The Top 5 Reasons Hillary Should Get The Nomination
I'm Back! For those of you who follow me on a daily basis, I have missed over the past 2 days... This will not happen again hopefully. I have been having some troubles with my file trasfers and have been working on an update to the site. I know you all have been anxiously awaiting my quick return, and returned I have. I will be posted daily once more.
Anyways, I am sure you guys did not care to read that^ :D. So today we will discuss politics, I decided this would be a nice way to come back to my blog. So--yesterday I went out and donated to the Hillary Clinton campaign. It was a feeling of accomplishment too. I really want her to win, she is the only candidate who can turn this country around mind you. Which is why she will end up with the Democratic nomination. I will go ahead and do 6 reasons for this one... I think they all have their importance.
#6) Can Obama Put Someone Away
Obama had his chance after Iowa, he then had a chance on Super Tuesday, then he had a chance in Ohio and Texas, and then he had a chance in Pennsylvania ... If this guy cannot put her away after that many chances, what makes you think that he can put McCain away in one chance? I think that we need someone running who can fight back, not someone who can give it back.
#5) Hillary's Voters
The people that are voting for Hillary Clinton are the hardnosed Decmocrats who stand by their word. There is a growing concern among the SuperDelegates that a good chunk of people voting for Hillary will vote for McCain before Obama. I really, off the top of my head, cannot come up with a reason as to why they would do this other than race. Which isn't a good excuse at all I might add. I think though that these Democrats are also a little bit concervative and when you see this guy coming in who plans to change everything-- that doesn't bode well for the voters. We cannot
have 15% voting Democrats or 30% of Hillary's voters missing the general election, or worse--voting for McCain, come November. It hurts the party and it will be a tough uphill battle if we are missing them.
#4) Leads Popular Vote
When you tack on Florida and Michigan Hillary leads in the popular vote. These votes do count as votes, whether or not they will count for delegates is stil to be determined though. The popular vote, in most peoples eyes, is more important than the delegates anyways. Especially in Democrats eyes... almost every one of us was arguing the point of the popular vote when Al Gore lost in 2000, so denying that you do not think popular vote is important would be hippocritical.
#3) Obama Outspent/Sourced Hillary
It is nearly indeniable that money has played a factor in this race. Obama has outspent Hillary in nearly every state across the board. Obama has recieved 190$ million in donations to Hillary's 160$ million. That is a huge--huge--difference. Obama outspent Hillary in Pennsylvania by a ratio of 12$ million to 4$million (or 3 to 1). If you cannot seriously tell me that that did not make a difference-- please just stay away from the polls. When you spend that much more than your opponent you should win, anything short of that should be considered embarrassing.
#2) Hillary Has Won The Big States
Let's face it, come November we need California-Texas-Ohio-Pennsylvania-New York- New Jersey-Florida-Michigan-Massachussetts. Those are heavily populated states that carry a large amount of delegates, and other than those there really isn't many "big" states left. Sure Obama can win the farmer states like Kansas that will go Republican in the fall, but Hillary can win
the states that will be "battlegrounds" come this fall. Also, how many Idaho's make a California. don't think it is likely you can win without New York-Texas-California-Ohio-Pennsylvania... so Obama has a huge issue
#1) Hillary Has The Experience
I love how the Obama camp keeps playing Hillary off as if she didn't do anything the entire time she was First Lady.Yeah I am sure she just sat there and watched as her health care plan magically wrote itself up *rolls eyes*. Might I throw some other things at you and see what sticks? Bosnia aside--that was a fluke--Hillary has been all over the place. Working with religious leaders and diplomats alike. Hillary went door to door in Massachusetts in the 80's trying to talk kids thinking of dropping out into staying with school. Whether or not you consider that diplomacy or not is debatable, but what is not is the experience that came a long with it. It is not just talking to the kids and getting to know them, she was able to learn about the peoples needs. It has helped her in understanding the nations needs, especially in the education department.
Which is up a creek right now, right along with our economy. Speaking of economy, I wonder how Obama will get by without raising taxes while attempting to put money in a fund for people who get themselves into bad loans, let the people figure it out for themselves. They should not have accepted the loan if they couldn't afford it, predatory or not.
While there is still probably more reasons I could go over, economy-war-whatevah... I do not think that is necessary. For a couple of reasons though, 1) you have already mulled over their positions on the issues and 2) it would bore you to go over a couple paragraphs of position differences, why they are better-- what have you. While I still think that we are on a horrible path in our economy that is going to take years and years to reverse, I also believe there is a quick fix. If we subsidize the farmers and everything we can to increase American food production it will drive down the extra costs of food and will help in the production of Ethanol.
I hope you liked my list for today, if you need to comment--like always, just go check out my forum or comment below.
