So Today Is a Big Day...A Super Day

Well we have been waiting for this day for a long long time. If you love politics as much as I do, today is like Christmas. I am so pumped and excited to see how people react, how the media will portray the results. Ultimately we might find out if the Democratic Party will shoot themselves in the foot AGAIN!

I say this because its all but certain that John McCain will be the Republican nominee. I admire the man tremendously and actually agree with him on many items, definitely not Iraq, but many other issues. Now back to the foot shooting. We must look at who likes McCain and who votes for him. He gets moderate republicans and independents. Two very powerful groups, plus add he will get the conservative voters by default even though they despise him as the lesser of two evils, there numbers might be down a little but consider the alternatives.

IF democrats push for Clinton I have very few reservations that come November there will be a republican in the White House again. Clinton is a decisive person with great political qualities, but she is also damaged goods as everyone in the world knows her. She has a ceiling of support. She attracts democrats and nobody else. Hell even inside the party there is some strong anti-Clinton votes. She does not attract independents. The simple math says that she cannot mathematical win with only democrats.

Some secondary consideration. A lot of the voter turnout this year has been youth vote and first time voters. They overwhelming go towards Obama which is a great thing for our democracy. Yet if his movement is broken I don't see these new voters coming out in November for Clinton...they will feel like the lost, it would be the individual vs. THE MAN fight where the individual always get screwed. Many may just stay home and say they gave politics a shot, and they got it shoved right back in there face.

Also we must consider the two candidates and what they mean to the future. Obama is actually increasing the size of the Democrats pie. Hillary is dividing up the same old pie. If they want to build life long members and a long term majority they must increase the size of the party, because come November no more Bush to drive people to them.

So please I beg of you, vote today with a vision for the long term future of the Democratic Party in mind, because we all know what happens when a Clinton is out front...feasting time for the Republicans.
