It's about unity and positive change

It's about unity and positive change or maybe not.

Every vote counts or maybe not.

Rules are rules or maybe not.

This whole Florida/Michigan thing is just entertaining to watch. Democrat vs. Democrat. Protests and counter protests.

You have got to read the comments in this post.

I did not think it was possible for Hillary supporters and the Obama supporters to get nastier with each other. Turns out they can.

If Hillary was up in the delegate count, she would probably be reacting the same way as Obama.

For Obama to continue to make the claim that he is about unity and change while this farce continues is just a joke.

What has become painfully clear is that the Democrats have brought America racism and sexism to it's highest level of hatred in years. This from the Democrats who call themselves progressive. The Democrats have taken us backwards.

The nomination is not about unity and change it is about hatred and the political status quo.

The nomination is not about counting every vote, they just want to count the votes they like.

Making it interesting

Hillary Clinton sure is making it interesting on the democrat side of the aisle.

According to all of the media pundits, she is though. Done. Toast. Kaput. Nothing left in the tank.

Yet, even yesterday she managed to clobber in Kentucky, beating him by about 250,000 votes and she lost Oregon by about 71,000 votes.

I don't care how many different ways Obama tries to spin this, Hillary has supporters and lots of them.

If every vote is counted, as the democrats love to say, Hillary is defeating Obama in actual votes by around 100,000.

If George W. Bush was not a legitimate winner of the election in 2000 because he did not win the popular vote, as so many Democrats love to claim, how is it that Obama is the legitimate winner of the Democrat primary?

Even if you want to apply the electoral college to Obama's and Clinton's wins, Hillary clearly defeats Obama. She has won all of the big states with big electoral votes except Illinois.

If the Democrats 2000 arguments were applied to 2008, Clinton would be the clear victor.

But hey, we all know that Democrats like to change the rules of the game when things do not turn out the way they like.

Thank you, Hillary

The Democrat nomination looks to be over.

I am guessing that Hillary will probably stay in it until June 3rd, even though she has little chance of winning the nomination.

Still Hillary Clinton will have left her mark on this year’s democrat nomination.

The biggest mark Hillary left is on Barack Obama.

Hillary managed to damage Obama. She made Barack Obama beatable. She exposed his weaknesses.

In what should have been a horrible year for Republicans, Hillary shined some negative light on Obama and gave the Republicans the blueprint to beat him.

So what are Obama’s weaknesses?

Let’s start with his glaring weakness with working middle class America. For years, the Democrats have told America that they stand for the working class. Obama is losing this voting class by big numbers, even in North Carolina.

Obama is an elitist. This may turn out to be the more damaging to Obama than anyone in the media are willing to admit. It was the same problem that John Kerry had and now the problem has shifted to Obama. Obama only has himself to blame for this one. Saying what he said in San Francisco about God and guns is not going to just disappear.

Even as pundits and the media are praising the “Messiah” today, it appears that a week from today, Obama will be stuck explaining why once again, he gets clobbered among working class whites. West Virginia has their primary next Tuesday and unless a large group of the work class whites can be convinced to switch to Obama, things will get ugly all over again.

Another glaring weakness is that Obama has a glass chin. You smack him with anything; he either over-reacts or fails to re-act quickly enough. Obama’s first reaction to Rev. Wright cost him votes. It will cost him votes in the general election. Even Obama’s second reaction to Reverend Wright will damage him. Obama behaved like a wounded child when finally reacting to Reverend Wright. This is not the sign of a strong leader.

I could go on. Obama has zero leadership experience. (Obama has never been the top dog anywhere for anything. Never)

Obama has absolutely no policy when it comes to national security. (He says he will get us out of Iraq. That is how he plans on protecting us?????)

Obama has absolutely no coherent policy when it comes to foreign relations. (He plans on sitting and talking with people- this is not exactly a policy)

Obama has zero business experience.

And on and on…

So, thank you Hillary Clinton. You succeeded is smacking Obama around.

Three more weeks of smacking Obama is exactly what the Republicans need.
