Guiliani’s gone. Edwards exited. A lot of political commentators got it right. Big deal. Now comes the harder stuff. Who’s next?
Do any of the pundits know more than you or me? I’ll admit they have the connections and as such, are privileged to the kind of inside information you and I would probably have to pay for. Still the answer is ‘No.’ In the end, none of them know what is going to happen in this race. And race it is. Down-to-the-wire campaigning and last minute stops to pull out all stops.
As the dust gets kicked up, please don’t let mention of early voting results sway you in your decision to vote. Your values-based vote helps balance those cast by the beauty contest crowd. And for all their reporting, the media seems to prefer that you know as little as possible. Well, less of all things substantive, that is. Have you noticed some candidates are repeatedly overlooked. Most news outlets fail to even mention them. Is it really due to their insignificant polling numbers as claimed or is some agency trying hard to shape the results? Your guess is as good as mine.
But we have a good idea, huh?
Next entry: Supersaturated Tuesday Previous entry: Spending Into OblivionFor ‘values voters’ Giuliani’s exit should be a big deal. For much of 2007 we were told (by the media, mostly) that this pro-choice Republican was ‘the inevitable nominee.’
It is a victory for social conservatives that Giuliani is out, and that’s something to celebrate, at least for a little bit.
While no single remaining GOP candidate is ‘perfect’, they are all pro-life… some longer than others and perhaps to different degress, but they all pro-life.
