Convince this Obama supporter that nominee/president Hillary will do more than her husband |

did about winning house, senate, and gubernatorial seats.
Convince me that under a Hillary nomination (and presidency) we won't see similar Democratic losses in Congress.

2. We recently picked up Hastert's seat following heavy ads featuring Obama; also, |
|
refer yourself to the '06 midterms, where every dem and their mother had Obama speak and fundraise for them.

4. Past performance and all that..... |
|
I don't think he's the pristine guy he once was. And Haster'ts seat was a local seat....hardly comparable to nationwide results.

6. Yeah, if Obama is elected it will be by the narrowest of margins - and he will |
|
not have coattails... and will only lose support through his term in office.
Bill was at least elected to a second term. Obama ---- very doubtful.

9. Riddle me this.. why do Hillary supporters |
|
always answer a question.. even the simple ones.. with another question. It's like the nananapoopoo silly argumentative tactics of 2nd graders. It's really a curious phenomenon.

11. There was nothing Obama about the question. Take a look. |

It's pretty clear he/she was asking... what would Hillary do differently so as to not lose Congress - just like Bill did? That's not a false premise at all... it's a real concern validated by fact.
Now I doubt anyone has the answer what Hillary would do differently... and Hillary certainly hasn't been campaigning on the length of her coattails... but still it's a legitimate question and a lingering unanswered question at that.

13. Why would it be an issue to Obama supporters, unless the OP believes that |
|
Obama won't suffer the same fate as Bill?

15. Even if my premise is false (which it isn't), why not answer my question? |
|
Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 02:42 PM by Unsane
I would be more likely to support Hillary should I believe she wouldn't kill our majority.

14. remember Newt's "republican revolution" and contract with america....that was thanks to Bill |
|
with another Clinton in office, we can be assured that the reich wing would get motivated and take over for another 12 years.
