SHEEEE-IT, man, will I be happy when all this is done with, and we have a nominee |
|
I usually don't even bother to get involved with all the primary bickering, as so much of it is emotional, full of anger and Schadenfreude, pouncing on every poll that says what you don't want to hear, treating every poll that does say what you want to hear as if it were inscribed on stone tablets by God (confirmed by a DNA sample).
Our WORST enemy, and the country's WORST nightmare, is a Republican being sworn in as President on January 20, 2009. It is neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama, both of whom I would give odds on beating John McCain in November (earlier comments on polls to be repeated here). For all those who think either would be a Bush Lite, I would repeat the words of then- foreign minister of Germany, Joschka Fischer (Greens/B-'90) to Donald Rumsfeld, when Rummy came visiting to try to talk Germany into joining the Iraq invasion. At a public dinner, cameras rolling, Fischer got up, and in passable English, told Rumsfeld straight out: if you want my country to join you in an invasion, you have to convince me that these weapons are there. "You haven't convinced me."
The only thing that blows my mind is that some people here seem convinced.
The only weapon of mass destruction menacing us right now is the Republican Party and its friends' hoard of cash, along with what they'll do to us if McCain becomes president. Refusing to consider that is, in my opinion, a weapon of mass delusion.

3. Agreed, let's get this thing done with already. If Hillary was ahead I'd want Obama to step aside... |
|
But since Obama has won 11 straight and has a delegate lead of 160, i'm hoping he wins ohio or texas so that we can be done with all of the bickering amongst democrats. I like both candidates, and i'd be happy with either, but since Obama has a clearer path to the nomination I hope he can clinch this thing and we can all ge together and take on the real enemy.

5. I agree--if one of them has an insurmountable lead, it's time for the other to let it go |
|
And I don't begrudge either of them for waiting until that point.
But when it's time, it's time. I think that no one has any illusions about that, and I hope fervently that by the end of this month, all this bickering will be done, and we can concentrate on the real danger facing us. (Hint, he's neither black nor female).
