Camelot Rises: 1960 and On

[badgate]

Two thoughts:

1) Wow, Kerry won CA by 6.

2) I hope hope hope if Allen is the 'Pub nominee you insert his Macaca speech to the fall campaign.

Kerry did win CA by 6, hence the reason it is Kerry red. I may or may not have plans for the Macaca speech.

Rodham, Obama Nominated in Denver

AP - August 28, 2008

Senator Hillary D. Rodham (D-NY), ex-wife of the disgraced former President Bill Clinton, was nominated today in Denver, Colorado. She tapped Governor Barack Obama (D-IL) has her running mate. Governor Obama became the first african american to serve on as a nominee from a major party. Senator Rodham became the first former first lady to become a Presidential nominee, as well as the first unmarried person to become a nominee in modern times. In her speech, Senator Rodham distanced herself from her former husband in a very similar speech to that which former President Al Gore gave in 2000. She also called for the creation of a “more perfect union, where all Americans are treated equally under the law no matter their sex, age, skin color, or sexual orientation.”

Virginia Senator George F. Allen (R-VA) was nominated this evening in Saint Paul, Minnesota at the Republican National Convention. He announced that Florida Governor Charlie J. Crist would join him on the ticket, as his Vice Presidential nominee. Many cited this chose as an attempt to moderate out the ticket. In his speech, Senator Allen announced his support for continuing many of President Giuliani’s policies, including the No Child Left Behind program and repealing the federal assault weapons ban.

Governor “Macaca”?

AP - September 19, 2008

Senator George Allen (R-VA) caused a massive controversy this afternoon at a picnic/fundraiser in Mint Hill, North Carolina. Senator Allen, talking about his opposition on the Democratic ticket, said “You’ve got Senator Mrs. Clinton and Governor Macaca spending all their time in the big cities. I’m out here in the countryside, in the real America.” Macaca, in Portuguese, is a female monkey and it was a long standing tradition for white supremacists to refer to African Americans as monkeys. When asked about his use of the word “macaca” Senator Allen said “It was gibberish. I couldn’t remember his [Obama’s] name, so I just put some syllables together. I don’t speak Portuguese, I didn’t mean to call him a monkey.” Senator Allen’s vice Presidential nominee, Governor Charlie Crist (R-FL) has been out on full damage control since the Governor Macaca controversy.

Rodham, Allen Debate in St. Louis

AP - October 15, 2008

The first of two Presidential debates was held tonight. Senators Hillary D. Rodham and George F. Allen met at the University of St. Louis in Missouri. The debate was moderated by NBC’s Tom Brokaw and was held in a town-hall style format. The most intense moment came when a young African American man asked Senator Allen “Am I macaca, to you?” Brokaw was clearly not prepared for this question and told the audience that that was not one of the pre-approved questions and tried to move on to the next question but Senator Allen held the debate up for 5 minutes with his response. “I did not know what I was saying would be offensive. I was just saying some sounds because I couldn’t remember Governor Obama’s name. Yes, I forgot his name and I said something that the mainstream media blew out of proportion and distorted. I was not being racist, I am not racist, and I have never been racist.” A policy difference that came out of the debate was that Senator Clinton announced her support for a National Health System “which would provide a nationalized healthcare system - much like the one we see in the U.K.” Senator Allen, once he recovered himself from the macaca controversy, said that he would not support a NHS, saying that is “is one step from socialism.”

Obama, Crist Debate in Portland
AP - October 23, 2008

The two Vice Presidential nominees, Governors Barack Obama of Illinois and Charlie Crist of Florida, sat down across the table from each other at the University of Southern Maine and debated for 90 minutes. The debate was moderated by CNN’s John King and focused on the economic crisis. Governor Obama tried to tie the Republican ticket to “the failure that is the Giuliani presidency” but Governor Crist shrugged it off and instead presented his ticket as “a voice for the working people, the ones who are struggling under this sluggish economy.”

Final Debate Held in Columbus

AP - October 31, 2008

The final debate of the Presidential Election of 2008 was held this evening at Ohio State University, between Senators Hillary D. Rodham and George F. Allen, and was moderated by CBS’s Katie Couric. The main focus of the debate was the economic crisis and the candidates’ response to the crisis. Senator Allen advocated for “rugged individualism in the face of this sluggish economy”, drawing an odd connection to former President Herbert H. Hoover - who many economists blame for causing the Great Depression. Senator Rodham argued in favor of a bailout of the “Big Three, American, automakers”, as well as regulatory reform to prevent “too big too fail” banks.

Stephanopoulos: We have a very close race at this hour. The biggest political scalp of the night is the Indiana will go to Senator Rodham. This is the first time a Democrat has carried Indiana since her ex-husband in 1996 and that win was only because of the vote splitting caused by American Business Party candidate Ross Perot. We’ll be back with more projections.

Stephanopoulos: That was a major call we just made. Senator Allen will lose his home state of Virginia to Senator Rodham. This has got to be a major blow to the Allen campaign. It’s hard to see the Allen campaign coming back from that, coupled with their loss in Indiana and Colorado.

Joining her in the White House will be the nation’s first African American Vice President, Governor Barack Hussein Obama. This is a night that will certainly go down in the history books.
