Comments on: Clinton supporter: Race causing 'negative dividends' http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/07/clinton-supporter-race-causing-negative-dividends/ All politics, all the time Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:22:40 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Frank http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/07/clinton-supporter-race-causing-negative-dividends/#comment-1039634 Frank Wed, 07 May 2008 20:50:21 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=6983#comment-1039634 There will be a split in the Party. The only way to avoid the split is to re-run the Primaries in Michigan and Florida straight from scratch. One of the reasons why I have a great difficulty in supporting Obama if Clinton loses the nomination is that I believe Obama is avoiding the very issue that is splitting the Democratic Party. The candidates are not the main issue when it comes to Michigan and Florida, the issue is that America is a democracy where all its citizens have a right to vote. If anyone is against this principle of democracy then I cannot vote for that person. Obama has vetoed this solution. If Obama wins the nomination with the majority of delegates from all its 50 states included plus the other territories then so be it. If Clinton wins then that is also OK. BUT all delegates must in the count. There will be a split in the Party. The only way to avoid the split is to re-run the Primaries in Michigan and Florida straight from scratch.

I truly believe the Obama Campaign needed a few Super today(See Above) to start the trickle and keep momentum, but I also believe it is a measured move to be respectfull of her candidacy and the voters of IN. The writing has been on the wall for a while now and there is no need to rub anyones nose in it. The Obama Campaign knows this, and as it becomes apparent to everyone else the added media attention of a continuing "competative" election is good for the party. So, I say to all other Obama supporters... 1. Don't Gloat! Nobody like an arrogant winner. 2. Don't push Hillary supporters to switch right away. No TRUE democrat wants McCain picking Supreme Court Justices. 3. Don't call for her to drop out, yet. Together Hillary and Barack can still register THOUSANDS of new democrats in the upcoming states and set huge primary turnout records(read: more positive news coverage for Dems, keeping Mccain out of the limelight). This can not be overstated, the amount of time spent in these states help the margins in November. Even if some RED states stay RED and merely lower the margin the Dem. Nominee Loses by, that difference is likely to net 5 Congressional seats that may not have been attainable. 4.MOST IMPORTANT... Pledge to vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination. More important than that... MEAN IT when you make that pledge!! Because Frankly, As upset as I would be if things go for Hillary, we can not afford McCain/bush for 4 more years. Dem's Unite!!

Unfortunately, it will keep the Democrats from winning the White House in November and I thought this was the reason to have Super Delegates was to make sure the nominee was electable.

There are negative dividends that will have to be paid by the democratic party from this race. There was a chance to have the White House for 16 yrs and no one took the time to step back from their ego and focus on that. It was a time that could have been used to undo all the things that have been done to this country over the last 8 years. As a democrat I love Hillary, personal flaws and all. At least in the political arena she states her stance, Obama...well lets see...he dropped his 20 year mentor on a dime after taking in all his reteric for 20 years and saying he never heard it...hmmm...was he asleep in church for 20 years, as well as lunch, dinner and the elder meetings. I need a president not Rip van Winkel at 3 AM!! No Clinton....McCain you have my vote!!! There are negative dividends that will have to be paid by the democratic party from this race.

He is right, you know. Imagine what it would be like if and when Obama gets the nomination. Obama is not going to be able to tell McCain, "Lets get this done" when the presidential race heats up. You think Kerry got swiftboated by the republicans....wait to you see what they will do to Obama. Wright controversey not finished either. Then they will bring up Ayers and Sinclair and some Donald (I believe) Young . The superdelegates should listen to Hillary's remarks on Obama's electability because those remarks do have a ring of truth to it. Whether you like Hillary or not.

My daughter ask me last night, "if she can't catch up in the pledged del count then why is she going on?" How long has this race been about the pledged del count. Why are we now talkig about Popular vote and super dels and two states that broke the rules. The last time I checked the race was about one thing. PLEDGED DEL COUNT.

This makes her look pathetic, the democratic leadership look like idiots and the democratic party look like they are weak. It is time to recognize that her race has run out. Howard Dean and other party leadership need to join together to insist that she recognizes the inevitible. We need to have the presidential race start being about the democratic nominee vs. the republican nominee. She is hurting the democratic party. At some point, Hillary just looks desperate.
