The Democrats are having a tough time of it because they have two history making candidates who are fairly close. Their loyal supporters are pretty evenly divided with blacks supporting Obama and women supporting Hillary. There are several observations that I want to share:

• Hillary believes that every vote must count but only if they count for her.
• The will of the people is important unless their will is not what the candidates want.
• Obama believes Hillary (and McCain) are insider politicians who resort to dirty tactics. His dirty tactics are outside the beltway and therefore OK.
• Howard Dean thinks Republicans disenfranchise voters. It is not wrong though for him to want the nomination decided now even though there are 10 states still left to vote.
• Bill Clinton thinks that the press treats Hillary unfair because the press now treats her as they have Republicans for decades. Bill does never had a problem with how Republicans get treated.
• Bill Clinton said Obama whined about his treatment in the last debate and Hillary never whined despite her constant whining during previous debates.
• Democrats say they have plans and solutions but can never elaborate on them. The only thing they ever say is that they will raise taxes.
• The definition of rich is anyone who earns wages when it deals with Democrats taxing the rich.
• Democrats act surprised that Hillary told a lie (many actually) as if she has been honest her whole public life. You can tell she is lying because her lips are moving.
• Obama said race is an issue in America. He does not feel his racist pastor is an issue.
• Obama was one of the first to condemn Don Imus and the first to defend his racist pastor.
• Democrats do not want a Republican to win unless their candidate loses the nomination. Then, they will vote Republican. Half of the Democrats know the other candidate is a loser.

These are but a few of the things I have taken away from listening to the Democratic candidates and party members chatter.

Feel free to add your own in the comments or trackback to this post with your observations.
