In New Hampshire The Adults Voted And The Press Are Still Dopes

10 January 2008

If I was a candidate I’d run from Time Magazine photographers. Being declared the next President on the cover of Time is the kiss of death. When I saw Obama’s smiling face on Time’s cover I thought back to Howard Dean.

Thank God we vote for Presidents and don’t allow our news media to pick the next President.

Now the news media is in full retro-intro-spective mode of self analysis of where they got it wrong. Was it Hillary’s tears (actually there were no tears, just wet eyes) or Obama’s dissing of Hillary, that turned the tide? Or was there a Obama tide at all?

Hillary has always lead in New Hampshire. And polling people who haven’t ever voted and most likely won’t does not count. I know Obama electrified the college vote, but so what? What do college students know? They are still living on Mom and Dad’s dime, they don’t work for a living and I’m sorry but college is not a good model of the real world. I’d trust an 18 year old plumber more than a senior at Dartmouth to make a real world decision on who should be President. Waves of college students making the “O” sign over their heads only re-enforces my suspicions of college students.

The country is sitting up and taking notice while the press scrambles to document the momentous changes before their eyes. Students for Barack Obama chapters around the nation have awoken a slumbering giant, never to be quieted again. Keep up the good work, SFBO!

SFBO = Students for Barrack Obama. uh, yeah right! Power to the people man! Problem is college students forget to vote and many of them aren’t in their home states.

Momentous changes, what would that be? The fact that Obama voted “present” over 100 times as a state Senator? Hard to leave a legacy with going out on a limb with that “present” vote. Sorry guys, BHO is not JFK or RFK. But don’t feel bad, Reagan is not running either.

BHO won’t be able to vote “present” on the world stage.

The press will now undoubtedly look at Obama with a very critical eye, for as fawning as they maybe they know their creditability was seriously damaged in New Hampshire and they will want to prove themselves, and their redemption will come out of Obama’s hide.

Sorry guys, I know the internet and TV is filled with self-analysis right now on how you got it wrong. But basically the adults came out and voted. I am no Hillary fan, but I’d take her in a heart beat over Obama, at least she has demonstrated the ability to be pragmatic.

I don’t think a moment of self-reflection or a diss in a debate swayed double digits of New Hampshire voters, give them some more credit than that!

Still a long way to go in the primaries and most of America has yet to vote.

Let’s listen.
