Remember the Democrat Primary when Barama wuz takin’ state after state ‘n the pundits 'n party bosses were all telling Hillary to lie down ‘cuz she wuz dead already....’n sumhow, as a dead woman walking, she managed to win more of the popular vote than the new Messiah.....’Course it didn’t really matter to the power brokers who had already annointed Barama...
Well, the Annointed One made his triumphal tour ‘n was widely acclaimed all over Europe....he may have been a little premature as he ain’t been elected yet and Europeans don’t really get to vote over here in the colonies...
Millyrose ‘n I got in the habit of watching Tim Russert ‘n ‘Meet the Press’ every Sunday....I always liked Tom Brokaw but he ain’t as tough as Russert, at least so far, ‘n he did a puff-piece with Obama this mornin’....Barry looked and sounded as smooth as always but all his foto ops and sound bites remind me of the satirical ‘Wag the dog’ movie. Brokaw ‘n the rest of the anchors should be careful...NBC’s losing credibility faster than Major Leaguer on steroids......
I remember ‘Chris in the Morning’ from Northern Exposure and how articulate he was...and then I recall John Corbett, the actor who portrayed him being interviewed on a talk show, seemingly unable to put more than two words together at a time, let alone formulate an entire sentence. I don’t believe Corbett is dumb anymore than I believe Obama to be dumb....I just think both of ‘em come off better when they have good scriptwriters....
And on that proverbial ‘other hand’.....John McCain reads a teleprompter like a bashful third grader and should have taken acting lessons long ago....What’s ‘er name Fonda could have helped him if she hadn’t been otherwise involved.....Of course, McCain unscripted, as he was on Stephenopolis this Sunday, is a horse of another color (if I c'n say that without sounding racist.)
Well, y'know...I don't really care if it sounds racist or not...
I’ve been enjoying all the speculation about who is gonna be the Veep...and all the reasons that the pundits come up with...’n that’s for both sides.....there seems to be almost universal agreement that the election depends on certain ‘key’ states....Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia.....Ted Strickland, (he’s the Scioto County boy who is Governor of Ohio) sez that Ohio is important in the coming election becuz it’s got eleven and a half million people...Wow! Imagine that!
If you took a couple small towns out of the equation, the Bay Area in California might shrink to that size....and nobody pays attention to them becuz El Lay is so much larger and has so much more political clout...
California is so large and so diverse that it really shouldn’t be a winner take all state.....if the size and population of California were really in play, all the candidates would have to spend a lot more time and money here....
I think California (the land of fruits ‘n nutz)... is in danger of becoming the Rodney Dangerfield of politics while Florida (the sunshine state) is almost as important as......well, lemmee see....they’re ahead of Kentucky ‘n Tennessee but behind Ohio....still, their hanging chads managed to elect George Bush as President...that’s more’n you c’n say about California....
California, New York and Texas are so large with so many people, you’d think they’d have more impact on a national election......just think of the money and time spent on Kansas, f’r example....and Kansas has about the population of Sacramento county which has absolutely no impact at all, at all.....
