Heidi, and the Heave-Ho

While inevitability might seem assured, there is one thing human beings are known for; fallibility. We don’t see into the future very well. In January 2007 Rudy Giuliani was the front runner in Republican circles deemed unbeatable. By June 2007 John McCain was left all but for dead in his Presidential aspirations. Senator Clinton was another “shoe-in” regarding the latest round of Presidential politics. If you listened to the hype, spin, and self serving media agendas, none of their names would be on our lips today. McCain would not be the republican Nominee. Giuliani wouldn’t look like such a bust, and Mrs. Clinton would have walked away with the Democrat nomination. Had her party been as wise as the founding fathers they would have used a winner take all strategy in primaries.

The Democrats have it exactly backward. Proportional distribution of votes would be proper if it the republic ever held a national election. The primaries and the General Election are comprised of 50 individual state races not a national one. The whole purpose of the Electoral College is to avoid the Democrat primary catastrophe which the media celebrates today.

And now to top off the pundantry/soothsayer’s inaccurate record, they are harping on the inability for Mrs. Clinton to win because the math doesn’t add up. They have already decided it’s over, she’s lost and they want to give her the “heave-ho, out the door. In normal mathematics classes and contests, the winner must meet the specified goal before being declared the winner. In this case the specified majority number of delegates has not been garnered by either democratic candidate. For that matter the Democrats can’t even agree on total numbers of delegates to capture. Instead they’ve chosen to disenfranchise voters in two large states Florida and Michigan. No delegates for you! The total delegate count is in doubt as Mrs. Clinton is likely to make the case late this month if those two state’s delegations are not seated at the democrat national convention. Regardless of that, even taking the DNC and media bandied number of 2025 delegates needed to win, someone ought to tell the prophesiers that the magic number hasn’t been reached yet by either candidate.

Sports fans would do well to remind the Democrats of The New York Jets - Heidi game of the 1970’s. With barely time left, the network switched off a game which the Jets were too far behind to rally from. The viewers got to watch the children’s flick Heidi instead. Unfortunately fans missed one of the most exciting comeback in sports history.

The Democrat establishment is trying to switch the channel to the Wonderful World of Heidi instead of letting us watch the rest of the game. With such an illustrious record as they have demonstrated in prognostication over the last 15 months, I think political sportsman would like to wait until the gun sounds before flipping the channel. When one candidate reaches the majority of delegates required and it is certifies then the race will be over. That is the point of a political convention by the way. Rushing it now is another backward trend in Democrat. The wishful thinking crowd might better serve us in another industry Perhaps they could administer lotteries, and we could get our prize money before the numbers are drawn.
