It's 2008... do you know what your Democratic presidential candidates are doing?
First of all, watching the Clinton campaign fight tooth and nail for the nomination has been incredibly amusing. What's even more amusing is imagining Hillary losing most states; popular votes; polls; and delegates--yet still becoming the nominee.
That won't cause any riots!
Another fiasco is Florida and Michigan. Leave it to the Democratic Party to find a way to pussyfoot around the rules to which they themselves agreed. That Clinton even brags about winning the Michigan primary, a ballot on which she was the only nominee, is a joke. (But a funny one.)
Equally hilarious is the Clinton campaign's justification for having new elections in FL and MI simply because Hillary won the battleground states like TX, OH, MI, FL, and other big electoral college states like NY and CA.
The major flaw of that thinking, of course, is that those "victories" (FL and MI aside), came against another Democrat. Implying, as Governor (PA) Ed Rendell did this past week on "Meet the Press," that Clinton is a better candidate because she carried the big states in the DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES--is laughable.
Unless the Clinton camp says they're implying that McCain isn't very conservative, this strategy makes little sense. But to say McCain isn't conservative doesn't make much sense, either; plus, it would contradict her other mantra, which is that McCain is just another George W. Bush.
How well a candidate does in a primary is not exactly indicative of how the candidate will do in that same state come general election -- especially when many voters throw their votes during primaries, as was the case in OH and TX recently, where many GOP voters voted for Hillary, just to keep the Dem candidates bloodthirsty for a few more months.
Lastly, another great irony is how Hillary Clinton said Barack Obama would make a great VP candidate -- despite all of the negative things she has to say about him not being ready to serve "on day one."
Apparently, if he'd have to take over as president, it'd at least be on day two.
Keep up the good work! I'll get the popcorn.
