Actually I disagree this is a good thing as what is occuring as a result is almost calculable.
OHHHHHHH POOOOOOOOOOR OBAMA! from all over the electoral spectrum as the Clinton dogs pile on him. People of all Political persuasion are wringing their hands for poor Obama. Those mean, nasty Clintons...Those people with all that experience piling on that poor young man. IT JUST ISN’T FAIR!!!!!!.
Where is the focus? On the Democrats. Who gives minutes to the Democrats and only seconds IF ANY to the Republican? The MSM, as well their focus is on their Republican choice for the benefit of their Democrats to consume on the trail to the General Election.
I wrote in a post back more than a year ago that I thought Obama would be the running mate for the Hillary/Bill Co-Presidential run, and more and more it is looking as though I was correct. This dog fight is to gain focus for the party, then they will all be kissy-face later, and then run holding hands right through the front door of 1600 PA. Ave.
If the Hilldy-Obammy fight does get out of hand and really turns bitter, it could have some effect on the election. Assuming Hilldy gets the nom —and I do assume that— and there is a residue of bitterness, it could tone down the turn out for Black voters. She would still get 90+ per cent, but maybe the gross numbers could be lower. Could impact the result in a really close state, like maybe Fl, Mo, or MI.
I certainly do not discount the prospect that they will make-nice before the convention. He certainly could be the running mate, but there is strong precedent against having two senators on the ticket.
Finally, look for the dirtiest campaign in history come this fall. The media is set to drop any pretense of fairness. The Republican will be attacked every day in newspapers, TV and radio—not just by Hilldy and her minions, but by the media also. Direct attacks without apology. Many of us have lauded the “declining” influence of the MSM, but the MSM has proven over the last six or seven years that they are still powerful if they concentrate attacks relentlessly, continuously, and uniformly. Over time, the MSM can build up a slanted, biased version of facts which become the accepted truth by seeping into the psyche of the ill informed masses. It will happen BIG TIME in this election.
