Ode To Hillary - From Jim Morrison

Face it, it just works on so many levels! The jungles of florida. A line of Napalm thrown down to little effect. The newscopters circling overhead. A losing battle against an entrenched enemy who is being openly supported by the press. A situation where you win every battle but lose the war.

Sounds familiar doesnt it?

If you replace the word "Saigon" in the closing speech from Martin Sheen with "New York", it hits all the right notes.

At last, at long last, the Democratic party brings an end to the karma starved campaign of Hillary Clinton and "House Clinton" is forver more reduced to mere asterisk status. In the end, they were undone not by the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy", but by the comrades on the left who in their need for purity, found her to be not quite pure enough.

Replacing the politically unstoppable juggernaut of "House Clinton" we now see that "House Obama" will take the stage as champion for the Democrats. "House Obama", who is weaker, with less foundation support, with no experience whatsoever in the party is as blissfully unaware of the battlefield ahead as a young waif-like member of the Childrens Crusade was of how to prosecute warfare in palestine against the Moors.

Obamas campaign is based on the idea that he's going to bring everyone together, that the existence of his campaign alone is enough to heal the wound in the American collective psyche.

To demonstrate to us all his certified abilities as a peacemaker, he and his campaign has torn his party in two. Where once was a party in unity has now been replaced by chaos, disorder, anger and contempt.

Barack Obama. A Master Strategist who single handedly accomplishing what Karl Rove only dreamed of doing, defeated the Clintons and the Democratic Party in one fell swoop.

Genius! If he cant get his own party behind him, how can he get the country behind him( or dare I say, the world)? Is that his goal? or does he simply believe that there are more of "them" than there are of "us" and as such we are not a factor because the press tells us every day in every way how much they all love Barack Obama so it must be true, right?

I think that what towers above all the other factors that caused Hillary to lose was the effect of the "karma factor". Hillary spent the eight years of her husbands Presidency kicking the shins of those in her party who would not follow her whim and direction. Tom Wolfe described this sort of thing as the "favor bank" of life. Your actions with others result in either a deposit or a withdrawl from the "favor bank". Hillary started this campaign NSF at the "favor bank" and as a result "Payback" was sure to come one day for that sort of thing. When she announced her campaign, debts from the favor bank would be called in and Hillary would be found wanting. This is why you saw so many people in the high echelon of the Democrat party literally walk away from Hillary. Worse than simply remain silent, they were vocal in their preference of Barack Obama over Hillary. That doesnt just happen, you have to make that happen and Hillary made that happen every day of her husbands administration between 1992 and the year 2000. Everytime she threatened a congressman in 1992 over Hillary-care, it probably cost her 10,000 votes in 2008.

What is it that they say about "Payback"? Its true enough and it need not be said out loud because you are all thinking it anyway so we can just skip that part. Another way to think of it is to simply be careful how you treat people on the way up, because you get to meet them again on the way down.

This is going to be a great election and it will be one made up of great contrasts. McCain is on one side, Obama on the other. The socialist left experiment and its coastal cultural base on one side of the argument, McCain and the "Great American Middle" shop at wal-mart and drive pickup trucks on the other.

I stand by my previous prediction of a 49 state sweep by McCain.

(This is the end...Of our elaborate plans, the end...)
