I do wonder why Obama did not tie the economic mess we are in today to the war in Iraq. I thought that was a strategic mistake of the highest order.
Now, as I've said before; the Democratic party is in trouble because they cannot choose a candidate.
We can argue for obama or Clinton all we want; but there is no clear front runner now. That works to noboby's advantage except McCain.
I think Obama should have (and still should) just explain a simple mathematical comparison: Take the fortunes of Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and whomever else you can think of and take away 12 million dollars a month from the total. How long will it last? Not that long. And that is what's happening to America today. We are asking of ourselvesthat we continue to pay that 12 million dollar fee every month; but we are not getting anything in return! How long do we want to keep doing this? | Joe there's only one right answer - a Clinton/Obama ticket
Otherwise whoever gets the nomination will be pissing off the other 50% of the Democratic party and that's not good.
The two aren't that far apart on issues. But there's no sense on battering themselves for the next 6 months.
Also it lines up Obama for 4 or 8 years of experience before running for President.
It could lead to a 16 year run for Democrats.
