Reply #34: It almost goes without saying that the new voters, young voters, recent swing voters

would largely be turned off if the results of the primaries were overturned by the convention.

What would be left would be the same coalition of voters basically that didn't elect Kerry minus lower turnout among AAs.

I think Hillary would bring more women to vote, and this may help offset some of this.

However, she would start with the numbers not really being there for her. Not to mention that she doesn't really have many strong campaign points against Mccain. She can't argue the war, she can't argue for experience, the racist vote she has been courting would likely prefer the reps.

She also has such high built in negatives she won't be able to shake.

She may wind up as VP, but I don't see us winning with her at the top. Never did think that, even less now.
