What I'm feeling right now



This is what Obama represents. This is what his war cry should be about. This is the change he is referring to.

Election Update


McCain has secured is bid for the GOP. He is already starting to campaign against Obama. The GOP will unite against Hillary, but will fracture in an election against Barack. His strategists have already identified this and begun acting accordingly.

Hillary must win Texas and Ohio in order to continue. Obama has dominated the Midwest and Ohio will probably be no different. I think that Texas would rather not vote for a girl or a black guy. But since their god holds a football and bruthas have lead them to the promise land on the field, they will vote for Obama.

Now what?


Super Tuesday is over and the dust is starting to settle. The results are interesting but as expected. The biggest surprise on the Republican side is the fact that Huckabee won quite a few more states than the zero predicted for him. This happened because some of the evangelicals decided to vote according to their faith and Huckabee is the only Christian. The GOP vote is a winner take all format, so winning those states hamstrung Romney. Huckabee stole more of Romney's votes than McCain's and put the latter on the stage of victory. Honestly, McCain's my man. I have figured out why. He is a liberal conservative such as myself as mentioned in the Black Republican article from before.

Clinton and Obama are basically tied. Hillary won the larger and coastal states, while Barack's vote came from the smaller middle states. The story can be spun many ways stating both sides claimed victory. Using football philosophies, it would seem that the longer Obama is in the race, the greater chance for victory. This is true for all underdogs. A sense in hope can generate within the perceived lesser that is many times more powerful than the greater. Obama is the underdog in this situation. I'm waiting for the Al Gore hammer to drop.

I Got a Poll that you can Survey





Hillary's teary eyed moment did not spell doom for the Clinton campaign. This makes for a more spicy future in terms of the election. It would have been boring if Obama were to run away with such as the polls were stating. Polls and surveys are interesting and entertaining, but never accurate when dealing with humans. People, unlike damn near everything else, can change their mind. In politics, the polls can only be 50% accurate because something could happen between the poll and the actual vote which may cause the voter to go the other way. A brilliant man once said this about data and surveys, "Polls and Surveys are like a bikini, what they reveal is interesting, but what they cover up is vital". Meaning that data can be used to create any story, even when the story is not the truth.

Tiger Woods should be lynched?


That is exactly what the Golf Channel anchor said. I don't care what the context is, that is racist. It may be subconscious and she may have black friends but that was racial. CNN told me all day yesterday that America's race issues were resolved because Iowa voted for Obama. I guess they were wrong(I'm being sarcastic here people). The media should stop trying to tell black people that everything is all fair and equal. It is not, and it probably will never be. You know why? Because African Americans missed out on wealth opportunities. We can get rich, but few of us are wealthy. That is what slavery did. It disenfranchised African Americans and removed the concept of inheritance(number 1 wealth generator). Few people have ever discussed the impact that slavery had on wealth and its long term affects. I don't think they are tolerant and intelligent enough to actually investigate the issue properly. There are too many pent up emotions to study this objectively.

Barack and Gore




That is a good ticket right there. Barack Obama for President and Al Gore as his Vice President! Barack Obama should see if Al Gore is down for a encore performance as VP. They would make the best combination.
