The fight of the Century

Hey, I have to give Hillary credit, her winning Texas and Ohio, albeit not cutting much into Obama’s delegate lead, tells us this is going to Denver in one of the closest primaries in history. I knew she were going to win Ohio, but not by ten points. Texas was a little surprise, knowing that the polls were trending in Obama’s favor, to a point where he has a slight lead but well within the margin of error in several polls. So now what. If you thought this race is interesting now with Hillary and Barack neck and neck, just hold on to your seats its going to get really interesting quick. Wyoming and Mississippi are next but the only big prize left on the board is Pennsylvania (and a handful of states including North Carolina are coming up after)but their primary is in SIX weeks, so their will be a lot of attention paid to the Keystone state. No one will come out of this primary season the decisive winner because of the Democrats are handing out their delegates proportionately to vote total. This doesn’t mean there won’t be fireworks before the convention. Everywhere I see down the news channel dial tells me that Hillary will start aggressively attacking Barack’s inexperience and his connection with shady real estate deals in Chicago and Barack will fire back questioning Hillary’s past business dealings. So much for a civilized campaign. When so much is at stake, this will go back to good old fashioned, down and dirty politics.

With so much attention paid to the Democratic race with McCain having sewn up the Republican nomination, does this hurt or help McCain. I think it will help him a lot for many reasons:

1) He can rest up (not saying he is old and needs it), having been on the road for a year now can wear down any politician, having made many speeches and appearances daily.

2) He have the time to properly go through the list of candidates for his Vice President running mate and create a strategy for the general election, no matter who he will be facing. The Democratic candidate won’t have this luxury.

3)You know that the Democratic primary will start to get down and dirty, turning off some who were looking at Hillary and Barack as different type of politicians who are above mudslinging

4)Hillary will have to start fighting for delegates from Michigan and Florida to be seating which will at least alienate some democrats no matter what the outcome will be

5)John McCain can fundraising and having to spend very little giving him a huge war chest for the general election while either Clinton or Obama will be behind the eight ball in funds by having spent more than planned (who would of thought this race will be this close).

6)Knowing the liberal media, having articles on John McCain toward the back of the newspaper is a good thing, no news is good news, their resources will be tied up covering the Democrats and finding dirt on them instead of finding dirt (or in the case of the New York Times making some up).

Another interesting point is that this race will be decided by Super delegates not committed delegates voted by citizens of this country. This is from a Democratic party who were in denial as George Bush defeated Al Gore in 2000. They were complaining up and down to anyone who would listen that that George Bush’s victory wasn’t legitimate. They complained that a republican loaded supreme court elected our president even though Al Gore won the popular vote. Hillary Clinton could lose the nomination by losing the Super Delegate race even by winning more votes as a whole this primary season (as of right now she is leading if you count MI and FL). As for me I will be sitting on the couch with me feet up and enjoying this. Let the fireworks begin.
