the strongest anti Hillary venom is from the Obama people

Maybe right now, but overall it's from the GOP, before Obama even threw in his name Hillary was uniting the GOP. As I drive through East TX this weekend I noticted all the "anything but Hillary" signs, and these are definately not Obama fans, most of them still had Romney or Guiliani signs that they haven't removed yet.

Obama will, I think, win Ohio and Texas.

Clinton needs to gracefully bow out now.



The Libertarian candidate will loose.

I hope you're right.

Your comparisons are ridiculous. Gore WAS pretty stiff in his campaign...he's a lot better at appearing comfortable in public NOW, but back then he WAS boring - but his policies were right.

As for GWB being the 'feel good guy' - please don't even try this. NO ONE ever called GWB charasmatic, NO ONE ever called GWB 'a movement', NO ONE ever accused him of being in the ranks of JFK and MLK in terms of oratory skill and ability to inspire. No one.

'I'd rather have a drink with GWB than Gore' is in a completey different universe from the things people are saying about Obama.

It's not even comprable and I'm surprised that you are saying such silly things.

You're in Ohio........who are you voting for?

[U2democrat]

Obama's had it easy?

Yeah, he's had it easy fighting the media declared "Inevitable" Hillary Clinton for the last year.

He's had it easy despite winning 11 primaries in a row he still has to fight, if it were the other way around he'd be the Huckabee of the Democratic party.

He's had it easy being either too black, or not black enough.

I could go on

I predict a split tonight, and the race will go on.

I think Clinton wins Ohio, Texas could go either way.

Why do people seem to think Obama is more "electable" in November than Clinton is? I mean, yeah you hear all the "Hillary is a bitch etc" talk but for all that I'd still figure on Bill Clinton supporters voting Hillary, and he was a pretty popular President. Whereas if it's Obama every bigot with eyeholes in his sheets will be stumping for McCain...

You are looking at this in its proper context.


Obama in 2008 is what Bush was in 2000

an unknown.

And look how well that turned out.

I knew who Bush was in 1999 when he began his campaign. I was 11 at the time. Calling him an unknown is really stretching it.

Winning small states like Utah, and the mid-West states that are GOP stong holds does help with the nomination.




if you look at this map you will see Obama is stongest in states the Dems will not win in Nov

[CTU2fan]

I remember people being really high on Bush pre-2000. In '99 I'd have bet on Bush winning, and winning handily. Things didn't quite turn out that way though, electoral college be damned.

Question for anyone supporting either HRC or Obama. If your candidate loses would you actually vote McCain rather than the Democrat? Currently I'm leaning toward HRC, but I'd be perfectly happy with Obama and wouldn't hesitate to vote for him.

when I say unknown

I don't mean name recognition


W was elected on the presumption that he would be like his Dad

GHW Bush 1 and if he were like his father we would not be living in this nightmare.

[U2democrat]

They're GOP strong holds with Clinton as the nominee.

With Obama, they're in play.

[phanan]

Let's face it. With either one, it's a toss-up.

Gotcha. Although, I don't seem to recall hearing about Bush 1 being a fantastic or even that popular of a president.

perhaps Virginia

but if your remove your emotional investment from your thinking

I believe you would conclude that those states in play will end up in the red zone

also, Hillary has a much better shot in Florida than Obama

I'm 100% behind Obama right now. I've always been a huge admirer of Hillary and was hoping she'd run. However, I feel like she's too divisive in terms of the GOP hate for her, and I'm very disappointed in the way she's run her campaign. I feel like a lot of it has been based on tactics similar to the Bush campaign right down to the Rovian fear tactics in her latest ad, "inIt's 3 am....". As soon as she started losing her hold on the nomination she resorted to attacks, and that is not the Hillary Clinton I've looked up to. That being said, there is little policy difference between her and Obama, so I willsupport her in November if she's the nominee.

If Virginia is in play, other states are in play.

I'm a poli-sci major, I can analyze without emotional investment thank you very much.

At this point in the race, if Clinton were to pull off an upset, so many of the new voters and independents who joined the movement purely because of Obama, will most likely stay home in November with a Clinton nomination.
