There seems to be a feeling of inevitability on the Right, for a Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama Democrat ticket for President and Vice President in 2008. Staring at that possibility, pundits bemoan the fact that it will be “unbeatable.”

I would beg to differ. A Hillary/Obama ticket brings absolutely NOTHING to the table that wasn’t already there. Let us examine the facts.

In every national election in recent memory, the Democrats have won the majority of the women voters. While Republicans have doe relatively well with certain demographics, married women for example, the majority of single women continue to vote Democrat. This is not likely to change in the near future.

So, Hillary will win this demographic. No surprise here. However, the question becomes, will she bring NEW voters into the campaign? Will she bring enough new voters into the campaign to make a significant difference in the election? In my opinion, the answer is a resounding NO!

Hillary Clinton enjoys the largest name recognition of any candidate who has ever strapped on the presidential candidate feedbag. Her name recognition is so great that she will undoubtedly campaign on her first name alone, campaigning simply as “Hillary!”

The reason for that is two-fold. First of all, she would really, really like for people to forget about that husband of hers; you know the one; the guy who took sexual favors in that little corridor outside the Oval Office. Hillary wants you to think of her as a decisive Senator from New York, NOT the wife a philandering husband who embarrassed not only himself and his country, but his wife as well.

The second reason she will campaign as “Hillary!” is that she wants to continually remind everyone that she is a woman! She really has little to fear on that score, as every time she speaks, we are reminded of that fact.

In fact, that is her greatest weakness. Every time she speaks, we are reminded by her voice, that not only is she a woman, but she sounds like a woman with which all too many of us are familiar.

She sounds like an EX-WIFE!

Every time she gets before a gathering and gets passionately into a speech, most of the men in the audience begin to hear an ex-wife screeching at them. A lot of women, married to men with ex-wives, hear the similarity as well. While she may play well in Democrat Party gathering, where onlookers are willing to overlook the uncomfortable feelings her screech-owl voice elicits, in Middle America she simply turns people off.

For every new single woman she brings into the voting booth, there are two, the ex-husband and his new wife, who will be turned off by Hillary! This is a net gain for the Democrats of a minus-1.

And that is not even to mention the mobilization of the Republican base that a Hillary candidacy will mount. Conservatives, Neo-conservatives, Evangelicals, Fundamentalists and even Misogynists will unite to defeat a woman many define as “The Devil Incarnate.”

It is not coincidental that the Mainstream Media has shown an eagerness to identify and stand behind any credible, or even semi-credible Democrat candidate who might stand against the ‘Hilda beast,” as even they recognize the futility of her campaign.

Noble sentiments about the ‘historic nature” of a woman President, or the “it’s about time” theme so prevalent in Democrat Talking Points, still contain just a hint of the acknowledgement that Hillary might not actually be the “One.”

The “historic nature” of which, brings us to Barack Obama. He is being touted by the MSM as the first black Presidential candidate with an actual chance to win. Apparently, the Rev Martin Luther King never really had a chance to capture the imagination of the American electorate, while such luminaries as Rev Al Sharpton and Rev Jesse Jackson were nothing more, in the opinion of the MSM, than sideshow carneys.

While the MSM is careful not to make the Biden mistake, and call Obama “articulate” and “clean” the message is subliminally clear; “HEY, he ain’t like the rest of ‘em!”

This subliminal racist message is clear in every MSM report about the candidate. And, unfortunately, while not part of the Democrat Party Plank, the dirty little secret is: Democrats do not respect people of color!

Historically the Democrat Party can count on 90 percent-plus of the Black vote. In spite of the color-blind nature of President Bush’s administration, and the high profile candidates fielded by the Republican Party in the mid-term elections, that stranglehold is not likely to change any time soon. So what does Barack Obama bring to a Presidential Ticket? Not a thing!

For every new black Democrat vote he brings into the electoral process, he will drive away a liberal white vote. Because, the dirty little secret is; the Modern Democrat Party is the party of discrimination; the party of oppression; the party of “you just can’t do it without my help!”

Democrat liberals, while mouthing platitudes about equality and justice, are the very people who see race and ethnicity in every person. The liberals are the people who see only hyphenated Americans, not just Americans.

While “little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” is one of the noblest sentiments ever expressed, it is in the Republican Party where these principles are practiced, not the party of Kennedy, King and Roosevelt.
