Kwaye kukho elinye iqhinga: Ukuba kukho amandla angenakoyiswa nangenakushukunyiswa akuvingcele kwi-ofisi oyinqwenelayo, vumela loo mandla, uwamkele kwaye uyathemba ukuba uyakukusikelela ngentsikelelo yawo kuvulo olulandelayo.
Lo ngumdlalo odlalwe ngabona baxhasi baphambili kuHillary Clinton. U-Evan Bayh, uTom Vilsack kunye noWesley Clark bonke babulangazelela ngokucacileyo ubongameli kwaye babenomdla wokuqhuba kulo nyaka. UVilsack ngenene watsibela elugqatsweni, umgqatswa wokuqala kulo naliphi na iqela ukwenza njalo, ngo-Novemba ngo-2006, ngelixa uBayh wenza ikomiti yokuhlola emva kwenyanga kwaye uClark akazange awuvale umsebenzi wakhe wezopolitiko emva kwephulo lakhe elibi lika-2004.
Kodwa ke bonke bacinga ukuba kungcono. U-Hillary Clinton wayekulungele ukungenela ugqatso njengoyena mbaleki uphambili ophambili kule mihla iphambili, exhaswa ngumxube wemali, ulindelo kunye nenkxaso yangaphakathi. Kwaye nayiphi na ioksijini angayityi iya kutyhilwa nguBarack Obama noJohn Edwards, kungashiyi gumbi kukhuphiswano luka-2008 komnye umntu. Ubulumko obuqhelekileyo bokuqala kuka-2007 babucacile: UClinton wayengoyise ongenakuphepheka, kwaye ngo-Obama no-Edwards elugqatsweni, akakho omnye umntu onokuthi aqatshelwe.
Omnye nomnye, ke, iidemokhrasi ezingaziwayo kodwa ezinamabhongo ngokulinganayo zaya kwicala kwaye zajoyina icandelo likaClinton lokugcoba. Kwiiveki nje ezimbini emva kokuphehlelela ikomiti yakhe yokuhlola ngoDisemba 2006, uBayh wabhengeza ukuba akazukuba ngumgqatswa, kwaye ngoSeptemba waxhasa ngokusemthethweni uClinton. UVilsack wagqiba ibhidi yakhe ngoFebruwari ophelileyo kwaye wasayina noClinton kwiinyanga ezimbalwa kamva, kwaye uClark wamxhasa ngoSeptemba.
Kwakulula ukwenza ubuhule emsebenzini kuzo zontathu iindlela. U-Bayh, umzekelo, luphononongo olwenziweyo lokuba kutheni uClinton etsala inkxaso engaphambili kolu gqatso kubantu abaninzi abanedemokhrasi.
Ngokufana no-Al Gore, uBayh ngumntwana waseWashington, umntu ophantse wazalelwa ukuba abalekele umongameli. Unyana ka-Birch Bayh, ingonyama endala yenkululeko kunye nowayesakuba lilungu le-senator lase-Indiana owayefuna u-Democratic President ngo-1976, waseka iingcambu e-Indiana nje ukuba afumane isidanga sakhe somthetho, wangena kwezopolitiko ezikhethiweyo ngo-1986, xa waphumelela ugqatso Unobhala welizwe eneminyaka engama-30. Kwiminyaka emibini kamva, wayeyirhuluneli, isikhundla awayehlala kuso amatyeli amabini. Ngasekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-90, iBayh yabonakala isendleleni engenakuphikiswa kwinqanaba lesizwe.
Ikhefu lakhe lokuqala elikhulu kwakufanele ukuba lifike ngo-1996, xa wayecelwa ukuba enze intetho ephambili kwindibano yeDemokhrasi- kwawona maqonga awaguqula uMario Cuomo waba yinkwenkwezi yesizwe ngo-1984. ukuba yayinguCuomo kwaye ayizange ishiye iiDemokhrasi ezininzi zifuna u-Bayh ngo-2000. Endaweni yoko, wabalekela isihlalo seNdlu yeeNgwevu ngo-1998 waphela engomnye wabagqatswa abane kwisikhundla sobongameli sika-Gore ngo-2000. kwiphulo lika-2004, mhlawumbi kubalwa ukuba uGeorge W. Bush wayenokuphumelela ukuphinda akhethwe kwakhona kwaye amathuba akhe aya kuba ngcono ngo-2008.
