Hillary: "This is how the West was won!"

Senator Hillary Clinton convincingly won her second bona fide primary season election yesterday, when she defeated Barack Obama by 6-percentage points to win Nevada.

When Hillary defeated Obama in New Hampshire--against all hopes and odds--by only 2-percentage points, the media and Obama campaign dismissed it as some type of fluke, because the margin was so slim. They blamed it on her emotional appeal after she showed signs of tears during a question-and-answer session. The media's only question was, "Can she sustain her momentum?" Yesterday, in another dog-eat-dog campaign, fought with the blood, sweat and determination of a grassroots campaign, against the endorsement of the state's largest union of Senator Obama, and the decision to give those members of the culinary union an advantage by allowing them to caucus on the Vegas Strip, Hillary defeated Obama soundly!

So, the answer to the media's question is a resounded, "Yes!"

Today, the question the Obama campaign must answer is, "How can you turn out such large crowds at your rallies, win the admiration of the media, but fail to turn voters out to the election polls?"

My answer to that question is people always love to see a hero, who is Obama, but they'll always back a winner, who happens to be Hillary.

The political pundits and media continue to play the Obama game. They play him up even though he has lost every political match against Clinton since he won the single state of Iowa. If it had been Clinton who did that they would have written her political obituary, which they were ready to do after she lost Iowa. They have since put it in the top drawer after she won New Hampshire, of course. She even won where Democrats were not even competing, which was the state of Michigan.

Now it's six days until the Democratic primary in South Carolina. It remains to be seen if Obama can rally his supporters, where the Democratic electorate is fifty-percent African-American, or will Hillary clinch that from his hands also?

I stood behind Hillary after her unconvincing defeat in Iowa, when the rest of her base was ready to bolt, and I will continue to back her "until the last dog is dead." I believe, fervently, that the Democratic voters of the United States will support Hillary for the White House, despite Obama's false promises and hopes, which continue to be untested and unproven in the harsh, unforgiving field of political discourse.
