Last night was the night

Last night (5/7/08) was the night that spelled out the end Hilary Clinton’s contest for American presidency. Ignoring the obvious statistics in North Carolina and Indiana, she told her supporters it would be full speed to the White House instead. How can people trust her judgment if she cannot see her inevitable defeat? Or if she selfishly continues to fight regardless—doing exactly what Republicans want her to.

I have great respect for both candidates. It is interesting to observe how people take side like sport fans rooting for their team. There are really no major difference in political issues between Clinton and Obama (only if you count the gas tank holiday), but one third of Clinton’s supporters said they will not vote for Obama if Clinton lost.

All elderly women go for Clinton, and blacks for Obama. Nobody can be absolutely free of prejudice. Me, I cannot imagine giving Bill a chance to go back to White House, having nothing to do and hang out with interns all days.

Canadian media report regularly on the Clinton-Obama race. I suppose if Clinton has million to spend (she is borrowing, I gather), then it does no harm to stimulate the sluggish US economy. I am sure the Clinton supporters will come to Obama's aid should the Republicans gain advantage in the upcoming presidential election (obviously, I am making assumptions here).

As to the prospect of a President's husband frolicking with interns, well I guess somebody better clearly define what "sex" is before it is too late. Surely, the Clintons must have an old copy of "The Joy of Sex" lying somewhere around the house?

Ha ha ha. In a democratic society people can make fun of their presidents without worry about getting death threat or reprisal.

Keith,

how i wish the media/the people here, where I am living now - can do so as well, as what they claim "democratic society", but journalists with hands tight, people's voice not heard, freedom of speech - under control..., people's right with quota system to manipulate...etc

I know what you mean. We are lucky to have that freedom (within the limits of the local laws of course).
