Digg ThisSo I’ll have a flurry of posts tonight, as I am sitting in the studios at WKYC TV-3 in Cleveland getting ready to report on tonight’s debate between Democratic Party candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
So what is an Independent voter like me doing covering a Democratic Party debate?
Personally, I really don’t see a Republican winning this November, considering how borked this country is after 8 years of Republican George W. Bush: $3.00 per gallon for gasoline, $15 billion per month going to the war in Iraq, a serious health care crisis coupled with a sub-prime mortgage lending crisis, declining education, millions of jobs being exported overseas, and a generally flagging economy combine to make this year a disaster for Republicans.
My sense is that people here are desperate for change. What worries me is that history has proven many times that desperate people can do desperate things — and we’re here relying on people who are masters at manipulating the media.
Feel free to comment!

While people in Cleveland appear to be desperate for change, our history of overt conservatism concerns me. Ohio and especially Cleveland tend to shoot themselves in the foot over and over again. They tend to vote as they always have and believe the stereotypes they’ve always believed. I truly hope they have educated themselves enough for this Presidential election to give America what it deserves!
