Former DNC chairs: Hillary would beat McCain today — Obama wouldn't

Which is why Rush is nuts for pushing this Operation Chaos business.

Which is better for Rush's obscene profit time-outs: A Dem in the WH or a Pubbie?

If McCain does win, Rush will lose listeners, if he rails against McCain for 4 years. If the Dem wins, Rush will be able to rail against him/her for 4 years.

Who benefits from Operation Chaos and a Dem win? Rush does.

So who do you work for stoodge? DNC? Moveon.org? Obama Campaign?

Check my profile, Johnnie. I was here, blasting the DNC and liberals regularly since 2001.

The fact I see a flaw in someone else's strategy, and can articulate it, makes me neither a liar nor a troll.

But if you can't debate me (which can be the only reason you'd want to see me banned as a "newbie troll"), just admit it.

My guess is he is an Obama fan. He sure is rooting for Obama to have a free ride to the convention.

Hillary isn’t going anywhere. And Obama is seriously wonded right now. Yet, Rush his followers are attacking ONLY Obama, while Hillary gets tanned, rested and ready...and burnishes her “moderate” image.

but he’s a damn’d sight better than the alternative

Well, I dunno about "a damn'd sight better," but perhaps better by the very slimmest of margins.

I can’t think of any way Obama can beat McCain - the hate America Muslim labels are not going to go away and there are probably more than a few Democrats who won’t vote for a black elitist. Hillary is proving that she is too tough and I think she’d beat McCain - she’d cream him in the debates. This is going to hang on the supers not bucking the voters. Very very tenuous situation.

Operation Chaos will go down as the worst idea Rush and his followers ever had.

You are on a thread titled ‘Hillary would beat McCain today, Obama wouldn’t’ but you STILL SUPPORT HILLARY?

Please!

[mnehring]

How did Obama get wounded and how is it possible for Hillary to win the nomination? She can no longer win via vote delegates, which would mean, if she does win the nomination, it would be by super delegates overturning the voting of the people. How do you think all those folks who are behind Obama are going to react? You think they will smile and nodd and fall in line behind Hilldog? Even better, there are actually Republicans who are going to the Democratic convention as delegates because of this.

How else can we win with such a piss poor candidate like McCain? He sure isn't inspiring anyone to vote for him. Our only chance is chaos on the other side with a good percent so pissed off they will sit out. IMHO, the strategy is brilliant.

[MNJohnnie]

The facts, and purpose, behind Operation Chaos have been slowly explained to him repeatedly. He is just clinging desperately to this lie. Considering how much time and effort he is putting into spreading this lie, it seems he is just a DNC stodge. Probably one of their paid Internet campaigners

[mnehring]

Who said I support Hilldog? I support the dems being as bloody and bruised as possible, not having a free ride. See previous post.

You are so right...always follow the money. Like Pastor Wright, and even Drudge, who said he needs Hillary. Our nation is boiling down to who makes a profitable spectacle. Pathetic.

[MNJohnnie]

Only problem is the claim that Hillary can win is a myth spewed forth by Clinton Campaign activists as the story at the head of this thread makes clear.

[mnehring]

Armchair political strategists are like armchair quarterbacks. They may claim to know better, but all they really do is tap away at a keyboard while the real quarterback is on the field.

[mnehring]

Then how come Rush is making more money now, with Bush in the White House than when the Clintoons where in the White House?

[txhurl]

That Color of Change piece just made FNC so I don’t have to post it.

[Aria]

Because of the fight. And Hillary not being out just prolongs the fight.

[MNJohnnie]

Sweet. I have not heard about it so I will have to go check it out.

This is shaping up to be one of the lowest turn out elections in my lifetime. NO body is happy with either party!

[mnehring]

Because of the fight. And Hillary not being out just prolongs the fight.

Exactly, but the real key is who is fighting. They aren't fighting our side, they are fighting their own side.

[TomGuy]

Duh!

Inflation.
