The trap has been laid by the media to promote the Democrats as the party of bickering and contention, and judging from the posts, one can sense an attitude of disgust for both Hillary and Obama. This is dangerous people. For once, let the process work itself out and vote for the Democratic nominee. The spoiler Bloomberg is waiting in the wings for just such an opportunity and the media will fan this interloper to suppress the Democratic vote to get yet another republican in the White House. So Obama goofed on Reagan (stupid, stupid analogy on the part of Obama) and Hillary has her many negatives that have many of the posters tied up in knots. Let Hillary and Obama debate their hearts out and expose each others inconsistencies. That is what the primaries are all about in the first place.

But don't any of you not vote in the November elections for a Democrat. You saw what happened in 2000 when Nader sucked off the votes in Florida by running as an independent. Debate all you want and let the candidates expose their idiosyncracies. But in the end, if you are a Democrat, vote for the Democratic nominee.

The media wants us to believe that if Hillary is the Democratic nominee, she will invigorate the right wing conspiracy all over again, which will leave no stone unturned in ensuring her defeat and a Republican in the White House. This is what the media, fired and stoked by the right wing, really wants the American voters to believe. But New Hampshire laid waste that argument.

She is not that divisive as many would like us to believe. To be fair, the race issue and gender issue has also been fueled by Obama as well. Let's face it folks. Obama is a cutesy johnny-come-lately to be running for the White House. Sure I am voting for him in the primaries. I am against dynastic rule in secular democracies. But he will not be the Democratic nominee. Affirmative Action did more for white women to get into positions of power than any minority of either gender. Hillary will be the nominee. Do I have a choice after that? Hell no. I will have to hold my nose and vote for, just so another Republican like a John McCain, does not get into the White House and prolong the Iraq war by a 100 years.

Both of you have expressed a staunch support for whoever wins the Democratic nomination, whether Hllary or whether Obama. And here is what I have to say about both of them:

Hillary is certainly not above criticism and should be held to the same standards as the rest of the candidates. However, there has been an appearance in the media of a gang rape of Hillary by their right leaning pundits. That and that alone has galvanized the women to come out and vote for Hillary.

And there was a huge fear that the media was in a mad rush to crown Obama as the heir, very early on in the race. He was not being held to the same standards as Hillary. Moreover, the media was falling over each other to get on the Obama bandwagon so early in the game. Sure he is a smooth operator, lots of high spirited, motivational we can do, united we stand, divided we fall kind of kumbaya to attract the republicans, independents and the chronically undecided. And I know that I too am going to vote for him in the primaries. But he need not be coronated so early on. He needs to go through the same process as the rest of the candidates and be held to the same standards.

Politics is a dirty game and I think they are both playing the game with equal relish.
