The Desperate One

I have to admit I’ve been rooting for Obama to win the nomination for the Dems. Of the Democratic candidates I feel he has the best platform and seems to most rational. He is not my choice for president. To be honest, no one is. Except maybe Ron Paul at this stage. I am not rooting for McCain who I supported on 2000.

Anyway, Hillary looks done, but she is not giving up. She intends to screw the voters and get the nomination by ramming it down everyone’s throats.

Hillary Clinton will take the Democratic nomination even if she does not win the popular vote, but persuades enough superdelegates to vote for her at the convention, her campaign advisers say.

The New York senator, who lost three primaries Tuesday night, now lags slightly behind her rival, Illinois Senator Barack Obama, in the delegate count. She is even further behind in “pledged’’ delegates, those assigned by virtue of primaries and caucuses.

But Clinton will not concede the race to Obama if he wins a greater number of pledged delegates by the end of the primary season, and will count on the 796 elected officials and party bigwigs to put her over the top, if necessary, said Clinton’s communications director, Howard Wolfson.

Yeah, you read that right. The Clintons believe in Democracy as long as you vote for them. And it’s for reasons like this that I am rooting for Obama. I kind of like him anyway, though I don’t think he can handle foreign policy. In these times, that would be a problem.

Hillary on the other hand would be a disaster in far too many areas. The Clinton’s foreign policy empowered and emboldened Al Qaeda (according to Osama Bin Laden), they were arguably the most corrupt administration in our lifetimes and I don’t see that changing if Hillary were in charge. And talk about pandering. This picture says it all.

I seriously doubt the delegates will do what she wants if Obama keeps winning states. People afraid of her before. But you know what happens when a feared person stumbles and falls. Their so called friends and allies look for some other bandwagon to ride.

No, I think Hillary is all but over. But I want to be sure before I start celebrating. 

The Clintons are like Rasputin - poisoned, shot, beaten with a crowbar, and the dude only died once he was crammed under the ice of the Neva; they found water in his lungs when they recovered the body.

I’ll be wary of the corpse of the Clinton campaign until after the convention…

James: 

In my view Obama is to the left of Hillary, hence I don’t understand your endorsement of him.

During my very interesting life I have been in some extremely uncomfomftable situations.  Hillary getting the nomination makes me as wary as I ever been.  This broad makes me so nervous I’d vote for her opponent whoever it was.

Brock,

I am not endorsing him. I just don’t want the Clintons to win the nomination.

But I do think Obama has some good ideas in his platform. I have read all the candidates platforms and his was one of of the best thought out. I don’t agree with some of his positions, but he does have a few I agree with.

Clinton’s on the other hand is the usual generalities and vague promises most politicians come up with.
