Hillary's Chief Talent
Making people detest her. She's at it again with her lying and distorting and her transparent phony outrage. The only politician more hated than Hill is bush. Perfect pair. And no, it's not just Obama supporters on DU. I've said it before: Likability counts. A lot. On the outside chance that she's the nominee, McCain will win the likability contest hands down. She may beat him..... or not. The catastrophic economy gives any dem, even hill, the worst campaigner in recent memory a chance.

If her devoted followers here think that her behavior is a plus for her with SDs, think again. They've been avoiding typhoid hill and her diseased campaign like the plague. She has done nothing of late but deploy nasty and screechy attacks on Barack. She hasn't talked about issues in PA. She's talked about how awful and uppity her opponent is. She's playing to the worst in human nature.

Every other time Madame Entitled has pulled one of her dishonest attacks on Obama, his numbers have gone down- but heir's have gone down with his.

She'll win PA, but she still won't win the nomination. And she'll be even more loathed than she was when she entered the race. Quite an accomplishment for Hillary Dearest.

1. Don't count on her winning PA.
The undecided electorate are starting to make up their minds.

2. nah. she'll win PA
and she's getting massive help from the media. They want this thing to go on as long as possible, but in the end, she's simply driving her numbers down even further.

11. I'll have to see what happens tomorrow night when they face off.
Obama could show up with a wooden stake and end this thing.

Cross your fingers.

22. She'll win PA, just like in Ohio. Both those states are filled to the brim
with bitter, bitter folks. Spent some time traveling in those states a couple of years ago, and couldn't get over how many people with shitty attitudes there were from all walks of life. Must be the crappy weather or something.

FWIW, both those states are losing populations in droves. Wonder why?

6. paraddoxes exist everywhere
her favorabilities continue to go down. She won Ohio in the face of sinking favorability ratings. Why? People have other considerations. In Ohio many people said that race was important. They voted for Hillary. She played the fear card in both TX and OH. And it's nationally among all voters that her favorability ratings are falling. Rendell, if you'll remember, said that many PA voters simply won't vote for a black person. That stuff does come into play. duh.

8. She'll win
The media will say Obama needs to reconfigure his strategy.

Clinton fans will think she still has a chance.

She'll get her ass handed to her in North Carolina which will effectively cripple her candidacy since she needs to win every contest from her out by 20.

The media will ignore this.

Clinton fans will think she still has a chance.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

26. Yup. This is how it will play out.
Media will completely ignore that she needs to win PA by over 20 points.

A one vote win in PA by Obama and it's all over. A one vote win by Hillary - OMG she's turning it around!

9. cali, you sound very bitter and I feel empathy for you
You do not speak for me or the millions of Americans that have voted for her. That said, I would have expected more of a bipartisanship from you then most of the Obama supporters because your posting style seems more appealing to intellectual appreciation.

10. * is a buffoon. I would compare her to Cheney and even then
she comes out on top. With his "so" comment showcasing his utter disdain for the American people, he is a close second.

13. His "so" comment to her "latte liberal, boutique states" not counting.
She's a train wreck for our party, and the country. If by the slimmest chance she gets in - it will be a bitter battle in the house to get anything past, and we won't pick up the seats we need for a super majority because Hill Haters will turn out in record numbers to vote against her.

But we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

25. yes, yes, of course you agree
and you're entirely objective. That's why you evidently don't have any problem with hillfans calling him Obigot and snake oil saleman. Spare me from such bullshit.
