Re: Welcome to November
Posted by: Sean in Greater Good, My Thoughts, Politics, moblogicMany of the primaries of now come and gone. After going through a crazy battle for the nomination, it looks like Obama is going to take it! Finally!! There were many ups and downs for both campaigns, but Obama was able to stay strong and pull it off.
I followed the election and the results closely through February, March and some of April, but I was getting tired of hearing the same thing from the reporters and news commentators. The fight for the nomination, just went on too long. Yeah, Clinton pulled off some upsets down the stretch, but really, she’s been down and out for a good couple months now.
It’s time to move on… or move forward with the election. The conventions are coming up soon, and the Dems need to have a clear vision and objective before that. McCain has been out schmoozing for months now, while Clinton and Obama duked it out.
The bigger question now: Does Obama take Clinton as his running mate? All signs (and our studio pool) say yes. However, while I think he will do this, I would much rather see him take Edwards or Governor Kathleen Sebelius (of Kansas) as his running mate. Edwards brings a dedicated following from the Green movement and would fit well into a VP roll. Sebelius, a democrat in a very red state, would help further unite the Midwestern region and may even help Obama pull in some serious votes from traditionally red Midwest states.
In the coming days, we’ll have our answer.
For now,
S
