We’ve all heard it hundreds of times by now. Hillary Clinton needs to drop out of the race, to make room for Obama, etc. Why is it ignored that Hillary HAS carried the states we NEED to WIN in November?

Why is it ignored that Obama is NOT carrying the support of lower and middle-income Democrats, of Catholics and women? Not to mention more white men are also becoming Hillary supporters lately.

That mainly leaves Obama with blacks and some richer folks in our party known as the elite. These two groups do NOT represent ALL Democrats. And if Obama isn’t carrying them now, he’s NOT going to have their support come November.

The best solution on the part of Democrats was to keep Hillary and Obama TOGETHER on the ticket. This way, their supporters, combined, would give Democrats what they need to WIN in November.

My gut tells me this is not going to happen. I have clearly stated that I will support McCain if Hillary is not on the ticket. Many others will follow suit. McCain will enjoy victory in each and every state that Hillary carried during the primaries. McCain will most likely be our next President of the United States.

But back to main point. I think our superdelegates need to consider Obama’s math problem. It is being said that Hillary’s having the math problem in delegates, but Obama’s math problem is far more fatal. He doesn’t perform in key states. He can’t take NY and CA, they’ll go to McCain (trust me I am from NY). Isn’t the math problem in the general more serious than all else? Doesn’t it matter that he can’t carry the majority of the base all across the country?

I hope the superdelegates aren’t so dumb as to think that Hillary’s supporters are so loyal to the party that we’ll stick with the party regardless of who the nominee is.

We won’t. I won’t. I vote the person, not the party. And this year, I won’t be voting for Obama.
