1. Hillary is entitled to the nomination and no amount of common sense or strategy is going to convince democrat caucus goers otherwise. The power brokers of the democrat party are all pro-Hillary (just like all the Republican power brokers in the past were all pro-Bush) and no matter how flawed she is, she is going to get the nomination (though I think Barack deserves it more).
2. Hillary is unelectable to the masses, which to the democrats dismay is not them.
The only reason I recently came to the conclusion of number 2 is this jim dandy chart from The Economist right here;
Good
freaking
cripes.
19% honesty and morality?
The worst, the absolute worst thing to the Republicans the democrats could do is nominate Obama.
Which they won't.
Because (despite me disagreeing with him on every policy) I believe him to be an honest man and to the democrat power brokers he isn't "black enough."
Enjoy your own undoing.
I read another chart on Hillary that says she can't get above 49% of the vote, because 51% of the public despises her. She has no margin for error.
ReplyDeleteyour own highlights of hillary's flaws point to Huckabee's morality and honesty ratings (highest) as the winner?
ReplyDeleteThat would be good in my opinion since he is a supporter of the fair tax. I don't recall ever seeing your stance on the fair tax, care to opine?
Keep up the great work!
You think that a Republican can win although the economy will tank? I don't think that an incumbent party can win an election under bad economic circumstances. Even more so because Rudy will more and more present himself as a Dubya 2.0 to secure the fundamentalist votes in his party.
ReplyDeleteHa! It seems as though Huckabee is the anti-Hillary. Would a Huckabee v. Hillary matchup be the Republican's best hope? I wonder.
ReplyDeleteWhat if the Republicans nominate Guliani? He scores pretty low on honesty and morality too.
ReplyDeleteI truly get a kick out of all of the loudmouth Republicans who like to beat up on hillary. If she such a piece of crap, I would think someone would of defeated her when she ran for US Senate. They chickened out of course, she won.
ReplyDeleteI would like to say that I agree with your scenairo. However, if Rudy get the GOP nomination he may be competeitive in Blue states but will be far to liberal ona whole host of issues to be safe in too many Red states, which leaves his back door open to a thrid party candidate that will drain enough votes from the GOP to the Democrat.
ReplyDeleteRudy and Mitt have been videoed taped flip-floppying too many times to be taken seriuosly in flyover country, especially the South, parts of the Midwest and Great Plain States. Huckabee is too Southern Baptist minister to be taken seriously in the North. I can't see industrial states Catholics and African-Americans voting for a white conservative minister from Arkansas as President.
Right now, McCain seems to be the only Republican without the personal and political baggage that has solid conservative credentials that could pull the rabbit out of the hat. But he is far behind in the polls. Only time will tell but the Republicans are too far away to be a show in.

I'm thinking some of these responses are too far outside the realm of possibility. Any chance too many people decided they could only mark one answer for each candidate and skewed the results? What do you think?
ReplyDeleteThe really astounding statistic that I see is that Hillary scores 2nd highest (61) on INTELLIGENCE!!
ReplyDeleteBehind Obama (65) ???
This is the SAME Hillary Clinton who's married to Bill Clinton? The same one who shortly after 9/11 said "We've got to seal the Canadian border! All the 9/11 terrorists came into the US from Canada. Everybody Knows that!!!!!"
And Just WHAT has Barrak Obama done or said to show that he is intelligent??? WTF?
Other than that Giulianni scores best on Competence, Reliability, Leadership and Judgment! BUT of course NO ONE cares about those qualities in a President!!
Good God.........
OMMAG are you serious? Have you read any of the bios on the candidates are do you just listed to what the media spoon feeds you on a daily basis? Barack is a very intelligent guy, perhaps the most intelligent candidate (along with Ron Paul). He went to Columbia undergrad, and then on to Harvard Law. Last I checked, Harvard Law is the #2 law school behind Yale. (which is where Hillary graduated law school) Damn, even Giuliani is smart even though he can't complete two sentences without a stutter. (He graduated from NYU law school; #4 law school in case you still don't get it)
ReplyDeleteHillary Clinton is unelectable! Period. I am a die hard GOPer, but my undecided friends all say, the GOP has 240 electoral votes to start with in the bag and another 35 that are tilted the GOP's way, so she has to pick up somewhere. The electional is all about three states, Ohio, Penn, and Florida. If Rudy is in the race, she HAS to spend money in NY, which means less for the those three "swing" states. McCain is popular in CA, another state she would have to spend money in, so this time, the GOP is in a clearly strong position. Obama is just too liberal even for the Dems. My prediction is McCain over Hillary, 285-250 electoral votes.
ReplyDeleteObviously your analysis was completely off. Good work.
ReplyDeletewell sadly it seem that obama is the democratic candidate he obviously isnt getinng votes for his veiws because they are horrible so we all know why people vote for him! and he will ruin our country if he wins . so try to save our country vote MCCAIN!
