The strange thing is that Huckabee is the 2nd best speaker in the race this year, behind Obama, however, unlike Obama, he has been unable to turn that good speaking into votes. My own bias says that Republicans are not so easily swayed by a slick speaker as Democrats are.
I'm fighting the temptation to do the same thing here in Texas on 4 March, except I'd vote for Hillary.
But, I'd have to stand in line with all those Democrats and keep quiet while they talk about "change they can believe in."
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
If I was Hillary that’s the message I’d be getting out every day between now and Texas — that the Republicans are deciding the democratic primary. It’s clear there is a large crossover, and it’s clear they are voting against Hillary because they hate her.
She needs to get democrats upset about Republicans “picking their nominee”, so she can stir up fear that we are doing so because we know we can beat Obama (whether that is true or not is secondary to her). She needs to get her prominent friends at the NYTimes to join her to give her credibility in the claim.
I think she whould be easier to beat in November, and also would be a better President than Obama, so I wish she would win the nomination, but poorly, and in a way that ticks off Obama’s supporters.
But I understand a lot of people fear the Clintons so much they want her out now, even if it means 4 years of socialist Barack Obama.
“I suspect that a lot of Republicans are voting for Obama just out of hatred for Hillary. I have no data to back this notion up. Just a suspicion”
I heard that 10% of the GOP vote in Wisconsin was Republicans and they went 2 to 1 for Obama.
It will be important to bring them home in November or hte most liberal Senator in the US Senate loses.
“This guy [Obama] is very scary. Not only as a candidate as McCain will have a nearly an impossible time beating him, but also as, God forbid, President. THE MOST LIBERAL MEMBER OF THE U.S. SENATE. Good grief that is bad news. Couple that with his being incredible inexperienced and flat our naive/ignorant/wrong on foreign policy and we are in for a world of hurt. The words “abject disaster” come to mind. The incredibly scary thing is how many republican friends I have who buy into his vapid speeches. It is truly frightening.” - Wyatt’s Torch
