Um, living my life, and I pretty well knew what ROFF would generally contain - a bunch of guilty white "liberals" gloating and congratulating themselves on how wonderful they are for having voted for a black guy who was gonna "change" everything and a coupla-three of clueless old farts railing against it all. As for me, as I said, it changes nothing and there is no way whatsoever to know what or how Obama might do, so commenting on what he _might_ do is premature. He was an unknown quantity on Tuesday morning and he'll be one until at least he is sworn in. About all that I would offer is that he better be VERY careful about what he does as neither he nor Dems got anything remotely close to a "mandate from the people" (no, the "popular vote" total is not terribly reflective if you analyze it). I hope he lives up to even half his hype, because if so, he'll be a decent President. And to quasi-quote a moderately well-known black comedian, "Obama, you're in, brother...for God's sake, don't lose yo' damn mind..." His supposed choice of Rahm Emanuel for CoS doesn't bode well. And there you are, R |

TC, R Define a 'landslide'. http://tinyurl.com/55x7a8 Well, look at like this - looking at it from the "mandate" side (which isn't the actual election via Electors) there were roughly 120 million votes cast and two states, New York and California, accounted for a little over 4 million, or roughly half the difference, and 6 populous "Dem" states (states that were almost certainly going Dem regardless) CA, NY, PA, NJ, Mass., and Ill., account for most of the difference. The outcome would have been the same whether 3 people in each had voted, 2 Obama, 1 McCain or 30,000,000, 20 mil to 10 mil. I guess one might say Obama has a "mandate" from the people who were going to vote Dem regardless, but... On the Electoral side, 7 states with a combined total of about 600,000 votes difference that would have put the election the other way. All had extremely high minority turnout, such that it appears to have either swung the election or contributed significantly to it. Is this "bad?" That's in the eye of the beholder, I suppose, but I must say and I would say all rational people would agree that _IF_ the primary reason for those votes were FOR mere skin color, that's not "good," just as I would say and all rational people would agree that votes AGAINST mere skin color are "bad" - either way, it's racist. Obama essentially used the "vote for a brother" strategy in several states - what would you think if McCain had used a "don't vote for the darkie" strategy? It's the same thing - do or don't do based on skin color. IAC, given that a relative few voters in a relative few states "made the election," I'd say it isn't "a landslide" and further, given that in popular vote, the numbers are very concentrated, I'd say it isn't "a mandate by the people." Nothing in the above should be construed to take away from the fact that Obama won and clearly so, but it simply isn't, objectively, "a landslide" or "a mandate." HTH, R --riverman |

Oh, you mean they did not use the "Don't let the darkie vote strategy," and the "don't vote for the darkie" strategies? (Fibb meter overload) And what was all that stuff that was being made of the Obama's knckle wrap etc.? Richard, Richard, Richard When has the dominant party not run the "fear the darkie" strategy, primarily in the South, and Southern midwest.? Dave |

And there you are, R I might disagree, as Emmanuel will keep the more-liberal House of Reps in line, as Obama develops his program. It might work like this: Obama's team develops an initiative, ole Rahm steers it though house intact(ie: without Pelosi et al ****ing it up), while Biden shmoozes the Senate. This may prove a very successful approach, time will tell. Tom |
