Super Tuesday

Wed, 2008-02-06 00:56 — Nick Lewis

"Leaked" exit polls suggest Obama will have a very good night. Not quite celebrating yet, as the last 8 years have conditioned me to expect heartbreak everytime I feel a glimmer of hope in the political arena. Who knows, though: maybe the exit polls are right, and there might be a glimmer of hope for the USA. Or, perhaps the democrats will do what they've always done, and shoot themselves in the foot by nominating HRC. Lord knows the Dems do nothing better than sabotage theirselves. THey are perhaps the only party in the world that could lose even THIS presidential election.

what does he stand for?

First I must say I also hope he'll win, because there is no better candidate in the race. But for me that sums up the problem: there is no better candidate in the race.

What you have is a flawed system, where the only choice you've got is between two parties that gore vidal calls 'the two right wings of the property party'.

And so you choose the lesser of two evils: the Democrats.

And so you choose the lesser of two evils: Obama.

And that's where the choosing ends...

But what's so great about him? He has taken lots of money from Big Business so he owes a lot of favors and he hasn't really said what he's gonna do when he gets to the white house...

Is he going to be the first president of the US after WWII that doesn't commit crimes under international law? Is he going to stop US aggression? Is he going to not veto everything in the security council that Israel doesn't like? Is he going to stand up to Big Business and give all of you guys health insurance? Jada jada jada...

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

The US is not going to be a real democracy anytime soon. Not if you guys don't change the system radically, like it's been changed the last 20 years, just in the opposite direction, please.

This just in

While browsing around here, I got the news alert that Obama won Maine. CNN now puts him 27 delegates behind Hillary, after it was 61 this morning and almost 100 earlier this week. A pretty steep trend.

Obama is now FORTY-TWO ahead

This is a very nice number. :)

Gosh

I really hope Obama makes it. It's still a close race, and he gained a lot of ground today.

The war profiting companies

The war profiting companies who control many of the major media outlets clearly prefer Clinton over Obama. Obama is too much of a wild card who stands more of a chance to oppose their interests. I think that's why we are seeing dirty trick like the one in Michigan to get Obama's name off the ballot (I blogged a little about it here.) I happen to be pulling for Ron Paul as long as he stays in the race, but Obama is my second choice.

Get ongoing analysis

from the guy who called Super Tuesday right (except for Minnesota going to Romney...)

It's horse race coverage, but issues that matter actually get covered. The opposite of what we usually get, where alleged coverage of issues actually covers nothing.
