(no subject)
I don't want to sound like an asshole, nor do I want to be pessemistic. I like Senator Clinton, I think she'd be a fine president. I bear no ill will toward her or any of her supporters. But if you really think that this continuation that will now likely last until August will do anything other than help John McCain, I've a bridge to sell you. Need I remind you again about the delegate math? And don't give me this "big state" nonsense. As If California and New York are going to vote for a Republican...Or as if Texas for that matter would vote Dem. And lets not forget who won Missouri, not to mention the fact that independents and party switchers (the proverbial swing) back Obama.
I'm no Obama supporter, I really don't give a fuck. My donations thus far have gone to the Party so that they can put some salt in Mr. McCain's Lemonade that Barack and Hillary seem all too willing to offer up to him. But If you also believe that she will win the general after the superdelegates alienate the beyond crucial African-American vote by taking a legitimate win away from a black man and handing it over to a white woman...I'll put in the empire state building with that bridge. Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're racist. But let's not be ignorant about this countries race relations reality whether we're pleased with it or not. Besides, it's not accident that PA/OH/TX voters who voted on the basis of race were much more likely to vote Clinton. Nasty, nasty and that is the worst kind of nastiness.
She can't win the delegates and she's highly unlikely to win the popular. And spare me the Florida-Michigan BS. Those states fucked up and she ran in those states after promising she wouldn't. She ran unopposed in illegitimate elections. Want for a win doesn't justify legitimacy. If the shoe were on the other foot her campaign would be calling Obama all sorts of cheater.
But really, I don't care. They both can beat McCain, contrary to the depreciatory comments of the Clinton Camp, I just want it to happen. But if Clinton somehow gets it, undemocratically I might add, I fear and weep for the future of this country. Not because I fear her, as I said, she'd be admirable. Rather I fear the political windfall we've given McCain will prove insurmountable.
