Politics As Usual

Another Tuesday and another round of delegates go up for grabs. Since John McCain has the Republican nomination wrapped up, the media focus will be on the Democrats. Hillary Clinton—behind in delegates and loser of the last 10 races—wasted no time in addressing the issues that really matter. Clinton accused Barack Obama of plagiarism for using a line from a speech made by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. Obama, a friend of Patrick's admitted to using the line with Patrick's suggestion and regrets not attributing him. Clinton's camp went on to say that the lack of attribution "raises questions about the premise of his (Obama's) candidacy." Obama obviously defended himself and called shenanigans.
Uhm, are you kidding me? These third grade antics (not to mention the baggage that comes along with Hillary) raise questions about the premise of her candidacy. Not only that but they are yet another example of why this country needs new leadership and major reform. I'm not insinuating Barack Obama will be the solution, but right now he is a step in the right direction and seems like the best choice.
