Here, Here, Lets Follow Traditions

As Soap Box Ravings recalls, the political process for selecting a presidential candidate consists of folks campaigning, citizens voting on who they like and then there traditionally was a national convention in which the state delegates determined who would represent their political party.

Now I hear calls for Hillary to give up her fight and let Obama win.

I totally disagree and I hope Hillary Clinton continues to hang in there until the Democrat National Convention delegates determine who shall represent the Democrat Party. It may well be Obama, but at least it follows tradition.

The Democratic Party has brought this situation on themselves when Hillary was essentially initially preordained. First they allowed the states they wanted to change the time they voted for candidates earlier in the year. These changes were to set up to ensure Hillary would be their candidate. At the same time, the Democrat Party tried to control the States of Florida and Michigan by refusing to accept the voting results from these states because the states changed their voting dates without the permission of the Democrat National Party. I do not believe any state should be told what to do by a national political party.

Now they want the Convention delegates to vote by 1 July to declare Obama the winner, months before the Democrat National Convention.

Hang in there Hillary!
