Should Senator Clinton keep fighting through the convention?

She also is banking that Obama will lose this one and she can be the undamaged candidate in four years. I just can't see either of these two surrendering to the other. Hillary wants that motorcade all to herself.


Edit: Someone sent this to me and it's too funny not to share.

me too. nope on the Obama-Clinton ticket (but gutsy call)

my guesses are sebelius (female gov of kan.) or kaine (gov of vir.)

picking a woman would help heal wounds of clinton supporters.

and kaine is a conservative dem.

both are from states that democrats could have a hard time with.


the other strong possibility is going across the aisle. would fit with obama's message. dems may not like someone that is pro-life, but what are they going to do? vote for mccain? hagel is a strong possibility. maybe kathleen harris
(i kid, i kid)

 

classic:hihi:

 

absolutely no chance obama loses. i dont care what the polls say. no way the country puts a republican in the wh. obama will rip mccain in debates. mccain's strength is in an area of relative insignificance today.

the tide has turned and there is no way the GOP can win Ohio or Virginia

 

The democrats have an inexhaustible talent for losing. :hihi:


Time will tell.

 

This election, I agree. As bad a job as W has done, it would seem liket the dems couldn't lose this one, but, right now anyway, it's shaping up to be close. The fact that the repubs nominated the most moderate canidate in McCain helps.

A lot of people think that the battle is hurting the dems, but I think that all the attention right now might be actually helping them, it's the democratic race that's dominating the news right now, and the dem canidate will have been thouroughly vetted, while McCain is bound to lose some ground once the democratic canidate turns his full attention to him.

 

Excellent points. It will be interesting to see how it pans out in the long run. I have never seen a presidential race like this in my lifetime. Granted I am not as long lived as some of our more.....venerable posters.

Doesn't seem like anyone can agree on what is happening either. Other than the inevitable mudslinging, I think it's kind of cool that the process is going a bit longer than normal. Although I admit to listening less and less with each passing day. That's one thing I can give Europeans credit for. Limiting the time we have to listen to these guys take shots at each other. I think they could say all they need to in a 30 day period and I would be fine with it. The rest is just smoke and mirrors. probably the most disheartening part of the political process.

 

Clinton should stay in and keep harping on the fact that she is the only candidate that can beat McCain. Barrack appeals to roughly half of the
Democratic base. Hillary appeals to the other half, has the ability to pull some of Obama's supporters, and has a better chance of pulling swing voters. Most of Hillary's base, what Barack would call the typical white people, will not support a far leftist candidate. Hillary vs. Mcain is a close election. Obama vs. McCain is a Repbulican land slide.
