Dakar Rally Canceled

Dakar Rally canceled by organizers (CNN) I’m a bit disappointed that the Dakar Rally has been canceled thanks to those terrorist idiots, Al-Qaeda. Just goes to show how ridiculous Islamic fundamentalists are when even something as innocuous as a race is targeted. Not that anyone needs any more evidence on why religious nut bags and terrorists must be eliminated from the world.

Projected IA Results

It’s projected that Obama and Huckabee have won the Iowa Caucus for their respective parties. Not really unexpected, though.

I consider Obama too inexperienced and naieve to be President at this time. Given him four to eight more years in the Senate to see how the real world of international and national politics works and he’ll be a good choice. That and I don’t trust anyone claiming to be an agent of change and yet clings to the old guard party and their trite party line in order to get elected. (This goes for all candidates.)

Huckabee, on the other hand, is too much a religious fruit loop and neo-con fascist to be President with out his presidency becoming a disaster for the United States. Given his political track record, I’ll certainly be considering leaving the country should he get elected rather than watch him try to impose his religious beliefs on the nation. Besides who wants a Republican president that is such a wingnut he makes George W. Bush’s administration look like Reagan and George H.W. Bush look like JFK.

2008 Presidential Race

Once more, the presidential election season has begun. And once again, U.S. citizens are given a rather mediocre mix of choices and the same old two parties. There isn’t even a hint of a viable third party this time around, which is sad really. In my opinion, a nation like the U.S. should have at least four major political parties given our populations size and diversity.

Anyway, back to the Presidential race. Who would I like to see win their primaries?

Democratic Party - Hillary Clinton

Republican Party – John McCain

Will either win their respective nominations? While it is obviously far too soon to be sure I think Clinton I think will likely sow up the Democratic nod but Obama will make it a hard run, perhaps even garnering himself the VP spot on the ticket. I expect McCain will get knocked out by the right wing religious fanatics that dominate the RNC leadership and fear McCain’s more moderate views and willingness to work with Democrats. Instead I expect the Republicans will put up Huckabee (if the religious wing nuts dominate) or Guliani.

As things stand at the moment, I personally think Hillary Clinton will become the next U.S. President but anything can happen between now and then.
