Hillary's Dreams Crushed

So...it's been quite awhile since I've updated. It seems to me that this is becoming a common occurence on this blog, and for that I apologize to all of my faithful followers. Politics...right? I can't mention everything since my last post because if I did I would be writing for hours and hours. I will cover some of the main attractions, to put it simply. Hillary is all but done in the presidential race. It's a numbers game and Hill doesn't have the numbers to compete against Obama anymore and really hasn't for the last 2 months. There was a public outcry against Obama following the Reverend Wright fallout. It seems to be, although I am only a novice at political strategy, that Rev. Wright was probably working closely with Hillary Clinton. I know that he has said that he will not support Obama if he is the Democratic nominee and that he was in fact supporting Hillary. Obviously, the scandal worked in her favor for a couple of weeks, but since that time people have started to realize that this crazy, radical man by the name of Jeremiah Wright is probably a back-stabber, partially the reason as to why Obama has maintained a lead over Hill. I should also mention the RFK assassination remarks. I truly don't believe that using this to imply that Obama has a possibility of being assassinated was one of Hillary's motives. In hindsight though, it was probably not the smartest thing to say as her campaign is slowly disintegrating. I think Hillary does have some selfish intentions though. I am beginning to think that she doesn't even care if it is a democrat in the White House or not. If it's not her, she's going to fight Obama to the convention and beyond just because she wants a chance at the nomination in 2012, even if she has to sacrifice one of her own. McCain worries me. I have never been supportive of him. His campaign has stayed behind the scenes of the Democratic primary battle, keeping him out of the spotlight. It's probably helped out his campaign a bit as well. As gas prices rise and the dollar continues to decline, I have to wonder how much a Republican would help the American people. I'm probably just going to write in Ron Paul, just because I can. He actually understands economics and that's why I like him, among other things.
