Power to the people! Well...sort of.

Other bits of news; once again I was proven to be correct. You only have to watch the final few minutes of any sporting event to learn all that is important about it. And I suppose it’s the same for political events as well…except that they won’t leave us alone! I can hardly wait until Wednesday morning. There will be blessed silence for a day or two while the chosen candidates regroup and focus. Then the attacks will begin in earnest.

If I were to bet on Super Tuesday, I would say that John McCain will come out on top for the Republicans. And that’s a good thing because it will divide their party. If it doesn’t, then some of the Republicans will have to eat crow and they simply hate doing that! Either way, it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people.

I think the Clinton/Obama race is far too close to call. But what a shame it is that the Richardson message wasn’t heard by the masses. His failing? He was obviously too intelligent for the job.

Which makes me think; what is the motive for these presidential hopefuls? Same question for either party. Do we really believe that they are only interested in doing good for their fellow citizens? That they are altruistic to a fault? Over achievers in the field of human relations?

Of course not! They are greedy for power. It wasn’t always so; back in the days of the ‘smoke filled room’, some presidential candidates were offered up to us as sacrifices for their party. ‘Accidental’ candidates. And some became ‘accidental’ presidents while the party retained control. But now that the stakes are higher than they ever were, the lust for power is ever more blatant. And definitely more expensive!
