Reply #53: I think Hil & Obama would lose it for the Dems....

[texanshatingbush]

Maybe it's just because I live in a red state, but I am constantly aghast at the number of "informed" and "smart" people I know who foam at the mouth when Hil is mentioned. I think the Democratic Party would find yet another way to lose if they nominated her as our candidate.

Alas, in my red state, there are vast numbers of citizens who, foaming at the mouth all the way to the polls, would NOT vote for either Hillary Clinton or for a black man for president. In fact, I expect to see a lot of crossover voting at primary time, with Publicans voting in the Dem primaries just to ensure that either Hil or Obama win Dem primary elections, thereby ensuring Dem candidate defeat in November.

Crossover voting is how we wound up with Joe Liberman, remember?

Altho' he's put his foot in his mouth a number of times, I think Biden has the background to be the best President. I also like Edwards because he understands the "two Americas" and relates well to people.
