It’s official! Hey, Hillary said it was official, so it must be! Just taking a quick jab - as I heard on the radio, a lot of people are thinking that Hillary hopes Barack looses so that she can cinch the 2012 election. Who knows?
Regardless, the party is starting to unify behind Barack and Biden, in hopes of taking them to the next level. There is still a long, tough road ahead, and the ads are just getting nastier. As far as party unity goes, the Republicans have a lot of fuel to feed the fire of Democratic fractures, while on the other hand, the runners up to the nomination have been unified behind McCain for quite some time. Consider how quickly Mitt Romney pulled out of the race? Was that to secure a position as VP? Or was it party loyalty?
We’ll soon find out as the Republicans meet for their convention in about a week to name their choice. In the meantime, we get to hear from Hillary’s other half, Wild Billy Clinton.
Maybe not so “super” for Clinton, but for Obama, yes. The news keeps trickling out about more super-delegates announcing their support for Obama, and even renouncing their support for Clinton and changing their tune to support Obama.
The naysayers about Clinton are turning out to be accurate in their predictions so far. It would take a total disaster / fiasco to stop the Obama train from going all the way to nomination.
This Democratic National Convention is going to be interesting, to say the least. Many people are already referring to the 1968 DNC in Chicago, where riots broke out between war protesters and police - which I’m not sure is a relevant comparison.
It is going to be interesting in my humble opinion because it might just pit the people versus the political establishment. By saying that, I mean that it will be very interesting if Obama wins the popular vote among democrats to get on their ticket, but the “super” delegates put Hillary on it.
The “dream ticket” that the Clintons mentioned with Obama as VP came as a surprise to me, as I’m sure it did Barack, and I can only perceive it as a dream ticket for the republicans - maybe Hillary is on the GOP take to mess with the dems’ campaign? Wouldn’t that be interesting! I mean with a republican candidate as democrat-friendly as McCain - would it even be necessary?
Speaking of the GOP and McCain, I haven’t heard anything about McCain’s campaign financing issues which were mentioned recently. Maybe it will surface again once he’s chosen a running mate. I don’t think we’ll hear much directly from his campaign until he’s officially announced as the republican candidate anyway. Frankly I’m hoping that he picks Ron Paul, but I’m doubtful. If people are concerned about his age, he’ll probably pick someone younger. I’ve heard mention that he’ll pick Romney, but I seriously doubt it.
