'08 Poll: Hillary Rodham Clinton vs. John McCain

[dhinojosa]

Just curious, I just want to see how you feel. Hillary Rodham Clinton vs. John McCain

[StopTheMorans]

1. holy shit

:popcorn:

[cdb]

2. No Hillary please....

I do not think she would be palatable to the sheeple. That would be a certain loss. Name recognition aside, she has no chance. Go ahead. Shoot me.

[justinsb]

3. Doesn't look good for hillary

If, even amoung DUers she's losing 1/3 of the vote to other candidates.

[karynnj]

36. Agree

If the DU McCain votes are genuine and not just so Hillary wouldn't get them. DU is more to the left than the Democrats as a whole, if McCain has support here, he will have at least as much support in the middle among independents. I bet many of those saying 3rd party would be swayed to Hillary if the match really occurred and was close. This will definitely be true if there are still likely SC positions to fill.

I do agree that McCain's problem will be the primaries. It may be Hilary's too, but there may be enough Clinton can win people whipped up by her husband and his supporters. I think all this hype is to starve lesser known candidates.

[GreenArrow]

4. thumbscrews

or bamboo shoots.

[HockeyMom]

5. Looks like both bases will stay home with this match up

Freepers DESPISE McCain. Many have said they will not vote at all if he runs. If this does become the match up, and I think it will be, it looks like the "middle" will decide the next election, neither base.

I am disappointed with Hillary, but she is still the better choice of the two. I could never vote for McCain after all the ass kissing he did for Bush.

[justinsb]

7. If you're right, it'll be McCain

"the Middle" may be sick of Bush, but they are still concerned about security and when you match McCain, the war hero - against Hillary, the ex-hippie - my guess is that the middle will pick McCain

[HockeyMom]

17. I didn't want to say that,

but I agree.

[rhett o rick]

37. I agree with you. McCain kissed Bush's ass and Hillary voted for the

IWar. But this match-up will never happen, for the reason u mentioned. The Reich has control of the Repub Party and i don't see that changing. Remember what happened to McCain when he dared run against Bush for the nomination? He was slaughtered. He is still wincing. Probably why he kissed * ass.

[Lost4words]

6. I wont vote for any DLC member, n/t

[RedstDem]

8. Damn You For Pitting Those Two Together

Their Would Be A Huge Sucking Sound From Both Of Their Campaigns
But I'd Have To Go For The Lesser Of Two Evils & Vote For Hill

Hate To Say, But, McCain Would Win. {ina landslide}

[Liberal Ohioan]

9. Dean all the way

[dhinojosa]

24. Dean?

What poll are you looking at? :rofl:

[Imagevision]

10. Nah! --> Hackett VS. anyone they come with!!

[DrFunkenstein]

11. I Predict This Will Be The Match-Up

Both have amazing political instincts, an ability to react quickly yet plan far ahead, and represent "moderation" at I time when (I predict) people will tire of partisan bickering. McCain has a bit of an edge as far as not wearing his calculations on his sleeve (and drawing grudging respect from liberals), but Clinton has the novelty of being a woman with a real chance at winning.

I think it will be a hell of a fight.

[FrenchieCat]

14. Both have good press for the time being.....

Hillary; cause the they want her as the opponent in 2008.
McCain; cause they've got to make it up to the guy after standing by and letting Bush smear and destroy him during the 2000 primaries...

Bottomline is this is THE media's race as it stands today.

The question is, does the media have enough power to influence the race as we get closer to the finish line and make it all come true?

or will the media back a Hillary run, but pull out on a McCain run to do their masters' bidding?

We'll soon find out, now won't we?

[HughBeaumont]

12. Shillary better not be our candidate.

If you had the choice between DLC/Repuke Lite and Repuke, the fence-sitters are picking the Repuke. Look for 220 EVs MAX. Duh-High-Ah and Flah-Duh would instantly be Diebolded to Fatass Jeb and we'll officially have 28 YEARS of a Bush of some species in office. Them Bubbuhs ain't a'votin for some damned FEEEEmale, especially not one named CLINTON.

End the dynasties already and focus on 2006 first.

[dhinojosa]

27. Shillary? Etu Brute? nt?

[kenny blankenship]

13. Who would win you mean? John McCain could beat Hillary from his deathbed

[AlGore-08.com]

15. Ding! Ding! Ding!

He could beat her on his death bed, even if his last act was a sacrificing puppies to Satan while French kissing a goat.

Book it.

[Timmy5835]

16. STOP the fantasies

Hillary only has support from the DLC or GOP lite. Liberals and Progressives can't stand her. The far right who controls the GOP hates McCain. Your match up is HIGHLY unlikely.

[dhinojosa]

25. So are you saying the Liberals and Progressive will vote for McCain?

:shrug:

[kenny blankenship]

29. It's not my match up, it's the one proposed by the OP

I would vote for Hillary (my last vote for a Democrat ever, I suppose) but it would be a pointless gesture--doubly pointless since, A) I live in Georgia and Hillary Clinton is more likely to be lynched in GA than elected by Georgians to dog catcher, much less President; and B) John McCain would wipe the floor with her nationally.

[LSK]

18. will never ever vote Republican

Especially a spinless suckup like McCain.

[GoBruins]

19. Interesting match-up

This would be an interesting election if these were the 2 candidates we had to choose from, LOL. I wonder what the turn-out would be since so many people seem willing to sit this one out or write in if these were the two final candidates. Anyway I chose Hilary of course. I don't agree with all of her policies but I like her enough. Besides it would be awesome to have Bill Clinton in the office again.

[newyawker99]

38. Hi GoBruins!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[WI_DEM]

20. 14% would vote for McCain?

He is one of the biggest supporters of the war. And pretty damn conservative overall.

[lojasmo]

21. Hillary's another big supporter of the war

And acting pretty conservative, to boot.

This match up would be decided by the VP for me.

Of course I've vowed not to vote for Hillary, so....

I'd probably vote green in this scenario.

[MintOreoCookie]

22. While I voted for Hillary

I do not want her to be the democratic nominee. She rubs me the wrong way. Regardless of who the democratic nominee is, I will be voting for the democrat.

[Rainscents]

23. Do we have FLEEPERS here on DU voting for McCain???

:wtf:

[dhinojosa]

26. Probably not, this is exactly what I thought would happen on DU

Democrats here would vote for McCain instead of Hillary. I wouldn't, but people would.

[IndianaGreen]

28. Hillary v. McCain? No contest!

Hillary! McCain has been a Bush shill for quite sometime. No way I would vote for him.

[dhinojosa]

31. I am asking to force all the Hillary haters to stew over this one...

heheh, because I am EVIL! :)

[Caleb]

30. What if it's Hillary vs. Jeb

Would these Hillary-haters still not vote for her?

[Nothing Without Hope]

32. Please, please, NO HILLARY. And McCain is awful. n/t

[dhinojosa]

34. I don't care!!! You have to vote!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Cmon..that's the fun of it...It November 2008, you are at the ballot box. What will it be?

[paineinthearse]
