My personal opinion is that is a bad idea. I’d rather see Obama in the general than Hillary. McCain WILL beat Obama, I’m not so sure about Hillary. She has the Clinton machine, he has nothing.
If Obama is not on the ticket (and how could he be after Hategate?) then black will stay home or (gasp) vote for McCain. Problem solved.
Hillary also has the white blue collar vote outside of the South. If Obama is nominated, he loses that vote, and we get PA, OH, and possibly even NJ.
Well, if her Clinton machine is going to work in the general election, it had better work during the rat convention, because right now, she is behind. As I understand it from several reports, she cannot amass a majority of committed delegates at this point.
So, if the machine has any “stones” I would conclude that we would see it in operation at the rat convention.
Why hasn't the Clinton machine worked so far? Methinks Bill has the keys to the machine, and he's not letting Hillary ride it.
The Election Weatherman blog has election maps comparing Obama and Hillary. Obama is the stronger candidate.
