The Clinton Ploy

Hillary Clinton is making it known that she will not be giving up her bid to become the next President of the US. She will ultimately be relying on the decision to go to the Democratic convention, something many Democrats are against. However, Clinton makes a compelling argument that Barack Obama has failed thus far to win the big states and that Obama has garnered support in states that will receive Republican support come election time. Clinton argues that Obama has won many red states, which is responsible for his lead in the delegate count. Many Democratic strategists make the case that Clinton stands the better chance at beating McCain in the general election, given these facts. Don't get me wrong, I am an Obama supporter myself, but I cannot 100% disagree with what she is saying. Obama has weak support among the elderly and with the majority of the white middle class also supporting Clinton, Obama cannot survive on the college and minority votes alone. Whether or not Clinton's
"ploy" will prove effective or not, will be determined in August when the Democrats decide their nominee.
