A close race is the best thing for our party!

[awake]

A kind well thought out race where each side presents there best case will gain more press as time go on and this can only help our candidate in the end. If any of our candidates puts the race in the bag too soon then the Replubicans will get all of the press where as a close race draws attention to our views and can only help.

1. Perhaps, but for those who have invested heavily

in her inevitable cake walk through the primaries it is a cause for panic. Sanders supporters mostly never thought he would get this far and are just happy to have a serious candidate running on the left for a change, so for us it is all good.

2. They ate her cake?

We Bernie supporters expected all along that Bernie would put up a real fight. We did not expect the party goons to be so corrupt and deny democracy --- but we see now their true heritage and it kinda explains why the country and our politics is so damn messed up.

Bernie simply must be elected if we are going to have real hope for real change.

3. Exactly.

4. I think you want to be very clear in stating you are referring to a close "primary" race

I doubt I am the only one who dreads a close Presidentail race, particularly after GWB's theft in 2000.

6. I did post in the GD "Primaries" forum so yes I am talking about the Primary race

8. Good

but that was not a given...

5. Perhaps so

but no other candidate has emerged that approaches Clinton in drawing support. The latest Reuters poll has her up by 31 points. This is anything but a close race.

7. It will not be in Hillary's best interest to win early

Whom ever wins in the end will be best served with a long race where we will get the most "free Press" coverage for our ideas to be heard
