Saturday Night Live had it exactly right last weekend when they parodied Senator Clinton claiming why she should be the nominee despite there being no legitimate chance of her winning the Democratic Party presidential nomination and that message was reinforced by yesterday's election in West Virginia. In the sketch, the actress portraying Senator Clinton claimed she should be the nominee because she is "a sore loser" who has "racist supporters" and who has "no ethical standards whatsoever." In the West Virginia primary yesterday, we clearly saw Senator Clinton continue to play unethically to the racial sentiments of the least educated state in the nation (95% without college degrees) and these are obviously the actions of a sore loser who cannot admit defeat in an impossible-to-win situation and who will not step aside graciously to allow her party to unite towards a good campaign on the issues against the Republicans in the fall.
