This is fun to watch!

Early news this morning proclaimed the Super Tuesday dominance of the Clinton campaign. By 9AM the casual reader would have assumed that the democratic nomination was well in hand. As the day wore on however, it became evident that Super Tuesday was not so super for Clinton and in fact she found herself hanging on to a draw. Clearly she won the biggest states but Obama won more states (14) to Hillary's eight. He also won more delegates overall.

Now at the end of the day, it appears that not only did she barely hang on for a draw but both campaigns are feverishly counting the total delegates needed for the nomination. By either account, the delegate count is slighty higher for Barack or at the very least he may trail by 5 or 6 delegates. See Story Here.

To make matters worse it is being rumored that Hillary may be experiencing financial troubles. Even her executive staffers are going without pay. Clinton even donated $5M of her own money in an effort to keep up with the Obama's remarkable fund raising.

It's possible that instead of the democratic nomination, the Clinton campaign is in real trouble. Read story.

What does all of this really mean? Well, The Brother on the Right thinks that we are witnessing the beginning of the end of the Clinton dynasty. Anytime, most of the democratic party and even solid middle America like Missouri line up to vote for a relatively little known black guy for Chicago instead of the sophisticated Clinton Machine it means that even the democrats have had enough of the Clintons. She can not win with her high negative numbers. Her polarizing factor is too strong. People either love her or hate her. There are no ambivalent feelings about Hillary. It's hot or cold. That's it. With Barack, he's got people who love him, people who dislike him and there are a lot of people in the middle. That means he has the ability to swing more of the "dislikers" and "people in the middle" to his camp than Hillary's ability to convince the "haters" to come over.

If the nomination comes down to McCain vs. Hillary, McCain will win hands down because of the extremely strong "anti-Hillary" sentiment among the people who are very much against her. No, droves of conservatives are not going to hold their noses and vote Hillary in a protest statement against McCain. People talk a real good one until they get in the voting booth. Conservatives would rather see their fingers drop off before they vote Hillary. Uh-uh. Ain't gonna happen. They'll either vote McCain or stay at home.

This leaves the democratic leadership in a pickle. See there is still the issue of the party's undeclared Super Delegates. Right about now, both campaigns have got to be burning up the phone lines in a mad attempt to get the support of the Super Delegates. The Super Delegates are hard line democrats who want their candidate to win. They know that Hillary faces a huge challenge to get elected and that Barack is showing some real chops. Real chops. If you're Hillary...scary chops. This cat can win.

Since Super Delegates are more likely to see their party win than a particular candidate, The Brother on the Right is thinking that they've got to be leaning toward lending their vote to the Brother on the Left. Barack Obama. Since these delegates get to hold their vote until the convention they could spring them at that time for a momentous climatic democratic convention capitalizing on Barack's popularity and hoping for a springboard to the White House. Can you imagine one of Obama's patented, highly inspirational speeches capping off the nomination? It could be emotionally powerful and connect him with many undecided Americans. Hillary does not possess that magnetism and ability to inspire large groups of people. Barack does.

Now with all that being said, there's virtually no ideological difference between these candidates. If either one wins, hold on to your wallet tightly and prepare for a re-write of our Constitution.

There has never been a more pressing and urgent time for all Americans to understand their rights because we may start losing them if we're not careful about what to watch for.

If I had to lean either way on the democrat side, I'd go with The Brother on the Left. For while I do not agree with any of his ideology, I do believe that he is not corrupted by Washington politics and that he acts with a sincere heart. He's sincerely wrong, but he believes he is right. And that will make a difference. Integrity and character wielded in the hand of the just are far more valuable than experience in the hand of the unjust. Don't look up that quote...I just came up with it:)



"Love your neighbor as yourself and your country more than yourself."

Thomas Jefferson
