Why can’t Hillary Clinton be more like Alan Keyes?
Everyone knows that Barack Obama is a transformational figure. Everyone knows that Barack Obama has an overwhelming money advantage. Everyone knows that Barack Obama has the admiration and support of the Democratic establishment. Everyone knows that Barack Obama is Powered by Hope™.
With all these advantages, why can’t Barack Obama win?
Because Hillary Clinton wont let him. It’s all Hillary’s fault. Hillary Clinton has been very mean to Barack Obama and she continues to be very mean. Right now at this very moment, Hillary Clinton is in Indiana asking Democratic voters to vote for her on May 6. What she conveniently fails to mention to these Indiana Democrats is that if they do what she asks, they wont be allowed to vote for Barack Obama on May 6.
Election laws only allow voters to vote for one of the presidential candidates on May 6.
She’s pulled this dirty trick before. It’s right out of the Clinton dirty play book. It’s not fair and it’s mean.
Why can’t Hillary Clinton be more like Alan Keyes? When Barack Obama ran for the Senate in 2004, Republican Allan Keyes ran against him. Keyes ran a much more subdued campaign against Obama. He didn’t make things so difficult for Obama.
He wasn’t tough on Obama like Hillary has been.
If Hillary would simply drop out and let Obama win, he could concentrate on running against John McCain. John McCain is a Republican like Allan Keyes. Because of this, we know he won’t be mean to Barack Obama like Hillary Clinton has been. He will be more like Allan Keyes. With Hillary finally out of the picture, Obama wont have to answer any more tough questions about his positions or his judgment. The scrutiny by the national mainstream news media will finally stop.
Let the Obama win.
I’m assuming your surprise is part of the sarcastic bent of this post. Obama has been left off the ballot already in a number of polling places within otherwise kosher states, to say nothing of his complete absence from the Michigan primary. But knowing what I now know about the way Hillary ticks, it’s probably asking for big trouble letting Obama get the nomination. The last thing we need is four years of Democratic leadership rendered meaningless by Hillary’s petty, contrary, counterproductive posturing for 2012.
Come to think of it, avoiding that mess would be the primary advantage of letting Hillary get this “OMG I can be teh president” business out of her system sooner rather than later.
The reason Obama’s name was off the ballot in Michigan was because he petitioned the state to have his name removed. The idea was to make Clinton look bad in the eyes of Iowa voters. For some reason, people there pride themselves in the fact that they are the first state to decide who are next president will be. Having been to Iowa, I realize they don’t have much to be excited about. You can bet that if Obama’s people thought they would do well in Michigan, his name would have remained on the ballot. It’s the same reason he and his people have been blocking any attempt to hold another election in Michigan. They know a lion’s share of the delegates would go to Clinton.
“Having been to Iowa, I realize they don’t have much to be excited about.”
I don’t know what you’re talking about. I adore corn.
I was staying in the big city of Des Monies and my hotel key wasn’t a plastic magnetic strip card, but an actual metal key. Like hotels used in olden times.
