On the back of Wyoming’s victory, it’s important to understand why Democrats need to settle the nomination fight now.

Everyone knows that there are no ’sameness’ in this election cycle – nearly all old rules in politics are already thrown out of the door. From the fund raising phenomenon, participation of young voters, to the unpredictability of candidates in both parties. Only as recent as 3 months ago, Clinton was dubbed the ‘inevitable’ nominee. Few people already wrote off McCain so early in the game and no one was taking Obama that seriously. But there’s one rule that will always stay true – one day is a long time in politics.

Fast forward to now, a number of people are calling Clinton to quit – myself included. The fact that she’s still in the game reflects the ’stubbornness’ of her well-oiled machine and a testament that this is simply not the typical election. In any other Democratic nomination fight, Obama would have simply become the nominee.

In my last post, i mentioned about the delegate math that is not on Clinton’s side. Her only hope of course is on superdelegates – the elders in the smoke-filled room to decide who is worthy of their support. Oh, and the other thing, to seat Florida and Michigan delegates back in the convention despite Obama’s name not even in the ballot in Michigan. The irony is, apart from the fact that she signed a pledge not to campaign and indirectly imply her agreement that the party rules agreed 1 1/2 year ago stand, Harold Ickles who is part of Clinton’s campaign has been shouting the loudest to ensure those delegates are seated despite the fact that he was the one who voted for the ban in the first place!!

The fight now has reached a point of no return. It’s simply destructive. Weeks ago, she shouted ‘Shame on you Obama’ on flyers which were already out weeks before – as if its new revelations. She claimed that Obama shouldnt have used tactics on the scripts of Republican playbook. What has she done then? Her infamous 3 AM ad is a clear fear-mongering exercise out of the same playbook she ‘despised’.

Recently, her attacks have increased to the point where she even praised her Republican opponent, McCain, for sharing the same credentials reducing Obama’s to just ‘one speech’ in 2002.
She literally feeding the Republican counterpart on attack points for Obama. I guess, when you are bound to lose everything, you are prepared to do almost anything!

So we say to her, “Shame On You Lucifer!”
