Delaware Liberal

I would like to the first at Delaware liberal to take a step back from the HRC bashing

Feel free to call this a “Dellib Watershed” Moment.  We here at Delaware lib have had a few of them.  When Delaware’s hottest blogger was added to the fray,  The Veterans Day Post, the 9/11 historic Post, live blogging on Feb 5th in Delaware.  We have had moments where the mold was broken.

I however would like to apologize to any HRC supporters we have turned off.  I am the first to admit when I’m wrong in my house (usually b/c I am, but that doesn’t matter here).  What turned me on about being a Delaware Liberal reader was that Jason Kept it real  I have no regrets at all regarding my Veterans Day post.  Quite honestly I surprised it took so long for Cheney to say what I said this administration felt all along.  Jason’s 9/11 post was dead on and I’m proud to be a part of this type of in your face, like it or hate it style of commentary.

What I realized though not too long ago was we are becoming an Obama sounding board.  What really brought it to the front of my eyes was on March 17th.  That day I sent out an email to a local chef that worked a wine tasting event for the Brandywine tasting group PRO BONO.  I offered to give the gentleman a shout out here on the blog.  He donated quite a bit of his time and money for this event and I felt a little free advertising would be just the thing for this guy. 

First thought I asked him to look at the site and tell me if he wanted the shout out.  He looked and got back to me and said, “Thanks man, but Obama scares the hell out of me”

So, like the Breaking News piece I did a week or so ago, that reminded everyone that Obama is at his core still a politician I for one will try to real in myself and take a balanced look at both candidates.  I will try to no longer be all ga-ga over BHO and bash HRC.  In the end I still think that they will both be better than any GOP candidate.  They are however politicians and I for one will not give anyone a free pass anymore just because I don’t like their opponent. 

It is not fair to my readers, to our readers, To Delaware any longer.  I apologize for not being fair and balanced. 

So the other item that prompted me to write this piece was this:

Asked if there was a scenario in which she would drop out before the last primaries on June 3, Clinton said no. “I am committed to competing everywhere that there is an election,” she said.

Why did this particular line strike me? Because if Al Gore had done the same thing 8 years ago, where would be. I don’t want someone to roll over. I admire this in a way. Is strikinlgy bush-like? Maybe, but if you look at the flip side it shows something else that maybe as an Obama supporter or a Clinton hater we have missed.

Now if she has NO chance to win and continues to do this then perhaps I will sing another tune. But, again in closing I am not going to sacrifice who I try to be by not attacking everyone with the same piss and vinegar that I normally reserve for the right.
