Did Rush Limbaugh create the operational plan in 2008 for Obama/Biden primary success in 2012? At the first public event for the unlikelyalliesproject.com, someone pointed out that Limbaugh created and pushed a national strategy which called for Republican crossover voting. The plan was for conservatives to vote for Hillary Clinton in open primary states and [...]

Michael Steele on Jon Huntsman and Open Primaries
Posted in politics, tagged Herman Cain, Huntsman, Michael Steele, Obama on November 17, 2011 | 5 Comments »
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Michael Steele stated that the majority of GOP primaries are open primaries. Jon Huntsman and Herman Cain aren’t exploring Democrats as a vast pool of curious voters. Polls indicate that Huntsman is the Republican who most non-Republicans actually would consider in the general election. (Watch Steele on this video link from the 1:00 [...]
Open Letter: Regarding Southern Democrats and All Presidential Campaigns
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, GOP, Herman Cain, Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Rick Perry on November 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
If the GOP presidential primary process continues deep into the winter, all candidates will benefit in some way (including President Obama.) We should pause to think about Tim Pawlenty and Mitch Daniels—good guys that most voters never got to know as presidential candidates because they exited too early. Those exits should be a lesson for [...]

Presidential Candidates: Rebranded
Posted in politics, tagged Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Obama on November 3, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
When did branding become so important in politics? A brand, as defined by the American Marketing Association, is a name, term, sign, symbol or design or combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of others sellers. It is about [...]
Obama vs. Cain, the Black Women with White Men List and Other Insults
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Bill Clinton, Black college, Black women, Blacks, Congress, Fox News, Georgia, GOP, Herman Cain, hip hop, Michelle Obama, Obama, youth on November 2, 2011 | 1 Comment »
People get and give insults in the South all day every day. If you have thin skin, you should move. These insults come to mind. The Michael Basiden Show’s list “8 Reasons Black Women Should Date White Men: First, Black Women should date whoever makes them happy and treats them well. But, the list from Basiden’s [...]
Red State Democrats and Hillary’s PUMAs: Inconsequential or Potential Game-changers
Posted in politics, tagged Cain, Conservatives, democrats, Herman Cain, hillary, Huntsman, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, republicans, Rick Perry on October 25, 2011 | 1 Comment »
To hear experts talk, the next presidential election will be decided in a few swing states. Democrats in red states must sit back, donate and watch. The only say many moderates have during the process is the primary elections. President Obama will be the Democrat nominee but should Dems hedge our bets by voting in [...]
Conversation Starters: Hear Me Out/Unlikley Allies Project
Posted in politics on October 22, 2011 | 1 Comment »
The “Hear Me Out” effort under the Unlikely Allies Project is a two-way conduit of information; we seek to listen as well as speak. With that in mind and in the tradition of Helen’s Political Roundtable, we are creating a short simple list of conversation starters which will serve as the foundation of our viral and [...]
Politics and Football’s Veer Option Offense
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, football, Herman Cain, Hershel Walker, hillary, J.C. Watts, Newt Gingrich, Obama on October 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Presidential politics puts college football’s option offense in my mind. Mixing metaphors is risk as we remember Obama/Palin with lipstick on a pig and more recently Herman Cain’s 999 with apples and oranges. Those other candidates at the Western debate knew full well what he was saying. State sales tax will still be there anyway [...]
Double Dog Dare: Primary Vote for Herman Cain
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, Herman Cain, Isakson, Mitt Romney, moderates, Newt Gingrich, Obama on October 17, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Herman Cain’s presidential campaign has created a fascinating scenario for southern voters. Since folks are digging his simple, straight-forward style, I will break it down straight, no chaser. Romney vs. Obama: The White House is prepping for Romney because he is the candidate, as a former moderate, who would be most attractive to centrist voters. [...]
Herman Cain’s drive, energy inspired me to run for office
Posted in politics on October 16, 2011 | 1 Comment »
An Op-ed by Helen Blocker Adams It was 2003 and I was planning my 4th Annual Regional Minority Small Business Conference. My previous events had attracted small, minority and women-owned business owners from Georgia andSouth Carolina with over 100 people in attendance. We were expecting similar numbers that year. But I hadn’t decided on a [...]
