openentrance – What's Really Going OnWhat's Really Going On

 

Strange how the media works!! In the most hotly contested Democratic nomination in years, if not ever, Barack Obama’s win of the Wyoming primary over the weekend went fairly unnoticed. Hate to take the obvious route and call media bias, but I will. Typically, Wyoming would be fairly insignificant with only 12 delegates, but in an election where it is obvious that every delegate will matter, the the lack of media coverage for Obama is pretty ridiculous.

Since this blog makes me an official part of the media, I will cover it here. Ok, maybe not an official part of the media, but who’s keeping score. Either way, Obama’s continued domination of Clinton in pledged delegates only increases the shadiness that will be necessary among the super-delegates in order for Clinton to receive the Democratic Nomination.

I have heard people voice their opinions in different ways, but will you find it difficult to support Hilary Clinton in the General Election if she receives the Democratic Nomination by way of Super Delegates although, she will have lost the pledged delegates and the popular vote? I am still a little torn on that one, although I know that either Hilary or Barack will be better for the nation as a whole than John McCain. If Obama gets undercut at this point I can only see it as shady, then I am going to have a real difficult time with supporting Hilary. Not that I don’t think that Hilary is a great candidate, but that it keeps up is the same vicious cycle of dirty politics that will do anything to anyone just to get elected. Not to mention the shadiness will have happened to the first presidential candidate that has caused me to be very interested in my lifetime.

Since Barack will win the nomination, this is all hypothetical, but a good discussion at any rate.
