And the news is.......

we’re told that the Democratic party is seeing an unprecedented number of young registrants and they’re going to make all the difference in the upcoming Presidential election......That may be so but, the problem as I see it is that the ‘young’ registrants don’t really understand the process......I’m not at all surprised at that....what is somewhat surprising is the fact that so many ‘older’ people who should know better are arguing that Hillary should step down for the good of the party.....and that doesn’t make any sense at all.
The primaries were never intended to choose a candidate.....historically, primaries generally supported someone from a particular State...A ‘favorite son’ or in todays PC speak, maybe ‘favorite person’ is more apropo. In either case, it’s only been in recent years that the process has been co-opted. Historically, candidates have been chosen at their respective conventions. I understand that young voters don’t remember and consequently believe in the one person, one vote idea of democracy should be the rule. But we don’t live in a democracy because democracies don’t really work. For an example, you only need witness the Democratic Primaries that we are presently enduring. Who’da tho’t a simple majority would be so hard to attain? Well, our founding fathers not only thought so, but knew so. And that, boys and girls, (surprise..surprise) is why we live in a republic.
So, for all those people who say that Hillary should quit, I c’n only ask....WHY?.....she hasn’t lost....she just hasn’t won.....and neither has Obama. It’s called, “The Democratic Process’ and it’s doing what it was designed to do........decide on a candidate.
So, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over, the good book do declare,
“Now, Lord, Lordy, Lord, if you can’t help me,
Fo’ goodness sake, don’cha help that bear.”
At any rate, it looks like the Democratic Primary is goin’ down to the wire, neck and neck, Hillary and Obama goin’ toe to toe all the way to the bitter end...maybe the bitter end to the Democratic party as we know it....I can’t figure out if it’s Creationism or Evolution in action.
