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.

Super Fat Tuesday

Today is the most important day politically in quite a long time.
The outcome of today's vote actually mean something and the world can be impacted.

Today is also Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday, meaning the biggest party in the country is taking place in New Orleans. Mardi Gras is important because it's part of the healing process. The ghost of Katrina still impacts the city and the power of Mardi Gras and the Jazz Festival is the only thing that can repel her.

Basically almost one half of the delegates are available in today's election, with California leading the way in terms of total delegates. Today can decide who are next president will be. Obama gives the most hope, while Hillary lend stability. I guess the same thing can be said about Romney and McCain respectively.

Presidential (aka Obama) update

As stated here previously, Obama's newly found black support propelled him to victory in South Carolina. This just pretty much put an end to Edward's campaign. To get badly beaten in his home state means that he will probably get destroyed on road.

Hillary still has the lead if you include pledges from superdelegates like democratic senators, governors, representatives, mayors, and people such as that. I am not sure, but I think those votes are mostly band wagon votes that are not set in stone.

People like to be a part of something special and claim that they did something positive. Voting for Obama may become the "cool thing to do". The key here will be Bill Clinton. He always attacks Obama and then gives a compliment.

The reason why is because Clinton will need Obama's help if Hillary were to lose. Even though he is attacking he must leave a window of partnership open with Barack. If Hillary starts to get beaten or attacks fiercely, Bill is going to have to distance himself from her a little. A very little! Al Gore is going to throw in a monkey wrench some how.

You heard it here first

Our purpose here many times is to explain the truth. Explanation is needed because telling it is simply not enough. Truth persuasion is needed to remove all preconceived notions.

There are two major articles addressing what we discussed HERE! regarding how the African American vote is split between Hillary and Barack. As you can see, BLOOMBERG was in agreement with the OurW Obama philosophy.

The key is this. Black political figures have been tied to Hillary because they thought she was a lock to win. Political figures have to follow the winner because they will need favors once they get elected. If they oppose the winner early on, the newly elected President will not help them later.

They have been bound to Hillary for this reason. If Obama generates enough momentum they will swing his direction which will shift some of the black vote as well. We'll have to watch it play out.

Every breath you take

Have you watched CNN lately? They have changed their format. I think the blogs have changed the way big media reports the news. At first the impact was only felt by web based news, but it now seems like the television news is reporting the same sensationalized way as the web. The problem is that they are not natural and remind one of their old relative trying to dance to a modern song(like Norv yesterday).

They are making such a big deal about Iowa that it's annoying. Hilary didn't cry. She got a little emotional but it was good thing and not something to blow out or proportion. The media is trying to paint a picture that she is desperate and are trying to betray an misstep that she makes. Based upon CNN, all of America's race problems are solved because Iowa has voted for Obama. Obama is half white and non African American. If America can't find something in common with him, they are stupid.
