GOP Root For Hillary Win (2/18) |
|
Republican leaders are banking on a Hillary nominee to jolt their constituents into action:"There is no doubt about it," said John Becker, a Clermont County Republican who represents much of southern Ohio on the Ohio Republican Party Central Committee. "There is nobody who can consolidate and energize the Republican Party like Hillary Clinton. It will get the people out and the money will flow." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/17/ohio-primary-latest-news_n_86925.html">link

1. Along with Reports I have read and heard that RW Hate Talkers |
|
are encouraging Republicans to vote in all open Primaries. Vote for Barak Obama.
Republicans including John McCain believe Obama is the best candidate for them to face in the fall. He is the easiest to contrast from Left vs Right. He is the easiest for them to make the case that Democrats are weak on Foreign Policy and marters of war and Terrorism.
This was discussed on Sunday am Talk shows. I am repeating what was discussed.

2. That's exactly the opposite of what I've been hearing from the pundits. |
|
They all say the only thing that will unify the Republican Party around McCain is a Hillary Clinton candidacy.

3. So far the republican BS isn't coordinated. |
|
The people in the know think Hillary is more beatable. Still, there doesn't seem to be a consensus. Polls give you the true answer. Hillary is an anchor on the Democratic ticket.

4. Anyone Who Is Honest... |
|
Knows that Hillary would galvanize the repubs. They know she's their only hope to keep the WH.

12. "He is the easiest to contrast from Left vs Right" |
|
THAT'S certainly the truth. There's nary a hair's breadth difference between McCain and Clinton.

6. Yeah? And we're all supposed to shrivel up and die because of what the Repubs threaten? |
|
That's why we're in this F'ing mess to begin with, fear of the Repubs.
It's time to turn the page.

A conversation amongst 6 teachers in Virginia (my son was one of them)and told me this: "If Clinton gets the nomination they are all voting for McCain, but if Obama gets it they will vote for Obama." These were all Democrats not repubs or pundits or strategists.
It is time to turn the page for change not only in the WH but in our party.

7. Then why are various Rethug talking heads constantly praising Obama? You'd think they'd be trying |
|
to derail his campaign in the nomination stage to ensure that the supposed weaker candidate, Hillary Clinton, is the nominee in November. If they're so scared of Obama, they're not acting like it.
