Meanwhile With the Big Race

(Sorry, I guess I shouldn't play the Race Issue.)

Seriously, though, things continue to get worse on that level. I am getting more and more worried. I heard on the news the other evening (last night I think) that 20 some percent of both Obama and Clinton supporters would consider supporting McCain if their candidate isn't nominated.

You've got to be kidding me. I can't believe that kind of approach since both of them have almost exactly identical positions on almost every issue. The differences are often a matter of language. And yet, their supporters would vote for McCain. Talk about narrow-minded politics.

Which leads me to part 2 of the rant. Some Big Money Clinton Supporters have threatened House Speaker Nancy Pelosi because she made a statement about the superdelegates being open to the will of the people. It was a "we're going to take our money and run if you don't listen to us" threat. Talk about shooting the Donkey right between the eyes. I gather that Pelosi's office made a statement today that she stands by what she has been saying all along. Good for her!

I know I am a lonely voice in this little old blog. But I am sure I am not alone when I want to tell the Big Guys and Gals to lighten up. The die-hard Democrats may say that the party won't be hurt, but when elections are as narrowly decided as they now seem to be, it isn't the die-hards the Democrats look to lose.

It is the election itself in November.

Unfortunately, as Winston Churchill once said,

It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.

It is messy and challenging and a lot of other things. But I agree with Mr. Churchill. I am not ready to trade it. I just hope we don't.
