Tomorrow is a big day

It's not super-Tuesday, or a mid-term election, but tomorrow, Tuesday, November 3, 2009 is going to be a big day nevertheless. It's been almost a year since Emperor Barry O was elected in what could best be described as a slap on the collective wrist of the political status quo. Unfortunately, during that year, nothing good has happened and fortunately, people are realizing this. In the Virgina Governor's race, Republican McDonnell is looking good for a victory. In New Jersey, the news may not be so good for Republican Christy in his bid for Governor. It's a tight race, but there may be a spoiler in Independent candidate Chris Daggett. If both races go against the Democrats, though, look for things to get very interesting over the next year. It is an opinion held by many that a vote for the Conservatives in these races will send a clear message to the Obama administration and to the Democratic majority.

Finally, it looks like the party-line Republicans have been busy wiping egg off of their faces. I already mentioned in my first post, the NY 23 special election. The Republican candidate, Scazzofava, a Republican in name only, drew support of Newt and many other big names in the party. The problem, Scazzofava is as liberal as Barney Frank. No matter, she's Republican and apparently, that's the most important factor. Well thank God for Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson (among others) who decided that instead of supporting a fellow Republican in the NY 23 race, they would support the Conservative candidate, an Independent named Doug Hoffman. In what I thought was a selfless move, Scazzofava dropped out of the race. Good for her. Not so fast, though. While the Republicans previously backing her have jumped behind Hoffman en masse, Scazzofava has decided that she should back her former Democratic opponent. Right now, the race can go for Hoffman or the Democrat. I'm praying that Hoffman can pull out a win but I think what happened in this race is a PERFECT example of how wrong things are with the Republican party right now. We need a real paradigm shift in the party or we need a legitimate CONSERVATIVE third party.

One last thing... I recently had the pleasure of meeting Henry Kelley, an independent trying to get his name on the ballot to run for Congress in 2010 against incumbent Republican Jeff Miller (Florida, District 1). Go to his website and see what he's all about. Miller has proven to be a politician and we just don't need that anymore. If you want to find out more about Mr. Kelley, his website is ElectHenry.com
