Hillary Rodham Clinton is a courageous candidate. She is of course a worthy candidate for the USA Presidential election, much more preferable to the Republican candidate.
But Barack Obama is far ahead of Hillary Clinton in delegates count, and for all intents and purposes Obama is as good as having been nominated. Further gains by Hillary Clinton in elections in the caucuses will not change the present trend. Therefore, Hillary Clinton’s decision to go on with the campaign until the last only shows, that she is a bad looser. That does not give her any credit for her future political carrier.
Hillary Clinton should know when to accept defeat, and if she does the American people would appreciate her the more. It is evident that the voters are getting tired of the Democratic Party’s endless campaign for the selection of a nominee. The Party should have a mechanism to stop a candidate from continuing the election campaign when it becomes apparent that one of the candidates has out spaced the others. The present situation is detrimental to the Democratic Party, as its unity is now at stake. The Republican Party is to gain if there is division in the Democratic vote bank.
In continuing her campaign undaunted despite knowing , that she would not obtain the minimum delegate count, Hillary Clinton sacrifices her allegiance to the party to realise her stubborn determination to continue to the last.
She has apparently nothing more to add to her already known credentials, as the suitable candidate to be the President of USA. She says she is more experienced than, Obama, which she cannot count upon, as experience is some thing that one is not born with, but which one gains. Barack Obama in the course of the present campaign has gained considerable credibility, and that adds to the experience he already has.
The other claim Hillary Clinton makes is that she is the most suitable Democratic candidate to defeat the Republican candidate. That claim is perhaps based on the fact that she had won more caucuses in her favour, or that she could get the votes of the larger number of white voters. But Barack Obama is a candidate of unity. During the campaign Obama has clearly demonstrated, that he is able to bind the white, and the black American Democrats to a one whole unity of American voters, which thus far no candidate either Democratic or Republican in the USA had been able to achieve.
To-day, in a world where USA is most unpopular, and being condemned for its aggressive politics, Obama would be a change. There is already a sense of hope that Barack Obama is the candidate, who if elected would be able to make the American democratic leadership meaningful, and settle opposition to America, and accept it as a nation who can bring the much needed peace to the world.
By continuing her campaign despite her evident loss to Obama, Hillary Clinton shows her greed for power rather than the desire to save America from the Republican-Bush administration and to bring back the Democratic Party into power. The prolonged campaign for nominations has caused much damage to Obama, and Hillary Clinton therefore forfeits her right for the Vice Presidential ticket under Obama.
