Tonight I watch the Dem. Portion of the New Hampshire debates. I wish I could have seen the entire debate but I was at work and the grocery store for the Republican portion of the debate. (Darn!)
Ok, Seriously I saw a portion, well the end of the debate. I was amused to say the least. Hillary almost had a cow on stage because Edwards defended Obama and called her out. (I can't believe Edwards co-signed with Obama!) So she felt compelled to call everyone else on on their voting history, promises made on the campaign trail, etc. My first thought was " Damn Hillary, calm down... its not that bad." Then I thought well I would defend myself too. Though I don't agree with her argument that she has been an instrument of change for 35 years.. Uhm she is only 60.. wait a minute..Hillary is pushing it! No wonder she looks so worn Anyway, so you have 35 years of being an instrument of change, really what did YOU do? 8 of the years she was "changing the nation" was while Bill was in office. So technically her husband did the work. Hillary just co-signed. I mean she may have been influential but without Bill she would've just another lawyer. I'm not knocking Hillary, I actually like some of the ideas she has..just some, not all. She is powerful, convincing, strong, smart, but calculating, divisive and she gives me a bad vibe. If she won the nomination I don't even know if i would vote for her. I might have to lean towards the GOP depending on the candidate. My dad would flip if he read this..lol.. So other than that she 7 years in the Senate. Whoo hoo.. you authored some bills, served on some committees. 7 years in an elected office + 8 years in the office of 1st wifey. thats 15...where's the other 20? What did YOU do before the White House Hil? Did you really do anything as the Governor's wife? If so, what? Let me get off of Hillary before she has another cow. lol. I will revisit my issues with her another time.
Random Election 2008 Facts
Not that age really matters when considering whether someone is right for the office of the President, but I thought I would just drop knowledge on some people.
So I don't have time to do all the candidates so I'll do the top 4 from each party based on the ABC's rules.
Republicans
Rudy Guliani- 63
Mike Huckabee- 52
John McCain- 71
Mitt Romney- 60
Democrats
Hillary Clinton- 60
John Edwards- 54
Barack Obama- 46
Bill Richardson- 60
Just a thought: "Damn... these candidates are OLD!...Especially Mr. McCain... (not saying he's to old to serve but damn...71? Come on sir.. LOL Until next time...

Man... It was poppin off in Iowa!
So basically it was poppin' off in Iowa last night and Obama and Huckabee came out on top. I wanted Obama to win but I guess I'll admit that I was shocked and surprised to see that he won the D-Caucus. I guess I really did not have as much faith in him as I thought but nevertheless I am so happy he won Iowa.
I'm so interested in this Presidential Race that I even took the time to research how the Iowa Caucus works. It's quite interesting and I wish I could have been there to watch. The people of Iowa seemed so moved by his message. Reading some of the comments and looking at the pictures taken inside some of the precincts almost made me cry.
We are about to witness something historical. Obama motivates parts of the electorate that were dead. A lady who hasn't voted in 20 yrs registered to vote on her 114th birthday. I don't know if she will vote for Obama but something about this race has inspired her to register to vote. I still don't know if I'm voting for him. I just haven't made up my mind. I don't know who else I would vote for. It damn for sure won't be Hillary. I like her but she is just too calculating and power hungry. I can see it in her eyes! lol....
People say Obama is doesn't have foreign policy experience, he is young, he won't be respected by foreign leaders etc. I say shake it up! Bush was an idiot. Clinton didn't have foreign policy experience he was a governor. Bush and Clinton surrounded themselves with people who did have the knowledge they lacked. Condi Rice is a Foreign policy genius ( I don't agree with her but you can't deny someone their genius). She has been on her game for a long time. Bush surrounded himself with the people he thought were the best of the best. Obama, Clinton, Huckabee, McCain...whoever wins will do the same. Those people get paid big money to advise, inform, and damn near make the decisions for the President.
So get off of the inexperienced soap box. Stop looking at what past presidents did and decide what you want to see in your future president. The polls say people want a President committed to change. In Iowa the agent of change looks like Obama.. and for the GOP it looks like people are feeling Huckabee. Wonder what New Hampshire is going to look like. I can't wait for 1/8/08.
