president

I am sitting here in Berlin, Germany, listening to NPR on 104.1 FM (yes, we have National Public Radio on-tap in Berlin, it is true), and I am rooting for Barack Obama. I have to admit that I voted Republican in the last two elections, in 2000 and 2004, because I was appalled by both Gore and Kerry. I was passionate about Bill Clinton during his eight years in office and preferred anything to Gore or Kerry, to be honest. That said, I want Barack Obama to win because the world wants Barack Obama to win.

"If War Is Good For GE, WESTINGHOUSE & FOX NEWS, It's Great For America".  Electing a Post-9/11, Post War & Post 9/11 Options Plot Senator as President, is like replacing your chickens with foxes and wondering where the eggs are!  This isn't a case of "Wag the Dog"...where Government manipulates the Media to go to war...it's "Dog the Wag"...where the Media manipulates the Government to go to war because "Death is Drama" and "Drama" creates Pentagon contracts!

Here's a piece today from the Wash Post's front page. Seems that Mike Huckabee's surge in Iowa has been in part of a vast gressroots network of conservative Christian/home school parent types. One key quote is that "In the first nine months of the campaign, Romney ran more that 5,000 ads on Iowa television. Huckabee ran none."

Now they're neck and neck, with Huckabee having a slight lead. Huckabee's supporters used one-to-one mail and email lists to spread the word. They did most of the work...sort of like Howard Dean's "Deaniacs" did back in 2003.

In the meantime, Romney relied on - because he had to - traditional methods backed up by big spending. His strategy may have made sense - he knew he's do well in next-door New Hampshire, and had to expand beyond that BUT the key here is that a form of social media (email) is blowing away, pound for pound, top heavy traditional media.

The biggest obstacle in the way of completing the GOP/Pentagon/RNC conquest of the world is the Congressional Limit on 2x Presidents and Cheney's "rep". After the appearance of "zorro's" meme, regarding the Cheney/Rumsfeld ticket, the powers that be decided to "FREE" Rove from current political exigencies of the swaggering White House and cut him loose, but this is just a new beginning!

Many believe that presidential hopeful Fred Thompson is suffering from a "he's just an actor" meme.
