Hillary Clinton’s decision to not drop out or show any sign of giving up has sparked a lot of debate from the pundits. CNN’s “best political team on television” seemed to think that she should have been more conciliatory towards Barack Obama.
At first I agreed with them and was very angry that the former first lady continued the fight. However, if she endorsed him tonight some of her backers could be upset that she was “forced” out. She made a point to say that she wanted everyone that voted for her to be respected and heard. So when she comes along to the decision to support Obama her supporters should feel better about the process (Notice no if, she will).
This “no decision” should create another media day for Mrs. Clinton’s concession speech. It also keeps the focus of the media on Clinton and Obama, and not on McCain. (Who is that old guy they keep showing every once in a while?)
With all that talk about what Senator Clinton is going to do, the Dream Ticket talk is still buzzing. Here’s my 2 cents about that Dream Ticket:
It won’t happen. Clinton will support Obama regardless. He’ll find some compromise with her maybe a cabinet post or something added to the party platform. Clinton is a polarizing figure and Obama needs someone as VP that has military experience. McCain is going to make the election about foreign policy and having the sniper fire clips play over and over again will not help Obama. Obama Democrats hating Hillary can only continue to divide the party, so say nice things about her and make her supporters happy. Unification is more important than vilification.
