So How 'Bout Those Democrats??!!!

It has been exactly three weeks since we have last communicated. A lot has happened in three weeks that has changed America. The Republicans are in danger of losing a grasp in the legislature and Democrats see victory coming closer everyday. I am not a political analyst but if given the chance, I can rationalize my prediction of the ultimate Democrat victory.

George W. Bush and the war in Iraq – October ’06 marks the month with the most casualties in all the years of the Iraq War. Results are not to the satisfaction of many listening to news in our country. Americans feel as if occupation in Iraq is unproductive and deadly for our soldiers and our country. Hugo Chavez has made himself the number one enemy of George W.Bush. Currently, he is in the process of using his control of 15% of American oil to American’s disadvantage. Iran is tired of the threats coming from the Bush administration and has expressed so in the meeting of all representatives at the United Nations. Recent conflict with Korea leave Americans to wonder if President Bush will resort to stretching troops even further for occupation in North Korea. George W. Bush may have a couple years left in his presidency but his influence will fade with the rise in the number of Democratic seats in congress.

Republicans are not known for self accountability especially since the Mark Foley scandal broke out. Due to intense investigation, Republicans within the confines of congress were found to have hid information about previous actions of Foley from everyone else. Not a long time ago, the administration too was under pressure in the early days of reports about cover ups and other scandalous activity. People cannot even trust them to play fair. Use of Martin Luther King Jr.’s image for negative campaigning created outrage among Democrats and even Republicans themselves. Democrats were trusted for progress for it was during the Democrat hold on Capitol Hill and Bill Clinton’s presidency that times progressed and people felt good. So why not have the same mood with that same group of people? The public realizes this and with those feelings acknowledged, there might be a reunion.

The face of the new Democrats is new as well. That new face is Senator Barack Obama. Many are willing to take a chance with the charismatic yet inexperienced Democrat senator. With no experience as an executive leader, many will try to deny his potential. If he rides this popularity wave while it is at high tide, Obama has a chance to win the presidency. Senator Hillary Clinton is also another potential runner but with less of a chance of success. A part of the Clinton White House, she is old where new is needed and not representative of the new Democrat.

My political was straight forward and easy to dissect. This was simply to make a point of what I see coming in our future. Democrats will take over completely but that is only if candidates take advantage of the Republican’s week area and if Democratic voters actually vote. No one knows what can happen but I have a feeling it is something pretty close to this.
