Answer To Lanny Davis and Hillary Clinton Calling for Fixing the Nomination
by Brent Budowsky | February 14, 2008



Lanny is a brilliant and articulate voice of a past that Americans want ended and his argument, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.), that the will of the people can be overturned by the arrogance of insiders, is wrong, and will lose.

It is revealing that Lanny quotes the history of the past, not even the 1990s, but the 1980s. He quotes the dead hand of a past that is abhorrent to the enormous majority of Americans who want business as usual in politics ended, and want the future to begin, now.

I will let Lanny claim the mantle of the 1980s and let Hillary stand for the restoration of the 1990s with the tactics and attitudes that are held in near universal disrepute by the people of a nation who want true change, authentic change, and a better future.

This is the year when the people are right and the politicians are wrong and the future is now. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is winning this nomination because he embodies the best of the past, the movements of the present and the hope of the future.

Sooner than the experts believe, the superdelegates will join the people rather than resist the tides of history and the aspirations of voters.

In America the people rule, and those who do not honor this will be left behind.
