It is fascinating to me what exactly is happening . We are witnessing a young black man with a name that sounds like a terrorist. A man with little political experience. A man who is new to Washington, defeat one of the most famous women on the planet. A woman with deep entrenched roots and ties in our political system. A woman who came from one of the most popular ex presidents in US history. And a woman who was all but guaranteed the nomination from her party at the start of this election. And yet she lost. Pretty fucking amazing.
Well last night was quite the surprise. Obama crushed Clinton buy 16 points in NC and almost beats here in Indiana. She ended up winning by less than 2 percentage points.
Then shockingly Keith Olberman of MSNBC asked Tim Russert (Meat the Press), "Is this race over", Russert paused for a short second and simply replied, "Yes".
A few moments as they sat side by side, co-anchors of the election coverage, Keith Olberman asked Chris Mathews the same question, Chris paused for a bit longer, and said "Yes, Yup" Then Olberman looked at the camera and deadpanned, "There you have it, Good night ladies and gentleman thank you for watching." Then laughter as this was not the end of the broadcast.
Then last night Clinton sends out this email... Which reads a lot like a concession....
.. -->----START EMAIL CONTENT------>Dear Sean,
Tonight's victory in Indiana was close, and a margin that narrow means just one thing: every single thing you did to help us win in Indiana helped make the difference.
Every call you made, every friend you spoke to about our campaign, every dollar you contributed made tonight's victory possible. And I couldn't be more thankful for your hard work.
Every time we've celebrated a victory, we've celebrated it together. And tonight is no exception. This victory is your victory, this campaign is your campaign, and your support has been the difference between winning and losing.
Thank you so much for making this campaign possible. Let's keep making history together.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

So, I haven't blogged in a while. I have however been quite busy and active politically. I have been volunteering for the Obama campaign as well as following this fucking election like a day trader follows the NASDAQ. And what has all this attention to the political process brought me to conclude about myself and the political process of this Country? That I hate the Democratic party. They are a bunch of negative thinking bureaucratic, elitist, paper pushing, pork barrel spenders that are mired in a cesspool of red tape and talking points.
In all likelihood, the Democratic Party will lose this election. And I don't think I give a shit anymore. If they lose this one then they deserve to lose it. And it will be all Hillary, Bill, Florida and Barack's fault. Oh and don't foget the fucking bullshit democratic congress and Nancy Pelosi too.
I'm getting older, maybe I'm turning into a conservative. I mean is having a small governement really that bad? I hate paying taxes. And I generally don't like people; so why is it exactly that I consider myself a Democrat?

I digress or maybe not, but I hate the Democrats.
I hate the Democrats and I REALLY hate George Bush but I also hate Shrillary Clinton. What a pathetic hypocritical bullshit campaign she has run. And don't even get me started on Florida.

At this point I'm glad The Shrub will be out of office.
I don't know if Obama will self destruct as he seems to be doing. But if he does, I will vote for John Mccain or maybe "throw my vote away" and vote for Mike Gravel. But I will NEVER vote for Shrillary
If I could give advice to Senator Obama, it would be go watch the news of the 2004 election.

Fuck it all. Maybe apathy will give me some peace of mind. mmmmm peace of mind.....
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Ralph Nader, the longtime consumer advocate who was blamed by many Democrats for Al Gore's loss in the 2000 presidential election, launched an exploratory committee Wednesday for another White House bid, and told CNN he is likely to get in the race if he can put the resources in place.
"John Edwards, the banner of Democratic Party populism, is dropping out, and Dennis Kucinich dropped out earlier, so in terms of voters who are at least interested in having major areas of injustice, deprivations, and solutions discussed in a presidential campaign, they might be interested in my exploratory effort," Nader said.
Nader has launched an official exploratory committee Web site, and said he will formally make a decision in about a month. He said he is certain to get in the race if he can demonstrate the ability to raise $10 million and recruit enough lawyers to deal with ballot access issues. He has yet to formally file paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission, though he does not need to until he officially becomes a candidate, according to the FEC.
Nader said he finds Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both unacceptable candidates, and he said whichever wins the party's presidential nomination will not have an impact on his decision to run.
Affter watching the debate last night Hillary Clinton said that The Shrub was over in Saudi Arabia begging for oil. This caught my attention so I looked it up. Sure enough she is correct. (see story below) The president of the United States of America BEGGING OTHER NATIONS FOR OIL!!!!!! It makes me want to vomit in my mouth and swallow. How low can one nation go? How utterly disgusting. Fucking shrub. PA - THE - TIC!
OK I have been following this primary race for both parties religiously. I correctly predicted that Hillary would not only lose in Iowa but that she would come in third place. I am now ready to name the two nominees.
But first here is how tomorrow will turn out in the Granite State: McCain will win, followed by Romney, Huckabee, Thompson, and Ron Paul. Yes Ron Paul will once again garner double digit support and beat Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
On the Democratic side. Obama will win. by over 9 points against Clinton. Edwards will come in third somewhere around 20 percent.
The two nominees will be Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain
Rep. Ron Paul will run as an Independent.
The 44th President of the United States of America will be Barack Obama
The people have spoken: Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul breaks the ALL TIME Single day FUND RAISING RECORD for ANY political candidate in the history of modern presidential politics.
Ron Paul also makes the front page of CNN.com. Yes, the headline story on the front page.
