What does it really matter if either Obama or Hillary wins

Your question, after giving it some thought, brings to the surface the obvious that POLITICAL CORRECTNESS makes difficult to see. Why are the dumbocrats having such a difficult time deciding between 2 candidates so similar on the issues? The issues are not the issue. The dumbocrats are having a power struggle between the feminist-sexists and the black-racists!

It probably always seems to those not in a particular party that there is little difference between the candidates running for that party's nomination. In the case of the GOP candidates McCain and Paul are probably the most different from each other than any of the other Republicans that have long since dropped out of the race but I probably wouldn't be as likely to notice what differences there are as someone who voted or will be voting in a GOP primary would be. You ask, "Why do Democrats continue to fight over what seems to be the same exact politician?" I'd guess that although I'll admit Clinton and Obama are pretty close to each other on many issues the small differences that do exist may be a big deal to some voters. Also, of course each party wants to choose the nominee they feel will have the best chance of winning in November. In my opinion there were several good candidates who were probably the most qualified to be President who dropped out long ago so who knows what that "magic ingredient" actually is that causes the media and the largest number of voters to single out one or two candidates out of a dozen or so. I just hope we do a better job this time at choosing a President than we did the past two elections. Annie

Yeah I agree with RYBD, these democratts are so dumb, they dont even see that they are going to hand over the White House to Mcaine in a silver plata!

Actually there are differences between them - and NO I am not including race or gender in those differences. They have slightly different opinions on health care for one, also Hillary supports the Gas Tax Holiday, and Obama is smart enough to realize that it would not really help or fix anything. There are other differences as well. I agree that a decision needs to be made and a definite nominee needs to be selected, though. Hopefully this will not continue much longer.

Classic power struggle between the two minds. Neither has the ABILITY to give up and throw their hat in the other's ring, and as long as the voters are 67% in favor of them both running it out to the finish, I think they will.
