TO YOU AND ANYONE ELSE THINKING OF VOTING FOR OBAMA - PLEASE DON’T!!
Hillary, if elected, would enjoy no honeymoon. She would be viewed as an intensely partisan polarizing figure. Obama is currently being elevated to sainthood. Unless you think that will change (and it might but I wouldn’t bet on it) he would enter the White House with a bipartisan glow that will be very difficult to deal with.
For the same reason, Hillary would be easier to beat in the general election, at least as of now.
If you are going to vote strategically, it makes sense to vote for her. Don’t be fooled or lulled by this “nice guy” BS. He is a dagger aimed at our freedom, both economically and militarily.
But the avatar of the youth vote getter was Howard Dean -- and look how insubstantial his support was in the end.
The Clintons have decided that the best strategy to use is the one Bill used with Paul Tsongas in 1992. Defeat your candidate by becoming them, but trying to be a more authentic versoion of themselves then they are.
Bill actually pulled it off. Hillary -- not so good.
But the EFFECT of this strategy is that nobody has gone AFTER Obama yet. So -- it remains to be seen just how formidable a candidate he really is, at least in my view. He hasn't faced any fire yet.
McCain, though, probably can't deliver the fire, either.
