Weather Tuesday, Florida Primary Prediction

Workout Notes 6.5 mile run (to Prospect and Forest Hill via the river tail and Glen Oak Park), 4+ mile walk. Then: yoga on my own.

The weather is just crazy here; it was in the 50’s this morning; now it is 18 F and dropping quickly.

Other notes
Florida Prediction John McCain in a narrow one, based on the large number of retired military living in that state.

That race has gotten rather nasty.

Meanwhile, we at the Kos are fighting over stupid things though some wrote diaries of substance such as this one.

Elsewhere people have wrote about other things.

If you think that I am harsh on the Clinton campaign at times, well here is one reason why.

Obama is also snubbing the millions of Democrats who vote in the state of Florida.

Barack Obama doesn’t care what Florida Democrats say on Jan. 29.

In a memo released Tuesday, he reiterated his long-standing view that their primary votes will be worthless.

Obama has not been on the national scene for long. Obama needs to learn that Florida has millions of voters. Obama needs to learn that in 2000 a Democrat did not become president because Florida votes were not fully counted. Snubbing Florida is not a winning strategy for Democrats. We suspect that today, Florida voters will snub Obama.

This looks as if it were written for junior high students.

Then check out New York’s NOW chapter hissy-fit over Ted Kennedy endorsing Obama. Note: this is just from supporters, not from the campaign.

But if you think that I am harsh, check this out! Woah!!! :)

Oh well, onward. Tomorrow, I phone bank for Obama for about 1-1.5 hours after work.

  1. I don’t read harsh comments about anybody…well anybody except our current Pres. Seems elections bring out the nasty, hateful, side of people. And who are these people who say nasty things anyway? What makes them so perfect and why should anyone care what they say or do? Good on you for doing your support bit for your candidate. I don’t call or talk to people because I don’t like to talk to people. Give me the old days of addressing and stuffing envelopes. It was way more peaceful and enjoyable. ;-)

  2. Actually, Sis, come general election time, the calls aren’t bad as you’d be calling people who actually *want* to be called (they gave their phone number to the campaigns).

    In 2004, I called many Democrats to notify them of events in their town; most were very receptive, and I even learned some things about how things were going in another part of the US.

    I’ll do it again, no matter who our nominee is.

  3. I’d like to have a Republican to vote for but it looks like both candidates will be Democrats.

  4. Vonster: if you want to tell us: which Republican did you back, and what don’t you like about McCain or Romney?

    Of course, it is easy for me to find things not to like about those two, but I don’t view with Republican eyes so I’d be interested in your point of view.

  5. Thompson – maybe Hunter. The others aren’t really conservatives.

  6. I have to admit that Fred Thompson really surprised me.

    I think that on one level he “had the goods” to get elected, but he just didn’t have the energy to put into the campaign.

    He was telegenic and did well in the debates. I suppose he just didn’t want it bad enough.

    Then again, given his wife, well, I can see why he had better things to do with his time. :)
