Know Your Candidate

Tomorrow's Primary May Decide Tomorrows President.
By David Cowan

Tomorrow's Pennsylvania primary for the Democratic nominee is a point of major concern for both candidates. If Hillary Clinton fails to capture the state she may well have to drop out of the race, though she has repeatedly said she has no plans of doing so. Barack Obama will have to overcome statements he had made at the beginning of the month about the people of Pennsylvania.

During the week the candidates have been upping the attack ads and the news it seems has done little more than report the days mudslinging. I believe that it is time to quit focusing on the obvious flaws of these candidates, for we are not electing them on that, and again focus on what they plan to do.

We are looking to the future not the past. For the democrats to have any hope of beating John McCain in the race for the presidency, then they must put the daggers away. If I were a republican consultant, and who says I'm not at this point in the story, I would be paying close attention to what the democrats are saying about each other now. Because it will be great fodder once a candidate is elected.

Do you think Hillary Clinton is focusing too much on Barack Obama's remark that voters have become bitter and are "clinging to guns and religion"?

I think that we have a seperation of church and state and that it shouldn't be as big a deal as it has been. These petty little problems are distracting the people from the greater issues of character and competency.
