Facts can often be very painful events; especially when facts conflict with the will of pundits, spinners, the media and biased parties. The fact is that until you win 2025 delegates you haven’t tied up the democrat nomination. Neither of the two remaining candidates has done so yet.
If Obama gets the eventual nomination he will have done so without putting Hillary away decisively. He may not get 2025 pledged delegates. Without getting the needed 2025 pledged delegates he will have arrived at the nomination only by the disenfranchisement of citizen voters in Michigan and Florida; the used of rogue super delegates; outspending Hillary by 400 percent; the press swooning over the senator from Illinois; and alienating so-called Regan democrats.
Obama does not look like a strong candidate to me. He can’t put Hillary away with pledged delegates; can’t put her away without disenfranchising Michigan and Florida voters; can’t put her away even with outspending her by 400 percent; can’t put her away without super delegates; and can’t put her away without the press campaigning for his candidacy.
Obama reminds me of a fat Canadian Gander, just like the kind that live in and around Chicago. They’ve been living off of the largess of wealthy country clubs, protected and happy for so long they have forgotten how to fly south to their natural feeding ground for the winter. Coyotes love fat Canadian ganders that are too happy not to leave their gilded golf courses.
John McCain looks like a Coyote to me.
