Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton will do battle once again in yet another primary on tuesday. This time the two battlefields are north carolina and indiana. Early polls show that Indiana is all but won for Hillary and that she is closing the gap in North Carolina. These two states are must wins for Hillary as the end of her presidential bid is near. In a suprising change from the past few weeks, the two democratic candidates showed support for eachother. They must have felt that their prior technique of criticizing eachother is just not working.
However,as was expected, they could not both hold speeches in which everything was agreed upon. They continued discussing their opposing views on the proposed "gas tax holiday." Hillary continues to stress its importance while Barack continues to say that it is an unrealistic proposal that lies to Americans. Personally, i would have to agree with Obama. The idea of cutting gas prices during the summer months in hopes of saving Americans money and stimulating the economy seems unrealistic. The gas problem is what it is. Having a "gas tax holiday" is not going to last long and, at most, will be a short lived event that will put very little money in our pockets. It sounds like politicians throwing out some crazy idea in hopes of gaining last minute votes. Let's just throw that idea out the window and move on with the more important issues (i.e. economy, iraq, my 401k).
So, here we are. One Republican nominee has been decided and a battle between two Democratic nominees continue. And two more primary's tomorrow. If Barack is able to win just one, which seems likely, the end is near for Hillary. It would be great for all democrats if she just quit now....
The following is a link to a broadcast from NPR in regards to the tomorrows primary's- listen and enjoy.
