I hate mudslinging in general, but Democrats, we especially need to stop the mudslinging now. Why? Because John McCain is sitting in his campaign office listening to what we have to say to each other, and he’s taking some good notes. Instead of attacking people in the same party, how about we work on displaying our strengths, instead? The campaign should instead focus on why the given candidate is the better candidate against John McCain, not whether one person is credible for one thing or not. You know about that plagiarism farce that Clinton accused Obama of? That’s going to come back to hurt us if Obama wins the primary. We can’t play the “it’ll be me or no one over here” strategy; we have to play the “we’re going to win no matter who takes the torch” strategy.
This is a very competitive primary and the Democrats are pretty divided between two candidates. We’re going to need to come together to win, though, and that means that Obama supporters need to go to Hillary if she wins, and that Hillary supporters need to go to Obama if he wins. The last thing that I think we would need is another Republican in office that is basically President Bush but older and probably more into overseas conflicts. Think about it: Four more years? Or change? McCain is not change…he is more of the same, he is what we are currently facing, if not worse. I feel that we need Obama for his charisma and his ability to bridge gaps. I know some people call all of this fluff and “just words”, but they really aren’t. Words are what we need to drive us to move. Think about it: the pen is mightier than the sword. The pen can drive us to do so many things. If the pen lies, we move to fix its inaccuracy. If the pen gives us hope, we move to work for that hope. If the pen unfairly works against us, we move to strike down the unfairness. Obama wields the pen. Let’s move to vote for him, and move to change our country for the better.
