In Excelsis Deo

So, she's got that distant "I'm already a leader" stare down coooold. And she's a "god person" as others have called her. She's a self-professed theologian, who won't say where she got her degrees...except for here, the Source Watch Wiki. We get more info, a masters from Virginia Tech. But we don't know where she got her MBA or theology degrees-so much for transparency in government and the officials in government.

Most people would say I've given a third party candidate too much time, but we must examine all the examples. And anyway teh (sic) Star City Harbinger has given her props for having the most vocal supporters. With support that's willing to sound like loons, you have to take it seriously. Why? You provincials may ask.... Because at one point Hitler was an insignificant member of the lunatic fringe. You have to examine the small threat to reality before they place their reality upon us.

Examine her support: They are xenophobic, as the Harbinger suggests. And the Harbinger is an apt name for the only news organization that covered this as it was. Other newspapers have ran this stuff without question. The Harbinger, while relatively new, is showing itself to be efficient in its insight. At the same time, she has received the support of the Independent Greens of Virginia. One can only wonder why. Allen's issues mention nothing about transportation, mass transit, or trains. Is it just that the Greens want to support someone? One has to imagine that somewhere in between the environment and the racism there has to be the National Socialists or anarchists; somebody or something that ties it all together. She's stated that she'd drill in ANWR and we can assume off shore.

To not say completely bad things about those who try, her website is better than Rasoul's.

Here's why she's doing better (and will do better) than Rasoul unless things change. She's trying. Just the exact right amount. Rasoul is out there, but he hasn't made a point of asserting his dominance over issues. His videos show a 20-something with very little speaking experience and who diddles around with words (and a camera person who knows nothing abotu audio or camera angle). Many congresspersons are bad at speaking (believe me), but to beat Goodlatte it will require the type of speaker that motivates complacent people to do something; vote. Rasoul has only a small facebook, etc following. Of course, Allen has none.

But Allen isn't counting on young people, and there aren't enough young people in the district to carry Rasoul over the finish line (one of the ways our man Obama hopes to win). There are a lot of old complacent people tucked into their houses and ancestral areas of the district. People have been commenting, there are new people moving to the area (The Harbinger made that clear), but there are a lot of old people who remember segregation, who supported segregation, and who still use one of the two "n words" to refer to Black people. These are Allen and Goodlatte's supporters. In a perfect world, Rasoul would be able to pull off a Woodrow Wilson, 1912 win. But there are too many people not supportive of Rasoul, the statistics never lie. Goodlatte will win a plurality unless Rasoul can come out and be vocal and effective.

Allen has to be soundly silenced too. We already have too many Virgil Goode's in the halls of Congress and it's only a matter of time before we hear Allen and her supporters shouting about Palestine, Islam, and what happens if, as McCain is hoping, there's another terrorist attack?
