She's still alive!

As noted previously on this sometimes less-than-humble blog, I have become a Obama supporter...he was won me over.

But, I still want the Big Hill in precisely because of what SNL has noted the past 2 weeks...Obama has been treated with kid gloves by the media, and he hasn't really taken the punches she has.

Who knew it took SNL to change the tone a bit, and finally get the media to start to ask tough questions of him. I think it's too late for Hill to overwhelm Obama, and the delegates show that reality. But, I applaud her for staying in, possibly taking some hits herself for seemingly being a sore loser, to ensure Obama WINS this nomination...and not get it by default.

I respect many media people, but shame on those like Johnathon Alter, Rachel Maddow, and the Air America types who called for Hill to just quit. There's no way if the roles were reversed they'd be calling on Obama to call it quits. Shame on them.

And to those who continue to bitch and whine about the number of debates...get a clue. Debates are good for the country, the more debates the batter. Should we really be complaining about having too many debates on the issues of the day? Seriously?

Again, as noted in previous posts on this blog, Presidential candidates should be FORCED to appear in a fixed number of debates and/or a fixed number of hours of debate live on national television. So, if you're one who is complaining about the debates...then don't watch. But, those of us who takes these things seriously, and like a good debate on the nuances of issues.

Finally, as for the argument about the math of the delegates. Let's use a hypothetical to demonstrate who the Clinton campaign should ignore those. Suppose candidate X is leading the delegate count to the point that while candidate Y is close, Y will never realistically be able to catch up. But, 2 months later, candidate X makes a major mistake, gets caught cheating on his/her spouse or some other big scandal. Are you seriously telling me the delegates wouldn't change their mind?

My bad! Clearly, the delegates would stick to their original candidate and would vote to nominate a scandal-ridden candidate for President....NOT. These arguments are total bullshit.
