Veeper's sweepstake Or 99 and One Half, Just Won't Do?
As the politics of personal destruction enter its last primary phase, the internet is ablaze with gossip about the Democrats and republican quasi-scandals capable of toppling even the mightiest ideological icons of the big Left and center Right. Conservatism of big-government taxers and spenders is the Bush legacy willfully endorsed by Team McCain to keep the promise of contuity with the Prez with the lowest popular ratings in modern history of the presidency.
The ultimacy of Hillary is enshrined in civil rights mantras and Post-Al-Gorisms "about counting all the votes to ensure that not one potential delegate is disenfranchised."
To not-count Florida or Michigan delegates is patently discriminatory and denies voting rights constitutionally protected under the voting Rights act of 1965 (you know , the one King bled for, but that he needed President Johnson to sign?)The faux-irony of American black civil rights icons backing the white woman based upon her socialist roots and her promise to further expand the welfare state by socializing medicine does not escape easily.
The fact that Senator Obama will win primaries in Mississippi and the city of Philadelphia but not the entire state of PA does not shed light upon his electability in November. Winning ten to fifteen Red states which , like Mississippi, will likely vote Republican in the general election, does not help convince super-or automatic delegates that you have the juice to win against McCain. Those white liberal handlers of the non-black-above-black Black candidate are like Kerry and Daschle setting up the African-American kool-Aid swillers for a tremendous letdown by using their Bill Clinton hatred to argue against Hillary's consummation of the nomination in spite of losing the race for pledged delegates to Obama. Who can best win Ohio, California, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Florida (or New Jersey and Massachusetts?)-- and should that person become the nominee instead of the winner of the Mississippi and South Carolina democratic primaries? or the winner of the Wyoming and Idaho primaries? I mean this is about potential for winning, not cult of personality or Clinton-hatred as a political commodity.Hillary wins and pandemonium breaks out as civil rights leaders split and the hip-hop angry young white generation COMBINE literally riot in Denver throughout the black community. The National Guard will be called out in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New Orleans to quell rioters. The phenomenon of strident left-wing black Clinton hatred will manifest in an out-pouring of black support for John McCain. Where are the McCain black republicans marshalled to handle and receive gracefully this banished throng.
