Party Divided

Well... well... well just look at what has happened to the strong face of the Democrats. This election season’s once favored Democratic Party seems to be trying to mirror the party that it despises so much. Dirty politics, backstabbing political grandstanding and now they (some people more than others) are just tearing apart at each other with shady advertisements.

Now even worse, they turned the Tech community to help them with their slandering. What started out as good ideal for both of the candidates as a tool to reach young voters and help educate people has now become a tool in which these candidates have used to target a younger and more tech savvy generation of voters who s who can register to vote on our iPhones while drinking a latte’ at Starbucks and watching the news.

A generation that would frankly rather watch their favorite show online than on TV now have been bombarded with media clips from Jeremiah Wright (You Tube - Obama and his Religion) as if he is the poster boy for Senator Obama’s campaign. And now other media clips, videos, pictures and emails related to Senator Obama have surfaced and it seems that not so many negative ads have surfaced about Senator Clinton. There are a few funny cartoon-type pictures and a hand full of videos, but I mean those are the few small blips on the radar about Mrs. Clinton. Overall, if I were a betting man I would say that maybe there is something to these small blips, but that’s just speculation and speculation doesn’t pay the bills in this market. That’s why it seems almost inevitable that there can be only two outcomes to this: One is the Dems become so divided and disgusted that the “right” choice was not selected for the nomination and they will not vote in the numbers that has really been the story of this election season and loses no matter what candidate is selected giving way to Senator McCain. Look, the fact that other Dems are supporting Senator Obama should not be a reason for mudslinging and back room politics.

People are voting for Senator Obama for the same reasons so many others are supporting him and it is not because he’s black, smart, or cool under pressure. It’s not because he commands a room when he walks in or that he young and fresh with ideals and that his smile is infectious. It’s because of all of these qualities are embodied in one candidate and that is what scares the Republicans the most. But that will probably be the least of their worries this coming election because they already have their candidate and I am sure they are now just trying to figure out how to plan their resources while the Dems continue to bicker when this race is over and needs to just be given to the person with the best chance to take the house!

The other outcome could potentially be that the Republicans have so much dirt now on both candidates and this is when when the real election process begins because neither Barack nor Hillary will be able to withstand the pressure and fold. Look, no matter who endorses Senator Obama or Senator Clinton, whether its a politician or someone famous, that fact remains that Barack brings a freshness to the whole process and with the country getting younger and voters want to see change. Whether its Clinton or Obama, soon it won’t matter that the Dems have given enough ammo for any Republican to beat them. Hopefully all this political fighting won’t ruin the party but if we (America) just so happen to end up with the worlds second oldest man as the president, but we have been duped before!
