This is a big question in my circle of friends right now. Would we rather see Hillary or Obama on the November ballot? Given that the Wisconsin primary could be very important nationally, especially if Obama wins most of the primaries and caucus before feb 19. If he gets the momentum from Wash, La, Va, DC and Maryland, a win in Wisc could be a final straw in the beast's campaign. I think I would rather see her than Obama. Thoughts anyone?

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 and most Republicans I know hate Hillary much more than Obama. So do many prominent ones- you can tell Rush Limbaugh greatly prefers him.

And I don’t care enough about John McCain to engage in any analysis of which candidate would be easier for him to beat. Let him win his own election- I’d vote for Obama over Hillary just based on who I hate more- Hillary.

Let’s face it - they both have exceedingly bad ideas about what should be done with the country—Obama might even be a bit worse than the Beast. However, I think he would be easier to oppose and would get less enacted. She’s got the machine already in place (and those FBI files as well)

Bo Jangles vs. Herself, the Cold and Joyless.

A political race made in Hades.

Herself never had time to assemble an FBI file on Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., such as exists for John McCain, so obviously, there is less ammunition to use in the “opposition research”. In that event, fortify the most defenseless (i.e., McCain), by taking sides with the less contaminated of the two rivals, protected by his aura of invincibility.

The Magic Negro deserves your support at this early stage.

And who knows? If McCain loses anyway, Obama, like Harry Truman, may grow into the job. Herself never would.

Except for Duncan Hunter, all of the others in both parties work for our prevailing US business: overseas manufacturers and imports.

That said, Hillary is the one who is being installed into office as a gift to our bosses’ spoiled, domineering wives. All of the private affairs of your families will belong to them.

They defeated Hunter early on, because he would raise the price of freight fuel by closing Iran’s nuclear facilities. If you want to interfere with the plans of the establishment mad this late in the game, vote for Obama. He’s a “male,” and he’s clueless. He might mess things up for them (or be yet another puppet of theirs to blend our economics with those of the Third World).

Which would you rather see: another Carter in office, or a Hillary with an army of social weirdos with axes to grind against everyone else?

Personally, I would like to see the Clintons expunged from national politics for all time. Let Hillary live out her days commuting between Chappaqua and D.C. If she becomes the Democrat nominee, you never know what could happen. I’d rather her be stopped before she gets that far, to be sure.

Put the stake in Clintonism. Heres my opinion on who is easier to beat.. Obama

Heres my reasons:

1) Hispanics and Asians are much less likely to vote for Obama than Hitlery, there is REAL racial animosity barely below the surface that the Media will never report. Hispanic support is a key pillar of Democrapian support.
2) Obama is a blank slate, just waiting to be written on. Dukakis, not even as unknown as Obama, dropped almost 30 points in a month, only to recover slightly before the election.
3) The Hussein factor-- This could be exploited big time, and will be, by somebody

And this doesnt even mention inexperience or hyper liberalism. The lines will be drawn and the longer this goes on, the worst for him. McCain is a crappy candidate himself, but hes not an unknown.

End the Hitlery curse, once and for all! (not to mention the pleasure we'll get from Hillary going ballistic and taking it out on Bill)

I wish I hadn’t mailed my ballot the day Romney dropped out. I would have switched my vote to Hillary for two reasons:

1. Obama if he is the Democrat nominee in November, will win.
2. Hillary is at least better in regards to National Security than Obama (not necessarily by much, but its enough of a difference in my mind).

Republicans, vote for Hillary in the Wisconsin Primary!

Yes, you should vote for Hillary. Also, since it’s the Democrat primary, you’re allowed to vote more than once. Cast as many votes for her as you can.

I’d definitely vote for Obama and rid the stage of the Clintons NOW. Lord knows how much dirt and pull they have on the super delegates. If she were the nominee I doubt we’d win fair and square as they have a way to insure not all votes are counted. Our only chance to be rid of them is now.

My judgment hasn’t been so good this year in the primaries- but I’d rather we go against hillary. I think we CAN beat her. Obama and McCain BOTH appeal to independents- in that race- I expect most of them would go to Obama. If I were casting a strategic vote- I’d go with Mrs. Bill Clinton.

I detest Hillary- but Obama scares me. Really.

I don’t recall. Didn’t Wisconsin deliver electoral votes to Kerry in 2004? Giving the same votes to the Democrat in 2008 doesn’t sound like doesn’t sound like a sway to me.

At this point, I think your vote for H would upset liberals more than a vote for Obama. So--go forth and make mischief!

After all, that's how we got stuck with McKook.

I think it’s a dangerous game to try and support another party’s candidate in the hope you pick the one that’s easier to beat.

First off, a lot can happen between now and November. A candidate that seems hard to beat can screw up something we didn’t expect. Conversely, the media can do a lot to rehabilitate any Dem in the general election.

Furthermore, I think this is an especially dangerous game to be playing when one of the candidates is a Clinton. In my mind, the best thing we can do for the country is anything that keeps her family out of power.

I say vote for Obama.

Who you vote for is irrelevant. The only Obama is in the race (although he is too clueless to realize it) is to provide some token opposition to Hillary. The moderates who would have had a chance at beating her were disposed of early. The Hillary-MSM machine will go on to win the general easily.

Quite the game of politics. It’s so no win and apparently hopeless all the way around that one loses sight of the stakes.

People think that McCain is as liberal and can do just as much damage to the country as either of these two.

That may be true, but I seriously doubt that.

We’re virtually guaranteed that none of the 3 will be great...but it’s VERY unlikely the two hypocrats will even be remotely good for the country.

The party AND the country COULD be damaged by McCain.

But the OVERWHELMING issue in my mind is which candidate will harm the country MOST and which will not only damage the party but very well may set it back if not deal it AND conservatism a permanent death blow and that is CLEARLY Clinton.

She knows EXACTLY what she has in mind from stripping the military to gay rights crammed down parents throats in govt schools to MANDATORY healthcare...as close to the soviet union as imagineable...and with a hypocrat congress she’ll do UNTOLD decades long and permanent damage.

The clearest choice is to beat her as early as we can! Eliminate the very worst choice early, because we simply don’t HAVE A GOOD CHOICE!

VOTE for no one at all or Obamanation of Islam if you must vote!
