"0."

Wow!!!
Mission Conttrol: “The “Zero” (0) Kids Generation is on board “Future” (shuttle) and ready for lift off!!!”
It seems that the “0″ kids generation have gotten energized, they are on board, and turning up their ipods…

They have heard the ringtone, “Yes we can!!!”
And now they are showing up in massive numbers, ready to write their own music of change for their future…
They are creating cell phone video clips of their generation (and sending them to their moms) that their kids and grand kids will look back at on flat screens video frames on the ceiling…

Yes Mission Control: Get ready for “Throddle Up!”
This is their cultural matriculation!
The “0″ kids are now replacing the “sixties” kids as the most politically involved generation ever… They are changing the culture landscape for the 21 Century and the world will never look the same again…

And their Pied Piper is Barack “O”Bama!!!
Obama is giving merit to that “something” that Elder Mother Morrison spoke about…
This is important for Obama because he is relatively unknown with a short list of credentials. Obama has had to prove himself each step of the way…
If Obama gets the democratic nomination he will have to face off with John McCain…
Then Obama will need all the support he can muster from the “0″ kids generation in order to fuel the necessary force for the escape velocity he will need to overcome John McCain’s gravitational pull…

John McCain has a long list of credentials stretching back some sixty years…
People gravitate to him because of his declorated career and sacrifice…
He is a veteran and war hero…
He has over three decades in government service…
And he is a senior citizen…

In order for Obama to capture the heart of the America people, it will be by mobilizing the “0″ kids generation. He will have to be able to rally this generation (in a symbolic, if not literal march on Washington) in massive numbers to let this nation and the world hear the mantra of their generation , “Yes we can!!!”
This type of rally of the “0″ kids generation texting in one voice, “Yes we can,” will give credence to his strengths and salvation to his weaknesses. In effect, diminishing all the strengths of the Republican candidate John McCain!!!

But (and again the “Big But” in the room), can Obama keep this momentum going???

Now you know, my main interest in this political process is it’s “Cultural Dynamics!” There is a very obvious “cultural disfunction” that is apparent in the Clinton camp. Hillary is experiencing “something” that no one in a political campaign has ever had to factor in before…
The Cultural profile of an African American contender…
The Cultural pros and cons of the game as it relates to a person of color…
It is not that the Clinton Camp under estimated Obama, but simply they don’t understand Obama’s appeal due to his cultural community!!!
The Clintons are use to being the ones who stand up for Obama’s community, but now they find themselves on the outs…

In order for Hillary to beat (if it’s not already too late) Obama, she is going to have to take a crash course in “Cultural Consciousness!!! She is going to have to become conscious of the cultural landscape she is fighting on… She is actually running against herself by not knowing how to disect Obama’s cultural appeal…
Once Hillary become culturally conscious then she will easily be able to see the weak places in Obama’s armor… But (again here is that but) please allow me to say that Obama has planted his roots in deep now and it is going to be hard to root him out…

Earlier I referred to Obama as the “Pied Piper!”
Part symbolism and part fact…
Please allow me to explain my rationale…
Culturally, Obama has become the “0″ kids generation’s vision of hope for their future…
If Obama does gets the majority of the populus vote, but does not win the nomination. The “0″ kids will probably protest by nothing less than not going to the polls or going to the polls and voting for a non-democrat…
This is a cultural phenomenon that I refer to as a “Cultural Backlash!”
It all comes about because of a cultural first where a white woman and an African American man is competing for votes from the same cultural community…
In this case it is two different cultural communities combined…
Without a significant amount of votes from these cultural communities, individually or together, neither candidate would be able to win the general election…

Wow!!!
“Exciting stuff…”

But before anyone counts anyone out,
Remember, it ain’t over til the fat lady sings,
It ain’t over til the last bell rings,
It ain’t over til the checker flag fly.
It ain’t over till it’s over…

Wow!!!
“This is some exciting stuff…”

So Mission Control, We have ignition…
The “0″ kids generation is fired up and ready for blast off…

“0.”
