Pelosi's Song

Collapse of the Democrats

I was talking to a colleague of mine today and we both couldn't escape the fact that the Democrats may be in big trouble. Riding the high tide of Bill Clinton in 2000, they should have won by a land slide. In 2004 they lose to a president with the worst approval rating ever. Now it looked like a landslide for them in '08, but look what has happened. If they lose this year I think it would be hard to recover. The Republican candidate lost the Republican nomination every try until now. McCain is in some ways a candidate by default and the Dems still might find a way to lose. These are my thoughts and I welcome yours...

Wow

Well, the conventions are over, the speeches have been made. The Democrats are united and excited. The Republicans are focused and feeling change. Now, the race for the presidency hits high gear. After the Democratic convention it seemed like the "rock star" was going to walk away with the election. After all America has been begging for change and who talks more about change than Mr. Obama.
Then came the announcement of Sarah Palin, as McCain's running mate and her electrifying speech at the Republican convention. McCain is often called the maverick, but Palin seems to be the true "wild card." I don't know about anyone else, but i went out and bought the respective candidates books. It is one thing to learn about them from sound bites on TV, but for me I think I will learn more reading the books they wrote before they were campaigning for President. These are my opinions and I certainly look forward to hearing yours.....

It’s the economy…

As I read through the news of the election and what is happening in both camps, today there seems to be a leaning toward Obama because of the economy. For me it is a lot simpler than most have made it seem. The election is going to comes down to whether you believe the “Free Market’ will fix the economy, or do we need the government to step in and create more regulation and exert more control. Voters will be balancing their wishes in regards to a their desired outcome in Iraq, with how they are being affected by the economy.

Believe it or not some people are better off now then they were a couple of years ago. They either work in a growing industry, live in a growing community, or are the best at what they do. Look at major league ballparks this summer. There doesn’t seem to be any drop off in attendance. These are the same folks, however, who may to be busy to actually be involved in any of the polls.

Something to think about…
