The Race is On

The Presidential race for Democratic frontrunner is reminiscent, at least to me, of a certain competition that took place forty years ago.  The more experienced politician, who had many more political ties had to drop from the race, as it seemed the younger man in the race was more able to ignite a nation.

Mrs. Clinton has questioned Mr. Obama’s oratory power, saying oration lacks the substance of action.  I would agree with this.  Action is like water while speech is like air; when water leaves a nozzle, it falls faster as it descends, covering more and is able to have a greater impact at the ground level.  Although air from a nozzle may be louder than water, it dissipates and loses its strength as it fills a space, with little impact on the ground.

What Mrs. Clinton has failed to understand, however, is the power of principle.  While she may speak of action, it seems she lacks the principle behind her statements.  This is also true of the robotic Mitt Romney, whos is constructed by advisors, funded by personal millions, and is pandering to a Neocon/Theocon sentiment in the Republican Party.  Obama has a certain fire in his belly, but in my opinion, John McCain has more, and his sentiment is founded on principle.  Principle will bring answers to life’s toughest questions, where advisors will fail.  Principle will withstand courage under fire, when populism gives way.  Principle will extend grace when needed, and exhibit strength when required.

Congratulations to John McCain for his win in New Hampshire; let this be my official endorsement of a true American hero.
