Sunday Poll

The Sunday Poll folks, 26/10/08.

Zogby: As Drudge and Zogby point out in one day polling the 08 race is very close, how many voters lie is a very interesting question, the one day sample of Zogby has the following, Obama 49% - McCain 46%. Is the McCain message on the economy working or have the elite media gone over board, are the voters going to give the Obama Administration all they want, a Democratic President and a powerful Congress. The three day tracking poll for the race has Obama ahead by 5%.

The Obama Transition Part Four

The New York Times: Reports on the transition period between Bush 43 and the next President. The article points out the paths the two candidates have chosen, but lets be honest, its going to be Obama. The Liberal Times reports that Obama is thinking of placing ex Senator Tom Daschle as his Chief of Staff, the Times of London reported that Senators Kerry could be Secretary of State and Senator Clinton would take the Health Post in a Obama Cabinet. If a President Elect Obama goes down this road he will be making the same mistakes that another President did, that being Clinton. The best first term team was the Reagan Team, they pushed the President's Agenda through, it was when the team left in the second term that Reagan had problems, Iran - Contra. A President Obama cant have that many senators around, they all think they should be President, Obama does not have a record lets be honest, is really going argue Foreign Policy with Kerry, Health Policy with Clinton. This is novel idea, what about Bill Clinton for Chief of Staff, allow him to correct the mistakes of his first transition. Also it would make the Clintons happy, also Obama could keep any eye on both of them, lets be honest Obama will be the new rock star, that will ruffle the Clinton feathers. Also if Obama wins re - election the chance of the Clintons going back to the White House are zero. If that is a to bold of move for Obama what about James Baker, Reagan's First Chief of Staff and Treasury Secretary and Secretary of State.
