Subject: how we get out of this mess
Bart, great site, by the way.
You make some interesting points in your support
for HRC.
Yes, HRC is a fighter. Yes,
she's a damned hard worker.
The cruel hard arithmetic of electoral politics
is against her and Obama, in my opinion.
I see 40%+ of the electorate that will not vote
for Hillary regardless of anything she says or does.
As a Southerner, it's difficult to express
the visceral hatred for HRC in some quarters here.
Yet when you ask them why - they can't give you
a reason.
Ask an Obamaniac why he hates her - he can't
give an answer, either.
But you're right - both groups really, really
hate her.
Obama is an extremely attractive candidate with
some of the same electoral liabilities as HRC.
The paradox from my standpoint is that the more
liberal of the two Democratic candidates
(Obama) might be more electable than the
more moderate former First Lady.
ha ha
Sorry, that wasn't nice.
It's going to be "Barack Even-More-Liberal-Then-Hillary
Obama" until Election Day.
Bottom line to me is that she should earn the
nomination,
not get it handed to her on the basis of seniority.
Thanks,
JD in Atlanta,
I can see where you could've gotten the impression I said that.
I didn't.
I'm saying she's no Gore, she's no Kerry, she's no quitter.
She's not going down without the bloodiest of bloodbaths
- that's why we like her.
That's why we have a problem, because we know OR side isn't going to
quit.
IF
we have two great candidates about to eat each other into political oblivion,
maybe we should make a bloodless choice and win the White House and
Congress.
Since our choices are the undefeated senator in her prime and
the fresh-faced newcomer,
that suggests a compromise where both can be president - in good time.
I'm just trying to save your guy from being eaten. :)
