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 [...]

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 [...]
Jon Huntsman: Obama’s Cousin (Not really)
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, GOP, hillary, Huntsman, Obama, republicans, White House on June 21, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Jon Huntsman’s candidacy helps the political arena because he serves as foil to the other GOPers in the race for the White House. If I remember correctly from junior high lit class, foil is a character who contrasts with another character to highlight features of that character’s personality…i.e. Dr. Watson to Sherlock Holmes…Morris Day to Prince….Dirk [...]
Columnist Cynthia Tucker on Possible Presidential candidate Mitch Daniels
Posted in politics, tagged abortion, agriculture, Conservatives, hillary, Mitch Daniels, moderates, Obama on February 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I want a second Obama term and a recovered economy is a must for that to happen. But, I am smart enough to know that other possibilities might occur. The president could reform what he wants and walk away from the game like running back Jim Brown (President Hillary?). There is a growing chorus in my [...]
Vote in 2010 or Obama Might Skip 2012

When Senators Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton had that private meeting at Senator Dianne Feinstein’s house in 2008, everyone wondered about the details. My gut told me that Obama said he would be a reformer for his first term and if the country wasn’t feeling his leadership, Hillary could have it 2012. My gut always [...]
The Obama White House Needs Some South
Posted in politics, tagged Blacks, Georgia, Herman Cain, hillary, Obama, Sherrod on July 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Is the Obama White House too New England? To me, that’s is an interesting question but I do think the South is not “representing” in that camp as well as it should be. Columnist Maureen Dowd just broke it down and made some compelling points based on the comments of a Who’Who in Black politics. A [...]
Sacrifice: Obama, Hillary and Venus Williams

Did you see the recent picture of the Obama kids greeting the president? After watching the “America: The Story of Us” marathon on the History Channel this weekend, seeing folks who look like me in the White House is a reminder that we came “from a mighty long way.” However, Memorial Day is a reminder [...]
Michelle Obama and Mother’s Day
Posted in Georgia, politics, tagged hillary, Michelle Obama, mother's day on May 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
For Mother’s Day, some mothers need a Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner to make their lives easier and other mothers need an exercise ball to make their lives longer. But, I remember my father saying that Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day were not as important a being nice everyday—that’s the last part of the jazz standard [...]
Understanding Southern Subcultures: Political Parties
Posted in politics, tagged democrats, GOP, hillary, mccain, Obama, republicans on January 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Once and for all: the affection and connections that Republicans have for the GOP is not the same feelings most Democrats have for the DNC. It just isn’t. Other than teachers and union members, people who voted for Democrats in the South (outside of urban areas) are not diehard party faithfuls. The GOP subculture is [...]
Rahm Emanuel out coached the RNC
Posted in Georgia, politics, tagged Georgia, hillary, Jim Marshall, Obama, Rahm Emanuel on October 30, 2008 | 4 Comments »
It finally came to me that the Dem Team is much smarter than they use to be. Don’t think that Hillary, Barrack and John Edwards did not lock the door at a Blue Dogs meeting and say “if you can’t be with us, we understand, just don’t be against us.” What a pretty [...]
