The political pundits and talking heads are out in full force giving us their analysis of that the barely two-digit win by Hillary in Pennsylvania means. And blogland is full of finely tuned views too. This is not one of those. This is an artist's view of that this means, so it is very subjective.
One, clearly American Flag lapel pins do not matter (see previous blog), because Hillary has never worn one to my knowledge. Nor does dress for success. Throw that book out because I think she has horrid taste in pant suits. And a woman is suppose to wear a skirt for a job interview.
Two, there was a wide variance between the pre-primary polls which showed the gap being only 5% and the actual vote with 10%. (note: this was way down from the 30% Hillary started with.) But this difference seems to show that once we pull that curtain there are a huge group of white Democrats that are closet racists.
Three, the Hillary camp is probably going to use this little racial blip to say she is the one to go head to head with McCain. But don't buy that, because if the very White Male Democrat is closet racist he is probably also closet sexist (ask his wife and it probably is not that closeted). So when it is Hillary against McCain the white man with the military record will win every time. Just ask the KKK.
Four, and for me this is the really bad news, the old time dirty politics wins. That means the style of campaigns brought to you by Carl Rowe will be up and running in 2008. The Clintons are past masters. So this is the end of substance as we know it. It has been nice to debate some real issues for a change but the last debate proved in conjunction with the outcome of this primary that we are back to such clarifying terms as Flip Flopper.
Nothing is going to change. Hope is dead. Time to start meeting in back rooms and cellars and plan the revolution. Democracy was a nice experiment but it did not work. It can be purchased.
This is so sad. If Obama is not the chosen one then the country is really not ready for change. You can lie, misspeak, mislead, already say in so many words, that Iran is your next target and people will still vote for you. They would rather have a deceitful white woman than what seems to be an upright black man with only good for the people on his agenda. Nothing has really changed since the days of Jack Kennedy or even before. I am heartened by the number of young people that are backing Obama and for the middle class whites - what you sow, so shall you reap. So she won - this time. If she comes up against McCain, there will be a 'third Bush term'.
ReplyDeleteSince you wrote this blog, I believe Obama has rallied. I think he has taken the hit as a contructive criticism and come out fighting. I still believe he will win the nomination, and HOPE, really hope that he will kick some McCain Butt!
