Refused to throw up a winner for Democrats

There are now basically two schools of thought that revolve around the future prospects of the two candidates. One school of thought says that Obama has a better chance to defeat a Republican candidate. There are two reasons behind this logic. The first is that Obama offers a vision for real change while Hillary practices a middle of the road kind of politics that embraces many Republican themes. Second and more important is the deep resentment and even hatred that the Clintons trigger amongst Neo-cons and the deeply conservative Americans who detest the very thought of another Clinton in the White House. There is a strong chance that Hillary as the Democratic candidate will attract an avalanche of sleazy allegations, a tidal wave of Monica Lewinsky jokes and a lot of mud thrown at the alleged peccadilloes of the former occupants of the White House. Some of the mud might stick and sink the Hillary candidacy. This school of thought thinks that most Democratic voters are smart and seem to realise this fact.

Yet, it would be foolhardy to write off the precision run election campaign of Hillary whose biggest asset would the deal making and negotiating skills of her husband and former President Bill Clinton. According to many analysts, while Obama may be attracting the media attention with highly publicised endorsements and support, Bill is busy furiously talking to and pumping hands with the people and the movers and shakers who really matter in the Democratic Party. And his eight years as President have left him with a huge fund of goodwill generated through his politics of patronage. Without any doubt, Bill now plays a decisive role in deciding the fortunes of Hillary and her candidature. Her top strategist, Mark Penn said, “The race will drag on for weeks longer; this is not going to be decided any time in the near future.”

Either ways, whether Hillary or Obama eventually win the nomination and the Presidency, they will create history. And they will inherit the job of the most powerful man on earth from a man who has decisively transformed America into the most hated nation on earth. That is when the real politics will begin.
