Don't forget the real battle

As the race between Obama and Clinton is dragging on, both of them seem to have shifted their attention from each other to John McCain. And appropriately so, because that’s where the real battle lies. McCain is a great patriot and has served the country well, but his accomplishments are in the past. He offers no new ideas, no real solutions, and it’s clear that his politics wouldn’t be much of a change from the current administration.

What a shame it would be if the democratic infighting got so bitter that we missed out on this wonderful opportunity to make history and shape the future. Both democratic candidates are extremely bright and capable individuals, and both would break new ground for this country. Hillary may be more steeped in traditional politics than Obama, but she’s still light years ahead of McCain. Let’s hope that no matter who wins, people from both camps will come together and support the nominee. As we hash out the differences between the two, we should not forget that the major philosophical and practical differences are between Republicans and Democrats, and the fight for the Democratic nominee is merely over who’s the best representative for what we believe in.
