More on a Hillary Comeback

[Ancesthntr]

My bottom line take: The turf looks fairly favorable to Clinton, provided she wins Ohio and Texas March 4

----------------------

IMHO, at this point, the only way Hillary wins is if enough Repubs cross over and get her the victory. I know of numerous friends and relatives in Texas who intend to do just that.

Hillary, IMHO, is an easier win in November than Obama...but that's just my opinion.

I'm in Texas, and I'm considering voting for Her Beastness for just that reason - I think that Obama could win, and that he's also far, far more dangerous.

But the thought of pulling the lever for Monica's ex-boyfriend's wife just makes me want to heave.

He has shown absolutely nothing to point to the fact that he would silence critics if he would win.

She has. Time and time again.

“Hillary, IMHO, is an easier win in November than Obama...but that’s just my opinion.”

The Clintons are markedly more dangerous in power than Obama would be. The Bush administration is still dealing with the seeds planted by the Clinton administration. They are like a widely metastatic cancer. When you have the chance to cut it out before it spreads that is always the best chance of survival. Betting on the possibility that you can contain it is highly risky.

Understanding McCain is your first choice, you would really rather have Hillary than Obama?

[John D]

If your logic is wrong (and I believe it is) and she wins the GE, please think of the possible ramifications for the next 4 years. Number 1- FR may be shut down. (And no that is not an exaggeration)

McCrazy is every bit as much against freedom of the press and freedom of speech as B.J. junior is. What makes you think he would do anything different?

[GOPJ]

Hillary’s got the downscale lunchbox-racist vote. She must be veeeery proud.

[Red in Blue PA]

Re: The Clintons are markedly more dangerous in power than Obama would be

This bears repeating, over and over and.........

[Jeff Head]

McCain is a distant 4th choice for me for the GOP. Let’s make that clear. He is a ugly stain. It is simply that either Hillary or Obama would be far, far worse.

[bill1952]

Obama is the only dem that McCain CAN beat.

Hillary is unbeatable. If she takes the nomination she will take 30 -34 states in November.

Obama is a flash much like Dean, but with a different electoral and constituent equation.
Due to several intrinsic factors, not the least of which is the fact that he is taking traditional dem voters that are on the plantation away from hillary, but will not alter the general election with them as they always vote democrat anyway, he will be very vulnerable to several different election strategies.

Hillary will sweep us aside.

[Clemenza]

Rhode Island primary, March 4. Clinton has done well with downscale Catholic voters, which accounts for most of the Rhode Island electorate.

"Of cawse 'ill vote for Hil-LAH-ry over O-baw-ma! Wadda ya think we AHH, ReTAHHHHded?" (Bristol townie goes back to his Linguica and clams).

[Ancesthntr]

On every issue we have huge problems with McCain (ie. campaign finance, immigration, enviro issue, etc), we would lose the same ground and more with either Hillary or Obama.

With McCain, we at least have a chance to hold some ground in the WOT, on abortion, on the SCOTUS, and with taxes. We know we would lose big time on all of those with Obama or Hillary too.

That bears repeating. I'm no fan of McStain, never have been. In fact, the more time passes by, the more I dislike him. But the alternative is worse, far worse.

How sad our duty is - to pick the candidate you hate or fear the most, and vote for the other one, no matter the other one's qualities or record. But it IS (IMHO) our duty.

I think Mrs. Clinton’s “comeback” begins tonight in Wisconsin.

[LadyNavyVet]

“The Clintons are markedly more dangerous in power than Obama would be.”

I agree. Obama has no executive experience whatsoever. None. It would take him a year or so just to gear up. Hillary would hit the ground running and could do a whole lot more damage in four years than Obama. Why anyone voting in an open primary would vote to keep Hillary alive at this point is beyond me. “Take her out and remove all doubt.”

[Jeff Head]

I believe that in order to win, even with cross over help, that Hillary will alienate the black and far left vote so badly (and is already doing so) that many of them are likely to stay home and offset the many who will stay home because of McCain.

As bad as McCain is, as many issues as he has betrayed conservatives on, McCain would still not be as dangerous or as bad as either Hillary or Obama.

I believe Hillary will alienate the left and split that vote...I do not believe Obama will. Therefore I believe Hillary the much easier candidate to beat in November.

Only time will tell and God bless and preserve us because of ALL the bad choices we have left in this election.

[Danz Family]

I think my breakfast just came back:

[Antoninus]

The Clintons are markedly more dangerous in power than Obama would be.

Agreed. They'd be able to "hit the ground running" and do tremendous damage in the first year.

Hussein would still be learning the ropes by the time the mid-terms came around.

[palmer]

You need to read what people are telling you in this thread. For Hillary it’s all about power and the media will support her out of fear. With Obama, he will be more lefty and the media won’t be as supportive.

[DM1]

i agree hill should give us a better shot at winning than Obama
then again the “Bradley Effect” could come into play with Obama
hard to tell this far out

[Red in Blue PA]

Re: Therefore I believe Hillary the much easier candidate to beat in November.

But, if you are wrong, that could do severe damage to the Republic. Not a chance I would be comfortable with.

It’s not like we cannot envision what she would try to do.

[Ancesthntr]

Hillary will sweep us aside.

I don't underestimate the Clintons - not after 1992.

But.

If this primary season has shown anything, it has shown her vulnerabilities. No, I don't think that this has been scripted - that's too much power to ascribe to anyone. Also, if she wins it'll be because of some dirty tricks against and/or nasty comments about Obama, thereby alienating LOTS of blacks. If that happens, I don't see a high black turnout, leading not only to a Hillary loss, but also to losses in close Senate and House races...plus, of course, higher turnout by "angry white males" against Monica's ex-boyfriend's wife.

Anyhow, we need to do everything possible to avoid being lectured to and screamed at by that creature married to Hussein Obama - that creature makes Hillary look like Margaret Anderson from "Father Knows Best."
