Hillary and the lunatic fringe

Posted on 08 May 2008

It wasn’t too long ago that the nation was riveted to the television watching people evaluate hanging chads and divining voters intent who may have only dented a ballot. This more than anything probably made it impossible for George W Bush to govern in a bipartisan way (as he did in Texas for years). Why? The conspiracy theorist which were fed and watered in Florida never seemed to get over the fact that despite their best efforts at overturning an election, they lost. They lost in the count, they lost in the official recount and they lost when their beloved New York Times recounted again many months later. The only place they had a chance to win was with the Florida Supreme Court which the Supreme Court in Washington snuffed out.

But many of the lunatic fringe continue their mantra of ‘selected not elected’. And the Democratic party continues to this day to fan those flames. And along comes this year’s primary season. Two large states, Michigan and Florida(again) are in the middle of the discussion regarding the nominating process. The national media would like to change the subject and proceed to the coronation of Barack Obama. But Hillary Clinton (who I absolutely do not support) will not let it go that easily.

Why? Because she knows that with those two states which she won, this race is close to even. And regardless of how that came to be, she knows that there are plenty in the lunatic fringe that can be whipped up in her party to challenge the ‘official outcome’. The only problem is that once that genie is out of the bottle it is very hard to put back. I will be the contrarian but Hillary can still win. And the media, the pundits and Obama’s team can do very little but watch and continue to fight this out.

Ask yourself why hasn’t Obama sealed the deal despite two months of the media declaring him with winner. Hillary can still win. But at what cost? And then what.
