Compare and Contrast

I often think that we need either a third party, or sort of a split of the two parties so we can get more options, but I see the benefit of a two party system also. But, I maintain no allegiance to either party. However, the Democratic Party is becoming more appealing everyday, while the Republicans run away from me.

Go the official National Republican website and the official National Democratic website. You will begin to see what I mean. What do these two sites have most in common? Barack Obama. He is featured on both sites prominently. He being mentioned on both sites should come as no surprise but, Sen. John McCain takes a secondary role on his own party's site. I fully expect the opposing candidate to be bashed on a party's website, but that should be secondary to the positives of your own candidate.

Anti Obama links are prominent on the RNC website, while voter registration and calls to actually educate yourself are on the DNC website.

The Republicans are known for their negative campaign tactics but, they should learn a lesson from the Democrats. The Democrats learned in 2004, that you cannot run against a candidate, you have to run a candidate. The Anybody But Bush campaign that was the 2004 Democratic Presidential campaign was unsuccessful. No matter how unpopular your opponent is, you must first prove why your candidate is superior. Also, Obama is far more popular than Bush.


Bottom Line? Get used to hearing President Obama.
