please here find the edited diary laying out why in the assessment i have made find senator obama to be the candidate i have chosen to support for president
whining and hand wringing over a cracked facade is counter productive to
the future of the democratic party...so consider this... what settles it
for me is...
...if senator clinton is the nominee, you can bet the independents and
republicans are not going to support her, and if by chance she is elected
you can forget gaining and holding any kind of congressional majority,
she wont be any help in marginal races where traditionally republican
areas have democratic inroads possible and will actually prevent such
inroads, her negatives are too high to do anything but maintain and
probrably ramp up the partisan divide in the populous and that is the
last thing we need in these troubling times.Shes doing a great job right
where she is and is more of an asset in the position she holds in the
senate. And she will most probrably not even get all the supporters of
her primary opponents for these very reasons even if they have to vote in
opposition or stay home...of course all these results stated above could
be what some may have in mind for the future to some end or another, but
i doubt theres informed consent among supporters about it, if they have
even considered any
...the two most probrable scenarios for the future stem from the fact
that the republican party is fractured, and in a way that makes recent
democratic schisms look like kumbaya around the campfire, in the fall
some will vote republican, some will vote for a democrat, some a third
party and some will stay home, and most independents will vote for a
democrat, democrats will turn out in record numbers and there will be a
healing and coming together amongst the populous and communites of
interest to work as one nation for a better tomorrow...OR...it will
galvanize and gather momentum and turn out in record numbers and the
independents will fragment, many going republican or third party, alot of
democrats will vote for a democrat, but some will vote for a third party
or even possibly for a republican, people will solidify their positions in
a polarized clime which will pit communities of interest one against the
other and things will end up at the impasse we are all already sick to
death of (unfortunately some literally)...everyone has to decide which
scenario they find conducive to a positive future for our nation...
