Dead Heat On a Merry-Go-Round

It is a dead heat on a merry-go-round. The "bitter clinging" statement finally strips away the Obama veneer and belies the "elitist" intellectual that is backed by some very powerful friends. This is a war in the Democratic Party between the Clinton faction and the Uber Liberal faction. If one recalls it was the Daly, Andrew Cumo faction that were Albert Gore sympatico's in 2000. Where does Obama call home, Chicago you say. Isn't that Daly territory? How interesting that Obama should sweep the Midwest and West. Wisconsin isn't that just north of Chicago? Indiana isn't that in the Chicago orbit?

Hillary on the other hand has swept the states where the Democratic Party has well established party organizations going back a century or more in some states. Like NY, PA, OH, CA, NV, MA and TX. It is no surprise that she wins on establishment ground that owe her and Bill favors or let us say good will. Recalling Mr Rendells' participation here. Hillary can never call it a day, as she knows this is her best shot at returning to the White House. Hillary will literally need a stake through her heart to quit, losing isn't a word in her lexicon.

Hillary has very high negatives and has always been seen as less than an honest person by the Conservative faction in the USA. With her Bosnia statement, it just shows everybody how selective her reality and veracity is. As the primary campaign season drags on Obama veneer as a soaring agent of change is becoming frayed. At the end he may wind up looking like another Kerry, Gore or Kennedy politically. The change that Obama wants to implement will be the same tired old Liberal dream agenda of old. Sorry old grandpa McCain is looking better all the time. He would in all probability be the best Democratic Party candidate of them all.

This Democratic Party primary season is fast becoming another exercise in how to snatch defeat from victory. The election cycle was served up on a platter for the Democrats to win the gold. Yet due to the infighting in the party, it once again is going to expose the carnival shell game that is the Democratic Party.

Hillary by all accounts was the annoited one before the primary season began. The expected Democratic Party flag bearer. She had eight years to get all her ducks in a row, with the deeply entrenched party organizations in the major states of NY, CA, MA, OH, PA, NV FL, TX and MI. All she lacked was a token opposition. Yet out of left field rides Obama, who throws his hat in the ring. Obama had the backing of the powerful Midwest faction of the Democratic Party known as the Chicago Mayor Daly Machine. Low and behold Obama trounces Hillary in white bread Iowa and now we have a viable contender for all those who have a distaste for the Clinton mystique. The Obama backers think Obama can carry the South for the first time in a (**#$ age and he is a made to order candidate for those upper middle class intellectual Democratic voters/supporters. Now all they have to do is nullify the middle, The Bubba Clinton voter class.

However losing isn't in the Clinton lexicon and Hillary ain't goin out until the fat lady sings and or a stake is driven through her heart. So it has become a slug fest that is stripping away the The bright shining hope that the Democratic Party wanted to present to the electorate on election day. Instead the banner is fast becoming frayed and the hope that was offered is beginning to look like more of the same tired old rhetoric of old. The Democrats just want to implement their vision of utopia, more taxes and more government programs, this time around limiting oposition under the banner of reforming the system by eliminating special interests.

So how will this all play itself out. Unless Hillary comes to her senses at some point she in a very real way could destroy the Democratic Party by splitting it irrevocabilby. If Hillary wins the nomination in the those smoke filled back rooms the Obama supporters will become disfranchised and leave. On the other hand a good percentage of the Bubba Clinton voter class will take a look at the "elitist" Obama camp and head over to the old familar shoe of John McCain.

There is one thing the Democrats are right about, it is time for a change. The Democratic Party is oboslete, those old coalitions no longer fit together and must find like water, their own level. A new political allignment in the US must take place, before America can forge ahead. Otherwise it will be more of the same old, same old.
