It is about 30 minutes away from when I expect the New Hampshire primary results to be announced. By now we are all fairly certain that Barack Obama is going to win the primary for the Democrats. The question is why....
It all has to do with exactly what he is talking about...change.
The American people are longing for real change in this country. We have two candidates who are siding on the voices of change and one who is voicing on the side of the establishment. Obama and Edwards are quickly morphing in to the same candidate so why is Obama getting so many more votes than Edwards is? I'm going to say it, it's because he is black.
After years of not being listened to the American voting public is tired of being ignored. They are sending the message to not only the current president but to the rest of the world can't ignore. We are ready for a change. Yes we could vote for the white guy with the same message, but hey, it's just another white guy as the President of the United States. So instead we are going to pick the black guy because hey, we've never done that before.....
We want change....we are hungry for change.....
I will be voting for Dennis Kucinich because here in Michigan only Clinton, Kucinich, and Dodd are on the ballot (have to love primary politics) and well, with Dodd out....guess I need to go with who's left :)
Go register, go vote...you don't vote, you can't complain.
