Seriously, the protracted Dem Summer is great for the GE! Reasons: |
|
1) Our winner will have built networks in every state, with volunteers ready to go, at every level. Repigs will never catch on.
2) Democratic candidates will remain in the news throughout the Summer. People love to watch protracted contests, like The America Idol. This way democrats will stay in the news forever. The dem convention might be a riotous event. Compared to that, the repig event will be so boring there will be little excitement going for McSame.
3) Our candidate will be so conditioned to quick reactions, Mr. geriatric candidate will never get to play.
All in all, HRC's stubbornness to concede is good for all of us. Let's enjoy!

1. If they can keep it civil, I agree |
|
Otherwise they are just weakening each other for the general.

3. Shes actually not hurting him as much as it may feel....... |
|
Its like playing poker shes only winning a few hands by going all in, but eventually that always loses, when the other players have the better cards and even if you stack a deck you cant beat a good player because they know when to fold em and eventually the deck is reset.

2. I believe keeping her in is safer....... |

Ms Clinton and her circle have openly shown their distaste for the DNC going so far as to prepare to replace it on a national level if it failed to do what she needed or followed her directive. Each element of operations was mirrored in Clinton loyalist organizers for just such a situation. By not cutting the campaign off at the knees it keeps her within open sight of what she is doing.
Id the DNC made any overt effort to cease her campaign for the good of the Democratic Party they would simply shift in their replacement mechanisms and continue perhaps even as third party. By keeping her at bay in plain sight chained up it limits the timing she could do any more damage to the party, in what would amount to an overthrow of the DNC or at the least a fracturing of epic scale.
The longer she is where she is, losing as a DNC candidate the stronger the party can withstand her tearing it apart.
She isn't harming Mr Obama, she is just bleeding into oblivion. It is an entropy cycle 101, you can not spontaneously create energy and she is definatly using much more than she is bringing to her, while Mr Obama is simply capturing more as it comes into the clear.
