A Man and His Masses

A crowd of approximately 75,000 people came to see Obama in Portland, Oregon, while he's still not even (officially) the Democratic nominee. Imagine how many people will be at his inauguration if he is elected president.

Special Florida

During the past few days I've noticed more television ads from the presidential candidates. Also, many automated campaign calls have been made to my current residence. The candidates are focusing on Florida, and it's nice that they care about my home state (or at least appear to care). Actually, now that I think about it, they're Republican candidates. Democrats aren't campaigning here because the Democratic Party told them not to since Florida moved up its primary. I hope Florida goes to the Republicans in the national election.

Presidential Nominee

I'm going to laugh if the Democratic Party and/or the Republican Party shoots themselves in the foot by nominating someone who probably won't win the presidential election. Some candidates are more likely to win the presidential election than others, no matter who the parties want to be president. For example, the Democratic Party might nominate Hillary Clinton because most members of the party might want her to become president. But Barack Obama might be more likely to win the presidential election than Hillary Clinton. In that case he would be a better choice. My point is that winning the election is more important than winning with whoever you want to become president. Someone in your party serving as president is better than no one in your party serving as president.
