I'm pretty sure that was a typo; you meant, elected not selected.
Not a typo.
The first thing people do when they lose an election is look somewhere other than themselves for the reason why they lost. At least you're that much in step.
First of all I didn't lose an election. And nobody is passing blame. As discussed previously Obama had just as many errors in his own campaign but his slip-ups were given a pass. Now it seems his errors aren't even to be spoken of because he is the last Democratic hope. The Democratic Party selected this unexperienced candidate and his errors in judgment and undesirable qualities will be examined by the American people.
To do this, he would have had to take advantage of a flawed system. The system seemed fine for the last 30 years until Clinton lost the election. Obama spent cash where Hillary couldn't because she was underfunded. Her lack of primary resources is the enemy here, not Obama.
Read the Primary vs. Caucus Report. This was not about money. Winning in caucuses when the candidate does not win the popular vote is about voter suppression and voter intimidation and the basic undemocratic requirements of voting in the caucus system.
Wrong. The system was flawed. The American people haven't been scrutinizing the system until faced with these issues. The DNC's arcane proportional allocation? flawed. The Caucus System? flawed. Super Delegates? flawed. How the DNC, Howard Dean and Party leaders conducted this Primary? flawed. The American people didn't understand how an election can be manipulated until 2000, they didn't understand how a candidate can be swiftboated until 2004, and until 2008 the American people did not see the major flaws in the Democratic Party nomination system. It is flawed against itself. And the Party leaders went undemocratic in the flawed process.
As Hillary pointed out, this is not the first time, nor the last time Supers will determine the nominee. However, they always go with the flow. <hint>
There should be major changes in the DNC rules and Super Delegates are one of the changes that need to be made. The Democratic Party should have had a charter that allowed for all scenarios in an election
including if two candidates are practically even in the Primary for delegates. It didn't. Super Delegates did not want to decide the outcome...Nor did they decide fairly, or democratically after Obama exploited the Caucus System.
And Obama is to blame because.... ? I'm no more sexist than you are racist.
Where do you get this stuff because nobody said Obama was to blame for it. You've posted some vile comments relating to women. If you don't want to be called sexist stop posting disgusting comments relating to women.
Sex and race had nothing to do with why I voted. As I always do in every election, I voted for the best and most electable candidate.
I also voted for the best and most electable candidate in this election. Obama was undemocratically selected. While sex and race may not have been the sole drive in the primary, polls show that women were solidly behind Hillary Clinton and African Americans behind Barack Obama. It made the primary race evenly matched. The edge Obama had came almost completely from exploitation of the Caucus System where more delegates were awarded to Obama even though he did not win more votes in the State.
Experience has gotten us where we are today. I don't think that Hillary's experience landing in Bosnia under rapid sniper fire is the experience we were contemplating.
George W. Bush stole the election. It was not based on experience. Al Gore won and the Supreme Court handed the White House to Bush. Hillary's experience in Bosnia is exactly the type of experience we need. She has a vast amount of experience that Obama wishes he had. Now the sniper fire exaggeration wasn't Hillary's finest hour but Obama making the bitter comments condescending Blue Collar workers and calling American Voters prejudiced and unable review his candidacy and issues such as religion, the second amendment, race and immigration reasonably without bitterness...so not his finest hour.
