The Cause of Hillary Clinton's Failed Presidential Bid

[Boogle]

I believe the most influential reason behind Hillary's unsuccessfull bid getting to White House is her family's affiliation with the sleazy family of Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, a hated Philippine political family like the Marcoses. :mad:

Mrs. Arroyo's family cheated their way to Malacañang Palace, to wit:


First, via 2001 coup d'eta against the government of Pres. Joseph Estrada, a famed local movie actor; and,

Second, through massive vote rigging in 2004 presidential election against Fernando Poe, Jr, the national hero of the Philippine local movie industry.


Most americans (afro-americans, asian-americans, european-americans) felt Hillary Clinton's continued refusal to concede defeat a dangerous sign of political obsession, like Mrs. Arroyo's obsession to become president of the Philippines. :mad:

I thought the main reasons she lost were initially underestimating her opponent and being economical with the truth (sniper fire lie etc) , her failure to concede could be considered both a strength (never say die attitude) and weakness (personal ambition before the good of the Democratic Party ) .

I think she lost because Race is a stronger motivator than Religion. Both Barack and Hilary had their controversies but in the end it was the chance to have the first black president that clinched it for Barack. Afterall, he didn't highlight his policies beyond Iraq very well.

I think its kind of ironic how the Democratic party was calling her to quit the race so early when she still had a chance to comeback. Shameful if you ask me.

I can understand why they wanted her to quit , the longer it dragged on the more McCain benefited . Having his two main opponents tearing chunks out of each other for so long must have been a dream come true !

That's true but it is not their decision how long a candidate stays in the race. In fact, by saying quit, they are being very undemocratic. Ironic?

But you are right, it was a dream come true :D
