Senator Obama will be beatable in a general election because if Senator Clinton loses, she has to make sure Obama loses the general election or else she cannot run again until 2016. She will do anything she can to submarine him.
LOL!!! Yes, we need to get the number into McCain territory!
And how many Republicans on this forum doubt the electability of John McCain? A whole lot more than 20% I'd be willing to bet.
Let’s see where we’re at after the MSM does the usual ritual disembowelment of the GOP candidate.
McThusalah is more vulnerable to this then most GOP candidates, given the fact that he doesn’t, to put it delicately, enjoy fervent support from the base.
His base of support are moderate Republicans and independents, who are easily distracted by bright shiny objects...like the one kicking the crap out of Clinton these last few weeks.
So how many republicans doubt the electability of McQueeg or Huck?
Looking at the numbers last night wasn’t real impressive. Hillary was losing with more votes than McCain was winning with.
Baaarack is dumb as a post and cannot answer constitutional questions correctly. If something happens to his telepromter he starts babbling.
I was thinking your exact comment as I read the headline.
Although I agree. I don’t think Clinton’s electable, or Obama. I consider the Obama-worshippers to be a bit like that babe who sang the Youtube thing “I Love Obama”.
They love the fellow but like that singing Youtube wannabe, they don’t generally bother to vote. The love will fade through the long, hot summer, I predict.
We all see how quick they dumped Hillary when somebody, anybody, else was available. So too when up against a pubbie, that is anybody but McCain, the populace just doesn’t like the woman...this is no surprise.
And somebody upthread said something about The Hill not supporting Obama, should he get the nod, that she may have another shot in four years. Which is a good point.
But not mentioned in the headline is my ingrained belief that McCain can’t win either.
so what the hey? We got three candidates running and NONE OF THEM CAN WIN?
Heh.
These two political parties need to seriously overhaul their primary process as the result does not reflect the will of the people in any fashion. This without the mess that will be the Dem convention.
And eighty percent of conservatives doubt the electability of McCain.
McCain HAS to be elected and if the pouting people stay home, then the same thing will occur that let the Clintons into office in the first place. Take heed and don’t pout.
They may doubt it but you can bet they will be there voting for it.
If Huck is the nominee, there will be less visual differences, but the media and the 'Rats will go absolutely ape$heet over his religious background ("Do you really want an evangelical creationist leading the country?"). If he's our nominee, I'll support him, but I have a feeling he'll be lucky to carry a few southern states at best, while Obama will pile up 400+ electoral votes elsewhere.
Older people are the most reliable to turn out to vote, and I don’t see Obama winning anywhere close to a majority of this group. Older men, especially. They’ll vote for the war hero. Unless McCain pulls a Dole and falls of the stage, this election will be a close one. Too much is at stake and obama is an extreme leftist out of touch with 85% of the electorate.
you write: And eighty percent of conservatives doubt the electability of McCain.
Care to support that statement about 80%?
There are not many more conservative than me & my family, but we will vote for McCain. We understand & appreciate the necessity of winning this November. I have two sons in the United States military and I don’t want them answering to a President Obama or Clinton and I ask your help in making sure they don’t have to....
Thank you and your sons for your service to our country.
You write: obama is an extreme leftist out of touch with 85% of the electorate.
How do you know that? Nobody in the press has bothered to ask him to be specific about anything, and his positions on almost everything are artfully vague to date....
And what do polls say about an Obama-Hillary or Hillary-Obama ticket?
Thank you. 1 US Marines & 1 US Air Force.
