The Kill Floor

I am suffering from a horrendous case of political fatigue. I have watched every Democratic and Republican primary. I have listened to more hours of political pundits talk about politics than my husband. I have read almost all the candidates websites and then my new addiction was reading every blog about the primaries. Instead of giving into my addiction, this is my opinion of what I was able to filter from my dirty habit.

Since the Republican nomination is in the long arms of Senator McCain now that is one less race to care about. Not that I really did care because they talk too much about religion. I think a lot of people that think religion and politics go hand in hand; need a refresher course in the American Constitution 101.

But, seriously, WTF is going on with Hillary Clinton’s campaign? I think it’s great that she won Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas this past Tuesday night but she still doesn’t have the delegates to make-up the huge success that the Obama campaign has been enjoying since his 11 straight wins. Call me crazy, but I thought you had to have 2025 delegates and/or super delegates to win the Democratic nomination? Score now: Obama 1520 and Hilly 1424 - very close but he is still around 600,000 ahead of her in the popular vote also. From all projections, Obama could lose the rest of the primaries taking place until June and still beat Hilly once the Super delegates he wins from those upcoming states jump to his side.

Is Hilly that desperate since she won 3 states, to now say she “won” Florida and Michigan to catch up to Obama’s delegate lead? I believe the answer is yes. If, Bill Clinton has anything to do with it - he loves dirty politics and he is a smooth talker. After watching Hillary on every morning show yesterday “proclaiming victory” she reminded me of Reese Witherspoon’s character Tracy Flick from the movie Election. I wish Hillary didn’t come across that she deserves the Democratic Nomination because of all her years in Washington but that she earned it. I would have more respect for her as a woman. Oh and by the way-

Dear Hillary,
LEAVE BILL! It would be the smartest move you ever made in your life personally and politically.
