2. If HRC is the candidate, I don't think so

the supporters of BHO may not "transfer" to her in the fall..ans might stay home..

Low turnout means people down-ticket do not get votes they need to beat their republican opponents..

It's the result of a turned off, pissed off electorate..especially for the new ones who were getting into this for the first time..

Dashed hopes die..and when there is no enthusiasm, people stay home..

The new people and huge turnouts will go away...as will the ever-dependable black vote that the dems have counted on ...forever..

After Bobby was killed in "68, many people just did not even bother to vote in the fall..No one "wanted" the guy they stuck us with..
