Republicans want Clinton

The current talk in the democratic race for presidential elections is what many term "the dream ticket", with Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton running together with either one of them on top. Now, I am a supporter of Barak Obama's message of change but I am not sure if the American public can stomach that much change all at once. Okay, assuming that they can (and please do not construe this to mean that the electorate is shallow, it's just that change comes slowly in America), the escalating attacks between the two candidates continue to draw a divide between them and an eventual combination of the two would seem, at least to me, more like a political compromise with an eye on the prize, than true dedicated and honest leadership.

That said, cross over to the Republican table and witness the feast of celebration. The squables over on the Democratic side are a gift that keeps on giving to their rivals. As things stand now, McCain can sit back and recuperate from his not so valiant victory and watch as his would be opponents deck it out. If anyone has cared to notice, he is not even saying much about either candidate at the moment. Obama and Clinton are destroying each other all by themselves. Feast on McCain. It might be a tough battle ahead.

But what if a curious person, say like me, were to ask MacCain who he would prefer to run against him? The answer is obvious. Clinton. Why, you ask? I'll tell you why. Because she is running on a ticket of experience. Unless she changes strategy very fast should she win the nomination (which she cannot do since it would compromise everything she stands for), Clinton would be bringing a RC toy to a monster truck convention. Her experience would be trumped underfoot by McCain's and he would do that gladly. Obama on the other hand is rallying for change. He might not be the most experienced person on the forefront, but people are tired of the "experienced" people and what they have - or should I say have not - done. Hope can make Obama triumph. Experience will kill it for all of us.

This is an appeal to Miss Clinton. Call it quits early and let us forge a campaign that can bring Americans long needed change.
