Bowling For Delegates?

Has it come to this? A YouTube video surfaces showing Barack Obama throwing a gutter ball while bowling, and Hillary Clinton decides she wants to use that to her advantage. What is Hillary's proposal? "Bowling For Delegates" because she feels the Democrats need to "Get Out Of The Gutter". This sounds like one of those low brow Todd Schnit (MJ Morning Show) stunts like taping Froggy to a piece of thread and telling him to do a spiderman climb.

I see several fundamental flaws in that proposal. One flaw being Hillary is placing her hope on a gimmick because her campaign team in impotent. Hillary is falling behind in the polls, her budget is in peril, she is failing to manage her campaign funds, and her husband has done nothing but shoot her in the foot since her campaign began.

This is a Democratic Primary, not a sporting event.

Let's face the facts. Hillary's campaign is sinking like the Titanic, and there is no other ship in the immediate area to save the souls of those onboard. Our nation has suffered the exploits of a president who should not have been elected in the first place. Why would we want to replace one failure with another just because she is married to America's most notable player?

What if she fails with "Bowling For Delegates"? What next? "Gin-Rummy For Delegates"? Basically, Hillary is attempting to reduce the Democratic Primary to a game, while the Republicans are sitting back, kicking up their heels and laughing at how stupid the Democrats are looking.

Hillary is saying that the Democrats need to come out of the gutter, and I agree; however, let us not forget that it was Hillary who placed the Democrats in the gutter in the first place with her high school slanderous attacks on Barack Obama. Hey, if you can't beat him, talk about his momma, right? Wrong! At Hillary's age she should have progressed far beyond the phase of childish attacks. I would expect something like that from Chelsea, but Chelsea is presenting herself to be far more mature than her mother. What a shame.

Bottom line is this America; we need a candidate who does not regard the process as a game. We just endured eight years of a President who treats our military like they are GI Joe dolls, or like characters in some arcade game. America does not need games, we need results. How does Hillary expect to effectively balance the fiscal budget if she cannot balance the budget of her campaign? Instead of gimmicks, Hillary needs a more realistic approach to capturing delegates. To paraphrase a commercial from the 1970's, Hillary needs to "Get Her Delegates The Old Fashioned Way, Earn Them".
