when i asked this question it was an open field... even edwards was still in
the running... with the consolidation of the republicans... they sure know
about unity in the face of uncertainty... McCain is the last republican standing.... the
democrats as usual are spending too much time squabbling instead of elevating
themselves above the McCain campaign. I think that unless Clinton and Obama
stop attacking each other (ie. fishing in the same pond) then McCain will
simply cleanup between now and the DNC and once the Democrat Candidate is
announced... the republicans will simply run a gender or race biased
presidential campaign for McCain and lo and behold 4 more years of Republican
bedlam...
so.... Democrats unite... the opposition is outside not inside...
lets see Clinton and Obama behaving as though they are already running mates...
and u know... hillary should be banking on the VP ticket - cos a woman pres
will get all the glory but get undermined 100% on the real issues... she needs
to break the congress/senate and career administration into her presidency
slowly... obama is in a better position to effect change re: the war and stuff
- let him do it - let hillary do all the social development stuff - and build
trust among the core constituents - that will come to see her as the
"mother of the nation" - she needs to step out of bills shadow... and
she cant do that if she spends all of her energy taking down obama.
Obama also
needs to catch a wake up… he’s on the back foot every other day for no reason
whatsoever; while everyone’s being uber gentle with the geriatric republican… and what Uncle
Sam has spent how many billions chasing the ghost of osama & terrorism and
insurgents and fundamentalists and and and and… stop… its enough…
put the
democrats in the whouse and put some sanity into US govt… I said it b4 and I will
say it again… this democratic administration needs to bring together all of the
democrat presidential candidates and get the whole party behind this
administration (whether Clinton or Obama) so that the change that we all need
is not hampered by factionalism…
and if the democrats let McCain win that’s just peachy… AMANDLA! AWETHU! THE PEOPLE NOT THE CORPORATIONS
SHALL GOVERN! AMANDLA AWETHU!
