Democrats will unite behind the successful presidential nominee winner in PA, NY, IL, and MA…OR BLUE STATES that voted for Hillary in the primaries. Those blue states will vote Obama in November if he’s the nominee. Let’s be realistic here! They are both great candidates and no doubt would make great presidents. But there can be only one, and it looks like Obama
Obama has garnered huge amounts of interest from new and young voters, which the democrats desperately need. His fundraising capabilities from the Internet and small donations are unheard of! He was not taken that seriously by Clinton or the other established candidates when he entered the race….little did they know. Now the Clinton campaign feels like it’s been t-boned by a Mack truck.
Obama has the attributes of MLK and RFK and it’s generating excitement in politics like we haven’t seen since the 60′s. Clinton can’t steal republican votes because she is polarizing. Obama can, because his message reaches over to those moderate republicans and independents.
Clinton will not be able to stop the Obama express, only slow down the inevitable. I can understand Clinton’s disappointment; she thought it would be an inauguration, a crowning, and an entitlement so to speak. But Obama came along, her dream shattered with a new one in the making.
Once the primaries are over, Hillary should show some grace and bow out, for the good of her friends in the Democratic Party (DNC), the party faithful and most importantly, the USA. Hillary needs to get behind Obama and start focusing on beating McCain in November.
Hillary will not overtake Obama. Do the math! On the CNN delegate counter, if Hillary wins 55% to 45% on the remaining primaries (highly unlikely), she will still be well behind in the delegate count and popular vote. The Supers would play political suicide, reversing that count.
As for FL and MI Delegates, seat them evenly at the convention 50% Obama and 50% Clinton. They new the rules and broke them. Rules do not get changed in the middle of the game. Their Supers will remain neutral. Clinton can rant and rave all she wants, but she agreed with the DNC decision when the gauntlet was dropped, as did all the other candidates. Obama didn’t even have his name up in MI.
That’s what happens when you try to steal the campaign attention from smaller states that traditionally hold their primaries earlier in the year. Smaller states count too (ask Obama). Obama deserves credit; he has fought tooth and nail for every caucus and primary to date. Even in states that overwhelmingly support Clinton. This is why he is winning and will be the President of the USA. Obama will not quit because he loves his country and the world in which we all share.
It’s time to move on. No more spin, it’s time to win.
