Vote Obama? Are you insane? Vote Hillary, she’s the weaker of the two. One of them will be running against McCain eventually, did you forget?
PS Are you a DU spy?
I’m with you, mad10 — get Hilary in there.
Either way, this thing has to go to the convention with a nasty fight. The last thing we want now is a clear winner.
Plus there are at least 20% of the Democrats who will not ever under any circumstances vote for a black candidate.
A vote for Obama is a vote for the weakest candidate, and for the candidate who will draw the fewest Democrat voters in the General election next Fall.
You’re the one that’s nuts if you think the Clintons are weaker than a political novice. He may be flying high NOW, but it’s a long way to November-and there are a lot of people who won’t vote for a black-regardless of what they tell polsters. But there are a TON of women who would vote for the Clintons. Do the math. Blacks-13% of population. Women-51% of population. Add to the women the spanish (including illegals), the meterosexual males, the men (and women) who want to give Bill a third term,voting fraud, etc; and you’re asking for disaster. And that ‘go to DU because you don’t think like me’ is getting old and childish. There should be room for disagreement here without getting insulting about it. A lot of you have forgotten the 90s, apparently. I, for one, am still filled with a burning unbridled hatred for these two slimy ba$tards, and I want them to have the least chance possible to soil the White House again. Because if they get back, we’re going to have them for eight more years. I personally couldn’t take it-my blood pressure alone would kill me.
Open primaries GAVE us McCain.
Time for a little payback.
I’ve been here since 2001 under this screen name and another year before that under another. I think my post history indicates that I’m not a DU spy.
With that out of the way, please let me say that I agree with the topic starter. Take out Hillary once and for all.
The idea of one candidate or another being “weaker” is a dangerous game. A candidate that looks weak in February can look pretty formidable in September, and vice versa.
Also, if Hillary gets the nomination and wins (shudder), we get up to eight years of Clintonism again. Obama is dangerous but its naive to think he’s less dangerous than Hillary and Bill. The only thing that kept Bill in check last time was a GOP congress led by Newt Gingrich. We won’t see that again.
Furthermore, under the very polls that people use to claim that Obama is the “stronger” candidate, we see that a Clinton-McCain race is still effectively too close to call. So by nominating Hillary you are putting her and Bill all that closer to at least a 50/50 shot at the WH.
Finally, if Hillary gets the nomination and loses, Obama will be the frontrunner for 2012, running against a very old John McCain (or his VP). He will probably win. So we will get a President Obama four years later.
Bottom line: take her out now.
Nominate Obama and the odds are he'll win. If that happens, it won't be long before you'd be wishing we had a president Clinton again.
‘..Vote Obama? Are you insane?...’
Thank you! It’s driving ME insane to hear Republicans and TV people like Hannity constantly bash Hillary and, thus, helping Obama. Hillary is scary but Obama is much more scary and, moreover, imho, McCain may have a chance against Hillary but I doubt he’ll make it against Obama.
What is wrong with the American people?? Some are asleep and oblivious, others are willing to swallow,without question, the socialist drivel spouted by the Dems....it may be too late when people finally wake up. God help America.
Besides, if Hillary! is close enough to Obama’s total, she split the Democrat part and pull it down - wooohooo!
Vote Obama? Are you insane?
+++++++++++++++++
The Clinton’s have to be crushed and crushed so big that they’ll never try again. After voting for Obama in the primary simply vote for McCain in the general...no damage done except to Hillary. Once independents and moderates take a good in depth view of Obama I’m confident that his magic will start wearing off. He’s way too shallow, too far left, hasn’t done anything, hasn’t been responsible for anything and is too naive to lead effectively. He’s a good orator, as were many of the world’s worst politicians and even listening to him over and over and over is getting tiresome and missing substance. Some Hillary supporters are such fanatics that they’ll either stay home or vote for McCain.
Let Obama crush her without challenge. There will be plenty of opportunities to expose him in the general
