Super Duper Tuesday.

We are approaching maybe the most important time of this Democratic primary season, where delegate rich states like Texas and Ohio are voting this Tuesday, March 4^th. This is so big it has been dubbed Super Tuesday II. Now many people think that this may be Hillary Clinton’s last stand, as she not only has to win both states to conceivable win the nomination, but she has to win big. And right now attest in Texas it that does not seem to be likely as her huge lead of just a as early of two weeks ago has evaporated as every poll now show Obama with the lead, or slightly behind Sen. Clinton. This is not good for her. Whether you think that the media is apart of this or not, no one can’t deny that Barack Obama has become a phenomenon and sort of a movement all to himself. He’s a guy that wasn’t supposed to win, he was supposed to be here this late in the race. The same Obama “friendly” media, was once the Clinton “friendly” media. It was just as late as December of 2007, that everyone in the media was already to swear in Hillary Clinton as President of the United States, because of course she was supposed to crush all of her competitors without breaking a sweat, because the Clinton Machine was deemed unstoppable. Well its now March of 2008 and Hillary Clinton is crying foul over the media coverage given to Barrack Obama. Wow that amazes me, now no doubt that stations like MSNBC has become sort of a Obama hub, but not too long ago when Obama was fighting a clawing for coverage over Sen. John Edwards, and the other Democrats in the race, MSNBC could’ve easily been renamed the Clinton News Network. So where was this outrage when she was the getting most of the coverage in the news and she was the media darling? Oh I know why, it was because she was the front-runner now. Now there’s a new definitive front runner, receiving the same treatment that she received and she doesn’t like it, I say get over it.

Now on to more Obama talk. Last night was I was out with a friend, at one of out favorite hangouts. He’s a registered Democrat. He says that he will either vote, for Ralph Nader of John McCain, than vote for Barrack Obama in the general election. He was/is for Hillary Clinton, although she’s not his first choice. His reasoning for this is because he doesn’t see Obama as a competent candidate, and don’t think he will be a good president, because of his lack of Foreign policy experience among other things. He also said, which I thought was hilarious, that if Obama doesn’t win the presidency the conditions will be put in place for the first race riot started by White Liberals. I do have to agree with his sentiment that yes there are a lot of whites that are going for Obama, well of course, since African Americans only make up 13 percent of the population in the country, and all of them are not Democrats. I think that people are baffled about Obama, although I think its because no one really researches him, but its also because no one really has an explanation to why so many people are going for Obama right now, and I think right now a lot of White people and Black alike who are not Obama supports are scratching their heads about why Obama gets so mush supports from whites. Sure we know that he’ll get massive support from Blacks, although that wasn’t the case early on. Polls last year showed massive support from Blacks from for the Clintons. I mean Clinton was dubbed the first Black president, but that was until we realized that we could possibly have the real thing. So we can see why Blacks are backing Obama, but why Whites? Many have said it’s because of White guilt, or it because they’re (young Whites/college students) are trying to force themselves to have their own civil rights era. Now one really mentions the fact that maybe they might genuinely favor Sen. Obama over Sen. Clinton. Good Gosh!!! Can you imagine that a White person actually supporting and voting for a Black candidate, because they feel that he’s better for the position than the white counterpart, well that’s just is beyond comprehension, isn’t it? Maybe Obama is just what he says people says he is, a break from that old style politics, the kind of polarizing politics that Clinton is still running with.

In a new television ad, the scenario or a potential terrorist attack coming in 3 in the morning is proposed, long with the question, who would you rather have answer the phone. And at the end of the ad Se. Clinton was shown having a telephone conversation in the oval office. Well in fashion that is consistent with his campaign, Obama stuck back with a ad of his own ( the same day that the Clinton ad aired). With the same proposed scenario, but this time he proposed the idea that its not about who answers the phone, but that judgment in which that person uses. Now isn’t’ this the same fear tactics that the Republicans gets accused for using against the democrats. With the entire mantra of a Democrat president won’t keep America safe. Isn’t the Clinton ad at its core, saying that a she and not Obama out of the two can only keep America safe. Hmmm. It’s something to think about.

Until next time…..Well someone just please pick up the damn phone!!!
