The Agony of Defeat

What We All Want
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.

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures
I was absolutely shocked to read the headlines proclaiming that Senator Hillary Clinton used the 1968 assassination of Robert F Kennedy as an historical example of why she should stay in the race:
“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it.”
The Never-Ending Agonizing Crawl to the White House
I almost forgot to do my primary update. In fact, I completely forgot that it had happened. So here are the numbers:
- Kentucky: Clinton – 65%
Obama – 30% - Oregon: Obama – 58%
Clinton – 42%
If you need a breakdown of how they divided the delegates you will have to hunt that down yourself. Senator Obama is still leading and that’s all that matters to me.
Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton has now decided to make a complete horse’s ass out of herself. She has declared that she is the actual winner of the popular vote and not Obama. Of course once you look at her math you kinda get the sense that she has officially lost her mind. If you tally up all of the votes she has won including those in Florida and Michigan she does indeed win the popular vote. However, they do not include any of the votes for uncommitted in Obama’s tally. Presumably those people may have voted for Obama (or Edwards). When asked why they didn’t add those votes to Obama, Clinton’s camp stated that then she wouldn’t win. If that isn’t bad enough, she has also stated that if Florida and Michigan want to take their delegate issue all the way to the convention, well then she would support them on that decision. What part of “You have LOST!!!!!” does this woman not get?
Meanwhile, we have McCain stumbling around the country giving one senility riddled speech after another. And the main stream media is so caught up in the democratic presidential nominee that he barely registers as a blip on the radar.
Onwards to Peurto Rico – June 1st

The Long Agonizing Crawl to the White House
I’m getting pretty bored with this whole situation. Here are the results for last night’s primary:
- West Virginia: Clinton – 67%
Obama – 26%
Senator Clinton picks up another 20 delegates with Senator Obama gaining 8. He still leads in all of the categories; pledged delegates, super-delegates and the popular vote. I never realized what a racist and uneducated state West Virginia is. The reasons why Senator Clinton won are that 60% of the voters polled couldn’t vote for a black candidate and others wouldn’t vote for Senator Obama because he is a muslim. A muslim! Kentucky is up next week. I imagine it will be more of the same stupidity. Senator Clinton is expected to win the hillbilly vote while Senator Obama should take Oregon. There is a light at the end of this tunnel. After Kentucky and Oregon there are only two primaries left! June 1st is Puerto Rico and June 3rd is Montana and South Dakota.
