The Warren-Obama Connection - and 2016 - Are Democrats Serious?
From all accounts the Democrat National Convention to be held in Charlotte, NC is being billed as a “train wreck” or “disaster”, of course, this comes from one syndicated columnist whose use of adjectives are at once descriptive and yet, hilarious, depending upon which side of the aisle one subscribes. (See Michelle Malkin's New York Post OPed piece here for the full flavor.)
However, in every piece that attempts to inform and entertain, there is more than a grain of truth – a trip around the web finds that several higher profile Democrats plan on skipping the Tar-Heel State this year, it’s an election issue, their own. From Gather.com “More Democrats Announce Plans To Skip Convention” - included in the skipping: New York Democratic Representatives Bill Owens and Kathy Hochul , Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, Sen. Joe Manchin and Rep. Nick Rahall –a total of 5 to date.
The CNN announced another: Mark Critz of Pennsylvania who is up for election in November in a re-drawn competitive 12th Congressional District.
That said there must be more to this story than meets the eye – but of course, it’s the fact that the Convention is being held in a State that is “right to work” and of course, Democrats are backed mainly by Labor Unions – putting them at odds with their base.
Now, Occupy Wall Street plans to attend with Gusto - entitled “The Charlotte Principle” with a note to “Occupy Wall Street South”, the rising use of anarchy rather than insipid chanting (not sure which is most annoying), will greet convention goers – of course, Obama’s own, Elizabeth Warren created the group - (a la Al Gore) as a platform for running for Senate in MA on the Grandma ticket - Since it’s a good possibility Ms. Warren will be hawking her Chow Wow Pow cookbooks and other ancestral trinkets at the convention to raise funds to fend of popular Scott Brown – the Current Senator running on – Good Grief – Common Sense – perhaps she can talk some sense in to the anarchists attending – and save the day for the rank and file?
According to Tampa Bay Online, both major parties are not taking any chances, and will be opening their conventions with; Prayers having the conventions “Blessed” prior to engaging in the political back and forth, the anarchists the missing members, and the fact that a pro-union political party is holding it’s convention in an anti-union state. – On the Republican side, they are consistently opening and closing Conventions, town meetings, what-have you with blessings and prayers, so it’s anticipated, and expected, and – nothing to see here move along type news.
Last note on the nervous breakdown the media is not even attempting to hide anymore, as one after another either puts their foot in it (and is subsequently fired), or makes things up and or just writes as if Obama is going to win big in November (See Ostrich and behavior and what should be happening: - Politico (yes the very same) now is asking the pivotal question of Mitt Romney (first he’s boring, then he’s a bully, then he’s an outsourcer, then he’s rich, then he’s a Republican! (woops), then he’s lacking this, or has too much of that - the Google News Alerts are consistently demeaning and worse, consistently more desperate and ridiculous – which tells anyone with access to two to four years of presidential polling data – Mitt’s the guy, and they’ve got nothing on him – the latest “Smack of Desperation Award” to: Politico for their piece this weekend on:
Mario Cuomo asking Romney to “Show him (Cuomo) that he’s (Romney) not Richard Nixon!!!
No kidding.
Next week it will be: What Romney and Calvin Coolidge have in Common!
(Answer in advance, both Fiscal Conservatives, both from Massachusetts)
The Gist: The writes of the piece wanted to know more about Romney’s plan (instead of going to the Romney website and looking at the document), specifically in areas of “immigration, balancing the budget, foreign policy and Wall Street regulation.” – So they called in an expert:
Mario Cuomo, the former three-term governor of New York who spent a decade as the North Star of liberal Democrats after keynoting the party’s 1984 convention. In an interview, Cuomo said Romney’s “playing the Nixon game. Nixon said, ‘I have a plan but you won’t know it until you elect me as president.’ ” (Politico)
Cuomo then gets into the Massachusetts race, chastising Scott Brown to do the same for Lizzie (Grandma) Warren so she can take the Brown plan to the President (Obama) and have him figure it out!
