Today marks yet another primary, and one that may be very important. If all the cards fall in the right order, Barak Obama may clinch the Democratic Nomination. He needs to secure at least 2025 delegates. Of course, he could declare victory without that magic number, but that would be taking the gamble that Florida and Michigan will not be seated at the convention. Just on a side note, that whole fiasco is hilarious. For the last two presidential election cycles, the democrats have accused the republicans (without any evidence) of not counting all the votes. They claimed that there were thousands of voters who were “disenfranchised”. Now, they are doing the same thing to their own folks! They didn’t like that Florida and Michigan actually wanted to have a say in the nominee, so they just took their votes away. On the other hand, Hillary agreed to the sanctions against those states, so she really should quit whining. Of course, when Obama wins, Hillary will be just like Al Gore, and complain that she was the real winner, even though she is the loser!
One primary is in the state of Kentucky today. That is another state that Obama cannot possibly win. I’m sure it is just because they are all a bunch of gun-toting, religious, racist fanatics. That was what happened in West Virginia, or so we were told.
Obama’s inability to win in Kentucky throws up many red flags, which will obviously be completely ignored by his supporters. He is the “chosen one” and nothing that comes up can possibly be a sign of a bump in his campaign. But, the states of West Virginia and Kentucky (and Obama’s ignoring of these states and the people within them) highlight the fact that Obama is not the “unifier” that he claims to be. Obama cannot win in these two states, and he will lose a lot of votes in other moderate states. The truth is that Obama, no matter how much he tries to paint himself as “mainstream”, is ridiculously liberal, and really only appeals to the extreme left base (and those who refuse to actually try to understand his “plan for America). There are many reasons that Obama cannot win in these states, none of which include “racism.” I don’t deny there are racists in West Virginia and Kentucky, but there are also racists in every other state. That doesn’t excuse the racism, but it certainly takes excuse out of his basket. It’s amazing that we didn’t know that there were proportionately more racists in West Virginia and Kentucky until Obama ran for president! It’s just an excuse…don’t buy into it! I did find it interesting that former clan member, Robert Byrd, senior senator from West Virginia, endorsed Obama this week. Despite the obvious “mandate of the people” of West Virginia in voting for Clinton, two of the top 3 super delegates in West Virginia have cast their support to Obama. We are still waiting to see what the governor will do.
Obama recently has been coming off as a whiner as well. That will hurt him quite a bit in states like Kentucky, where people are struggling to make ends meet. They really don’t want to hear about how hard his life is, and how unfairly he is being treated. He whined about the president rebuking his proposed foreign policy. He whined because republicans used the words of his wife against him. If anyone speaks out against him or his policy, he whines. I’m just wondering…how much whining are we going to hear from him when the nations around the world refuse to bow down to him? I don’t know how this can possibly make him look better to his supporters!
Just a note to Barak Obama: If you send your wife out to campaign for you, she, and the things she says, cannot be “off limits.” Yes, Michelle will be an issue in the campaign. If she goes out on the campaign trail and says something stupid, republicans are allowed to point it out, and use it against you, as she is speaking for you! By the way, the same rule goes for the Clinton campaign. They have complained about unfair treatment of Chelsea, and the things she has said. If you send her out to campaign, she is fair game. Quit whining.
The democratic nominee may be chosen today, but I hope not. If Obama doesn’t get his 2025 delegates, he needs to hold off on declaring victory. I’d love for this to go all the way to convention. Let them keep on fighting amongst themselves!
