I think all this "If Clinton doesn't win the nomination; I will not vote for Obama" (and vice-versa) among some Democrats is mostly sour grapes.
I also think that while Hillary's numbers look good in certain areas and states; she will never be able to overcome that "Clinton-hate" group. I think Obama could choose Bill Richardson, John Edwards, or Dennis Kucinich; and do just as well- if not better.
Do not forget; with years of an unpopular ( and very expensive) ongoing war, out- of- control inflation, high unemployment, a housing crisis where maybe 20% of current mortgages are in default that this upcoming general election will be almost impossible for the Dems to lose- no matter whom the nominee and/or the VP choice.
Poor McCain is going to have to do a little more than keep telling us about how friendly he was with Ronald Reagan, his military service record, and try to scare White America with Jeremiah Wright. None of this stuff means a darn thing the next time you go to the gas station or grocery store! He will have an easier time swimming across the Pacific Ocean. |
