I couldn't make up my mind until now: Hillary or Obama?
I truly think that Hillary would make the better candidate. BUT, she is losing. And, I think that, if she continues, she will lose our party the General Election.

So, I am voting for Obama. Because I know that we HAVE to win the Presidency this time. We will not survive as a nation, if we don't.

2. Logical flaw:
if she's like this now, how is she in any way a better candidate? The primary campaign she's run has pretty well exploded that idea, I'd say.

11. that probably also explains the high number of Hillary voters who
say they won't vote for Obama in the GE. They're Republicans just causing mischief like OH & TX. I feel better now.

5. Even Fox News showed a projected electoral college map vs. McCain for both Dem candidates....
Edited on Tue Mar-11-08 07:56 PM by Roland99
Hillary was destroyed by McCain in projections and Obama won comfortably.

Too many people forget there is a huge built-in bias nationwide against Hillary for her simply being her (and, actually, that ends up being a good thing for America).

12. surneyusa.com shows both Obama and Clinton beating McCain
but there too Obama wins by a larger margin, and to my reading has far better coattails as far as the congressional (both house and Senate) elections

7. it's been difficult for a lot of people....
fortunately for me, I was always ABC. Went from Kucinich >>> Edwards >>> Obama. Like the overwhelming majority of primary voters in MS, I have problems with the "honesty" thing. Can't put my finger on it, but she has always struck me as hyper-secretive.

NBC just showed Obama-60% to Clinton-38%. What does it mean if she doesn't hit 40%?
