Even before this primary season had started the mainstream media already had framed the Democratic Party primaries as the new frontier in American politics by the possibility of nominating the first woman or the first black man to be the candidate of a major party in a presidential election - then the mainstream media went to work and they reinforced that idea and new concept over and over again - and since the primaries started we have been in the middle of a gender versus color of skin contest.
In the meantime the Democratic Party has divided its constituency among the lines of gender and color of skin. And in the process they also made the other democrat candidates running for the nomination completely irrelevant including John Edwards.
Here we are in January 31, 2008, and for all practical purposes a half dozen of mostly irrelevant states in terms of economic power, and number of people – have already decided for the rest of the 95 percent of the United States population who the two candidates are going to be representing the 2 major political parties in the November 2008 presidential election.
Basically, 95 percent of the US population had no saying on the major decision of this very important issue that affect the lives of 100 percent of the American people.
Now that we know that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic Party nominee, and John McCain it will represent the Republican Party the only question that it is left on the minds of most Americans who are not happy with the candidates that the political machine shoved down their throats – what happens next?
The Hillary / McCain presidential contest it will for sure bring in a 3rd party candidate, since millions of Americans will demand at least a 3rd choice.
Forget about Super Tuesday, February 5, 2008 the 20 states that will be having their primaries on that day are almost irrelevant at this point. At this point only fools don’t know that Hillary and McCain are the nominees of their parties.
What candidate do you like to see running as the 3rd party candidate in the November 2008 presidential election?
