My boss said something interesting to me Tuesday morning. “What do you
think about a Clinton/Obama ticket in ‘08’ I said that sounds like the
media’s golden ticket. I had read a few articles about this subject,
but mostly they said, wow, what a dream team. Of course that was the
liberal media bias talking. A dream team? I’m not so sure. A Liberal
team? Most certainly! Besides Obama has announced he will move towards
running for President. I love how all of our candidates announce their
exploratory committees and how they are ‘thinking of running’, but need
their committee to help them decide for sure. It’s a big joke. We
already know who is running.
I think what we are seeing here is
a pattern regarding certain candidates. Prior to the primaries even as
early as a year away from them you get a media blitz on one or 2
potential presidential candidates. Mostly, because the media is so far
to the left, it has to do with the democratic side. For example, this
year we have Obama. Pretty isn’t he? Well, he likes Monday Night
Football too! Last election we had John Edwards. He was pretty too. But
this year John Edwards, who is running, will have to take a side step
because Obama is blitzing onto the scene! What does this say about the
media? You can tell they are very ‘Hollywood’ in their selections.
Note, that Edwards did not win his parties nomination, John Kerry did,
however, Edwards decided he would run for vice president. Will we see
the same thing in ’08? Hillary Clinton winning the nomination and Obama
walking beside her for the VP? Possibly, if history repeats itself.
No
candidates in 2000 could live up the Hollywood standard, so they went
with the sitting VP. In the primary, you had Bill Bradley losing
horribly to Al Gore, and Gore picked Lieberman has his running mate. So
could it be, that our nation’s media has been ‘Hollywoodized’ since the
2000 election? Most certainly! The whole election seemed like a movie
with court room drama and people yelling and protesting. I think more
people watched the reports of the election issue than any other TV show
at the time. The media needs its ratings.
The republicans are
missing a young, attractive candidate for 2008. They do have an
attractive, charming former governor, however, in Mitt Romney. What a
smile! Somehow I think we will see the wicked witch of the party vs the
war hero (McCain), ultimately, slug it out and whoever is left standing
will win. But there is a lot of time between now and primary day. And
even after primary day there’s a long time to the next caucus day. Just
remember anyone with the lead can ultimately lose it, just ask Howard
Dean.
