Democratic Party TimeAbout 75 Democrats clenching glasses of beer and wine gawk at plasma TV’s at Jillian’s bar in SOMA tonight predicting which candidate will win California and eventually the presidency.
San Francisco based Democracy Action is hosting the party for Democrats who eagerly await the primary results. They debate whether Obama or Clinton is the better choice.
“It’s too early to say who’s going to win,” Alec Bash, President of Democracy Action, told the Guardian. “Back in ’04, we thought Kerry would win by a landslide.”
Obama is the favored candidate here, but everybody agrees that both Clinton and Obama will improve the state of the country.
“Obama represents the diversity of this country. Just his face would change the international view of America,” Obama supporter Marilyn Bair told us.
There is no sense of animosity at Jillian’s between the Clinton and Obama fans. Everybody’s goal seems to be beating Republicans and changing the direction of American policy.
“The Republicans would tear Hillary apart. Obama has a much better chance against McCain,” Steve Noetzel, Green Beret in Vietnam, told the Guardian.
Some also hope that Nader will stay out of this election, and that Ron Paul will run under the libertarian ticket, stealing votes from the republican candidate. (David Carini)
