HILLARY CLINTON VS BARACK OBABMA: Google Trends data shows 'Barack Obama' leading 'Hillary Clinton'.
SO WHAT? Here's why:
Google ratings mean nothing in predicting election results.
Why not? It only represents active internet users. (Skewing younger, demographically.)
However, during a Presidential election all the little ole ladies and older, non-internet savvy users come out to vote.
So as much as I love Google for all that it is, and am excited about their new "Google Trends" (BETA), this is a very unscientfic analysis, unless you are tending a certain pyschogrpahic.
And now, since it's Sunday...Here's a little political, first amendment humor, brought to you by Election Press' ZUMA DOGG, in Los Angeles, CA. I guess you are not allowed to wear a Gene Simmons mask to protect your identity during "public comment", even though it is "protected expression" under the Brown Act and First Amendment. (Political comedy with a point. If you don't walk up to the line, for a "first amendment check" every once in a while, you may find the line continues to get pushed further and further back by your elected officials. More to come. Don't be fooled by the "diversionary" issues that will be discussed this election season. Stand by and make a "Google Alert" for "election press".

HILLARY CLINTON: IS THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL FOR A RECESSION STARTING IN SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR?

IS THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL FOR A RECESSION STARTING IN SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR?

Here's a question I would like to hear Hillary Clinton, and each candidate for US President 2008 to weigh in on.
Oh no...Sen. Chuck Shumer/NY just told Zuma Dogg (indirectly) that we are gonna have a housing bubble-burst and recession starting in about a year. (With the effects starting as soon as six months.) SELL NOW!
They got these things called “sub-prime lending” (high risk, low interest loans). When you have a good economy, you can give some “riskier investments/clients” these low interest loans to jumpstart their American dream of home ownership.
They only pay 1% or 2% the first three years, or so. Then, the rate jumps to the Federal rate (what is it, 5.5%, or something.) Well ZD feels it might go to of 6%, 7% -- is 8% out of the question?)
When the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, more people with subprime loans default. Why? Because these people, coming off 3 year low interst loans, have to jump into a 6% or 7% or even 8 % rate all of the sudden, and they can’t keep up with the new, higher payments each month and then they default.
Well these days, with higer paying jobs being replaced with lower paying jobs; while housing costs, property taxes, and everything else -- people are gonna be defaulting on the loans, more and more. And the banks know that this is going to to become more of a problem, so they are going to stop approving these “low prime lending” rates.
Sen. Chuck Shumer/NY has a bill in congress in about six months to a year they are going to put the clamp down on “sub-prime loans”. This is a major sign that the housing bubble is gonna pop. Then, all these condos will be staying on the market, vacant -- getting cheaper and cheaper by the quarter.
L.A. is leading the nation in this housing bubble burst, as vacany rates in Los Angeles continue to increase, due to people moving out of the CIty for all the reasons stated daily by the pueblos.
Come summmetime fuel prices will go hire and the interest rates will go higher....that means good bye sub prime lending, because the default rate will rise along with it.

Hillary Clinton Campaign Strategy: I think it's your "tonality" they don't like, more than your political views -- and that's a shame.
ELECTION PRESS CAMPAIGN STRATEGY SESSION:
To; Candidate Hillary Clinton
Fr: Election Press
Re: Improving Favorability
Dt: 04/04/07
First of all, hello! Campaign strategy, as it will be covered here, means "Marketing Strategy." Below is a Gallup Poll showing all kinds of statistics regarding people's opinion of Hillary Clinton. Many people admire her for traits like strength, stamina, knowledge, Intelligence, determination, tenacity, perseverance, Forthright and outspoken/directness. (Only 45% favorable though, down from 58% in 12/06.)
And her "unfavorables" are up over perceived traits such as wavers too much on issues to her advantage; wishy-washy, too much of an opportunist and don't trust her.
HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU KIDDIES -- BUT THOSE ARE THE TRAITS OF EVERY POLITICAN!!! Now some of the unfavorables were over he liberal and overall political views, and you are going to take some negatives no matter what your political views are. So let's address the other unfavorable traits...
PEOPLE DON'T VOTE BY LOGIC AND REASON...THEY VOTE BY EMOTION AND FEELINGS. For example, the fact that in the open ended poll, only 1% mentioned Hillary's views on Iraq, as what they liked about her demostrates this marketing principal.
People don't want to sound shallow and un-educated in a poll, so they will come up with reasons like a "wishy-washy, opportunist they don't trust." But again, that's ALL politicians. So why do all the other politicans get a pass, while Hillary takes a hit?
She just rubs some people the wrong way...NOT because of her issues (most of the people who said they don't like her probably agree with her on the most polarizing issue, IRAQ. Yet she is still rubbing people the wrong way. Again, not the issues: Here's the first thing that needs to be addressed: TONALITY. It doesn't matter WHAT you say, if it is being said in an annoying tone. And here's Clinton's problem: When she is at a calm, lower register she is fine...BUT WHEN SHE STARTS TO RAISE HER VOICE, TO RALLY THE TROOPS AND GO FOR THE BIG CHEER...SHE GETS REAL SHRILL SOUNDING. It's a shame. It's not like it's her fault, per se. Perhaps she can work on a "rally to creshendo" voice that is still powerful and loud, but not annoying. Then they don't really know why the don't like you, they just don't...and make up intellegent sounding reasons.
