I still cannot figure out why everyone in Oregon and even Iowa for that matter has aligned themselves with Obama. I have not heard any of his speeches in full, but may be I should because he seems to have that effect on people.
I am happy to be wrong on this one so far  |
It really has little to do with the Kennedys and more to do with the way Barack was nominated. He was nominated with little "machine" help. Don't get me wrong. Barack gets big money as much as anyone else. But most of his donors were outside of the regular Democratic machine.
Its funny. Barack for all his anger at Wall Street. He gets more money from them than any other candidate. Money flows to man like he is magnetic. Then of course, it was the support of the "new" voters. He has finally tapped into the youth vote and is turning out the "Black" vote in incredible numbers. Don't forget about Latinos. They loved some Clintons. . .but they will not go for McCain. The whole witchhunt for illegal aliens has pissed them off. But all of this has pointed to him not having to pick her for his Vice President. He is going to hang onto the same strongholds. All he has to do is pick up a couple of more states, that's even counting Florida and Ohio. If he can get Virginia, New Mexico, Iowa, and/or Colorado. He becomes more competitive than Clinton would have been.
It is so funny, because the predicament the Clintons are in, isn't the result of Barack's race. It is the result of the crazed "White" supremacist system we live in. Barack is just playing the system better.
And it doesn't mean he will help us one bit. It is just funny to see the Clintons pissed off because some non-"White" is beating them at the system they were experts at.
