For quite a while (even after she stopped being inevitable) I thought that Hillary would certainly be president. Now, however, I think that Obama will get it.

Whoever is the Dem nominee, I think they will win very easily over McCain. Actually, I think a 50-state sweep is possible. And what I'm very curious to see is this: If a black man were elected president, if his margin of victory were historically high, if an old white war hero were defeated by a young powerful black man ... would America still be considered a hopelessly racist country in which black folks were oppressed and not allowed to get ahead because all white folks hate all black folks?

Democrats being who they are, I'm pretty sure that the song would remain the same.

Obama is preferable because his opponent is coming to the end of a thirty-year plan to seize power and rule with an iron fist. There are literally thousands of regulators-in-waiting and judges-in-waiting, hand picked by Her Thighness, ready to overturn 220 years of Constitutional government and rule like Stalinists.

I have no illusions about Senator Obama - his ideas are every bit as bad as hers.

But he is not at the head of a revolutionary long-term project with international connections and thousands of ready-to-go commissars. She is.

If Obama is elected, powerful countervailing forces will oppose him and his own inexperience and probable incompetence will limit the damage. The President, alone, is not a dictator.

Hillary’s administration-in-waiting is a clear and present danger to the republic. Young Senator Obama, IMO, is not.

But more importantly, Clinton would make a better president than Obama.

Stupidest political analysis ever. Clintons do not make good anything. They are perpetual candidates. The day Hillary took the Whitehouse, the fundraising and pandering would begin. You can't say what a Clinton will do before they have done a focus group anyway. Barak may turn out to be a crook and he may not. We know Hillary is a crook.

Every pro-America American should do whatever it takes to keep the Clintons as far away from power as possible. We must fight them in the primaries, fight them in the general election,and God forbid she is elected, fight her everyday she is in office. It is unlikely that John McCain could beat even Hubert Humphrey; it is almost impossible to think he can beat his friend Hillary.

I am almost considering voting for Hillary in the primaries if the GOP race is over.

She must be stopped NOW! Can’t take the chance of it going any farther.

Clinton is the best candidate if you liked Lyndon Johnson. Obama is the best candidate if you liked Jimmy Carter.

One possibility: Obama is clearly the choice of the majority of Democrat voters prior to the convention, and a quiet deal is cut: Clinton steps side in return for the promise of a SC nomination.

"Why Republicans Should Root for Hillary Clinton Over Barack Obama"

Republicans should root for a conservative in their own party and not worry about which social/liberal the dims choose.

We have enough problem getting our "liberal leaders" out of the job of hand-picking our candidate for us.

Lastly, a conservative primary leader will pump all of us up and have a reason to get out and vote, not find reasons to stay home on election day.

No. We know exactly what Hillary will do, and it’s far more destructive than what Obama could manage.

As Jim Noble said in his post, Hillary has a prepared network of apparatchiks ready to roll, a pile of activist judges still indebted to Bill for their appointments, and many international socialist contacts from her time as ‘co-president.’

I guess a bunch of people have forgotten 1993-1994 and exactly how much damage Hill can do to the U.S. in a short period of time.

Even if Obama actually wins, he doesn’t have the power base to accomplish such ills. It would still be bad for him to win of course - he’s a liberal Democrat - but not nearly as bad as Hill.

In the meantime we should attend to our own primaries. That race isn’t over yet either.

"The longer the Democrats fight, the more vicious their battle will get. And the Democratic Party and nominee will be weaker for it going into November."

This MSM writer "begs the question."

I don't think any of them ever took a course in logic. Every editorial is a unending string of informal fallacies.

I fear Hillary in the White House more than Obama. Obama’s naivite, lack of real political experience and uncertain ability to lead a likely divided Democratic Party will make it less likely for him to successfully implement a leftist agenda. Hillary is an avowed leftist and Fabian socialist who who will ruthlessly pursue her agenda to march the US toward socialism.

His reasons for supporting Clinton is that she will be easier to beat. That’s very partisan thinking. My thinking, which is patriotic, not partisan, on the matter is that one of the two major party nominees will surely be President in Jan of 2009.

I would, therefore, like both of them to be the best their party has to offer. It’s too risky to say “lets hope the Dems nominate a criminal, scheming, lying, traitor who’s been involved in everything from taking campaign cash from hostile foreign intelligence organizations to covering up financial crime for decades ... because she will be easier to beat.

Bad plan. What happens when the 50-60% chance she wins takes place? She is POTUS. Not good.

Far better to support both candidates being somewhat reasonable, so that in the event your favored one doesn’t win you still have a patriotic and competent adult running things.

Hillary will be easier to beat because she is so polarizing. The majority of Americans are visceral non-thinkers. Obama has been good at dodging his voting record in both the U.S. Senate and in Illinois’ state congress, as well as his personal philosophy which is Marxist pragmatism. For many reasons, people will vote for Obama where they would come out and vote against Hillary. This latest surge for Obama is indeed scary.

There is never any reason to support Hillary Clinton.

None.
