48. Looks like Hillary vs. Jeb

My guess is that Hillary will serve eight years and then it will be Jeb's turn for eight. Will Chelsea be old enough to run in 2032?

Who in hell is voting for Jim "Confederacy/Heritage" Webb? MADem Jul 2015 #4

maybe military people dsc Jul 2015 #6

Maybe they thought the pollster meant songwriter Jimmy Webb!!! MADem Jul 2015 #22

Yeah ... I saw that and wondered, too. n/t 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2015 #7

If they weren't thinking of the songwriter, maybe they were thinking of the NASA guy!! MADem Jul 2015 #30

Obviously Bernie sucks whatchamacallit Jul 2015 #11

Having the best record on issues of race should help to improve those numbers. Vattel Jul 2015 #12

Interesting coming from you whatchamacallit Jul 2015 #29

No ... My position has not changed regarding who I support in the Democratic primary ... 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2015 #35

Let's see if I have this straight... whatchamacallit Jul 2015 #37

Weird reply. Vattel Jul 2015 #20

Can someone try to explain this to me? Senator Tankerbell Jul 2015 #36

Fairly or not, Hillary is seen as being sympathetic to the needs of the African American community. DCBob Jul 2015 #39

Right. I kind of understand Senator Tankerbell Jul 2015 #40

I think its mostly due to being associated with the "First Black President". DCBob Jul 2015 #43

Tunnel vision perhaps. She's seen as the ONLY viable candidate for Democrats. oasis Jul 2015 #65

She pushed "three strikes" laws and supports the prison-industrial complex. Maedhros Jul 2015 #42

Occam's razor: people think she can win and doubt Bernie can Recursion Jul 2015 #74

It has more to do with being able to connect JI7 Jul 2015 #54

Maybe because... iandhr Jul 2015 #67

What does that have to do with my question? Senator Tankerbell Jul 2015 #68

There are probably many reasons but this is my guess as to one of them. iandhr Jul 2015 #78

That doesn't really explain support for Clinton Senator Tankerbell Jul 2015 #80

She has more experience with this level of campaign. gollygee Jul 2015 #72

Voters don't really vote on policy, most of the time Recursion Jul 2015 #73

Other news in the poll shows Clinton still strong actually going up a few points. Historic NY Jul 2015 #38

Looks like Hillary vs. Jeb jalan48 Jul 2015 #48

Hillary's VP will be next POTUS following her 8 years. DCBob Jul 2015 #49

Does this poll general election voters or primary/caucus voters? betterdemsonly Jul 2015 #51

Did you come up with all of that by yourself? Stellar Jul 2015 #77

I just vote how everyone else votes. Wait ... no I don't. GO BERNIE! GoneFishin Jul 2015 #53

HOW DID WEBB GET 3 PERCENT?!?!? bravenak Jul 2015 #55

There are many blacks in the military. n/t betterdemsonly Jul 2015 #58

Damn. Cannot believe he got 3 percent. I'm mad at that. bravenak Jul 2015 #66

Things do change though...consider Senator Obama in 2007... Stellar Jul 2015 #71
