Clinton or Obama

Who will win the democratic nomination? I've heard the the headlines and the main drive by media folks are saying that it's over. Obama has won. Isn't this about the 5th time they have made that conjecture since the fall primaries began. I'm still not convinced he is the winner here.

I'm obviously not a fan of either, just as I'm not a fan of McCain. It's no surprise that my guy was Huckabee and if it wasn't going to be him, then I would lean toward a Libertarian candidate. My only problem is it would have to be a pro life Libertarian and one who wasn't dogmatic about leaving Iraq.

So in getting back to the dems. What gives Obama the upper hand for the nomination? Rev Wright or Obama's ties with other radicals? Does anyone really think Clinton is going to back down and not take this argument to the convention. Will all the emotional Obama supporters show up in the fall on election day? What if MTV or VHI has a marathon of real world's on that particular day? What if a really great festival is coming to town? These young emotionalised voters have a pretty whimsical track record. Will they show up now that they've made their statement in the primaries?

I do not like the Clintons. I do not like Obama. I have studied socialism, Marxism and communism. I have visited countries where they are practiced. I was not impressed. These types of governments have been field tested all over the world and have failed. I honestly believe that the Clintons will move much farther back toward the moderate middle than Obama - if elected.

November and the after will be very important in solving our country's tough problems. There is a laundry list you know.
