It is a great thing that Bill Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar, for at least he can be the brains of the family. Goodness knows Hillary is proving herself to be a blooming idiot.
Barack Obama scored a major victory in the race for the Democratic nomination by picking up the endorsement of John Edwards. With this endorsement, Obama now has the full support of the 2004 Democratic presidential ticket. Obama is leading in the popular vote, won the most states, has the lead in the Super Delegate count, and indeed the overall delegate count as well. The reality is despite everything the Clinton campaign has thrown at him, Obama is still beating Hillary is every aspect of the race for the nomination. Hillary is being reduced to nothing more than a mere ranting cry baby who just can not seem to understand the word "No".
Hillary has allowed her big mouth to dig her into holes she just can not seem to get herself out of. Even though she retracted her most recent, and unqualified statement, it was all but to late to repair the damage to her campaign. Hillary's racially motivated statement gave the illusion that her main supporters are under educated white men. In other words, it was as if Hillary was more than happy to allow the college educate people to supports Barack Obama; as long as she has her base of middle to high school educated "Good Ole" folk, she is just fine and dandy. Well Yee-Haw to that Hillary.
This is America in the 21st century. Better than 80% of the nation is college educated. Even most of the blue color workers in our present day society have an Associates Degree or equivalent at a minimum. Although the retraction is appreciated, it is also important to note that Hillary may have fired the torpedo that will sink her own ship.
John Edwards endorsing Barack Obama should have sent a clear and concise message to Hillary Clinton, that message being that the Democratic Party is tired of her childish game and is ready to move on to the bigger fish. The longer the democratic nomination exercise drags out, the more distracted the party will become, and the easier it will be for the GOP to pick the DNC apart in November.
In fairness, I applaud Hillary because she is a woman of conviction; however, in this case, conviction is bordering on ignorance. Unfortunately, the DNC can not afford to deal with ignorance within the party's ranks. What is being accomplished? Honestly, what is there to gain? Division is not the key, unity is.
At this point, there is no shame in throwing in the towel and putting in a bid for either Vice President or an upper level cabinet position such as Secretary of State.The President calls the shots, which is true; however, with the exception of George W. Bush, the President does not make a decision with out seeking the counsel of trusted member within the cabinet. Bush simply does not play well with others, and probably wished he'd been an only child.
Bottom line is this America, Hillary waged an awesome battle. She is a valuable asset to this great nation of our's, and she will continue to be. There is, and will always be a place for her in the leadership of this country, but we must do what makes common sense at this moment. The majority of the Democratic power brokers are backing Barack Obama, so let's do what is right for the party and set our sites on the real target. The DNC should be arming itself to shoot down John McCain. Send him home to Arizona where he belongs.
