I’m glad to see the Bush-Clinton stranglehold on power is nearing an end. I think the Obama and McCain race will be a good one. We could use a good leader. I think both Obama and McCain are capable men and have an opportunity to show us who is best by reuniting their respective parties in the coming months.

Just a side note. I like the new look of the website, but I’d like to see the TOTD have a like on the home page.

It would seem to me that Clinton knows something that no one else does or she would be getting out. She has spent quite a bit of her own money to stay in. I think it will go all the way to the convention. There is bound to be a big bomb dropped on Obama by the Clinton camp. She, has something up her sleeve. You know her hubby Bill does if she doesn’t.

Thanks for the kind remark, jfmoyn. I’d be obliged if you could share your thoughts about the redesign on our FAQ here.

I think the only thing this race decided is that Hillary and Obama will be in it till the convention.

The convention will be brokered, and it will be historic. The super delegates will be a huge factor, as will the final decision on what to do with Florida and Michigan’s delegates. Do you seat them, or disenfranchise millions? If you don’t allow the regular delegates to be seated, what about Florida and Michigan’s super delegates? Do the super delegates vote with the majority of the people, or cast their votes for more “private” reasons?

The results of these decisions, and other back room deals will determine whether a Black man or a Woman is nominated to be President of the United States of America. Both would be firsts, but only one will happen. The Democrats hope that the choice doesn’t fracture the party, and cause half of their potential voters to stay away (or defect). The GOP hopes exactly the opposite, they hope for division and rancor – a split that doesn’t heal and sees the party savaging itself all the way to election day.

The real question starts after the nomination is over – will the Democratic party heal the split, or destroy itself with in fighting? We’ll just have to wait and see.

PS- I’m not sure how I feel about the redesign yet - but I do like the new TOTD banner.

First off, pop your webmaster upside the head for this website! So much stuff trying to load, it’s almost impossible to use. My security settings show all kinds of stuff is trying to load and “install” itself on my PC. Looks like a hooker all dressed up for the Shriners.
What has to happen? Well, if we want to hold real old-timey elections as our founding fathers wanted them held, we will play this out according to the rules. Unless a candidate wants to bow out for whatever reason. Nowadays we have too many outside interests for the worst of reasons who want to “adjust” the election processes and results. Hanging chads my A**!
This election is particularly crucial as far as going the distance because it is so unusual, and offers many educational opportunities for studying segments of the population who never had much of a voice before. We have minorities and majority gender populations who have never had this much of a national platform before. Why rush throgh it? It will teach us about our remaining prejudices, fears, and hopefully, push us towards change and a spiritual evolving. Play it out…honestly this time!

Where is everybody today. After moving around the website for a while, it’s pretty neat. I’m not to smart, but able to find things easier than I could before. I like it. That’s saying a lot from a grouchy old guy like me.

Go back to the kitchen for more popcorn and watch Obama and Clinton keep duking it out till both fall over and McCain steps in and wins.

Eagle-Eye’s right. The Dems are tripping over themselves, clearing a path for the Republicans. 4 more years of Bush!

Unfortunately, I think Obama is going to win the nomination, but I don’t think that will split the dems. We’re going to get an experienced guy with a great vision. The inexperience will hurt, but either of them are going to be an improvement over the republican’s rule. Hopefully, that damage to our country can be reversed.