“Hear Me Out” -Unlikely Allies Project: A Grassroots Voters Education Initiative
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, politics, republicans on October 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Have the presidential opponents for November 2012 been determined a year early? We aren’t comfortable with that notion because our community should have more say in the matter. Because there is nothing better than a well-informed electorate, we are starting an Unlikely Allies Project called “Hear Me Out” to educate Americans about the primary process [...]
Cain/Huntsman 2012?
Posted in politics, tagged Blacks, Herman Cain, Huntsman, Michelle Obama, Obama on October 8, 2011 | 2 Comments »
When looking at presidential possibilities, two questions should come to a voter’s mind: who do you want to be president and who ensures that the other team’s guy isn’t president. As a centrist Democrat, I want Obama and if someone from the other side became president with a snap of my fingers, it would be [...]
Brainwashed: Herman Cain And Me (Luke 6:42)
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, CNN, Conservatives, democrats, Fox News, Herman Cain, msnbc on October 1, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Herman Cain said Black Democrats are brainwashed and he is right. Also, he is brainwashed and I am brainwashed. Hell, everyone I know is brainwashed to a certain degree by someone or something—some negative and some positive. My dictionary tells me that brainwashing is an intensive indoctrination, usually political, aimed at changing a person’s basic [...]
Natural Resources/Interior Department: Unlikely Allies Project
Posted in politics, tagged church, Indians, National Parks on October 1, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Are we stewards of God’s green earth? A comedian once asked why is the Department of the “Interior” in charge of everything outside. While other departments get more attention, protecting the natural resources of this lovely nation should be a top priority. I loved watching Ken Burn’s PBS Series on the National Parks and some [...]
Uncle Sam and Rev. Wright
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Conservatives, Herman Cain, Michelle Obama, Obama, youth on September 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
For me, being an uncle is an important role and we should all know our roles. Avuncular is an adjective that means “of or pertaining to an uncle.” Uncles and aunts serve as part-time parents like the Parents Reserves—one weekend a month and two weeks per year. A kid may hangout with good old uncle [...]
Starbucks CEO: No Campaign Dollars
Posted in politics, tagged Congress, Georgia, jobs on September 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is on a mission to fix Washington and he is starting with campaign donations. Schultz, who spends more on employee health benefits than coffee, is challenging his fellow CEOs to put money that normally goes to campaigns into job creation. On this blog, we have been saying that for years. In Georgia, [...]
The Entitlement Mentality: Unlikely Allies Project
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, hip hop, Newt Gingrich, youth on September 1, 2011 | 4 Comments »
An entertainer called Chapter recently released the satirical video “It’s Free, Swipe Yo EBT.” I was ticked off until I realized the song was a poor attempt at parody. But, the bigger questions are the social responsibility of so-called artists and the direct effect they have on the entitlement mentality. Warning: strong language If you [...]
Congressional Map: Rep. Bishop and Rep. Austin Scott safe at home
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Conservatives, democrats, Obama, republicans, sanford bishop on August 23, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Georgia’s proposed congressional map is out and I feel just fine. President Obama once said don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. I would have liked my hometown to remain in Rep. Sanford Bishop’s district but we took one for the team. Since my county is GOP-dominated, it’s better for Bishop that we bounce into [...]
Our Youth, Soft Skills and the Chameleon Project
Posted in politics, tagged Conservatives, education, Georgia, jobs, youth on August 11, 2011 | 1 Comment »
What are soft skills? The front of the Albany (Georgia) Herald today has a story about state official Melvin Everson coming to Albany to emphasis soft skills in K-12 education. http://www.albanyherald.com/home/headlines/Officials_Soft_skills_important_in_the_workplace_127499653.html Soft skills include punctuality, ability to learn, appropriate business attire and teamwork. Really? Reading that article was a long blink second for me. My [...]
