Tracy Flick or Hillary Clinton???YOU decide.

In what is arguably the most fascinating political competition of the past 200 years, Hillary Clinton has held on like a determined bulldog to her political aspirations. It is a stunning example of tenaciousness and an unbelievable denial of fact, as well as a personal belief that a cosmic interference will make it all "right" for her. Ironically, Republicans crossed the lines in Pennsylvania to give her that victory- maybe as many as 30,000- so maybe "right" did have a hand in it. Not because republicans have a racial agenda- after all, Republicans are the party of civil rights and the eradication of separate but equal- but because it will keep the Democrats at one another until their convention. Of course, she is staying for a serious reason- she (and frankly, I) is convinced that had Americans truly KNOWN Obama, they would have voted for her. And by that logic, she has been cheated of her rightful nomination by a pretender to the throne whose past has been so hazy that it obscured the vision of the intelligent voter and blinded the young. And now time, that great bastard that never stops, has exposed the weaknesses of and robbed the extemporaneous eloquence from her opponent. If only we had all seen that PRIOR to the primaries. Yet she persists. And I wait for the cupcakes that say the equivalent of PICK FLICK. Hillary's might say "It's MY TURN!" Who knows. But certainly, if a movie were ever to show the dogged persistence of a candidate to succeed, it would be ELECTION. And if there was ever a young girl who would symbolize what a young Hillary Clinton would have been like, it is Tracy Flick. Only now the stakes are much higher. And like Tracy's election, people have been, and will continue to be, destroyed by ambition. What an amazing time.
