Time to Sit Down Miss Hillary!

After more than dozen straight losses in the Democratic presidential primaries, it ain't looking so good for Miss Hillary. If any other candidate had lost eleven straight primaries, the media would have written them off, but Miss Hillary isn't being written off yet. Last year this time, she was touted as the Democratic candidate to beat. Things have certainly changed and Miss Hillary is sounding like the neighbor's annoying little chihuahua that won't stop yapping.



While refusing to declare her down and out, the media is now fabricating some kind of false hope that she can still win the nomination if she wins the Democratic primaries in Ohio and Texas. **blank stare** In the oft chance that she does win these two states, she still won't have enough delegates to catch Obama. It's time for her to step aside because firing campaign managers and reshuffling her campaign staff isn't going to win her the Democratic nomination.

The biggest problem with Miss Hillary's campaign is Hillary. She bought into her own hype too early and that coupled with her arrogance has likely cost her the nomination. She's losing her core supporters to Obama because as barren as she claims his rhetoric is, most people find it much more inspiring than her experienced, "ready on Day One" oratory.

Now that her ship is sinking, look for her supporters, many of whom are members of the civil rights mafia to dump her for Obama. Yesterday, John Lewis, Democratic Congressman from Georgia and super delegate, switched his support to Obama. Look for more defections when Obama wins Texas and Ohio. After all, everyone wants to be with a winner.

Anybody but Hillary, Please!

Yesterday's Democratic primaries failed to yield a clear winner between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. While it's too premature for me to do my "anybody but Miss Hillary" dance, I'm hoping John Edwards will throw his delegates to Obama so we can end this ridiculousness for once and for all. Behind in fund raising, Miss Hillary had to dip into her personal fortune and loan herself $5 million to keep up with the $32 million Obama raised in January. If you can't raise enough money to run for president then you can just buy your way in?! Let's hope not! That just gives me yet another reason to dislike Hillary Clinton.


I bet folks like Bob Johnson and Rev. Calvin Butts are disappointed that their girl didn't emerge as the front runner after yesterday's primaries. As much as they tried to help Miss Hillary, it didn't materialize into votes for her. Tsk, tsk. On the other hand, look for the Obama bandwagon to swell with more supporters and even more haters. The Clintons are going to have to make a bigger pitcher of that haterade and invite all of their civil rights cronies. The latest reason why Miss Hillary should be the Democrat's presidential candidate, according to the folks that run her campaign, is that she's been tested by the media; seems we know all the Clinton's dirty laundry but don't know Obama's? Oh, really? I guess we'll have to wait for Miss Hillary's people to dig it up or maybe she'll call Bob Johnson again.


It's still a long way to the Democratic primary and many things can happen between now and then. The blabbermouth politcal analysts and pundits will be deconstructing Obama's victories which they will attribute to the large turnout of black folks (as expected) in such remote places as Alaska and North Dakota. Can these analysts and experienced news reporters ever get beyond race? Not one candidate in the Republican primary has to contend with issues of race, ever.
