| | After finally casting my ballot for a specific Democrat candidate in the presidential election, I feel I've been following most of the arguements, controversies, and all around 'hoopla' pretty well for the past several months. Although I'm adverse to anyone who will mimick President Bush's approach to democracy and to interpreting the Constitution, I am starting to believe Democrats do not deserve the opportunity to pick one of their own to be the new president. You'd think after eight years of being outraged, we'd have our act together... We have selective memories, which allow us to replay every word fumbled from the mouth of the current president, but we mentally block the moments when one of our strongest candidates for the Democratic party tells blatant lies and changes personality masks as often as female celebrities change outfits. I understand that the race is close, but it's not close enough for her to actually win, without getting the superdelegates to go against the will of the people, which will disillusion voters in November, thus leading the way for Republicans once again. The longer she holds on to the campaign trail, the more I feel we should be bracing ourselves for the moment at the DNC when Obama's name is announced as the nominee and Hillary goes up to accept the award. Zoolander anyone? As we all stand around scratching our heads about why Hillary can't accept the fact that now is not her time, I think we're overlooking a couple of monumental facts: Hillary is no stranger to not getting her way and usually has a plan for rising up from the ashes. I think she's going to do what she can to botch November for the Democrats and come back in four years to remind us that she tried to warn us that Obama couldn't beat McCain, forgive us for doubting her, and swoop in to save us from another four years of Republican rule. I think she's a brilliant woman and has cleared quite a path for future women everywhere, but she's crossed too many moral lines to be allowed into the Promised Land. |
