As we move closer to Super Tuesday, February 5th, it would also appear that we might be down to these two candidates for POTUS. Mitt Romney clearly has the money to continue to battle John McCain but does he want to spend his own money if he can't win the nomination. It is true that the Republicans are not happy with either candidate. However, when push comes to shove the Republicans will give the nod to McCain because he is their traditional candidate for 2008...a not so traditional year for the GOP. The Democrats, appear to be to old and angry to try to bridge the gap with unity and youth in Barack Obama...instead they are looking for tried and true another round of Clintonista Baby!
All of this saddens me as I watch this play out because for a moment...I thought we could elect someone who would reach across the aisle to heal the old partisan wounds of the last 16 years. All hope is not yet lost, but time I feel is running out. First, Obama needs to be able to create some Super Tuesday magic…make these 20 states close and pull off at least one or two unexpected victories. John Edwards needs to realize that Barack Obama will help fight the good fight...a deal of delegates will need to take place and a position in the Obama Administration conveyed. If these things do not come to pass it will be another 4-8 years of partisan bickering between the ideologues of both parties...same old, same old! Opportunity lost….
