President
I believe the mainstream media and big money corporate donors are a threat to our democracy. Particularly by skewing the media coverage and spin to create an air of inevitability for Hillary without having any substantial debate on the issues. I believe there are bigger problems in the world than (already-rated) violent video games and flag burning – Hillary’s signature issues. Issues like universal health care, investing in education and science and technology, and getting out of Iraq are much bigger problems.
Every single poll shows that every voter knows who Hillary is (<4% undecided) and her unfavorables get very close to 50% without even having gone through the general election. To any reasonable observer this is unelectable in a general election.
Further, I strongly believe that the idealistic concept of American Democracy is in jeopardy by having two families, the Bushes and Clintons in the White House for 28 years in a row, with the potential for another 32 or 36 years (or more depending on which Bush runs in the future). This is unhealthy. Bush-Clinton fatigue as described by some.
Chris Matthews (MSNBC) has asked one of his TV panels if Hillary is “Dukakis in a dress?”. I fear we will only discover that Hilary is the least electable candidate AFTER she has already been coronated. Hillary is the least electable Democrat in the general election and motivates right-wing voters more than the their own Republican candidates, thus insuring the downticket destruction of Democrats in local races. Hillary is doing a great job in the Senate please stay there.
How can we stop this disaster for the Democratic Party? The only way to stop the mainstream media coronation is to combine the two most talented, likeable and charismatic speakers in the Democratic pool to take on the least electable general election candidate, Hillary Clinton. Edwards/Obama is a true Unity ticket, with a white-southerner and a midwestern person of color and would be an unbeatable ticket. Both are smart, attractive and youthful candidates that would cream any GOP ticket, even one with Lieberman.
