At last . . .

Hillary has finally thrown in the towel - long after it was obvious that she had lost the contest to become the Democratic Party's Presidential candidate. Was it that she could not see she had lost? Or was it that she wanted to keep in the limelight so that Mr Obama would have no choice but to choose her as his running mate and thus potential Vice-President. She would definitely not be a sleeping partner as many Vice-Presidents have been in the past. She would be outspoken and use more than the power she really had to steer the US government along her way of thinking.
It could be a winning ticket. A black president with a woman vice-president. But seeing the power-hungry attitude of Mrs Clinton it may be best if Barak keeps well away from her.
I wonder if Mrs Clinton would have chosen Mr Obama as her running mate if the tables had been reversed?
I think not. She would have seen him as too much of a threat from within.
Steer clear of the lady Mr Obama. If you get to be President I hope you govern with a sense of justice for all - both inside and outside of your own country. At least, unlike the present incumbent, you realise that there is a world outside the USA and have even lived in other parts of the world.
I have seen statements from "ordinary" voters in various states that they were Democrats but would prefer to vote Republican rather than have a black president.
I hope those bigots are in a small minority.
I suppose a similar scenario would have occurred about a potential female president.
Never mind the policies, we have to have the right gender and colour.
Nuff said.
