Tomorrow is another "Super" Tuesday. Come on over to eyesonobama.com to participate in the pre-primary discussion in the forums today. And make sure to bring your most honest opinions, no matter whether you're pro-Hillary, pro-Obama, or pro-McCain. 
 
You know that scene in the movie "The Matrix" when that cat dashes across a room - then magically reappears only to sprint in the exact same direction in the exact same fashion across the exact same room? 
 
It wasn't just harmless déjà vu - the repetition was a sign of something much more sinister. There was "a glitch in the Matrix", as one of the characters explained in the movie. 
 
That brings us to this election season. 
 
The political machinery, especially on the side of the Democratic Party, looks like it needs some maintenance done to it. Because we, the American people, are seeing the breakdown of the ugly deceptions of politics during this primary season; we're watching it strip away at the seams. 
 
What other candidate besides Hillary Clinton this election year could have lost 11 primaries in a row, but still remain in the race? Why is the same old song-and-dance repeating itself? 
 
It's like the movie "Groundhog Day", but not nearly as entertaining. 
 
That's why I compare these primaries more closely with "The Matrix": Clinton's misdirections, misspeakings, and redirections actually have some voters believing a sham that's right in front of their eyes. 
 
And for some reason Obama is being rejected by the political matrix right now - he's the glitch. 
 
Pundits all of sudden don't like him both because he's unconventional and because he's consistent. From his handling of the Wright issue to the silly gas tax break issue, these were first the reasons they loved him.

He doesn't say what we want him to say, but instead what we need to hear. And the voters seem to appreciate that as demonstrated in Obama remaining competitive in the last primaries as well as in the polls. 
 
The Wright controversy revealed a man of integrity who is going to be honest. It would have been politically expedient for Obama to have thrown Wright under the bus in the first place. Instead, Obama was pushed around by Wright, so he pushed right back. 
 
I wonder if Clinton had had to face the same scrutiny Obama's had to face over his pastor, whether or not she would have fared as well. But we most likely will never know because this new phenomenon in the world of politics is apparently reserved for only those who look like Obama. 
 
McCain's and Clinton's pastors haven't been placed under the same spotlight to the extent of Obama's to this day. 
 
Polls show Obama is rebounding. That's a feat that a regular politician like Clinton or McCain probably could not have accomplished because they are characters from a movie full of the same old deceptions and pandering.

And frankly, I walked out on that movie a long time ago.
