 OK, this weekend, it cost me over $50 to almost fill up a Hyundai. Enough is enough. If the Democratic Party wants to fulfill its vision to support “honest leadership and open government,” its members need to elect someone who embodies the qualities to make that happen. While Sen. Clinton has every right to stay in the race, there are growing numbers of us who wish to challenge her claim that she’s the stronger candidate.
We’ll treat this as a countdown:
3. Her superdelegate lead has been demolished. The more party leaders witness the public cry for a new political and ideological approach to engagement and problem solving, the more they are starting to realize that Sen. Obama is the stronger candidate for the election in the fall. We’re all sick of the slinging mud…the WWE tactics are tired.
2. Her campaign is in financial trouble. How much longer can Sen. Clinton get away with lending her campaign millions of dollars while calling her opponent “elitist”? I mean, does anyone else see the disconnect? To me, this is dishonest…and not exactly a quality I desire in a leader. I think we’ve had enough of that in the past.
1. Sen. Clinton claims to be a progressive candidate, and yet she has neither rejected nor denounced the support of people who admit on nationally-televised media that they would never vote for a man of African descent to be president…how progressive is that? If she really stood for equal justice, this would be appalling.
