Senator Barack Obama is emerging from the primary season a fatally flawed candidate for the Democrat presidential nomination. The disturbing vision that he and his associates, George Soros and MoveOn.org, share for Soviet America has been dragged into the light. Dick Morris (not popular with this forum, I know) has made an interesting observation. The party that cannot lose, in 2008, is about to nominate a flawed candidate that cannot win. I believe more than a few Democrat strategists share this view.
What to do about it? As Bob Beckle gleefully points out, superdelegates exist to nominate the candidate that is best for the party, not necessarily the one the voters choose, in a close race. (Strange rules for the "Democratic" Party.) So, by Democrat Party rules, superdelegates may choose to thwart BHO's nomination because his electability, in November, erodes with every new speech.
However, to do so would result in two things. MoveOn.org and friends, hard leftists, would scream stolen election, opening a political chasm which would hand the presidency to McCain. Second, BHO and the Justice Brothers would spank the DNC with the race card. Phony denials aside, we all see BHO playing the race card whenever an issue does not go his way. Superdelegates see this too.
I find it amusing that the party of modified PC, as it is now ok to "beat up" a girl, is now trapped by its own rhetoric. Nominate BHO and continue to be the good guys (feminist HRC supporters to the back of the bus) in white hats, who may lose the White House again. Or, nominate HRC and be branded war-loving racists, with a fair chance to control Capitol Hill and the White House.
Need proof of the superdelegate dilemma? Geraldine Ferraro said Obama would not be in his position if he were a white man. Immediately after, BHO, HRC and the DNC ran over her with the bus.
PC or victory? Tough choice for a Democrat.
