What Are The Democrats Doing?

The odds against Senator Hillary Clinton are moving from highly unlikely, past impossible, to just stupid.  Her advisors are divided, some now saying she should drop out (so she might have a future in politics beyond this race) and some saying to keep on fighting to the bitter end (sort of the captain going down with the sinking ship).

It looks as if the battered Senator, Barack Obama, will be victorious after all in his bid to get the nod of the Democrats.  He has the lead in the popular vote (even though Senator Clinton keeps claiming the votes of the states he didn’t run in and one of which he wasn’t even on the ballot give her the lead). The problem is that the price has been heavy in terms of his electability.  The man who once was seen as the candidate to unify the country is now the face of the division of the party (thanks to Senator Clinton’s insistence on going down with the ship) and is the face of the racial divide still existing in the country (thanks to a certain Mr. Wright).

These candidates have beaten each other so badly that a presidential race that should have been easily won by the Democrats due to the unpopularity of the current Republican white house is now a pretty even fight between the Democrats and the Republicans.

I personally think the parties need to go or at least revamp their value systems and stands, but why go through so much effort to defeat yourselves?

The truth is that much of the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of Senator Hillary Clinton and her party’s inability to stop her when she is single-handedly destroying the party she claims to be building.  If Senator Clinton is the face of anything it is the face of stubborn, selfish people who will do anything not to lose.

When will these two stop this nonsense?  It seems that Senator Obama has moved on to campaigning against Senator McCain and that Senator McCain is campaigning against Senator Obama, but the truth is Senator Clinton is attacking both and her party is loosing in the end.

I am not sure what people are telling her to continue that have disguised themselves as good advisors, but they are definitely not loyal to her party or to her.  These people clearly feel this is the one big shot or they would be thinking about her getting the mark of being the person who ruined what should have been the easiest election ever.

Senator Clinton should stop now.  As an obviously selfish person, she should do it to preserve her legacy, her future in politics, and to avoid passing the mark of “crazy person” on to her daughter (who in public speaking seems to be the most sensible politically and otherwise in the family).  I believe these reasons should be her real reasons for leaving the race along with the facts that she keeps destroying her party’s chances at winning and the faith of the people in her party at all. 

But, it is a free country.  That means each individual has the right to look stupid in the public eye for all of us to watch in amazement.
