The Best Laid Plans of Poloticians & Men!!

Well it seems that the political game is a foot! McCain is sending out attack adds he promised he wouldn't do, Obama is sending out attack adds I wish he wouldn't do, and Hillary is trying g to rally support behind Obama. Her own supporters are so divisive, that according to the NBC Evening News today, 21% of her major supporters are saying they will jump the fence to support John McCain even though she is asking them to Support Barack Obama!! Her own supporters are going against what she's asking them to do, because the are so mad that she didn't get the nomination?? There's true loyalty for you I guess. Another 27% so they are either undecided, or want to vote for someone other than the two major party candidates. I had high hopes that the election in November would be a win for Sen. Obama, but now I'm not so sure?? He has to see what he must do, his advisers have to see it also!! Even if she says no, he has to extend an olive branch to Sen. Clinton, and offer her the Vice-Presidency!! I don't really want to see it happen, but I'm going back to my previous idea, he can't win with out her. The party wont let him, and it truly is a shame that the party that I grew up on has become the mess that it is today!! At times I feel ashamed to call myself a Democrat. I still do, and I haven't given up the hope that a Franklin Roosevelt, a Harry S. Truman, or a John F. Kennedy will raise the party from the ashes that is wallows in today!! I had hopped that Sen. Obama would be this person, and I still do believe that he can be that savior that the party needs. I'm just not sure that the party will give him the chance top help save it?? You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it. I guess you can tell a dying party to not pull the trigger of the gun to it's head, but only the party can decide wither to pull they trigger, or not??
