The one thing I don’t understand here is why change the rules, John? They’ve kept attention on the Democratic contest and highlighted why the primary schedule can produce a long primary. It seems to me that the latter part of that is the problem, not the rules themselves.
YOU KNOW she’s not going away.You know the spin today, tomorrow, next week (bring on West Virginia!) will be about how she’s a fighter who never gives up (bring on Kentucky!).
So, despite Barack Obama’s big North Carolina win and much better-than-expected showing in Indiana, you know there’s more to come. Makes me crazy.
Luckily, I found a way to settle this thing between Obama and Hillary Clinton. Well, OK, actually I found a guy at MIT who has a way to settle it.
The road to the Whitehouse
Thanks to mature politics , despite all the negative spin by wrong footed media that tried to muddy the voting waters with side issues to deflect the common purpose of America’s voting public, Barak is on the way to sealing the Democratic Nomination. Errol Smythe.
The 2008 run for the
The 2008 run for the Democratic spot is not a common occurence and may never happen again. The chances of a party having two extremely popular and very qualified candidates battle it out for so long without either one showing a true advantage are very slim. I don’t believe making wholesale changes to the system over a freak incident is really worth the trouble.
Uncommon
Yeah this is uncommon and I don’t blame Hillary for it. But I think at this point she doesn’t stand a chance.
Re You Know She's Not Going Anywhere...
If the Clintons had a small measure of integrity between them, Hillary would get out of the race now and (along with Bill) do all she can to elect the guy who by all accounts, is already the nominee.
It is a shame that the Clintons are prepared instead to do all they can to damage Obama’s chances in defeating John McCain in the hope that she can go for it herself in 2012.
Other than a few (very few) symbolic appearances, how much real campaigning did the Clintons do for John Kerry in 2004? Kerry was so close to winning that two or three appearances by the popular Bill Clinton in Ohio would have sent GW into retirement in January of 2005.
But the last thing the Clintons needed to get in the way of their own ambitions was eight years of a President Kerry.
These Arkansas political armadillos have never been about the Democratic Party…only about themselves.
