With Barack Obama’s win in Oregon…the balance of the scales has tipped in his favor as the person with the majority of delegates needed to get the nod from the Democratic party as the presidential nominee.
Since that time…the buzz is building for Hillary Clinton to be his running mate. Right before this…you started to hear Barack sing Hillary’s praises. Was it a way to “test” the idea before the voters? This brings to mind the playground antics of scapping students who find a way to co-exist in the same sandbox. However, each of the two potential nominees have strengths that combine to make a Democratic ticket more enticing to some voters…distateful to others.
The PR machine has revved up it’s engines as Barack is in the process of picking a running mate. Will it be Hillary? Or will some other potential running mate make an appearance? It is too soon to tell. There is alot of background wrangling going on that we are are not all privy too.
It won’t be long before the Democratic dream team is announced. Then you will see some movement in the actual presidential race. The intensity will pick up between the Republicans and the Democrats on the ISSUES before them, in the scramble to the top.
This election is critical for our nation. Getting to the most powerful position in our government is filled with booby traps. Choosing carefully who should have the priviledge of competing for the opportunity is serious business. However, I am afraid that the brou- ha has only just begun. Let the political maneuvering begin.
