Democrats must be foolish to loose Hillary

I will first make this clear that I am a Republican who favors free market policies, and many other right economic policies (pun intended) of Republicans. However, for this election, I have been hoping from the start for a Democratic win. More so, I have been hoping for Hillary Clinton's win. The reason for this contrary hope is something I will explain later. I know its now too late and I will be too optimistic to hope for Hillary Clinton's win in Democratic primary, leave alone the general elections. But I will still write this blog.

First, I want to talk about the people's attitude towards Hillary Clinton from the start of the election season. From the start of the primary elections, most of the people, including Hillary Clinton herself, had accepted that Hillary will be the next US president. Hillary Clinton is the perfect candidate. She is a woman who has been to White House and knows everything about governing a nation. Her personal qualities are immaculate. She has shown enough courage and enthusiasm to be a public leader. She has always been a no-nonsense woman who is always careful to never make mistakes. Even in the extremely hard time of Bill Clinton's scandal, a scenario which is the worst nightmare of every married woman, she showed the whole world that she can think from her mind and her heart, and not let her emotions take over her.

Politically also, she is the perfect candidate. Now I will come to the reasons I support her. Hillary is a Democrat who is never too left. She has shown good policies in my opinion which put her right in the middle. Through the years of Bush policies, US has come across as a big bully to the rest of the world. And nobody likes a bully. This image can do significant damage to a nation as no nation can live alone how powerful it is. You can not live like Sawyer in Lost the whole time you are on an island. Hence the perfect person to undo this damage would be a woman President, someone who can give a more acceptable image than a bully to the rest of the world. Even most of the Republicans know that they cant get a Republican president this time due to failing policies of the last President. And I think due to her middle-ground bipartisan policies, both the Democrats and Republicans had almost accepted her as the next president.

If Hillary is such a perfect candidate, then what made her loose so badly now? I think that Americas reluctance to support Hillary can be compared with the cold feet a man gets a day before his marriage with a perfect homegrown girl. He has always seen that girl grow since high school and knows that she is the perfect girl for him who can make his life better. All his life he knew that he will marry her. But then when he is just about to marry her, he begins to think whether he is making a mistake, whether he should wait more before settling down, whether there is something in her that he does not like, or like the movie Last Kiss, whether there exists a young Rachel Bilson for him out there. Fortunately or unfortunately, Democrats found the young sexy Bilson in Barack Obama.

I will now come to conclusion of this blog. I think that the current Democrats fancy with Barack Obama will come out to be a huge mistake for them. This election is the only chance Democrats have got to improve the corrupted system created by years of Republican rule. I am not blaming Republican party only for being corrupted. Anyone who is in power for too long can get corrupted. And that is why we should keep changing the governments. But if the Democrats think that they should change this system, then they still have a chance to elect Hillary as their nominee. If Barack Obama becomes the Democratic nominee, then most probably, like him, most Democrats will feel during the general elections, what happens when you are suddenly woken up from your sweet dreams. They would find that he has nothing to counter against any Republican attack on him. His ideas will be proved to be highly impractical. All he could do is to say something nice in debates about hope and change. And these words will sound very funny in any debate on policies. And whatever policies he do wish to propose, he will find that they are shown to be so much to the extreme left (which they are), that any Republican in his/her right mind will not support them; and all his talks of bipartisanship will not stand. And just like Al Gore and John Kerry, Democrats might loose their most well-deserved opportunity of having a Democratic president in those debates. Its still not too late.
