President Mc Cain

Last night's primary results while split, did not move Hillary forward enough and that is disappointing for her fans. However, I am not giving up yet on Hillary. I will do whatever she says because she is my leader. As long as she is in it, so am I.

So, you ask, why the title above.....Well, I just read a blog from a democrat who said we need to get use to hearing, "President McCain." And whether we like it or not, it may be true. When McCain was counted out last summer and went out alone in New Hampshire and won, I thought then, this may be his destiny. When you look at his history, it is a remarkable story and when I saw him some months ago on Meet the Press, the word, "authentic" kept popping up in my head. McCain has the feel of a person you can trust.

Just the opposite, Obama is an elegant speaker but carries a questionable track record in job performance and associates. I do not have a sense of trust about him. Obama's speech last night was brilliant but I couldn't help noticing again, the teleprompters and the prepared remarks. He is not the same in interviews and debates. He reminds me of Adlai Stevenson (yes, my first love in politics) also from Chicago. Adlai was an elegant man, brilliant and..... a two time loser for the presidency. Obama may be the black version of Adlai. I just don't see how he wins this in spite of the negative numbers for the republicans. Those low Bush ratings may translate into increased numbers for the democrats in the Senate and House but not necessarily the Presidency. The fact that the polls today show a close race for the presidency in spite of huge opposition to Bush policies may be an indication the public is not holding McCain responsible for much of what is going on today. His biggest problem is the war. The present polls show that it might not be any different with Hillary as the candidate but I think she has more stomach for the fight than Barack. Get ready for lots of whining and accusations of racism.

And here is a list of names, some of which you are familiar with but not all, I am sure. If Obama is the candidate, they will be a part of the general election, guaranteed. Look them up......Tony Rezko, Nadhmi Auchi, Bernadine Dohrn, William Ayers, Rashid Khalidi and the favorite, Jerimiah Wright. The 527's are all ready set to go.
