Here's why we should write in Hillary Clinton should delegates fall into the GOP trap..
I'm going to forego political-correctness and get down to the brass tacks of what nobody in the democratic party wants to hear. It has to do with racism and common sense. And no, the two are definitely not related but are integral aspects of the wide spectrum of people who make up the democratic party.
When I'm playing devil's (GOP) advocate here, it helps to consider that when it comes to bare-bones strategy, they think like reptiles..
1. The GOP/Big Media blatantly and shamelessly promoted Barack Obama in the primaries to "presumptive nominee" (Oh how they hoped and still do that Hillary will formally concede...she hasn't) knowing full well that there are way too many covertly or otherwise bigoted whites in the democratic party to make him a viable threat after the convention, number wise. And failing the bigoted angle, they knew that there are also way too many educated and practical people in the democratic party middle ground who are experienced enough to know that a smooth-talking, underexperienced Johnny-come-lately like Obama would spell a win for them in these troubled times. They are taking advantage of legitimate fear.
(did I mention they operate like reptiles?)
2. They actively sabotaged HIllary Clinton, knowing that not only the covertly, or otherwise, bigoted whites in the democratic party would support her upon her nomination, but that her longtime support of minorities would unify the Obama crowd as well for a real and viable threat to McCain. The GOP knows full well that Clinton would have white, minority and women's support. That's everyone folks. And worst of all (again, coming from their POV) Hillary Clinton's husband brought our country the strongest economy in US history. That was a demon they could not beat back to save their lives.
So who did they promote? Was it the candidate they knew who would split the democratic party into shards and gain them a win in November or the one who would unify all democrats and gain them a loss in November?
Remember, these guys have been doing this bit for decades and longer. They're professionals.. If you don't believe me, ask yourself why McCain hasn't gone for Obama's weakest of weak spots: His abuse of fellow progressive minorites in the Chicago election. Do you actually think that Obama abusing fellow minorities (his main base of support) has somehow slipped by the GOP? Do you think they'll let it rest in the interest of not stooping that low? Guess again. Look for that as soon as the August convention ends.
The Trap: There are so many GOP fingers crossed right now hoping Obama people will fight to the death to save their fatally-flawed candidate to become the actual nominee come August that you wouldn't even believe.
It's so simple a kindergartener could figure it out. Yet still it seems to have escaped the radar of the delegates.
Should we run a race on race? Obama said we should...and that's a big problem because it's a double-edged sword. He wants people to recognize minorities for their acheivements while simultaneously and shamelessly elevating himself, without qualifications, based on his racial ancestory. He wants to behave abusively towards minorities, and gain their respect as their champion all at the same time. I see this guy operating and it makes my head spin. And still no one notices this glaring aspect of Obama's racism. Does he identify with his white upbringing? Or his absent black father, the finance minister in Africa? Maybe it depends on what angle he's working..?
The situation is complex. That's why we MUST ignore the temptation to be drawn to race or gender, or singsongs and dated hype and just look at resume's and who would be the most likely candidate for a win based on experience. If Obama had a resume' that listed active military service or experience as a foreign ambassador..anything that might suggest he could handle the helm instead of flubb it, (and if he himself had not brought up race as an issue), even closet-bigots could see that he outshines McCain. Yet those necessary qualifications are not on his resume'. And those other complex problems he himself has created with manipulating racism....he just cannot win folks. I'm speaking from the devil's POV; and dammit, they're right.. At least on this one, and most crucial point: Obama is UNELECTABLE for any one of dozens of potent reasons..
It just happens this time around the more experienced and qualified democratic candidate also coincides with the one candidate who can also garner the most support come November. That would be the candidate that the GOP trap deftly shoved aside and prematurely declared the loser (RIP Tim Russert), and keep drumming in our puny little heads that Obama is THE (whisper: "presumptive") DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. Will we walk like dumb cattle right into the pungee pit?
Sometimes the truth is a bitter pill.
Remember, I'm foregoing political correctness now and telling you how it really is. Don't blame the messenger.
And if the delegates want to be manipulated by Obama or the GOP into sacraficing our party on the altar of blind political correctness...count me out.
I'll be voting for Hillary Clinton this Fall whether I check a box next to her name or write it in on a blank line.
