Yes, the race does go on, with the help of the GOP
Haven't you noticed AT ALL that the attacks coming in from the GOP are hitting Obama? Does that not register AT ALL with ANYONE?
What do you think will energize the GOP base more, a relatively unknown (because you know that they aren't looking him over - they're just listening to what they're told), or a "Clinton"? Now I do agree that giving the candidates a long period of exposure to the base has a good effect on providing us a better picture of who they are. BUT, letting them snipe at each others' weaknesses gives the GOP the opportunity to snipe at the target they DON'T want to fight as well - increasing the odds that the candidate who represents the interests of the people of this country will be defeated.
Yes, you heard me right - this long fight is increasing the odds that we will lose the candidate who is better for us. The GOP is not out to support the people of the United States, folks. They are out for themselves. NOT us. Not you. Not me.
So they're going to take every chance they can to put down the candidate who stands most in opposition to them. In doing so, they elevate the candidate who has more in common, and thus has fewer distinctions from them - so they can start pounding in the "personality" contest that they favor so much. How well do you think the "elitist" argument will fly against Obama from McCain? Right, not very well - McCain is worth 100M+ with his rich wife, Obama might be worth 5% of that. However, when they fly it against Clinton, they can say she's worth "109M" - and it'll stick, both because she's got money and because people out there want to find reasons to dislike her.
Enough of this crap, folks. Yes, it's a tight race. Yes, both have their pros and cons. However, from a practical stance, both Clinton and Obama are extremely similar - but Obama has a much stronger chance to beat McCain. Let's face the facts and move on them. Two more months of mutual sniping with McCain piling on against Obama will end this with another Florida or Ohio in November.
And we the people cannot afford more of this GOP shit.
