There is much dismissing of Obama's win in South Carolina by some of the liberal media-- comments such as".. he is a black candidate- so he was expected to win" or ..."Remember Jesse Jackson won South Carolina and did not get the nomination..." and there are others.
Well those people better watch out-- Jesse Jackson went to the 1988 Presidential Convention- in second palce with vote total and delegates.
Most important however- was the stirrring speech he gave. A speech that moved many people- a speech that Obama and John Edwards seem to be copying.
In his heyday Jesse Jackson was a force to be reckoned with.
Many people dismissed his candidacy and many Democratic big shots ignored his constituency-- these ignored Democrats-- became the blue collar Democrats that elected George Bush and Ronald Reagan.
Obama and John Edwards are stirring up these Democrats once more--
the Democrats have better stop the bickering and remember their roots if they expect to capture the White House.

How about "Now"!
Currently. Sens Obama and Clinton are proposing ideas for an economic stimulus. health care and other ideas.
If they both have such great ideas-- why are they telling us about them--
they are incumbents-- why are they not at work proposing these ideas-- a 90 day delay on foreclosures if elected- how about now before you are elected- change- how about doing something now about change-- not when you are elected.
Obama and Hillary should get their supporters together and rally at the White House gates- and proclaim "NOW!"
How about a march on the White House-- as for the Republican candidates-- McCain as an incumbent should join in- he is afterall a favorite of the Independents.
Politics aside-- if these liars were serious about running for the betterment of the country-- let them do it now.

The Primaries
The primaries have started, and it appears that there is no definite winner.
Although the Democratic Party appears to have two front runners- do not count John Edwards out.Obama has little experience, Hillary has a lot of baggage and they may end up duking it out and creating enough mayhem , that the voters may very well say --"Enough is enough-I will vote for Edwards".
John Edwards had provided most of the beef in the campaign so far- he has used less flowery slogans and more concrete ideas- 'Listen up people!"
Meanwhile--on the Republican side it is still a mishmash with no apparent winner.MaCain is on thr rise, Huckabee is a surprise-he is winningor doing better than expected- Romney is a surprise- he is doing worse than expected.
The big surprise is that Fred Thompson may surprise everyone and win South Carolina, and Guelianni may win Florida.
I think Romney will lose Michigan- and Super Tuesday may winnow the fields of both parties.
Meanwhile-- the US Congress has done nothing to benefit the working man or women-the Democrats are just as big of a failure as the Republicans were- giving more proof that we should pay our elected representatives less and give them smaller staff budgets to work with.
There should be no longterm financial incentive to stay in office- a fresh coat of paint is needed every few years.
Locally, Maryland is still facing massive deficits as is Montgomery County.
I do not know what the answer is- taxes have been raised, budget cuts are being suggested and there are still some crazies who think we should develop more land in order to increase population in order to increase our tax base. Hmmmm
The logic here is kind of scary.
It is getting more expensive to live in this state for many people- I have had three neighbors and a number of friends- who have left the state for cheaper living- I would like to join them but I have family in the area and I do not think my health insurance will follow me.
Another reason- I love Maryland and I hate to leave friends behind and I hate the thought of packing and moving.
So... I will stay and hope for the best for all of us who live in this great state- lets be nice to each other and help each other and keep an open mind.
