McCain Charges ahead, Democrats keep fighting

Can the democrats really fight against each other and against John McCain at the same time? Hillary Clinton won three much needed states to stay in this fight to President. Good for her, don't go down without a fight, BUT honestly is this fight helping democrats in the long run?


I guess there are two ways to look at this.

First of which being, that the democrat candidates are so superior to the republican candidates that they will have a dual to the very end to pick the very best nominee to represent the democratic party. When in the same race, the republicans didn't really have any worthy competition to go up against Senator McCain, so some of them joined just for the sake of saying "I ran for the Presidential nomination once?"

Or we can look at it as, well democrats don't know when to cut their losses? My aunt said it extremely well, "why would you run a billion dollar campaign for a job that pays $250,000 a year?"

I had never looked at it in that light before? How much money, does the United States waste on elections, election spending, man hours, and insurance during a campaign that could go to a worth cause such as homelessness, health care, the ever increasing debt, or education? That is just to name a few. I thoroughly enjoy the articles I read about how the candidate donated 5 million of their money to their campaign. Wake up people, you put out 5 million to make 1 million over four years...what are you thinking? (Yes, I do realize that their great benefits to being President of the United States, and that every single person that has become President didn't do it for the pay check.)


Best wishes to John McCain as he gets to fully devote all of his time and energy on the actual election. As for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, may the best candidate win. Lord knows after the fight you two are putting up for the nominee, you might as well be handed the President's job at the same time.


If anyone out there can really give me an argument as to why it is beneficial to spend so much money on campaign, I am all ears. Sorry to get political on you all, but I figure, sometimes I should write about what is going in the world, instead of in my head. Have a great day, and if you live in a state where the primary's are coming up and you can vote, please do so. Every vote counts, it is one of the many nice things about living in this country.
