Democrats battle as McCain goes smoothly in the race

s the Democrats continue to race against each other until the convention in August, McCain runs in the campaign with a clear field.
McCain plans on boosting fundraising, establishing control over the Republican National Committee, going on a week long biographical tour of America and addressing states where he has not yet campaigned.
But according to the “Washington Post,” Republican strategists believe that McCain did not make good use of the extra time that the Democratic battle has given him, criticizing that he should have had more fundraising to help close the financial gap between him and his rivals.
While McCain runs a clean race with no battles, the disputes between the Democratic parties continues on. According to seatlepi.com, 28 percent of Hilary Clinton voters said that they would vote for McCain rather than Barak Obama, and 19 percent of Obama supporters said they would rather vote for McCain than Clinton.
Former president Bill Clinton has informed Democrats to “chill out” about the race between Hilary and Obama, because some have been saying that the race has been going on too long. Both Hilary and Obama plan on staying in the race until the convention in August.
“If we just chill out here and let all the voters have their say, my gut is it's gonna come out all right,” Mr. Clinton said (ABC News).
According to CNN, Bill said that this race will actually strengthen the economy.
Granite Hills’ freshman Austin Jones disagrees with that statement. “If anything it’s making the party worse,” he said.
Jones thinks that the Democratic Party should now only have one presidential candidate instead of two. “I think they should have a preliminary across the country and who get the most amounts of votes should win,” he said.
According to the “Los Angeles Times,” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that the superdelegates should have the right to vote for whoever they want rather than to base their votes off the results of the district and state delegates.
