The Democrat party has just come to face to face with reality, and they are scrambling. Their frightening reality is the specter of the Hillary train roaring down upon them and they are tied to the rails. This train has been coming for 8 years--it’s what they worked and wished for--and right on schedule and no surprise to anyone. The scramble to untie themselves from the track has taken frantic to near panic activity. The first of our tone-deaf representatives in Washington D.C. to cut the knots and abandon the Hillary Express is Senator Conrad who has put his stamp of approval on Barack Obama in an often run TV ad for Obama, and now he has authored a middle-page opinion piece in the Fargo Forum of Feb. 4. Conrad says Obama is best suited to unite our country and lead us to face these challenges. He tells us Obama is honest; it’s plain to see why Conrad would make that statement as a cloud of suspicion and indictments have hung over the Clintons, Hillary and Bill both, since their days in Arkansas.
On Feb. 1 Rep. Earl Pomeroy cut the bonds and jumped the tracks--he too came out for Obama saying that he has demonstrated rare capacity for leadership that you don’t often see…I am very excited about what he offers. The question to be asked is what is the “capacity for leadership” and what it is it that he “offers”? He is a 4 year senator--never has run anything, worked in public funded programs, and then sat in public paid offices. One has to ask the question, “Is this the man who may come face to face with the world’s most ruthless dictators to talk the hard talk of peace?” Is America to put its fate in the hands of a man with 4 years experience in the U.S. Senate--a shared responsibility with 99 others? A man with no accomplishments other than getting elected?
The Democrat party still harbors deep seated guilt over the bad behavior of president Clinton and Hillary in their 8 years in the White House. They know, too, it was 8 years wasted and squandered--a time when freedom could have been advanced, terrorism could have been checked, social programs could have been repaired--it was an opportunity for America. It was an opportunity lost and Conrad and Pomeroy know this.
The choice made by Conrad and Pomeroy was between the devil they know (Hillary) and the unknown who comes with no leadership record and possesses only oratory skills. They have picked oratory--a good talker. America deserves better!

Conrad and Pomeroy might know this (I am relatively new to ND politics), but I think the rest of the Dem establishment has their head stuck in the sand and is unwilling to acknowledge anything other than the usual reminiscence for all things Clinton.
