Have Democrats Murdered the Election?Sadly, I'm beginning to think the answer may be "YES". Whose idea was it to run the first serious black contender with the chance to become President against the first serious female candidate who actually has a chance to become President. Either you will have all or most black people not voting for a candidate or you will have all women over 40 not voting for a candidate. The anger runs very very deep regard to these two groups. It is almost like something out of Karl Rove's playbook saying, "Boy. Wouldn't this screw up the democrats to run these two against each other?"
I believe the democrats have been blindsided by a women's lib candidate facing a Black Candidate conundrum. The Blacks won't vote for Hillary and the empowered women won't vote for Obama. It's a disaster for the democrats. The groundswell of younger voters don't realize the conundrum because they haven't been around long enough. But I'm almost 60 and have been voting in every presidential election since 1968.
When Obama said today something like, I'm running only for President not Vice President ,what older democrats heard was,"F--- you, Grandma Hillary, it's time for a change." For younger democrats the answer might be "Right on, Obama!" However, for democrats over 40 it would be an incredible slight against the old guard of Hillary and Bill that he wouldn't even politely brush it off. No, it's "F--- you, Hillary. I'm running for President." The sad outcome of his reaction simply will likely be that she has to keep running to the convention. There is now and will be rancor I'm afraid. The party has just fractured. This awful conundrum is right out of Karl Rove's playbook, Democrats! How could you let him divide and conquer you again with so much at stake?
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
