Perfect Game

I have always voted Democratic, however, if Hillary wins the nomination, I would contemplate voting for John. Why? Because John (and Barack) will be able to unite the parties and get things done. Hillary will end up being stonewalled by the republicans just as Bush is stonewalled by the democrats, and nothing will get done!

Obama can have the U.S. Presidency. We will satand aside. Come inpeachment time, Hillary will be there to do the papers. Go bama!

As a second thought, I would like to hear from the moderate muslims in our country that are now US citizens. Whom do they think would be the best one to overcome this world-wide fight against the attacks of the extremist that want to destroy all of us. The extremist are their enemys also as evidenced by what they do to their own kind. It is far worse than what we did to each other during the Civil War. As one person commented on how, in days of old, Religion killed more people and committed horrible attrocities. True! And that is exactly what is happening in the Muslim world today. As with Cathalocism, it is now the Muslims. Since this is such a serious problem and a threat to our democracy, I wish the moderate Muslims would speak out and give us some insight. Probably afraid to do so due to the radicalousness of our non-muslim citizens. But I beleive it could be a help to us. Whom is the best suited to protect us?

the biggest mistaked will be Obama as presidnet,

When Barack Obama won the South Carolina primary the Clinton's disparaged and debased African Americans by explaining he won only because of his race. When he won in States such as Minnesota, Maine, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Washington - States with less than 10% African American population the Clinton's again tried to belittle his wins by stating that Democrats won't win those States in November anyway. I fervently hope and pray that the voters in Texas and Ohio see what the Clinton's are doing and make their voices heard when they vote in their State's primaries. They need to send the Clinton's a very strong message that the politics of mud slingling, lies, rumors, innuendos, racism, character assassination and personal destruction will no longer be tolerated. The despicable manner in which Clinton has conducted her campaign should be something the American people need to speak loudly and clearly about - that they have had enough and will not tolerate the Clinton's and their win at all costs, mean spirited nasty brand of politics. Voters in Ohio and Texas please let your fellow Americans know that you too want change and a candidate who will inspire you and uplift you. There is only one candidate running who has a message of change, hope, and working together to solve our nations problems and that candidate is Barack Obama. Say NO to divisiveness. Say NO to polarization. Say NO to Hillary Clinton.

Why is it so hard for most people to understand that this country is weary and tired of the same ol' same ol'. We are so in need of fresh ideas. Obama surely would not have come this far if his message had not resonated so much to everyone, regardless of class, race or education. Hillary's problem is Bill, she must understand that HE was the president, not SHE. HE had the experience, not SHE. So when she keeps crowing about her experience, she must be talking about Bill's. Of course, we must remember that she will rely heavily on his opinion should she get to the White House. As payment for his opinion, will she give him his own wing for him and Monica?

Folks, I have watched the movie "Titanic" - maybe 10 times or more, and as I watch this HRC's campaign, I can see a fast sinking ship. It is obvious to me that she has a lot of excess baggage on this ship, and the strain of the weight is beginning to show. Although I felt turned off at her mischevious tactics together with Bill, I felt so sorry for her last night. Those near teary bags beneath her eyes showed subtle signs of stress and self doubt, and perhaps the fear of loosing her most sought after ambition. This fight is proving mush tougher and more expensive than she had anticipated.

But I worry that she seems hot headed and blinded by ambition. She never seemed to even acknowledge the few votes she got even if she lost (pride?). She keeps changing the goal posts (disingenious?), and her excuses for loosing each contest are getting pretty long for regular folks to understand. At some point she may find herself like Mitt Romney did, and would have the make the decision he was forced to make - "stop the bleed, and cut your losses".

She need not look too far for the cause of her demise. Pride and Bill did the most harm to her campaign (besides her other self inflicted wounds). Together they turned off many voters/supporters by their mostly insensitive comments, and "a divide and conquer strategy:. They took the support of long term loyalists fore granted. Voters may be silly atimes and naive like young lovers but they hate to be told so.

I only hope that HRC will find a gracious exit strategy from her fast compounding misery, and bow out while the ovation is loudest. Many people still like her for a variety of other reasons. In spite of all her mis-steps and faults, she has lifted up the spirits of many a woman in America. She may not win the Oval office, but again she really does not need to. I think she is still tough and rugged nonetheless. Her many other attributes still appeal voters like me. That she loyally stood by wild Bill when it was most difficult to do so raises her stock price in my eyes. For that reason alone, she earned my respect and admiration.

If the Democrats want to secure the White House in January 2009, the best solution is this. If Barack wins he would be wise to ask Hillary to be Vice President, and should Hillary pull though she would also be wise to ask Barack to be V.P. and neither should decline the offer. It would be a good team for the country, spirits would be high and people would have faith in the future. Also, it would be a double historical event.. a blakc man and a woman in the White House!

When I look at the four remaining candidates I see strong points in all of them... each would be a tremendous improvement over the current president. So my main focus is on who can lift us as a nation and help rebuild our coalition with nations around the world. McCain comes in fourth on this one, so he is off my list. Now we're down to three.
Who can work with both sides of the House and Senate to push the health care plan they believe in? With some rather deep-rooted baggage behind her I think Hillary comes in third here. And then there were two.
Who has the organization, outreach, and support across the country and not just in regional pockets? My prayers are for Obama.

One more question - are people voting for Obama because they want to, or because he's not Hillary? Because that's not a very good way to pick a president.

Hillary Clinton is the best person for the job of President. Obama is inexperienced, young, wonderfully inspirational yet lacking any real ability to affect "real" problems. The more this contest becomes deadlocked, the more annoyed I feel because I know people aren't using their heads when casting their votes. Young people in college aren't qualified to choose our next president. Black people are supporting Obama because he's one of their own (which I suppose I understand), but that's not going to get him in office in a general election. WAKE UP! If Obama is chosen, we will lose the general election and I for one, will vote for John McCain instead of Obama. If we want a democrate in the white house, Hillary Clinton has to be the nominee.

I am astounded at the impatience of Hillary and her fans.

Why can't you just happily wait four years until Obama is totally hated and then try again for the presidency?

Is that such a long wait?

Jok_Bond:

I don't think it matters how much people pray for Hillary to show some fighting spirit, if she does not have it in her.

No amount of trying will turn a cow ionto a tiger.

No: Hillary is for the birds. At l;east this year.
