What most people here fail to have grasped about my position is that while being a democrat I am hardly a democrat die hard. I think they are so full of crap that they can no longer move. They have absorbed every group that has come along in the last 30 years looking for votes that they no longer represent Americans. The represent segments of America.

The GOP just plain is out to lunch.

Sadly there are too many people in America that are not represented and if we had a third party there just might be an effort in this country to unifiy around moderate PROGRESS.

This change meme is BS. WE dont want change. We want PROGRESS. We want to progress forward. We want to change, adapt, overcome and move forward. Change is just a clever word that EVERY and I do mean EVERY politician has used in their campaign. Hillary used it. McCain used it.

I vote for progress but I do not vote for the progressives because they have done nothing but repackage their name from far left to progressive in a vain attempt at hoodwinking the general public long enough to get into power.

I guess the same could be said about the Republicans & the last 7 years. So now there's a chance to change the guard, and no guarantees that anything will get better.
Is this a suprise to anyone? Didn't think so. You are unfortunately correct – most people are sadly ignorant in regards to politics. They rely on FauxNews & CNN soundbites to inform their political knowledge And that's why we are where we are today.

4 years of the democrats pushing their version of things on us.

What many of those of you here posting fail to understand is that a goodly percent of America hate politics and think its a huge waste of time. Ive even had people ask me who is going to be running for president this year?

So when they start hearing rumors that the democrats are going to be in charge of everything there might be a voter backlash. Maybe it won't be against Obama but it just might be against the local Representative or the Senator from a state where the contest is close.

I predict some surprises this november. However in the end the GOP is dead. The democrats get to run rough shod over the voters. They get to set up their version of the nanny state. Just as the GOP has been nanny staters in the past telling us we cant have this but we must have this.

So now we just get to change who the nanny is.

Now Chris. Did I say the party establishment?

NO.

I said the Democrat and Republican party. I guess the difference between you and me is that when I use these phrases I mean the voters. The people. The collective will of those participants who make up each party.

I do not think the Democratic establishment wanted to necessarily kill Hillary's chances at the outset. Once there was the hope of change I think the fact that super delegates stampeded to Obama without there even being a conclusion to the voting process tells me that the establishment was facing Clinton Fatigue and wanted to be done with her.

I forget who wrote a piece here earlier talking about this exact same thing. But I agree wholeheartedly. I think their is Clinton Fatigue in this country. When Obama offered an alternative the Democrats took it. The GOP celebrated it. Now their only problem is they have (GOP) replaced one demon with another.(IN their Opinions)

And, looking at the daily tracking chart over the past several weeks, both candidates have been hovering in the mid-40's the entire time. Seems to me, that it's always been a close race. So, it's not like *today's* tracking numbers are any sort of aberration – if anything, they are a confirmation of this long-term trend. Nothing new here.

I'd have to see a week of results from more than one pollster showing the gap narrowing before I drew any conclusions about Obama's support sagging. However, I do agree that it's likely that many people may be taking a breather and the undecideds are up — but again, I'd have to see more than one pollster and more than one poll.

Kill Hillary. Not literally but kill her chances of ever being president. Now that they have seemed to have done that I think both sides are standing back and saying……….Lord almighty…….We've been waiting for this day for 20 years and its finally here.

Now what?
