Want to be President... Dont Identify with the NorthEast.

Here is the thing. Many people I know think Rudy Juliani will be the next president of the US. I say, not gonna happen. He might be well known, he might be loved my some spectra pf the electorate, but quite frankly, he has a huge problem. He identifies with New York, a NorthEastern city. That will be trouble.

Look at the trend in politics. Who have been the Presidents recently? Bush II, Clinton, Bush I, Reagan, Carter, Ford, and Nixon and Johnson. What do they all have in common? None of these guys identified with the Northeast. Bush II, while born in CT, never identifed with it. Clinton is from Arkansas. Bush I, born in Mass, also never identifed with it and moved to West Texas to be an Oil man, Texas Rep, CIA director, and eventually president. Regan was born in Illinois, but identifed as a Californian. Carter was in his own words "just a peanut farmer from Georgia". Ford was born in Nebraska but identifed with Michigan as his home. Nixon was born in California. Johnson was born in central Texas.

In fact if you take it further back all the way to 1900, the following presidents are NE presidents: kennedy, T Roosavelt and F Roosavelt, and Coolidge. Thats it. Lets review the years they were president. T. Rossavelt(1901-1909), Coolidge(1923-1929), F. Roosavelt(1933-1945), Kennedy(1961-1963). So since 1963 there has not been a Northeastern President. That is 40 years. The country has changed quite a bit in those 40 years.

Also, what a lot of people on the East coast just don't relaize is that you are not exactly the most well liked people. Many people from other parts of the country look down upon you with contempt. And lets be realistic, yall are not exactly the friendliest people nor are you the nicest. Yall have a tendency to really get under people's skin (especially that really annoying Boston accent). Yall tend to be quite arrogant, and look down upon other people. While you might say, "who cares", guess what, it isnt getting YOUR leaders elected to President. The fact is that there is a huge backlash against the Northeast right now. One of the rising stars of the Democratic party is a guy from Illinois named Barak Obama. Think he would be a rising star if he was from Masschestes? Not a chance.

One place this is especially true is in religion. Want to know how people who are not religious are winnign elections in religious communities? Its all in the language: "While I personally do not choose to utilize my spiritual practices to influence me, I realize that some people do and tht is their choice. I honor another person's choice to make the best decision for them." See. This is how you convince people to vote for you. Listen to the Northeastern Blowhards "You idiots. You let your religion guide your actions, which is so wrong. I don't follow your religion, so why should i listen to you." See. this is the way to LOSE national elections. Northeastern candidates have a tendency to say the later or infer the later. Want to keep losing elections? Keep up with your posturing. Want to actually win one int he next dew years, try appealing to Middle America. The REAL middle America. Not what you think it is.
