Let the healing begin....

Healing my a**.....

The recriminations today appear to be thicker than molasses in wintertime, what with Clinton supporters feeling that they have been cheated out of something that they are, or were, owed by somebody, and Obama supporters urgently attempting to pretend that there really is no problem over here.

Geez.

Keep this in mind.



Bob Barr. A caretaker until we can get somebody else.

Disinformation

Well, here we are.

Barak Obama has enough delegates today to win the nomination. The other candidate has even acknowledged that in a backhanded sort of way, and through a proxy, has indicated that the second spot might be acceptable, you know, if it would help.

How humble can one be?

This is not yet over.

The other candidate is going to do everything, everything, that can be done, above and below board to get the party nod, one way or another.

Start thinking of who you might vote for, and what kind of world you want to live in. Granted, there is not a lot of choice right now, and any potential change would be incremental at best.

History is being made, and exposed, before our eyes.


UPDATE

ABC News (and a couple of others) are reporting that the candidate will exit the race this Saturday. (How do you spell relief?). I will believe it when I hear it, and then wait to see what kind of deal was made prior to the announcement. I am certain that the candidate will be a major player in a democratic administration, if not as the second chair, then as a major policy seat or possibly as a member of the nations highest court. (It is possible that an ex President could be named to the court, and that a sitting senator be named to a cabinet post--wouldn't that be interesting....).

In any case, the Clinton era is not yet over.

Stay tuned.

Today's the day....

Well, today, by most account's, seems to be the day that the fate of the Democratic Party will be decided.

By this time tomorrow, one candidate will have decided to either press on, thus smothering the party in the eyes of a new generation of voters, or to gracefully back away from a long sought and cherished goal, both for herself and for a very sizable and significant constituency.

This is a historic day, and not to be wrapped in sarcasm or petty innuendo, (a couple of things that I do excel at, when I put my mind to it). In the event that I ever have grandchildren, (knocking wood here), I will remember this day and possibly reflect on how the world changed this week.

Oddly enough, the past few weeks have defined the candidate in such a way that has both emphasized the reasons why she should, and should not become president. The fact that she, (yes, I know I am pointing an identifying finger here), is still here says a lot about here tenacity and determination. Jimmy Carter did not have this particular quality, although it was supplanted by a sense of dignity and honor that worked in his favor, and was a lot more palatable with voters. This tenacity has grated on a lot of folks who, in other circumstances, would back this candidate. It seems to go against a sense of fair play and the very essential quality that suggests to ones constituency that a candidate will work for the individual rather than the suggestion that the individual may benefit more from what the candidate will do, like it or not.

This particular player would have fit right into the screenplay for The Manchurian Candidate.

Certain comments attributed to her in the past few weeks and interpreted by many as machiavellian were certainly not out of character for her. She just isn't trusted. She would be elected as the least of a couple of evils, but in a situation of real choice and possibilities, well, what does one say? When I think of this person, I think of Leona Helmsley, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, G. Gordon Liddy, J. Edgar Hoover. I don't see my well being as even showing up on their radar screens, much as it doesn't with the current administration.

How the candidates handle the next few days will tell the tale. How the party handles the candidates is just as important.

I really don't know what is going to happen, but I hope that it happens soon, so that we, the people (or victims), have time to sort it out.

See you in a couple of days.
