The thing that's saddest for myself is that I think both candidates end up undermining the Democrat's platform in the end, especially if both candidates perform any negative campaigning. If this were November and we had to go to the ballots right now with both candidates on the list, this wouldn't be an issue. But we still need for the Democrats to make it to November and provide a positive image for the American public and the world to witness.

This campaign is so critical that everyone is watching. People have so many opinions on the subject, simply because Bush fucked the US up really badly. The next 8 years of the world impinges on selecting the correct one. Heck, my next 8 years of my life impinges on the next president. I mean, I'm hoping the next one has enough sense to dismantle the Homeland Shitcurity waste and TSA (Totally Stupid Assholes) agency and focus on getting the nation back on track.

Anybody but Bush is the wrong attitude to have. I think that all of the Republican candidates (except Ron Paul who dropped out) are not qualified to lead the country into 2016. We don't have that much time to rebuild the nation. China and India are catching up. Many allies lost faith in the US and only fear another crazy regime in taking over. Youth is despondent as ever and the kids are growing up dumber while other countries are leading in science and technology. Then you have the ecological issues with Global Warming, resource depletion, the oil crisis and such. Also, you have job losses and crooked finance firms getting away with murder while CEOs depart with the gratitude of multi-million dollar severance packages.

I don't want nor trust a Republican to lead America away from this. So hopefully the next candidate will be strong enough to take on the Republican party and win won for the country rather than a few self-serving people.

Hey Hillary! Why don't you team up with Obama as VP if you lose to him? I think that'd be a killer tag team.]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2008 22:56:05 -0700 http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2008/2/10/3cb296541f25c2ed6248bd3775405786.html http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2008/2/19/bd05f8e08962b74f9529bd38a76998ff.html Clinton Says Obama Relies on Words." Hillary should realize what a hypocrite she is by her own words. This type of rhetoric garners no respect from myself, no, I presume, the world at large. Here, we have a case of the squeaky wheel trying to get the grease, but she's just ending up getting more rusted by the day. Here's a message to Hillary: Examine how your husband beat George Bush in 1992 to figure out how to beat Obama.

Bill Clinton attempted to describe what his plans were in as concrete a fashion as possible while his opponent George Bush attempted to negatively paint his character as being dubious. It has been said that Bill Clinton utilized the polls on what people wanted to hear to help him overcome Bush. Apparently during that era, people wanted action after being sick of the Republican dominance starting from the Reagan era. Once again, Hillary should be listening to her people and I think people want a person who will solve key issues like the mortgage crisis, job loss, the stagnating economy, pulling ourselves out of ironic, getting the country out of debt, stemming job losses to outsourcing, dealing with the oil/gas crunch, improving education, improving safety WITHIN the country, paying more respect to people's privacy, doing things to keep America competitive against India and China in the information age, and improving progress in America as a world leader.

Instead, Hillary is coming off like a whiny little bitch for losing.

If Hillary wants to succeed in this election, she cannot be the pot calling the kettle black (oh, she definitely doesn't want to go there with Obama). She needs to be forward thinking, not delving into the childish realm of a pro-wrestling interview match. Austin 3:16 works for Steve Austin and the WWE. The country is suffering and has suffered Republican abuse for the past 8 years, which has caused many people, especially the younger generations a great deal of frustration. Only by concentrating on beating McCain through focusing on how to get America back on track, can the next leader have any hope of winning this coming election.

So Hillary, the world is watching. You've made a lot of mistakes and your losses are a clear indication that people are losing faith in your cheap tactics that only work at a high school prom. Be a woman of the future and start tackling issues, not making the election a matter of personal insults and taking the low, easy road to convince your naysayers that you are the right candidate.
