For the dems at least, the Primary Season is over...

If you’ve been paying attention to the forums, debates and listening to the pundits, you’ve probably come away with the same conclusion:

The Media is going to decide the candidates.

And, for the most part, they already have….


I will venture to say that the front runner status of a candidate is more or less predetermined by the number of times that candidate is mentioned in the run up to the Primaries.

If that’s the case, the Primary has already been decided.

Here’s why I say that:

In virtually every discussion by the media re the democratic candidates,someone will say that the probable winners are either Obama or Hillary.

And if you say that often enough, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Well, I have to say that, folks, based on that criterion the Primary has already been decided.

Tactically, it is almost impossible now that the media has repeated the names of Hillary andObama so often that it is indelibly imprinted on the minds of those not even in the mood to think politics.

So, where do we go from here.

The fact is that all of the other candidates are wasting their time.

And if Hillary and Obama don’t screw up, the rest might as well resign now.

They don’t stand a chance.

Of course, this is no way a Primary should be conducted; only what can you do about it.

All of the rest is wasted motion….

Of course, the republicans are already starting their playbooks and as you well might imagine, the contest itself is not going to be pretty.

Expect the rise of the Swift Boaters once again to pillory whomever of the two who wins the Primary.

This is an offshoot of the more than successful dirty tricks campaigns of Donald Segretti hired by Nixon’s lap dog to do his dirty work and then carried forward by the whole laundry list of dirty tricks players from Lee Atwater to Dick Armey and including Newt Gingrich who only manage to see the other’s failures in the morality department…


Of course, the republicans are drooling over the prospect of having Hillary as their target this election.

Hopefully, Hillary will not make the same mistakes as Kerry in not responding promptly to their innuendos and claims which were nothing but an assemblage of lies…

Like no other time before, we must be tough to take them on and win!

But hope blooms eternal.
