Deepening the Democratic Divide!
Three and a half weeks remain until the Pennsylvania primary is held. In the meantime, the sniping back and forth between the Democrats is intensifying.
Hillary Clinton has been exposed for embellishing facts about her experiences during her time as First Lady. Seems she got wrapped up in some story telling about how exciting and/or dangerous some of her activities were, then got more and more carried away with the fabrications. Imagine, a politician telling an untruth! Or, as she puts it, “Misspeaking”.
But allegations of lying are not the biggest problem for the former First Lady/Democratic Presidential contender. Nope! Lots of the biggies among the Democrats are trying to pressure her into quitting the race. After many public proclamations of maintaining neutrality, Nancy Pelosi has now become outspoken about the continuing attacks between Clinton and Barack Obama’s campaigns. She claims Hillary Clinton continuing her campaign is creating division in the Democratic party. You can’t fool Nancy Pelosi, can ya?
Of course, Obama’s campaign has had it’s ups and downs. He got the endorsement of Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico, which stunned the Clinton campaign! Richardson, the only Hispanic Governor, was a part of the Clinton White House and claims to be a good Clinton friend. Yet he endorsed Obama, leading to speculation that he’s finagling for the VP slot. Look out, Obama! You already have friends who are treacherous to your campaign and it seems Bill Richardson understands political expediency better than loyalty or friendship. Gee, Hillary, you need better friends too!
And, of course, Reverend Jeremiah Wright continues to have his lunatic ravings exposed. This time it’s the “Eye-talians” he’s blasting. This man doesn’t seem to like too many people. Well, Wright should fit right into the Democratic Party at this point because the two sides don’t seem to like each other very much either. Polls are showing percentages of the members of each camp who swear they’ll vote for John McCain if their candidate doesn’t win the nomination.
There are still TEN primaries to be held, with millions of votes to be counted. Unless some reconciliation occurs among the Democrats, the final primaries on June 3rd, in Montana and South Dakota will not yield a definitive nominee. Then we get to witness a brokered Democratic National Convention in Denver in August, with the Super Delegates being forced to anger one side or the other.
