I think that I’ve figured it all out.
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 01:40 AM by countmyvote4real
The Clinton machine is going American Idol/Project Runway, etc. If that’s the story the COM want to tell, then that’s the story they are going to portray.

Beginning tonight all subsequent primaries will be approached as episodes of “America’s Next Top President.” And of course, the prizes are delegates since the corporate sponsors will deliver their part in the form of campaign contributions for a later return on their investment. Whether or not the corporations renew their support of the HRC series in the general election can only be determined by the results of the GOP primaries.

It’s not clear, in truth it’s not “expected” that the GOP candidates have figured any of this out yet. This is most ironic when one considers that Willard Romney has much more Britney potential than HRC. Americans need to know which candidate can ultimately walk the runwray and eat a bug.

Only the “registered” voters can tell or respond. The US does not currently have a National ID that could keep track of almost anything or action (Imagine if your toilet was privatized and subsequently linked.) Without this burden of proof, some have suggested that crossover states could unfairly misrepresent the national trend.

Why? Why? Why can’t we weight this judgment with the benefit of a supermodel? I don’t care if it’s Twiggy or that crazy Janice Dickinson. There’s no way that we can decide this on our own. Of course, I’m assuming the “weighted” supermodel judges will examine the records of the contestants/candidates. Lord/God/Whatever (It’s an expression) knows that I don’t have the time to figure any of this out for myself. They playbook says that I’m too caught up in the story to pay any attention to the details.

Nevertheless, the Clintons are on to something. They want to know what it’s like to be a returning Jeopardy winner. Are they crazy? The restoration of US international prestige is a great cause, buy don’t they know that the US is a terrible prize these days? (Been there. Done that. Shook hands with the asshole. Not so bad now that the Clintons are in the club.) On the other hand, it could be a bargain considering that it is beyond speculation that the US economy has entered a recession. “It’s the economy, stupid.” How lucky can you get?

Or how stupid and manipulated can you get?

I have not endorsed any Democratic candidate in this post. I cannot endorse or vote for the top storyline favorites. Just look to their record and subsequent reflections to evaluate your opinions and subsequent influence. (Once again, race, dicks and pussies don’t count.)

Can we just look at the facts?

A facade.

2. What facts?
If you've looked at the facts and still haven't made up your mind, you're not going to -- you're waiting for an official nomination to make it up for you. It's cool.

I've tried reading this twice, and I'm still not sure.
