They Should both Run Against McCain Now, Not Each Other

[PuppyBismark]

If we assume the real goal is to elect a Democratic president, then both Clinton and Obama should start running against McCain now. Let the voters judge who will be the best to beat Bomb-Bomb and that should be the one nominated. Nothing is gained by a negative attack against a Democratic candidate. Our two qualified candidates should hold a summit and show that the goal is get rid of the current party in congress and the white house. They should pledge to start campaigning as if they were the nominee and want to win the white house. They should show country is more important than being president.

The free media coverage will likewise be to our benefit.

1. That sounds good to me...

I think it's a great idea.

2. No. Obama has to go nuclear on Hillary, apparently, to look tough.

3. LOL you think Hillary cares about running against McCain? She's out to destroy the party

she's got better things to do than win the GE.

4. Oh, please, cut it out.

That's really insulting to at least half the Democrats in the country who support her.

6. Clinton insulted many Obama voters when she mocked him in RI. In effect,

she ridiculed them with the "celestial" remarks.

8. Hillary insulted me over and over--she told me I didn't count (in Nebraska), she

had her surrogates call me a latte-sipping Prius-driving elite wuss, and she mocked my support of Obama as though I were a silly worshiper instead of a discerning, informed voter. Sorry, I think SHE'S the one who insults the voters.

5. That would be the way to go.

I know it pisses of Hillary Supporters when delegate math is used, but the fact is, using the methodology you speak of makes far more sense considering her chances at this point.

7. Tell that to Hillary

she's not running against McCain, she's praising him.
