History Repeating

It's very true that history repeats itself, especially if we never learn the lessons of the past.

Recently it seems that history is literally repeating with the Democratic race to the White House. This race mimics the Governor's race for Massachusetts state governor a few years back. In this race there was a female (Kerry Healey), who happened to be white and an African-American male (Deval Patrick). Again this would have been Massachusett's first female Governor voted into office. [There was one female before her, Jane Swift, who became acting Governor when Paul Celluci left to be the US Ambassador to Canada].

In this race Deval Patrick, like Obama, had a slight lead over Kerry Healey and in the final days Healey's campaign became increasingly negative while Patrick (again like Obama) focused on what he plans to do while in office. Healey's negativity was pretty much the only thing I remember about her from that race. At the time I didn't like Patrick's policies and while I wanted to vote Healey, she just turned me off. I couldn't stand the constant complaining.

The same goes with our current Democratic Presidential race. Obama having a slight lead is being fired upon left and right by Clinton. Now Mass. isn't the best sampling of the Nation but if the same formula holds true then we could be saying goodbye to Mrs. Clinton.

Tonight's debate is do or die. LET'S GET IT ON!
