...because this nomination fight won't and can't be decided by some calculation like "who has done more evil during the campaign so far?" ("Evil" being things like hinting to the apparent role of Obama's race by Ferraro or criticizing Obama's pastor's sermons...)

You who insist on Clinton-backers having to provide a long detailed list of wrongdoings by Obama's camp since otherwise Obama just has to be anointed leader of the nation because the bad, bad Clinton-camp has committed such an awful lot of political crimes against HIS will:

Wake up at last, this is a nomination fight between two politicians who are — both of them — not heaven-sent but bare humans who in the bottom of their harts are utterly convinced it should be their turn to put up residence in the White House, Washington DC.

There simply isn't such a thing like a natural right (god-given?) for Obama to win this. Hello again, do not fall back in sweet slumber! There simply isn't!

Of course Obama has some more delegates on his side. So what? Can he get the majority of convention votes by own strength? Can he win big states that really matter in the actual presidential race?

And, to state the obvious: The super-delegates are part of the game and they may and will have to decide what's best for the party and — even more important — for the country, maybe even for peace on earth. If they have to strictly follow the line of primary voters (and caucus-results! how democratic are they really?), who invented these super-delegates in the first place and what for? Anyone?

Gosh, some of you ought to have a look in the mirror while you scream loudly "bloody murder" at the Clinton-camp.

Again, this is politics and not the breaking of a new age for mankind just because you adore your guy so much, which I consider kind of psychologically off in the first place. Do like him, do support him. But please, don't treat him like Jesus. (And IF you DO treat him like Jesus: don't blame those sinners against him, because they are necessarily part of the game. Read the bible!)

A bit more patience with what primary voters in Pennsylvania are going to say would do you good. Maybe Obama wins there, and everything will go his way.

Or maybe he's not able to win there. So why should Hillary not go on and convince her party?

Why can't you just show

a) a bit more confidence in your man being able to win the upcoming contests and

b) a bit more comfort with the fact that the Democrats have 2 quite brilliant candidates?

The game's not over, and you won't put it to an end by screaming louder every day. And remember: Hillary is NOT the Antichrist.

Maybe you just can't stand it Hillary is not just going away but boldly continuing her effort to reach the nomination?

Maybe you can't and don't want to respect that Hillary is just as boldly convinced of herself being the right person to do the job as Obama is?

Maybe you are all caught in the shimmering vision of Barack being the Messias of American Politics and not just another politician desperately seeking power?

Why don't you face the obvious fact that this cleverly devised show Obama is starring in is just that? A man of quite liberal background, a good preacher-orator indeed, young and smart, all very fine - but can and should this really be enough to be granted the most powerful job in the world, in times like this?

What I mean to convey is a certain sense of understanding for the opposing candidate who - as a politician with quite some history - just can't play the same kind of play of being somewhat above "all the dirty political stuff". She just is, to some extent, a normal politician.

Of course, she is also one of the very few women featuring so prominently and she happens to be a former first lady, and yet: she has not just come out of nowhere offering and promising all things to all people.

(I admit: maybe Obama is actually able to deliver on what he promises. But "maybe" is a little bit short of enough, isn't it?)

So when Hillary is not ready to play along the rules of Obama's game, what's there to get so angry about? Of course she will handle her opponent as just another politician whose words and deeds have to be judged and are open to being questioned.

Wake up folks, politics "as usual" haven't ended and they won't any time soon, not even if Obama becomes the Democratic nominee and consequently president, which I frankly doubt.

So just accept the rules of the game. If you can't stand a fair amount of campaign tactics and a sharp remark here and there, you better stay home.

Yes, I like a politician being honest and fair and morally upright and stuff. But not to the point of utterly naive wishful thinking.

It's been too long already that Obama has enjoyed almost a free ride with all his self-aggrandizing behavior on the route to righteousness. After all, he's a human and maybe seldom even a sinner, or isn't he?
