This is going to be a very interesting year.

We are facing a total collapse economically and yet the biggest issue for the candidates and their supporters is this, Rev Wright.

We have Shrillary and as much as I despise the thought I could actually support her I find I do. I think she is the only one with any true plan of attack to better the economy. But.... she seems to be hindered because no matter what she does to fight Obama her camp is called "racist".

Obama stands up says nothing except, "Change" doesn't have to show a single plan nor tell us what "Change" means but it seems to sell. His supporters seem to be the most fervent and fierce group because any time someone attacks him, it's racist. They can't seem to come up with any reason to vote for him except, "Change".

Then we have McCain.... misrepresented "at age 72 he is the oldest man ever to run for president." And people on Shrillary and Obama's teams seem to want to make age an issue. Well, in 1984 a man exactly 6 days younger than my grandmother ran for office... his age then was 73... Of course that was Ronald Reagan. That makes him in his reelection year, 1 year older than McCain. So McCain is not the oldest man to ever run for president.

McCain however, does seem to want to run on 2 issues, "I'm bipartisan and can work with both parties." Which is what George W Bush said in 2000 in his campaign. And McCain seems to want to say "I'm a war hero." But he has no answers to any of the issues.

The press seem to enjoy bringing up McCain Hagee, but up until very recently when they could no longer contain it never said much about Rev. Wright.

The GOP seem to be divided on McCain because he doesn't come across conservative enough, even though no one truly knows what his plans to better the country are.

The Dems are divided and in fighting because of the race card, Rev Wright and trying to figure out what the Hell "Change" truly means.

Meanwhile, the economy continues to free fall, oil continues to skyrocket, we see a shrinking middle class, we see a government totally lost and their biggest concerns seem to be "steroids in sports" and um..... well...... I'm sure there's something else... but it's not even close to a plan to help keep the economy moving forward or to secure the dollar.

I have stated in another post, the smartest thing EITHER party can do in all seriousness is LOSE this election.

And it truly has become more and more obvious to me as we watch the parties from within destroy themselves and their candidates that neither party seems to want to win. 2 of 3 of candidates (the exception being Shrillary) seem to care if they win, it seems more that they wish to make some form of statement. Shrillary, IMHO, only wants to win because she feels it is "owed" to her, yet of the 3 IMHO, she does have the only true ideas needed to campaign on.

So, where does this all leave us? It leaves us with a very interesing election year, followed by a president that will basically be doing nothing but watch us continue to fall into an economic abyss.

But all the issues and subplots and gossip and political maneuvering are making it very fun to watch and get at people's goats as they defend their candidates but have no idea what their candidates stand for... except "Change".
