McCain Wins Wisconsin and Washington
Obama’s on a Winning Streak!
Timing in Life is Everything.
It was with shock and awe that I watched the results for the primary elections in Wisconsin and Washington State last evening. The speed in which all news outlets called the election for John McCain based on exit polls was simply amazing (the exit polls were based on interviews with approximately 800 voters)Fox News Exit Polls (CNN No Longer Available), it was barely 9:00 p.m. and the polls had been closed for less than one minute. What was more mind-boggling was the speed in which McCain took the stage to give his long-winded acceptance speech. It was 9:04 p.m. The raw numbers from precincts reporting in were not even showing at that point. How amazing it must be to be able to so clearly predict a win. (This is sarcasm). The general disillusionment with the system in general (on both sides of the aisle mind you), has grown from one of frustration the process, to one of utter disbelief!
Understanding that Mike Huckabee has always been an underdog, but actually does, even at this juncture have the ability to force this primary season to the fullest by garnering 51% of the vote and thereby, going all the way to the convention; it boggles the mind that the more Mike stays in, the more ridiculous the media, the RNC and McCain become.
On the other side, the constant downplaying of support, and displays of photo’s and video of Ms. Clinton that are less than say, charming, has become, from a feminist point of view, ludicrous.
This is the way I see it: The elite in Washington decided to hold their power one way or another and needed a lackey in order to do so. McCain was perfect, he didn’t stand a chance (in fact, less of a chance than Huckabee), and so given the carrot, he took the bait (and the money). These elite decided he would be their best chance at holding their own against Hillary Clinton.
On the other side, those that hold power in the DNC decided Hillary could be bested by some nasty old man, and so, they have rammed Obama down our throats.
Poll those of us who have voted long enough and this is what you find:
Clinton and Huckabee are the most acceptable candidates based on experience and policy.
Understanding that this is simply conjecture, but, other factors to consider:
With a loss of the white house, the RNC feels that it may be able to gain back its control of the congress.
The DNC feels that with a strong enough candidate they can consolidate their control of the congress.
Both parties help the media, who are helping them in turn, because left versus right has become a huge industry.
Enter the people:
Disenfranchised and Disillusioned.