Apparently, Romney isn’t giving the Democrats enough information! They have nothing to go one, nothing to figure out – however, memory serves that just a few years ago, and on an ongoing basis - the Democrats passed a bill that is currently on the chopping block of the Supreme Court at the behest of several states ad the American Public, all on a promise by then Speaker of the House – Nancy Pelosi – who infamously said – “You’ll have to pass the bill to see what’s in it!”
(Video clip below funny if it weren’t so heartbreakingly disturbingly true!)
Now, Democrats want transparency from Mitt Romany?!! Seriously? Romney is, let’s face it, even from Conservative Standards, as transparent as they come, not over the top, but he asks and answers, and thus the witch hunt or inability of top Democrats and their surrogate press to find links or get answers they want (notice, note: answer that to do not play into editorial content will not be considered transparent, rather a dodge.)
Elizabeth Warren on the national stage may be being groomed to be the next Obama, (see Petition from Weekend piece on Warren at the 2016 convention) This Obama appointed Harvard Professor of dubious background and even less credentials that the current White House Occupier, who runs ads in Massachusetts where she’s running, not mentioning the Democrat Party once in the 30 second video (of which there are several), is consistently being touted in the national press – Brown certainly has a lot on his plate as the MA media is in Warren’s back pocket (what else is new) and Brown is left with nothing but the people – sounds eerily familiar to the last roundup – only Coakley was at least a respected pol (which is rare in MA – she was not indicted), she was up by 15 points in the Boston Globe Polls, everyone and their bother from Washington to New York and Boston though she was a shoe in – and – somehow, the voters said no and elected Brown. Look for a repeat.
As to the Romney Obama Matchup – although Romany is looking at the all important swing states, careful attention should be paid to the 10 states where Obama still has a job approval rankings of 50% or higher: These are the states he is most likely to carrying a presidential election – no matter the dream act, no matter if they rise the dead, bus in voters, register their dogs, their 10 year olds, UN diplomats:
From Gallup: (3 consecutive years in a row): From January 1st 2012: States where the President Enjoys a 50% approval rating are: DC (81.1%), HI (56.1%), MD (55.1%), MA (55.1%), CT (55.%) NY (54.7%), VT (51.3%), DE (50.9%), NJ (50.8%), IL (50.4%) and CA (50.1%) - as with any polling data that is ongoing and rolling – there is a margin of error – is approximately 5% (with a 95% confidence rate) (Gallup). The article then goes on to speak to the Electoral College – if not a fan of the Electoral College, one could say look at the popular vote – either way with the other 40 states in varying degrees of apathy, one might hazard to guess after 3 years of consistently dismal polls, and the same results, The President may be likable, he may be funny, he may be able to carry a tune, while Mitt Romney, has an actual sense of humor, is not as likeable, and cannot sing a note, but..He’s not: Barack Obama and he does have experience as Governor and in the Private Sector.
After watching the polls and the tracking data for the landslide of 1980, with a three way race no less, the above scenario is almost – the same.

This is why the hysteria is growing, the tapes of Romney are being badly edited and the rest will, as they say, be history. This is not to say that one should think anything is in the bag – but it’s out there, and that’s a big huge, but.
The biggest question hanging out there is why on earth haven’t the Democrats done the sensible thing: Draft Hillary Clinton – save their party – save the nation, and stop the whole Chow-Wow-Occupy-Yet-Another-Unqualified-Progressive Petition for 2016 – Someone needs to get a handle on them before the Party implodes? Things to Consider: Clinton is not Teddy Kennedy, but Obama is not unlike Carter - The Convention, it’s their party, they make and break the rules all the time, just make the plans to nominate her now for crying out loud! In that way, the General Public, would at least have a contest on their hands one where, a woman of intellect, integrity and ability would have a shot.
