New year, but is it hopeful?

Tomorrow we start the system up in force, with voting to see who will battle it out for the presidencey. however as we work hard to get the canadate that we want, or feel is the best for the needs that we feel are important, there seems to be a theme showing. As it bitterly cold in Iowa, (and here in red state land it's bitingly cold for this time of year and for where we are) it seems that the fight is turning just as cold as the wind is. the daisy chain of love is now a firing squd for each other. with Obama incresingly getting more and more attack dogish than point to the better points in him, but he isn't alone, there are a few people that are doing that, from Clinton to Edwards to Richardson. it's not one or two but seeming the the whole lot. The GOP had shot each other in the foot weeks ago, the Dems seems to think this is best way to win, Iowa topically doesn't like it when these kind of campians turn mud from love. each one of the Dems side is a whole almost all but Clinton (and now sadly Obama) someone I could be very happy with as my president (thought Obama and Clinton would be a second choice) As you all know I have thrown my hat in for Edwards, for alot of reasons. Mainly it as to do with this "two Americans" stump speeches. I feel that he would be best willing to clean up the belt way of special instrest and special ed ways of doing business in DC, and has shown time and time again he is willing to fight for the little man (and yes he did make money doing it, but you know what starting out with nothing and working his way to what he is today is something very very major) for a few months now the netroots (formally known as Grassroots) has thrown their hats in with either Edwards or Obama while those that have been in or a part of the Beltway stand be hind Clinton, which is fine, but the beltway wisdom isn't working so far. We have all wanted the troops out, or a bigger fight, from the DEMs but beltway wisdom is not to fight but to give in, and really the nation is right and beltway wisdom is wrong. therefore the beltway widsom is wrong, and the backing of Clinton for me doesn't make me feel there is going to be much of a change if she is elected. I have read too much about her to make me feel less than ok with her as president when there are much better ones in the pipe. What ever the out come this going to make for a long and hard winter and a hard fight for the white house over the next months. Just understand more than likely by feb we will have a pretty good idea whom is running on the DEMs side, the GOP who knows.

I wish you well, and those in the red states of this nation, singing the blues makes people listen.
