She is far harder to beat than Obama. Get this insanity put away. CONSERVATIVES DO NOT WIN ELECTIONS. LIBERALS DO NOT WIN ELECTIONS.

Moderate independents do.

As of now, McCain will get those over Obama. He won’t get those as readily over Hillary.

And the popular vote stuff is silly given Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan. If he had been, he would retain his popular vote lead.

Obama will be easier to beat...but Hillary has no chance in hell to be the nominee. Its just gonna be a fight that benefits us.

Regardless, for all the over-reacting in here I might as well throw out the concept of possibility that whichever Dem wins the nomination they could pick the other for the VP.

I’ve never heard so much talk about the “popular vote” in a primary season. If there is so much emphasis on this now, why not do away with the delegate system altogether and just have a national primary?

If the winner of the most votes should be the nominee then I think in many cases past nominees would never have won. Like in 1968 when the guy with the most votes in all the GOP primaries was a fellow named Ronald Reagan! Apparently Nixon did not contest California so Reagan got 100% of the vote there, and on the basis of that state alone, it pushed Reagan ahead of Nixon by just 4/10ths of a percent. Quite interesting.
