bah.. after Clinton wins the nomination, this ‘base of voters’ will fall back in line...
Hillary’s people will run a plurality campaign, like her husband did or at worst, a 50% + 1 campaign, like Kerry did. They already 45% negative regardless so they need to make sure that the reliable 42% of the kool aid drinkers show up in her favor and she gets some people that wouldn’t normally vote, like she did up here in NH. She got the “FDR fossils” and the “Disaffected and Angry White Single Moms” who have been ignored because they don’t fall under the popular “Security Moms”, “NASCAR Dads”, “Soccer Moms”, “Angry White Male”, “Evangelical” groups (all married) that have been deciders in the past.
By dissing Barack, she will piss off people in that 42% that are tired of hating and want a little more positive energy in the public realm.
It’s all guesswork anyways.
