Clinton is shameless. If her coronation had gone as planned, and she'd wiped everyone out by Super Tuesday, she wouldn't care if half the delegates in the country weren't seated.
She only became a populist (and working class!) when her elitist plans -- big money early, then working her rolodex of insider super delegates -- failed. What she's doing now is simple extortion: give me the nomination or I'll wreck the party's chance to win in November. What a sad, sad spectacle.
While everyone is concerned about the Democrates fighting it out with each, it is never realized that both candidates went into the election process hoping to be President.
Mr McCain in my own opinion did not go into this election to be President, but was recruited to fill a slot by his party to have a candidate as nearly the same as the present President. Mr McCain is running a party position as evident that he has no concrete answers as to help America but relies on what has already been done and then follow that for four years. So again in my opinion, Mr McCain is a loyal and faithful party member who is running because the Republican Party needed a candidate to run on the basic format of previous Republican winners. That ideal is to make wealth during office and insure wealth when out of office. Most Americans small and narrow thoughts believe this to benefit them even when their businesses die, pensions are gone, elderly are eating from meal to meal on a meager standard and allot more negatives. The firm belief is "Well if I don't have much, then at least "those" people don't have anything."
I personally am a independent, but this years election process by it's delay has made me realize that this country can do so much more than be insecure and slow of mental growth. The other countries aren't stealing our work. It's our country's low standard of caring and sharing within that hurts the most. Rev. Wright, that's a joke, when the class of slavery is not over. Not as one would think for people who are of color, but as to Jews, women, low income families, recently unemployed middle class and health care issues. The United States deserves better. I know that both our Officals will leave office very wealthy men. says allot doesn't it.
So if the election is close than we can blame the small minded individuals who think that when they elect someone. That as long as it only benefits one people they are the slow minded people who haven't caught onto the idea -When did they benefit in any way? They haven't succeeded from keeping people out of their neighborhood or their jobs because the person in office made it so. It's because their neighborhoods and jobs are going over seas, and they lose their homes because they can't meet the payments on them. Does the things happening to those insured and lose everything mean something, or at least provided a clue who isn't on their side. So Hilary or Obama as thought to be the Democatic way to spend on poor people? Or, Mr McCain to get rich and friends do the same and those who voted for them blame their ills on people of color, another country, or someone else. Rev. Wright - rich. So was all the Revs we have heard of from Rev. Graham to all the rest. Get with it America if you want something for your vote, just look at what you have got over the years. If it still hurts then the reason other countries are doing so well, remains as one simple fact, they aren't stupid.
The city got a big win when Shirley Kornreich basically reversed herself on the Randalls Island ballfields matter. Real clear legal logic on that one: the contract to build is void but you can still keep building anyways.
That's because she needs Bloomberg's help to push Senate Republicans to confirm her for Steve Crane's Supreme Court seat. Her nomination was tabled after trial lawyers complained bitterly.
Senate Democrats might not view this blatent attempt to curry favor with the other side of the aisle so well.
