Evan Bayh, a conservative democrat has endorsed Hillary |
|
Edited on Thu Sep-27-07 12:08 PM by thegreatcause2
This is so she will have an ally when she swings to the right during the general election. Hillary can swivel with the best of them. Hillary's fealty to corporate America is what scares me. She will promise everything to everybody; and then in the end, she will kneel to corporations and say,"what is thy bidding my masters"?

I don't get it. Why are people so preoccupied with what party someone is in. If that person isn't living up to your values fuck them. Bayh votes too often with the Republicans especially on the things that matter most to me.

6. I am voting for Hillary |
|
It is just out of duty to what is best for me and my family and not out of hope for what Hillary may do. She is better than the Republican flavors offered.

9. I don't know how many primaries you've watched, but |
|
all candidates, after winning the primary, swing to the left or right.
To win the primary the candidate has to appeal to his/her base who are about the only ones who actually vote. So that means s/he swing s left or right. Then, to win the general, s/he swings back to the middle. Remember dumbya? Poppy? Pres. Clinton? St. Raygun? Each swung back to the middle after winning the primary. For better or worse that's the way the system (crappy, I admit it) works.
Full disclosure: I really have no say in the primary. By the time it gets to my state it's usually all over. To show solidarity I always vote for the Dem who's already got it locked up.

Wes Clark, Wellington Webb, Rep. Tammy Baldwin (Madison, WI), Joe Wilson, Maya Angelou, Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee among others have endorsed her--all hoping she will "swing to the right" in the general election.

8. my hunch and I think a great many others I've seen is that Wes Clark is more likely |
|
She can't win Indiana with Bayh and having Bayh adds nothing, but adding Clark does add a great deal.
