It is now Wednesday morning. The polls have closed for the remaining states. The long and arduous journey of choosing a democratic nominee for president is over. Or is it? Senator Clinton has yet to concede that she has lost. Nor has she acknowledged that Senator Obama has won. Now the question is, “What does Hillary want?” In her speech last night she claims that she wants to do what is best for the democratic party and for the country.
“In the coming days, I’ll be consulting with supporters and party leaders to determine how to move forward with the best interests of our party and our country guiding my way.”
Really? The bottom line is that what Hillary wants is what is best for Hillary. If the DNC wants Hillary to pack up her toys and go home, they will first have to play “Let’s Make a Deal’. She wants the vice presidency. She wants campaign contributions to pay off her debts. She wants a prime-time speaking slot at the convention in August. She wants us all to visit her web site and tell her what she wants. She wants us all to have patience as she decides what it is she wants in the coming days.
I have never been a Hillary supporter. And I don’t know anyone who is a Hillary supporter. Therefore, I cannot understand the rabid fanaticism shown by her followers. She has cried, lied, and made republican-style attacks against her opponent, Senator Obama. She is more-of-the-same type of old crony politics that we are all sick of. Yet many of her supporters say that hell will freeze over before they vote for Obama. Would they really prefer McCain in the White House?
I had to ask myself what I would do if Senator Obama had lost. There is no way in hell that I would vote for Senator McCain. I would like to see what Ron Paul decides to do. He has not dropped out plus he took 16% of the vote from McCain in South Dakota. The fact is that no republican may sit in the white house. Hillary is still the lesser of two evils and I would have to cast my vote for her. I’m fairly certain that the majority of Clinton’s supporters will also make the right decision come November.
Getting back to what Hillary wants and what is best for the country. One word: unity. All of those millions of voters, many first timers, who have backed Senator Clinton united with the millions of Obama voters would be an impenetrable force to reckon with. McCain wouldn’t stand a chance. If I were Hillary, I would want to be the democratic party’s standard bearer. I would want to bring together all of those millions of voices in support of Senator Obama and bring a knock-out blow to Senator McCain in November. What I wouldn’t want is to go down in history as a sore loser.
Obama ’08
