If Not Now, Then When?

It has been 100 years since I last sat down to ruminate. The largest event in the last month or so has been Senator Obama continued pounding of Senator Clinton. While I lament the troubles of Senator Clinton, I have decided to throw my support to Senator Obama. While I believe that Senator Clinton would make an excellent president, I think that she would be more of a lightening rod from which conservative pundants and voters would rail and rally against. As much as I would like to see a tough, bright woman as president, I don't want to give conservatives that opportunity. I also think that Senator Obama has generated his own share of excitement with his oratory skills and his vision.

Next week is Ohio and Texas. It will be interesting to see how the vote comes in from the blue collar heart of the rust belt, and the Lone Star State.

Nineteen?

Conventional Wisdom: If you give New England's coach, Bill Belichick, two weeks to prepare, he will beat anyone. I don't know what his record out of the "bye" week is, but it is very good. I know a lot of people are supporting the Patriots just to see a team go undefeated.

Momentum favors the New York Giants, who have come out of nowhere to form the "All-Joe" team who has won ten road games in a row. Broadway Joe has come out and "guaranteed" that the Giants are going to win. I am not sure how many people are taking him seriously.

I guess that I would have to vote for the Patriots. I like there system of not paying anyone too much. This is a team game, and someone, they have taken all of them "one game at a time".

It would be nice to see a close game, but I have to say I think a close game favors the Giants and their big running game. My call for a score is Patriots 27, Giants 21.
