The Moderate Voice occasionally runs Guest Voice posts. This one from San Diego businessman Matt Risi is so short, provocative and to the point that it’s a guest comment:
Just An Idea
The parallels between the 2008 and 1968 Presidential Elections are striking to me. Barack Obama with his fiery idealism reminds me of Robert Kennedy. Hillary Clinton and her connection to Congress and a past administration seems a Hubert Humphrey type candidate.
Perhaps with an Obama victory, we can finally find out what might of transpired in America with an RFK victory. Can idealism and enthusiasm really shake up the status quo and create lasting change?
