Still Annointing Obama
With all the talk, most of the media and the Obama supporters think he has won the nomination. They actually think it was over in Iowa. The Hillary supporters are portrayed as old women, racists, unintelligent. Pundits are asking if Obama should go negative. Are people blind? He has been negative from the beginning. This seems to be an exercise in keeping the media employed. But Hillary supporters know that Obama is an unknown no matter what his supporters say. He is still being protected and any small inference that he has problems is swiftly swept under the rug. But the real fact is that Hillary supporters are very strong, just like their candidate, and really believe that because of what we do know about Obama he is not qualified or electable. We know McCain, and feel that a democratic majority in congress can contain him. You will find an exodus by Hillary supporters voting for McCain--you may not believe it, but it is a fact. Of course, there will be hard feelings on all sides, but what we do know is that the probability of Hillary running from the beginning was a given. The democratic party members who wanted to stop her ran a black man (the sure way to divide the party)and got what they wanted. It is not the fault of Hillary Clinton that the party is divided but the party itself. They then disenfranchised the voters of Michigan and Florida. The party has not been loyal to great numbers of the party members, and if those members feel a divide from their party, there is only the party to blame for the division. Obama was touted as the great uniter. He will never be able to bring the party together. It is not as though the race were not close in the voice of the people, especially if Floidians are counted, so the remaining super delegates should weigh their decisions carefully.
