"You be the judge; I've already made my prediction"

Marc Chamot, thanks again for the gratis and reference.

The pundits, as recent as an hour ago show Barack only 3 points ahead of McCain in the poles. Be that as it may, Barack is now only beginning his general election campaign. It is my appraisal that he will be so much more definitive of explanation with regards to his change and hope agenda that McCain will require wrap-around safety goggles just to keep Obama's smoke from penetrating his eyes as he struggles to follow Obama's growing popularity.

Over the past 15 or so months the pundits have made a habit of comparing both Barack and Hillary's competitive strengths against McCain's. "Who is the strongest candidate that can most effectively topple the McCain long-time dream of the presidency, Barack or Hillary?" As I listened with frustration to their meaningless comparisons I tried feverishly to focus on the reality that either Barack or Hillary shall make of the race an easy time. Still and all, for the lack of newsworthy periods our TV wonder-guys and gals waste little time sensationalizing irrelevant data. Me thinks they mean well. Me thinks they think little about what they mean!

Obama, even in light of Hillary's most criticized speech the other night remains a most gracious prevalent. His respect for his most worthy of opponents, not so long ago opinioned as pandering, has always been consistent and sincere. I admire his interpersonal skills as another indication of his above average ability to lead diplomacy and furthermore, to achieve results at the highest of expectations.

Either or both you or I have referenced America's state of prejudice in prior writings. Many are indeed amazed that a black man no matter how qualified is able to penetrate historical walls of social impedance. As I've attested most prodigiously, focus and genuine goals for the good of the expansive population if presented for all transcend and relegate things as insignificant as prejudice to the very back of the bus, pardon the reference.

Barack’s focus on the totality of America and its citizenry, no matter its diversity has been and remains cause in and of the preponderance of Americans to hear the message and see of the man, not of his ancestry, heritage, religious, or racial climate but more of his expansive stance for the good of "We the People."

I for one am so very ‘turned on’ from this overwhelmingly exciting Democratic Primary. Have you ever watched a tennis match where you held empathy for the “second place winner.” In this race there were no losers, only the winningest of the two shall compete for the highest office in the land.

Together they have earned more than 35 million votes, closely divisive by any standard. Simply by turnout, if the primary is any indication, the Dems shall overcome and secure the Presidency, the Senate and the House. Research of McCain’s popular vote total yields little results. However, viewing the table below shows George Bush’s total popular vote in the Bush v Gore anomaly as a mere 50.4+ million votes and that was in a general election. Both Clinton and Obama, without adding in the elusive caucus vote totals, have a combined voter representation of more than 35 million; certainly it’s been many years since such a primary turn-out has been witnessed which is strong evidence that America is repulsed by the thought of another four years of Bushmanic catastrophic policies.

In the Gore v Bush race the total popular vote for Gore was 50.9+ million and Bush 50.4+ million.

Al Gore (Democrat) 50,999,897 48.38%

George W. Bush (Republican) 50,456,002 47.87%

Gore led Bush by 543,895 votes. Be mindful, the 28% approval rating that gratifies Bush’s failed policies means there could be possibly up to a 22% republican defection to the left.

Amen to that!
