Mr. President?

Mr. President?

With Barack Obama winning Iowa and surging in both New Hampshire and national polls, is there any way for Senator Clinton to win?  I don’t know but I wouldn’t count her out just yet.

If he wins the Democratic nomination are there any chances for a Republican candidate?  Well with him winning more votes in Iowa (a state Bush carried in 2004) than all of the Republican candidates combined, it doesn’t look good for the GOP either.

“I have so many opportunities for this country.”

This is what bothers me about so many people that want to be in office.  They think government, in their hands, is the solution to X problem. 

“I have so many opportunities for this country. I don’t want to see us all fall back,” she said, her voice breaking in the last phrase.   –Hillary Clinton (from Ben Smith of The Politico)

This also bothers. 

The questioner, Pernold, said she’d come to the event “smitten” by Obama, but that she’s now torn. “Showing that emotion — I really find it refreshing,” she said.

Edit: She didn’t say “I have so many opportunites for this country.”  She did say she has so many opportunities from this country.  I’d love to say I’ll double check where I get my info.  but I won’t.

See her for yourself

Huckabee is no Reagan

“Huckabee is No Ronald Reagan; There is no Reagan in the Race” -Rush

Huck

Rush must have used an old pic of the Huck for this one.

Well he isn’t Reagan, and he shouldn’t try to be.  He needs to be himself.  All of the Republican candidates need to be themselves.  Hearkening back to days gone by is not a winning strategy.  If you want to be a strong candidate you should never compare yourself to him or anyone else for that matter.  Be yourself, stand by your principles.  If others make the comparison, fine, but don’t make the comparison yourself.  Be a leader!
