Many in the media such as commentators from MSNBC and Cnn have constantly called for Hillary Clinton to get out of this primary. Always referring to the delegate math and she can’t catch up ever. Some personal snipes at Hillary Clinton by commentators such as Toobin and Gergen on CNN who made suggestions that kentucky voters are all racists, because of a poll where about 20% of kentucky voters said race did influence their vote and who will not vote for a black man, and that Hillary should tell those voters that she refuses to accept their votes because it’s solely based on race. They characterized that voters who vote for hillary as racist, uneducated, low income whites and that voters of barack obama are highly educated and affluent whites.

The media has been very unfair to the Clinton’s because they have been accused of being racists and dividing the party when many ignore that barack obama is getting about 91% of the black vote in states with a high african American state. Hillary’s voters are racist and his voter’s aren’t , I guess because the media during these exit polls did not ask any barack obama voters if race had anything to do with their vote.

The Democratic Party are ignoring the Quinniac university poll where it shows Hillary beating McCain in Ohio and Florida by 47% to 41% and in Pennsylvania both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton would beat McCain but Hillary has higher number of 51% to 44% and obama’s 47% to 45% .

The Democratic Party and Howard Dean is to blame for this mess, the DNC’s way of dividing delegates by Congressional districts won in that state’s primary, and having a higher number of delegates needed than the Republican party and finally excluding two of the most important states in general elections such as Florida and Michigan.

The Republican Congress decided to push up the primary date for the Democratic Party and registered Democrats have to be penalized for something beyond our control. The republicans have a simpler way of getting the nomination and the Democrats have a more complicated way of calculating the votes of primaries.

This is a wake call for the DNC to change their system and to prepare a model which would declare a nominee even when the votes are so close.

The super delegates if they are so sure of their nominee then why not come out and make their choice before this goes any further. Personally, I think the wrong candidate will be chosen as the nominee and we are heading to a bigger loss than Kerry. The lack of leadership of Howard Dean and these super delegates tell the indecisiveness and the pressure that these super delegates are receiving from the DNC to support Obama.
