Hillary Clinton is behind in every way imaginable in the Democrat Presidential Primary.....
All but one of course. She's the more electable candidate. There may be some that say this decision will come down to race, and that may be, but right now I believe it is an issue of Barak Obama's ultra liberal politics. Believe it or not, Obama is far more liberal then Hillary Clinton. No one on the far left or right usually gets elected in the United States. While sticking to convictions is crucial in this run for the White House, the most electable candidate will sometimes lean left of center and sometimes lean right of center.
I don't think that Hillary
should go anywhere right now. The very fact that the super delegates will ultimately decide this race is the card that Hillary has in her corner. After all, the super delegates were put in place with the power they have for this very reason of electability. When Reagan blew out Walter Mondale in the 1984 Presidential election, the Democrat party had to act. The super delegates were the answer. The super delegates are not beholden to the whims of their constituants. Their responsibility reaches as far as deciding which candidate will most likely win the ultimate prize in November.
On the notion that this is tearing up the Democrat Party, that is probably correct. But, that my friends is a problem for another day and for the Democrat Party itself.
