What is politics about?

Peter M. politics

Politics is the art of the expected and tradition, as well as the art of the unexpected and the impossible!

What do I mean? Well when a a Kennedy goes into politics and does well, that is expected and he/she is simply following in the footsteps of the family. Of couse it would be expected for a Kennedy to go to politics.

As for the unexpected – look at Barack Obama!

And that’s why politics is great – at least in this aspect.

The suspense of politics is also something – for example, will Terry McAuliffe make the Gubernatorial run for Virginia?

The Wall Street crunch came in a bad time to Political fundraisers. The New York times reports that many fundraisers have a great difficulty.  One campaign financier “had only been given two weeks’ notice to put together a fund-raiser for Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign featuring Mrs. Clinton, and was hunting for hefty checks at an inauspicious time, in the middle of a Wall Street meltdown” other fundraisers found it even more difficult as Fox news reported early today.
