Getting behind Obama

I've been a Clinton supporter for a long time, although not on this blog, in person. I've donated money to her campaign and I've watched the race unfold. I've shed a tear or two as I've seen her lose. There are many factors at play. Dean should be shot. But that's another post. Also, because we as Dems strive for fairness. Well, We're more likely to lose elections. The cut-throat Republican way, sort of ensured that the conservative guy would win. Is that better ... I don't know, but they have more time to rally their wagons and troops. More time to dig up dirt, simply more time to win.

The last primary was divided on race. Bigotry has sadly one many elections, recently and in the past. This will not change. What must change is the Clinton camps need to artfully swing support his direction. I don't know how this can be done. But it must be.

As Democrats we can not have a hobbled nominee. That only plays to the Republican strength of being able to forgive and forget for the party good. Something we can not seem to do. People are already talking about swinging their vote to Nader in disgust of altruism.

If we can not grow a political spine, we will surly lose an election that should be won by a landslide and also must be won for the good of the country.