Ngokuqinisekileyo, ukusukela ngethuba uBush oyisa uKerry ngo-Novemba ka -04, u-Bayh wabonakala eqinisekile ngo-2008 ukuqhuba iphulo lakhe lesizwe ekudala lilindelwe. Wonyusa ukuhamba kwakhe nokunyusa ingxowa-mali, wathumela umkhosi omncinci wabasebenzi basezilalini ukunceda abagqatswa beDemokhrasi e-Iowa nase-New Hampshire, kwaye wazama ukuzibeka njengoyena mntu unokukhetha u-'08 kwi-Democrats-umntu onamandla okuphumelela. kwelinye lawona mazwe eRiphabliki kweli lizwe.
Ngaphezulu kwayo nayiphi na enye into, wathi xa wayesungula ikomiti yakhe yokuhlola, ndicinga ukuba sidinga umntu onokudibanisa abantu baseMelika kwinjongo efanayo yokwakha ilizwe lethu. Kwaye ayenzeki eWashington namhlanje.
Kodwa oko akuzange kuhlale ixesha elide. Ukuqonda indlela ekunokuba nzima ngayo ukufumana nakuphi na ukutsala nzima kugqatso olulawulwa yimali kunye nobuntu bukaClinton, u-Obama no-Edwards, uBayh wakhawuleza warhoxa. Xa waziphosa kumzamo kaClinton, umdlalo wakhe wabonakala ucacile: Yimpumelelo kuye kwiziprayimari zokufumana i-VP slot kwitikiti lakhe ekwindla. Ukuphumelela okanye ukuphulukana, wayeza kuba sethubeni lokuphumelela ibhaso elikhulu eyedwa ngo-2012 okanye ngo-2016.
Ewe, wayengenakukuvuma oku. Esidlangalaleni, wathi uyamxhasa uClinton kuba umongameli olandelayo wase-United States kufuneka abe namava kwaye abe namaxesha, kufuneka abe smart kwaye abe nzima. Kuninzi ngentetho yakhe yangaphambili yokufumana umgqatswa onokumanyanisa ilizwe kwaye aphumelele amaRiphabhlikhi-akunjalo amakhadi okubiza kaClinton, elinye lawona manqaku oluntu aphambili eMelika.
Kodwa isithethi seNdlu yabameli baseIndiana, uPatrick Bauer, konke kodwa waqinisekisa iinjongo eziyinyani zikaBayh. UBauer wathi u-Bayh wayemthandile ngokwakhe kwaye wacebisa ukuba u-Bayh wayecebisile ukuba angaphela kwitikiti elikhokelwa ngu-Hillary ekwindla.
UVilsack noClark, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, babeneengcinga ezifanayo. Njenge rhuluneli yangaphambili yase-Iowa, imeko ye-swing engundoqo ekwindla, uVilsack wayezazi kakuhle ii-asethi zokulinganisa amatikiti awayenokubonelela ngawo nawuphi na umtyunjwa weDemokhrasi, kungasathethwa ke ngokubaluleka kwakhe okubalulekileyo kurhulumente wakhe wokukhokela. Ukuphelisa owakhe umkhankaso kunye nokuxhasa uClinton, ukubala kwakucacile: Hambisa i-Iowa (kwaye ke, ukutyunjwa) kuye kwaye uzuze indawo kwitikiti lokuwa. (Akuzange konzakalise ukuba uClinton wanceda ukuhlawula ityala lakhe lephulo lika-Mongameli elingama-430,000 xa wayemxhasa.)
UClark, naye, ngokuqinisekileyo wayeqwalasele i-angle kamongameli wokudibanisa noClinton, esazi ukuba iziqinisekiso zakhe zomkhosi ziya kumenza abe nomtsalane kulonyulo lomongameli ngexesha lemfazwe. Kukwanokucingelwa ukuba wayeneliso ekubekweni kwinqanaba eliphezulu lekhabhinethi, unobhala welizwe mhlawumbi. Kubulungisa, ngokungafaniyo neBayh kunye neVilsack, i-engile yakhe yayisemsebenzini, inikwa ubudlelwane bayo bangaphambili kwiiClintons.
Ngokombhalo wokuqala, ekuphela kobuqhetseba beDemokhrasi ngentwasahlobo ka-2008 bekuya kubandakanya ukhetho lukamongameli luka-Hillary Clinton. Olu luhlanga uEvan Bayh, uTom Vilsack kunye noWesley Clark bonke babecinga ukuba bayangenela xa besenza iimvume zabo. Kodwa emva koko, kwenzeka into ehlekisayo, kwaye ngoku kujongeka ngathi uBarack Obama uzakuphumelela ukutyunjwa. Yeyiphi ebonisa ukuba xa uzama ukufumanisa indlela yokungena kwitikiti likamongameli, akukho nto enjengokhetho olukhuselekileyo.
