Oh my...............As someone said recently, all the infighting about their canidates is funny as hell, except that they could be the next President.

If Hillary Clinton wins the nomination, how many states South
of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the Mississippi River will she win in the General election? I ask because, if that number is zero, then we end up with a Republican 1 year from tomorrow, and right now, that number looks like zero to me.
Someone convince me otherwise.
I'm afraid, once again, we are choosing a candidate that is not electable next fall.

5. No crystal ball here, but I figure we have a ways to go see how the primary scramble
settles out. Might be clearer then.
Truth be told, my dead dog - may he run in peace - would beat any of the (R) candidates this year.

10. This is why we need Edwards.
Obama also has some bad news ahead I'm afraid due to his past dealings with Rezko, that seems to be turning rather ominous.
I feel like this is all playing right into the GOP's hands. Again.
They get rid of the ones they're afraid of by having their media ignore him, and set up the ones they know they can rip to shreds to be the Dem nominee.
Hillary will do better battling the GOP than Barack, but a battle it will be. And nothing will guarantee a GOP voter turnout like "that woman" Hillary or "that black man" Barack.

15. In the event of a Hillary nominee, women will rally to make up for
unmotivated Dems. I personally believe that the AA vote will rally behind her as well.
If we were looking at a choice between Hillary and Romney or Hucky or even Cainy, the Dems will be motivated
Ahhh..............logic at the DUmp.....say it ain't so

18. none in the south
A Hillary nomination would galvanize a republican opposition vote like no other candidate could. That will happen in red states outside the south as well.

20. I say she's got as good a shot as any other leading Democrat
To win Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Florida and the District of Columbia.
But frankly, if all we do is hang on to the Kerry states and keep Ohio from being stolen again, we win, whatever happens in Dixie.
Yes we have given some industrial strength kool-aid (grape) to some

33. Southern Baptists will never vote for Hillary
These are the people who believe that a wife must submit to the authority of her husband. They're not going to vote for a woman president. Nor will the hate radio listeners who believe the ridiculous lie that Hillary is a "liberal". Irony is that they would probably agree with her neocon positions on many issues, but they'll never hear about that from FAUX or Mush Limpdick.
There are many in the South that identify as democrats. There are many in the South that seem to always vote for democrats. There however are a lot more sane people in the South that would never vote for any of the current Democrats.............regardless of which one it is.
