Archive - February 2008 Obama and Clinton: the Hopeful and the PracticalPosted Feb-25-08 13:27:40 PST Updated Feb-25-08 13:28:45 PST ![]() Senator Barrack Obama speaks in inspirational tones that invoke hope from current national despair, and speaks clearly to the empathetic minded voter. To those voters that’s very practical. Senator Hillary Clinton has a different type of inspirational speak, she speaks of practical matters and practical solutions, and to the practically minded that’s very inspirational. National shame has been brought about by the worse president ever in office. Americans are primed for hope and “faith in America.” To the man on a desert island an immature coconut looks great and inspiring. In a time of public despair, of economy, of invasion and occupation, Obama’s words are of the reparative type. He is our father yelling at us to not be scared, to go through with whatever it is that causes us hesitation. Obama’s words speak to those of us who are empathetic, those of us who feel the shame and for whom that shame matters the most. Senator Obama is the only one, of the two remaining contenders in the race for the Democratic race for delegates to the convention, speaking as he does, with church like reverence dominating his oratory. Unfortunately for Senator Obama inspirational talk won’t cut-it at the polling place. “She really seems to know what she’s talking about,” will be the echoing words between the ears of U.S. voters come November. It also appears that with nearly %25 more of Senator Obama’s nationally cumulated permanent delegates; Senator Clinton’s message of rational practicality is getting through across the United States. Besides Hillary’s masterful grasp of the issues and a suitcase full of sound bites to back it up, shes got the women. Every woman ever dissed by men repeatedly. If just half of all women registered to vote, vote for her, she wins. If just over half of all women registered to vote Democratic chose her, behind the curtain, she’s a cinch for the nomination and for president of the United States. Give also that there are %5 more women than men in the United States; the numbers are already advantage Hillary. On another thought; I think the country is still moderate. Ready to vote for that safe bet, middle of the road candidate, as the nation always has in the past – its true! Once in office, the candidate may or may not turn out to be moderate, but so long as the appearance is during the campaigns, voters are more comfortable. Bill Clinton knows this little secret and he’s taught it to Hillary. No. He has hammered this little factoid in, for the sake of his wife’s success. |
