Oh Carolina

Well its a long time since my last entry, so lets jump right into it. Last night Barack Obama won the South Carolina primary as expected. So right now in terms of wins its two a piece for Clinton and Obama, and nothing for Mr. I have no shot at this point, but I'm going to stay in the race because I can dammit, John Edwards. Don't get me wrong I like Edwards he's my favorite candidate out of the whole lot, but right now coming now he's pretty much done, so please John do yourself a favor and dropout, because there will be no magical comeback for you, its just not in the cards for you. No back to South Carolina. Of course Obama won there big over Hilliary Clinton because of the white vote but I don't think that's the only reason to why he won. So much is made out the Black vote when it comes to Obama, but this is the same guy who won the Iowa Caucus and loss close primaries in New Hampshire and Nevada. Now Iowa and New Hampshire aren't really hotbeds for African Americans, so there have to be some white people voting for him right? He's not just the "Black candidate" that Bill Clinton is trying to paint him out to be. Oh what you didn't hear about it. Well its only fitting the mad dubbed the "First Black Presidents" injects race into this race. Billy while giving his wife's reaction speech to the results in South Carolina ( Hey wait, who's running for President now, him or her?) he commented on Obama's win by saying that Jessie Jackson also won South Carolina. Yes he did Bill but four years ago so did John Edwards, so why not bring up his name instead...hmmm it really makes you wonder what kind of statement Clinton was trying to make.

Also the other big news of the week is the death of actor heath Ledger. Now I don't know if he committed suicide or not, but it takes a lot of sleeping pills to die on accident. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but it sound pretty fishy to me, and what about the masseuse who called Mary- Kate Olsen when he was reportedly still alive instead of calling 911, to me she just may have well let him die. So I don't know if his death was a suicide but if it was then Mr. Ledger is nothing more than a coward. A coward who didn't care enough for his two year old daughter to stay alive to raise her. I don't know maybe I'm old fashion, but when you have a child aren't you supposed to change your life because you're not just living for yourself, but for the well being of another person as well? I don't know maybe the world has changed and it has passed me by, or maybe people like Heath Ledger ( allegedly ) don't care care enough about their world to stay around and help shape it.

Till next time..... try to get some shut eye!!!!!

Iwoa? That's What All the Excitment is About????

Tonight is start of the Presidential primaries, as the Iowa Caucuses are underway. And depending on what poll you believe either Obama, Clinton, and Edwards are all on top for the Democrats and Huckabee and Romney are on top for the Republicans. I say who the fuck knows!!! I watch CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC and they bring on their own contracted analyst which all say something different. One analyst says that polls in the early primary states doesn't matter and that its all about the national polls which reflect major differences from the early primary states. For example when you look at the national polls Guliani is the Republican front runner, but in Iowa and New Hampshire, Huckabee and Romney are locked in a dead heat, and Rudy isn't even on the radar. The on the same show another analyst says that its all about the primaries like Iowa and New Hampshire because they shape the trends going into future states Then today I heard that its very rare that a nominee doesn't win either Iowa or New Hampshire or both, but if my memory serves me well former president Bill Clinton, although I may be wrong. I don't know, I guess I'm in Iowa overload!!!

I'm told that Fred Thompson will drop out of the race, and now there's talk of John Edwards dropping out if he finishes and predictable third. And what about John McCain? Can he survive?!! Will he survive?!!!. If he doesn't win Iowa will he just disappear? And I don't mean like become a recluse, but just cease to exist? I mean these guys are just here for our entertainment right? With all of the attack ads, all of the empty promises. I mean we only take them serious if they get elected, and even then, well you get. But I play along, although I don't have a lead horse in the race, I'll get out there and vote for my candidate in the general election in November. Even though, I have no party affiliations I'll most likely vote for the Democratic nominee ( although I've made up my mind about not voting for Hillary, and no its not because she's a woman) unless there's a Republican candidate I can get behind or even a third party candidate, can you imagine that??? No you can't so don't try. So tonight starts off the 2008 election and I only have one question for you....Are you ready for some voting!!!

Until next time.... Please don't be immature and spell caucuses with an O !!!!!
