The Democrats should have this election in the bag, but they will screw it up again. Go Hillary!


The Democrats are running on a change platform against a GOP candidate with the lowest approval rating ever. It should be so easy. But God bless Hillary Clinton for being so power-hungry that she is destroying Obama. It puts McCain in the position of being able to just sit back and look like a mature elder statesman while she renders Obama unelectable. I mean, she levels the exact same charges McCain does, but follows it with "Well, this is what the Republicans are going to say in the fall," so that she appears not to be personally attacking him. It's hilarious!

I am predicting McCain, primarily for this reason. And Romney will be his VP. Those two have actual leadership qualities and experience, and will lead this country in the right direction.


1. I suppose there are many who believe that Hillary is hurting the Dems. I recall some in the party and across America calling on her to call it quits. I think the party set the date for the Convention for Aug deliberately, knowing that the possibilities are that candidates will fight it to the end or voters will make their choice early. Unfortunately the former happened and I think we must allow it.

2. I think that this is part of a Presidential campaigning.Candidates continue to use opportunities to argue that they are better than the other. I have listened to Obama and/or members of his campaign and/or his supporters go on Hillary about Bosnia, claiming that First Lady experiance is not experiance at all and many others.This is them just testing the tenacity and electability of each candidate.

3. I believe that Dems will, at the end of the Primaries, unite behind the winner. McCain hasn't felt the steam of Democracts at work when united. By any standards, any candidate that has enjoyed as much break as McCain should be doing extreemly well on the national polls, he isn't. Should have raised enough money, he hasn't.I think he'll be the easiest Republican to beat ever.


1. Thank you for agreeing with me.

2. "Experience" as First Lady is not experience. Obama is right. But the two of them went so negative that they are making each other unelectable. You are clearly blindly in support of Hillary, so you won't agree with this despite its obvious truth, but Hillary went negative earlier, more often, and far too strongly. Great strategy for maximizing her chances of winning the nomination, but at what cost? Now that she realistically can't win, she should be toning down the rhetoric. But she is too power-hungry and ****. I love it.

3. You might be right about the uniting after Hillary concedes thing. But keep in mind that Hillary has not yet stopped the attacks, and shows no end in sight. So it will continue to get worse for Obama before it gets better. And McCain is gaining ground on Obama, with some polls showing them statistically tied. As for the money issue, why doesn't Obama stick to his pledge to use public funding?? And how can you say he's an easy Republican to beat? He has cross-over appeal like Reagan. Appealing to independents is how you win an election, son.


I note your closing word. You sound like you would want McCain to go head to head with Obama than Hillary. Could this mean that you are picking the easy to beat candidate between the two.

I know that Republicans are terrified at the possibility of running against a Clinton (who now leads national polls 46-45%)as they know how tough she can be in a run off. Hillary is continuing with the campaign as a candidate is not chosen yet and it is her right to fight it until she secures the nomination. I am not those Dems that say they will vote for McCain if their candidates looses. I will vote for Obama if Hillary wins, that should tell you that I am not "blindly in support of Hillary", I just believe that she will be the best Commander in Chief.

McCain has to choose Romney if he really wants to win the conservatives, but he should know that he will loose some as Romney brings his baggage when it comes to other groups like religious.

He will be easy to beat, here is how. Economy is one of the strongest points of this elections and his weakest. Even his plan is found wanting and he cannot expand on it himself. Most Americans now want out of Iraq, he doesn't seem to notice.


Good God. Obama would be a way tougher opponent than Hillary. That is one reason we are voting for her. Another is that, at this point, she cannot win, so this just drags out the battle between them. At least Obama would have a leg to stand on in criticizing McCain's war stance.

Nobody is terrified of running against a Clinton. That couple has so much baggage, and so many skeletons in the closet it's ridiculous. Hillary is a ****, and the whole country knows it (except for you and some other hippies). Romney has religious baggage because he's a Mormon, but do you seriously think that in November any conservative in his right mind will vote for the extremely liberal ticket? Remember, Obama is a bridge-builder, but he's still very liberal. And I'm not talking about his skin playing a role (but it will).

The economy. McCain will pick someone who has much more experience on economic matters than the Dem candidates. He will have cabinet members who help him. He is not running for chairman of the Fed. He's running for commander in chief, and he is more qualified to do so than your beloved Hillary or Nobama.


Fistly you contradict yourself by arguing that Obama is tougher and then say that is the reason we are voting for HER. SMART. In this race the word "CANNOT WIN" doesn't exist. You will know that both candidates dont have enough to seal the deal. They will need Florida and Michigan, as well as automatic delegates.

CNN reports that there is a difference of 144 delegates between these candidates and that already includes the pledged automatic delegates.

That was Math... lets turn to Facts.On economy which McCain is blank on, you are advancing an argument that we must vote him anyway because he will hire someone who knows the issue.R U serious? He must know the issue hismelf even if he will have advisors and secretaries

Clintons have been tested and most of what you would regard as skeletons are out and dealt with. I cannot say the same about Barack. Republicans are still having a go on him and are just waiting for him to win to launch their machine.

"Bridge-building"? please.I need someone who'll unite the country on economy.Build the bridge between rich-poor, between haves-havenots on health and other issue.Dems will screw it by voting Obama.

Pat, I agree with you entirely. Well, other than the notion that the GOP would rather face Obama. Nice calls re: Romney and the economy!

Watch out, majestik. P&L is a cheater, and may try to sabotage the voting, like (s)he did with our recent debate. Just check out our recently completed ''debate'' about being able to vote more than once. Just letting you know, be careful.

Crying foul Pit? but I must say in the spirit of fairness, I did concede in my last submission that McA gave me a solution about changing your origional vote, therefore automatically I threw the debate. But thanks for the votes anyway.

I'm pulling a liberal and saying the vote was fixed. Integrity was disenfranchised. The last half of what you just said is incoherent.
