Poll shows Obama with a huge lead in Texas. But.

I have several reasons for skepticism. Chief among them is this polling firm doesn’t even make the list of 38 firms SUSA rated.

More importantly, compared to other polls a day or two earlier, this suggests something major happened to swing a ton of voters so swiftly. And nothing has.

Don’t misunderstand. I think Obama’s capable of achieving a significant win in Texas. But I think he’ll get there gradually, not in a 2 day spurt. He’s keying in hard on the Latino vote, just as Clinton is, and I expect that will make the difference.

For Decision Analyst, sorry, it hasn’t yet earned the cred to be taken seriously. But with such results, it sure is a nice marketing strategy to draw attention to itself. Well done analysis, however, requires validation by others.

    Pease Politics or the Audacity of Hope not talked about.

    We all crave Pease, its serenity, and its bliss; however, the passion in power today as in anytime in history attracts a certain life lust, which spans a human dynamism of sexuality that could be argued is the real truth working in parallel to the divine understanding we all seek. Hence what do we have, Race Integration, yet, Ethnic Sovereignty, Now Individual Rights, were history once looked at life in an on going living scale sliding between Piety and Pagan? Or called War and Pease in the life continuum has to deal with the new experiment called the Constitution that does stretch to individual freedoms.

    So, what the hell am I saying? Jumping through a lot of racial logic to make a point of failed reciprocity Obama will have a burden to work at, a change we could believe in “”?”” Most certainly should have a question mark at the end of those little political signs.

    Our forefather introduced the concept of the separation of church and state, but totally dismissed the ideal of separation of sex and politics. Likely because of that Dynamism of slavery known through the ages exposes a sexual gradient that transcends to manifest an extraordinary random balance in shades of skin color, eye color, vocal tones, a cultural clock connecting perhaps an unknown source of power that resonates the public wondering if good or bad. As an ingredient that plays in a sliding scale of contemporary contextual debate were bad can be convinced to be good and good can be convinced to be evil, were War and Pease in an on going interplay lead and lag both changing places in time. The pace is quickening for we have the Media.

    However, with this thing called a Constitution, Americans find themselves needing to line up Good with Good and Bad with Bad for the simple remedy of what looks ass backwards and corrupt as hell right now to figure a way to straighten it out. Simple how do we get rid of the ghetto and blight to transform it to a garden where any color can live in. Attractive enough for whites to go to Negro community as well as whites not to reject the Negro is still the problem.

    To rain on the parade of Black History month is not my intention, But, I have a dream too, so why doesn’t my dream get some attention? Is being white doesn’t count as much as an American Negro dream in the well spoken words of all men are created equal. Well, all men are created equal, then my dreams should be just as well to count in the march gathering at great monuments and savored fine gardens designed by inspirational minds and created with sweat reflecting the possible perfection, and order in the environment. Far from the Ghetto where great works have space to take, but have been ignored to leave a trail that seems there is always something that needs to be cleaned up. Iraq is an out rage and the best extreme pitiful example of the current disgusting leadership.

    So, in a magnificent sense is Bush correct we need to stay in Iraq for an eternity to see change? But, yet, we have a new comer, Obama, who says we can’t wait, however in his book in the Audacity of Hope, Obama says, he has no clue on how to do this civic change, but will lead us. As hate radio is geared up describing Obama as the Messiah of special acknowledgement in accolades of expressions from a deity to being a cold fish is really something? They are starting to rip Obama apart.
