Why in the world HRC being 'close' to winning the primary would possibly make her the better choice, or the appropriate for the GE?!
Obama is winning. What is ambiguous about that?!
I know the arguments against, can someone posit the 'in favor of' argument?

3. White working class voters are the ulitmate swing voters, and we cannot win without them. |
|
Then you must deduce that their votes for Clinton are votes AGAINST Obama, and therefore that he will not be able to break 50% in this demographic, thereby making him unelectable.

5. Doesn't say much for Clinton. |
|
I'd really hope that if I were a candidate that people would vote for me based on my strengths, not as the lesser of two evils.

7. I'm incapable of defending that position, it's just what I've heard SD's say. |

8. Doesn't equate to they WON'T vote for Obama It's just that.... |
|
They just identify more with Clinton, for some reason.
When they see the choice of McSame versus Obama in the fall, they'll most likely vote Obama, not McSame.

11. their argument, as I understand it is... |
|
he was strong when he had the 11 state winning streak, now that he's lost a couple states (that he was never forecast to win) he's weak... or something like that...

12. Actually, hillary shouldn't even be close, she should have had this primary sewn up |
|
no later than Super Tues. with all she had going for her. That, among quite a few other things, is why she shouldn't be handed the nomination.
I can't think of one reason that would make hillary a better choice.
Hope you get the answer you're seeking.
