Poll question: Do you think the minority candidates will start going more negative on Hillary in desperation?
Edited on Thu Oct-04-07 06:09 PM by calteacherguy
Or, realizing that Hillary is the all but inevitable nominee, will they do what is best for the Party and be civil towards her?

1. Hillary is inevitable based on what exactly?
False national polls that are taken out of context?

2. Are you surprized the minority candidates aren't asking for some motherf*cking Iced tea?
The minority candidates will probably behave the same way towards her as the white male American ones.

3. Candidates are already taking gentle swipes at each other.
Part of the parsing process.

5. "minority candidates"?
:eyes:
Who is a "minority" candidate? Sounds somewhat racist in the phrasing......
:wtf:

I find it somewhat laughable that people are so anxious to claim HRC getting the nom is "inevitable"

good grief - as I recall Dr Dean was also sitting pretty until Iowa.....

11. It's an appropriate term.
More than half of Democrats have concluded Hillary Clinton is the best choice.

10. So THIS is how the polling is done -- loaded questions. Instead of
Do you think those not in the "Top Three Tier" will start going more negative on those who are?

It's

Do you think the minority candidates will start going more negative on Hillary in desperation?


So if I were to respond to the poll regardless of which response I chose, I would be "saying" that I've accepted that Hillary will definitely become the nominee"

Not gonna bite.

14. I didn't
And while I don't believe Hillary is inevitable now, I do believe she is the most likely survivor.

In answer to the OP, not only will they continue attacking Hillary, they will start attacking each other more.

"If hillary clinton wins the Democratic/Republican nomination for president would you definitely vote for him/her in the general election for president in 2008, would you consider voting for him/her or would you definitely not vote for him/her?"

..............Definitely..Would....Definitely
