A Little Politics

As we work our way to Super Tuesday I can only hope that people will wake up and see that the last thing this country needs is 4 more years of yet another Clinton. I have nothing against Mrs. Clinton but if she wins it means that we go Bush, Clinton, Bush, Mrs. Clinton. Does that mean that the Republicans will roll out Jeb Bush in 2012 or 2016 if we are unlucky enough to have 8 years of Mrs. Clinton. Dynastic politics is not what this country needs or I fervently hope wants. Especially two dynasties that are so polarizing and devoid of new ideas. 

I was heartened to see Obama win this weekend and by such a large amount. Now only if this momentum helps come Super Tuesday. Do I think that Obama is the best candidate. No, not really but at least he is new and maybe he could help send a different message to the rest of the world by his being black. We like to think that we are beyond race but we all know that is not really true. But if he is elected it would send a message that we can change and look beyond ourselves. 

Now if only the Republicans could find a new candidate this election would be about change. I know that all candidates talk change but very few are ever able to effect change. I'm not sure John McCain works as an outsider and rebel after having served for 30 years in the Congress. Rudy is just a one issue guy and Mitt has no credibility since he is just another white millionaire. Huckabee is interesting but he is to closely tied to the religious right and I think many people aren't ready for another former Arkansas governor.
