Over 50 vote + Hispanic vote + woman's vote + white vote = unbeatable

in a Democratic primary race.

1. yup

pretty much

2. Bill Snyder illustrated this on CNN.

3. Yes - but they would all vote for Obama over McCain. Obama expands the base!

4. not enough in a general

if the African-American voter feels disenfranchised that's trouble for the dems
if the candidate is Hillary - I don't see how she can afford not to choose Obama for VP - she will need the black vote

5. She should choose Obama as VP

and he should accept. The after 8 years of Clinton we could have eight years of Obama. But she has to win the nomination first.

I really don't know who Obama will or should choose.

7. it's not over

but I think that is a huge weakness for her if she is the candidate - Obama would not need to choose Hillary in the same way - he would carry Dems and enough independents to win - it's an interesting twist on things
Not sure who he would choose either - would be very happy with Edwards though

[Tulkas]

6. It is the women's vote

The numbers I saw on MSNBC were

59% of caucus goers were women
51% of women went to Clinton


That is a win right there, if women turn out for her she can't be beaten


Women!!!!!

8. Good thing for Hilary that men under 50 don't vote

9. Plus the GLBT vote, although Hillary won't win the "ex-gay" vote
