The Democratic Race

Being a political junky I have been following the Democratic race closely. It’s refreshing that there is a battle going on for the primary instead of just having an anointed leader and it’s even more refreshing that the establishment candidate is struggling to keep up.

Obama v. Hillary, the epic struggle for the Democratic top spot has seen some of the best and worst come out of people. We see the best when energized crowds are flocking to Obama events, we see the worse when candidates are backed into the corner and they decide to mud sling to try to gain some ground. A perfect example is the time leading up to the SC primary and how negative the Clinton camp went to try to knock Obama down. I think we may have passed a threshold now where the general populace has gotten sick of the negativity and the divide that has been crippling our country for some years now.

The Clinton years in the White House were overall good years for the country. However if she were to win the primary and then the general we would have a dynasty of Bush-Clinton dating back to 1980 when Bush Sr. was the vice President. Our country is better than cycling through two powerful families for our leadership.

During this election period, people have falsely stated that Hillary and Barack are of equal agreements on all the positions. Hillary has made some significant choices as Senator to make me question if she would be a leader that would represent me, choices like:

  • Support of the Iraq war before it became popular to dislike the war
  • The Clinton/Liberman investigation of video games
  • Her support that the Iran Revolutionary guard is a terrorist organization which is defacto support for military action against Iran

Obama has separated himself successfully as an elected official that wants to get the job done and in doing so that takes cooperation from both sites. I truly fear if Hillary is in office the great divide will continue.

Obama has been doing quite well as of late. The “Super Tuesday” primaries helped propel him to a very close race of delegates the “Chesapeake Primary” saw his victories reach 60% in MD, 64% in VA, and 75% in DC which gave Obama a nearly 100 delegates to Hillary’s 50 delegates and in doing so gained the title of front runner.

There is a still a ton of races coming up, including HI, WI, OH, RI, TX, VT, WY, MI, PA, GU, IN, NC, WV, KY, OR, MT, SD, and PR. Hillary has developed what the Main Stream Media has coined the “Giuliani Firewall” focusing her campaigns on the three big states of OH and TX and that test will come on March 4th. While Obama is enjoying leads in most of the states and territories mentioned Hillary still have leads in OH, TX, and PA. We have seen Hillary have big leads in states only to see them erode to very close wins or stunning defeats and I would not be surprised that if she does not win OH and TX by 60% margins the DNC and general public will be calling for her to step aside. If she does win then it will likely come to a battle of FL and MI unseated delegates which will bring a major set of headaches to the party.

Like I have been saying, this is one hell of an interesting race!

LTParis, alive once again

OK. I know I know. This site has been going through so many face lifts, so many versions, database v. static, WordPress v. Joomla!, it just never ends.

I’ve decided to resurrect as much data as I could from past versions and put them all here on my new blog and that would not be possible if it were not for the Wayback Archive.

I hope you enjoy the show!

Xaia and the train set

 Xaia’s got a new toy, the Alphabet Train Station from VTech and she just loves it.

Xaia is 1 year old

So Xaia has now been around for a year now and what a year it has been. To cap off the celebration we bought her some cupcakes so she could just “have at it”. She decided that she didn’t want to be messy and just picked at it.

We of course had to get some Xmas photos done this year. Xaia was suprisingly good although she was always on the move!

Xaia went to see her Aunt play vollyball

 We decided to take a trip to Danbury to go see Danyelle’s sister play vollyball at West Conn. They finally won the set (surprisingly) and Dez didn’t injure herself in the process.
