America is tired on the politics of divisiveness and fear that has dominated American politics over the last 7 years, but yet are very hesitant about going back to the 1990s. Yes the economy was great, but how much of that is truely attributed to Bill Clinton policies, how much is attributed to the Republican Congress, or both? I have heard numbers that range from 10% to 30% about the impact of Bill Clinton policies on economic growth. The other major thing we remember about the presidential politics of 1990s were the scandals and a president that was the only other president in American history to be impeached.

Obama is being blamed for dividing the Democrats? Why? He is currently winning the race for the nomination. Wouldn't that make Hillary the divider? People that support Hillary and Obama have said they will not vote for the other, but would go Republican if the other wins. Really? People are really that willing to throw away their principles and vote for a candidate that doesn't align with their view on the issues because their candidate doesn't get nominated? I don't believe it. I think it is all a lot of posturing. Finally, supporters of the candidates need to quit taking a holier than thou attitude and need to stop belitting each other. Nobody here has the infinite wisdom to decree their support is superior and that their candidate is superior. Lets have an honest discussion about honest issues.

As a voter in PA, I made an interesting observation. The Pittsburgh Pirates had the "We Will" slogan for the '05-'07 seasons. During those seasons, the Pirates won only about 41% of their games and, subsequently, lost about 59%. In this time the Pirates suffered multiple losing streaks of 10 games. Ironically, Clinton received 41% of the democratic vote to Obama's 58%. This gave Clinton a losing streak of 10 jurisdictions. They say those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. It now appears that Senator Clinton has become the Pittsburgh Pirates of the Democratic Party. Hillary Clinton was repeatedly stating "We Will...." last night.

I then ask, doesn't look good for who? I think it looks very good for Obama supporters and Texas. It seems that it is still a climb for Obama when reporters or writers put a negative spin on things.
