Everyone knows if Hillary gets the nomination - Say hello to President McCain
Poll the democrats and see how many would vote for Hillary after she steals the nomination?

Ask the republicans how many voted for Hillary in the democratic primary to help get her the nomination?

Ask people who could beat McCain?

It is disgusting to watch this party spiral out of control. No wonder nothing can get done and we will be in Iraq for 100 years.

4. Obama has the young finally voting
Most of the McCain supporters will die or never get out of the nursing home for November elections

11. What an evil, grotesque thing to say.
The "new" politics of "Hope," my ass.

If this sort of thing continues and the party drags Obama over the finish line with super delegates, which he will need because he hasn't been able to make the sale to a majority of Democrats, then we will deserve the defeat the Republicans will hand us. The good news, though, is we won't be having our third stolen election, since the Republicans will be able to win fair and square if you are at all representative of The One's followers.

16. He's leading Hillary in every way. But more significantly...
Many of us, myself included realized before she even entered that race that she was going to run and that would be a disaster. This is a scenario I was hoping we could avoid - a Hillary candidacy. She can't win.

Now as far Obama goes, well it's great that not only can we avoid that disaster, but also elect someone who is bringing in a lot of new voters and will a force in the Fall.

24. Yeah, and maybe that's why it's time for the super delegates to start looking
Edited on Wed Mar-12-08 12:59 PM by Benhurst
around for a compromise candidate unlike our two "front runners" who will be able to attract more than a minority of Democrats, to say nothing of Republicans as well.

6. Thank you, NYCALIZ, for expressing what so many of us are thinking.
You'd better put on your asbestos suit. The thought-control police are working overtime.

19. Agree
McCain secured the Presidency on March 4th, 2008.
Having resigned to this outcome, I'm alot less stressed.
2000 - anger
2004 - shock and disappointment
2008 - resignation

8. Wasn't this always the case?
I knew she would lose a presidential election --- against anybody --- before she even announced.

10. Our nominee will either enter the GE as damaged goods...
and/or without turnout-level support from a good portion of the base.

18. Why haven't they done it in the 40+ "election days" we've had already?

If anything... people are MORE likely to vote in November than in Feb/Mar.

22. I'm tired of that stupid stereotype.
Edited on Wed Mar-12-08 12:51 PM by totodeinhere
Obama's supporters come from a very broad based demographic. And when I stop at Starbucks here in Elko many of the customers are miners in dirty work clothes with hard hats.

23. If there is polling data that backs up any of your assertions
You really should post links to it.

Otherwise, this is just flame bait.
