And Mudwhistle, one of the republican cattle stomps into the place. You realize, Mudwhisle, that republican party bosses see fools like you as worth nothing more than to be exploited.

Zaius, thanks for the laugh, dude.

You've been the grande poo bah in all of this hysteria. Don't make me dig up threads. You can't even accept corrections to your grammatical mistakes, ala using the word "you're" instead of "your". I believe your response to that minor critique was "[you're] a motherfucking asshole".

But, do bring us all together, now that you're good and ready.

I believe the truth is you started an entire thread about it. Just one in a thousand. I don't even have to dig yours up....they are everywhere.

Of course you would get a good laugh out of this....you can't stop the bickering and slime campaign.

You have said far worse, done far worse and continue day after day, after day.

You are the king of all this slime. You don't like the fact that I am trying. You can only use propaganda, hearsay and exaggerations to defend your candidate. It means you have no real faith in him. You have no real trust in him and you are desperate enough to carry on as everyone can see. I may react....but you look to stir it up.

You forgot to mention how he makes shit up, like asking why Chelsea Clinton was "muted" when she was out stumping for her mother.

It seems the only thing stirred up is your fractured imagination.

And, if you're trying to offend me, try harder.

Why would I want to offend you? I don't dislike you....I just don't like your tactics. I don't know you from adam....or eve.

"[HILLARY'S] ELECTABILITY"
By Jonathan Chait, in The New Republic, January 21, 2008


Hillary Clinton is a highly unpopular figure. In the last Gallup survey, 50% of respondents have a favorable view of her, and 46% negative. Sometimes her averages goes higher, but sometimes it veers into negative territory. Obama has very high ratings. In the most recent poll, 59% view him favorably, 32% negatively. The difference between plus 4 and plus 27 is enormous--a Detroit Lions v. New England Patriots-size gap.

On top of that, independents who vote in the primaries and caucuses have shown a very strong preference for Obama over Clinton. That is the closest available approximation of a swing voter. (Some Clinton supporters have pointed to her strength among lower-income Democrats in the primary, but a low-income Democratic primary voter is not the same thing as a working class swing voter.)

In 2000, Clinton ran five points behind Al Gore in the state of New York, and it's not like Gore was the most popular politician who ever lived. That's who she is--a figure who is disliked by pretty much everybody who isn't a sure-fire Democrat, and even some people who are. You can imagine Obama running a horrible general election campaign and becoming less popular. No doubt his favorable ratings would drop a bit in the face of Republican attacks, as would hers. But for him to become as unpopular as Clinton already is--without months of nation-side attack ads--is a worst-case scenario.


---------------------------------------------
I intend to keep quoting myself until someone gets it.

The one word most often used to describe Hillary Clinton since 1992 is "polarizing".

I know Obama is not perfect and I am certainly not sure that he can win -- but I am damned sure that Hillary cannot win.
