Subject: Why Hillary should stay in the race.

This is Bill O’Reilly’s “Talking Points” Memo that he reads at the beginning of each show – this is from this past Wednesday, and was actually read by Laura Ingraham.

"The Democratic Party should be worried because with each successive primary we can see the growing divide in their electorate. Obama wins liberal Oregon by 18 points but gets creamed by Hillary in conservative Kentucky. Obama lost big in states like Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania because to the working class he came off as aloof and out of touch. More middle American voters see him as just another bicoastal liberal like those who lost five of the last seven elections. But even if Hillary is the stronger candidate to go up against McCain, the MoveOn.Org types with the most influence in the Democratic Party don't care. They'd rather take their chances on the more left wing of the two candidates. Democrats really seem to be incapable of learning from history. In 1972 the Democrats nominated George McGovern, the most liberal candidate, only to have him go on to lose in the second biggest landslide ever. Party officials installed superdelegates to avoid similar disasters in the future. So if superdelegates were actually living up to their stated duties, this race might already be over and Hillary would be the nominee. That would be change we could believe in."

Thank Goodness Hillary Clinton has exposed Obama’s fatal flaw, giving him months to shake that “aloof” image – actually, she didn’t do anything, he exposed himself. This contest is for the heart-and-soul of the Democratic Party – the far-left of Obama and the center-left of Clinton. And the country is center-left.

‘The math’ shows that Obama cannot secure the nomination with pledged delegates. The popular vote is still very much in doubt. Who is prepared for the Democratic Party to make Clinton “the Al Gore of ’08” and steal this election? The answers go on and on – including those far-left commentators who want to oppress the vote by declaring that the results of Oregan were a “wake-up call” to all Democrats that this race is over. * sigh *
