In the interests of the party, country and the world the most qualified candidate (Hillary) should fight and win.

Another unintended consequence is it is looking like Obama will be a far easier candidate for McCain to beat than Hillary, thanks to the venomous pastor who gave BO street cred when he was in local and state politics but is now a millstone around his swan-like neck.

I feel we are approaching the time that Hillary Clinton seriously needs to consider bowing out of the nomination process; in the interests of the party and in the interests of the nation. Bill Richardson’s endorsement was a major tipping point. The writing is on the wall; Barack Obama has the nomination. The country now needs to focus on the Obama – MacCain debate and nomination.

Republicans should be mindful of the Law of Un-Intended Consequences !

Governor Gray Davis might have served out his second term to January 2007 instead of being successfully recalled in 2003 had he not influenced the Republicans’ choice of a gubernatorial candidate. Davis earned the bitter ire of California Republicans by manipulating the results of the ’02 Republican primary. Fearing primary candidate LA Mayor Dick Riordan as a stronger opponent in the general election, he backed negative TV ads highlighting Riordan’s pro-choice stance during the primary campaign. As a result, conservative Republicans flocked to challenger Bill Simon. Simon handily won the Republican primary and Davis got the opponent he thought would be weaker in the general election. But Simon surprised everyone with a surprisingly close election night result, November 2002.

Incensed that the Democratic Governor had hijacked their primary, Republicans began gathering recall petitions as soon as Davis was sworn in, January 2003. By September ’03, Davis had been recalled opening the door for Arnold Schwarzenegger to become Governor.

Rush Limbaugh and his listeners have short memories and should know better.

Hillary and Barack are sniping each other apart personally since they don’t disagree much on the issues. There is really little ammo each could use to attack the other strictly on the issues.

John McCain is enjoying all of this. Hillary and Barack are like brother bear and sister bear going at it. Let’s just hope they kiss and make-up before Denver and bury their grievances.

Bill Richardson and James Carville need to air out their dirty dry cleaning in private. The Democratic party needs to show unity and solidarity, or else John “Dubya” McCain is going to keep us in Iraq for another 100 years.

Hillary and Barack need to take a step back. They need to realize that sometimes when you win (personally), you lose. You lose because you lose your party. Your party of values.

The Democratic Party should not adopt tactics of Karl Rove and use them on their own kind. As Bush Sr. quipped often, “It wouldn’t be prudent”.
