June Bug?

February 5th, Super Tuesday, was supposed to be the day where we walked away with two presidential candidates for Democratic and Republican parties- we didn't. But now, April 1, we have a nominee to be in John McCain, but none on the Democratic side. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continue to fight it out, but the question is to how much longer can this go on?

Taking matters into their own hands, some Democratic party members and voters have taken it upon themselves to advise Sen. Clinton to step down, to end this prolonged Democratic race. As Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, an Obama supporter, put it, Sen. Clinton was never going to win enough delegates and he suggests that she should bow out in "the interests of a Democratic victory in November." What was Sen. Clinton's response? Well she likened herself unto none other than Rocky Balboa.

Clinton said that ending her campaign now would be like Rocky only going halfway up those museum steps and saying, "'Well, I guess that's about far enough." Clinton went on to say, "Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing a fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never get up And neither do the American people." She meant "give up". But if not, "get up" would be appropriate, seeing how some Americans don't want to get up and vote for her.

The senator went on to add that the Democrats won't have an easy time going up against the Republicans. Adding that the Republicans were not going to be turning off their attack machine. It's almost as if she thought there was a chance the Republicans would just hand presidency over to her.

April 22 is the date for the next primary in Pennsylvania. From it's all up in the air on whether or the not the Democratic candidates make any headway. If they don't it could mean a loss in November. But until the primaries it looks like we could be looking at a long haul all the way into June. You may have spring fever, now prepare yourself for the June bug.
