If Hilary (the media favorite) had won Iowa, would the heading have been - Women are very exited about a woman winning. Or White People are very exited that a White Man won? Nope.
But,what happens when the "Media Favorite" looses an election??? The media pulls out all the stops -- anything is fair game -- to lure people to the poles to vote against the winner next time -- and therefore hopefully vote for the "favorite". Like running an article on the front page of the newspaper, from a nationwide source - so it probably made it the the front page of many newspapers, in BOLD TYPE that Black People are very happy that Obama won in Iowa. Obviously hoping to draw out every bigot in the United States to vote --- and hopefully vote against him, by race card.
That's what the bold type on the front page of our paper was Saturday morning, and I have no doubt the reason for the wording - nor the front page placement. And I am ashamed to say it still happens in our Country...

Republican/Democrat Debate 1/5/08
OK - So lets talk about the Debate held last Saturday Night, now that I have had some time to think about it and cool down a bit. Remember, I am a staunch Republican.
First of all, let me say that the Debate was ran in a very amateurish fashion - I have never seen any debate of any kind allowed to turn into mayhem like that. Nobody answering questions, people constantly interrupting each other, name calling, totally obnoxious.....totally out of control. We only get a few minutes to hear the Candidates talk, and maybe out of 2 hours we got 10 minutes of what we came for.
Also, I have never seen anyone get the license towards another debater that Charles Gibson gave to the "medial choice" Hilary Clinton. Oh my goodness, when does the media draw the line at giving her every advantage possible???
Charles Gibson should not be allowed to ever run a debate again. Now, on to the debate itself...
The Republicans - ALL OF THEM - were a bunch of buffoons. I'm embarrassed to be a member of their party. They spent more time taking pot shots at each other than answering questions -- and they answered few questions, even though they talked a lot. When I see this kind of behavior it makes me feel that the people involved are incompetent and are just burning up minutes in an attempt to avoid saying something that will show it. I probably won't be voting for any of them this time.
The Democrats - seemed to be a civilized group of people. Seemed to be. The most notable moments were: 1)When Clinton tried the line that She has 35 years experience making change. Let me see -- She was an attorney in Arkansas where she ultimately got indicted for mis-deads. She was a Governor's wife, then a President's wife, then moved to a state she had never lived in so could no nothing about just to get elected to a position where she has spent a few years making decisions about people and places she doesn't know....so it appears to me that she is taking credit for what Bill did the last 35 years. That opens up a whole new situation for us. If she is going to take credit for what Bill did, then does that mean she takes credit for cutting our military to the point we don't have enough forces to fight a country the size of the Midwest? Not going after Bin Laden the first time he bombed the Twin Towers, resulting in the second successful attempt? Destroying the economy of several states by closing military bases so fast there was no time to absorb the workers? When the economy went south, changing the way the measurements are made to make it look good -- when it wasn't? Does she also take credit for those bad deeds and more??? Hilary has a long lineage of being a mean, self centered, uncaring person..and we don't need that in the drivers seat.
Seems to me Obama may be something. He didn't loose his cool, even when Hilary got the special treat of going after him personally, specifically him. He even gave her a compliment. He seems to be interested in working with everyone to come up with some solution we can all agree to -- maybe not get what we want, but at least get something that will work...and that is who we need in the drivers seat for a change...we haven't had that for a long long time. So - right now he looks pretty good....
Subject to change as events unfold....but that's my take today..
