Today’s ARG pol, posted on Drudge, shows Obama with a six point lead over Madama Clinton, 48-42. I have no idea as to its validity, etc.
rumor perhaps but this was direct from someone in the GOP
Remember to refer to the Democrats’ choice as the the woman’s candidate vs. the minority candidate. It quietly frustrates my Democrat friends.
“Soooo.... Are you supporting the womens’ candidate or the minority candidate this year?”
“Sooo.... Do you think it will be a real blow to women if this race goes to the minority candidate? It seemed like women were so close...”
“Sooo.... Minorities have a real good candidate this year. Do you think they are going to be alienated if white women take over the party?”
Of course, there really isn’t any reason other than race, gender and hatred of the Republicans to vote for either of them. My friends have no response so their irritation doesn’t really have any sensible outlet.
Since I tend to value my friendships over my preferences in Republican/Democrat politics, I usually have to avoid political discussion with my partisan friends. This strategy, however, doesn’t seem to make anybody mad at me and gives me hours of quiet enjoyment.
I ask if they are voting by gender or race.
Shillery is only 58 behind. Obama isn’t going to make it. The white guys who comprise most of the super delegates will tahe Hillary over the top. FL and MI will come into play too.
Now this will piss of the Black Democrats but the Democrats are going to court Hispanics now and throw the Blacks overboard.
