A Republican President in 2008 - Against All Odds

Obama Teeshirt

If political fortunes can be foretold by the “sportsbook”, and one is inclined to play the safe odds, putting money on the “horse” with the best chances of gaining the White House, then Barack Obama, who has the lowest payout should he win the presidency is the one safe bet. Odds are driven by a variety of factors and popularity of a given “horse” is one of the main factors.

Conservatives and Moderates alike can now look forward to 2012. They may ask: who’s to blame? The answer: Those right wing spiritual leaders who sat back and failed to endorse or weigh in until the 11th hour, one might think on purpose. This condemnation is based on a conversation between James Dobson, Focus on the Family, and Sean Hannity, Fox right-wing reporter, during a program segment last year. Hannity was close to tears as Dobson insisted that the right would be better served if a Democrat were elected to the Presidency.

Revelations from the Bluest State courtesy of the Boston Globe. Apparently, homicides due to domestic violence doubled in the Baystate in the past year. As a result, judges are rethinking the usual Massachusetts template of justice, otherwise known as criminals need treatment, not detention, and only placing half of those arrested into treatment programs. That should make 50% of those living with abusive spouses in the state feel 50% more secure. This mentality of cure the criminal is applied across the board, across the state, regardless of the nature of the crime. New state slogan, Massachusetts – 50% safer than last year!

McCain’s V.P. picks – Monday Morning Speculations

An ABC Political News Blog theorizes that Condi Rice may by lobbying (funny choice of words when talking about McCain’s VP choices), for the VP slot, although she has patently denied an interest in pursuing politics in every interview given in the past 4 years.

Fox News is reporting that conservative groups are lobbying against a possible Romney pick as V.P., which, why would they bother?

If McCain is smart his choice would come from the south – possibly Florida.

Does it matter in the grand scheme of things? Not really.

Our choices are limited, at best.
