I think that Hillary is beatable, Obama maybe not. I want to see Hillary as the nominee.

I was just advocating this strategy in an email to a friend last night. Republicans should vote in the Dem primary and vote Hillary.

I second that idea. Hildabeast would be better than Obama.

I despise the clintons so much I’m thinking about switching for the Pennsylvania primary to vote against hillary. The clintons have the machine in place, I think osama/obama would be overwhelmed and would be able to be molded to a degree..

If I were to engage in a “who is easier to beat” analysis, I’d have to consider that Hillary is much stronger in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania than Obama. She beat him by 18 points in Florida and leads by 20 in the polls in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Those are obviously crucial swing states.

So it’s great for Obama that independents in Utah and Idaho prefer him to Hillary, but those states aren’t going to be in play on election day- Ohio and Pennsylvania will.

I’m leaning to vote for Obama.

The strategy is to defeat her, if we fail in the primaries,
we’ll get another chance in the general.

That gives us two chances versus one.

While I agree that Hillary is likely more vulnerable in the General Election - Obama is charismatic in a Leftist sort of way - I cannot bear the thought of Clinton II. That IMO would be a real disaster!

Maybe follow JimRob's suggestion and vote for Huck as a way of denying McCain?

I’m very likely to cross over and vote for the Hildebeast. She has a lot of baggage and very high negatives going into November.
