I found it interesting that Mrs. Clinton had a high unfavorable and very favorable score, third in the very favorable scores. I read Bartcop regularly and he asks if Mrs. Clinton is the nominee will the netroots get behind her? Or will we form the traditional circular firing squad? Will we support someone we think has sold out to the DLC and big business over whom ever the Republicans nominate? It is a hypothetical question but it is a good one. After all politics is the art of compromise, isn't it? As for me, I would still like to vote for Howard Dean, but I would proudly vote for the first woman President if that is my choice. I don't believe in letting the perfect get in the way of the good. How say you?
I don't think it will matter since the netroots will stop any DLC candidate from being the nominee. Hillary, Vilsack, Warner, and Bayh are equally unacceptable.
If the netroots think they can do this (block candidates,) then they all better show up for their county precincts, coventions and elect their ilk to district and state and then the national convention. This really all is about taking control of the Dem party and the only way to do this is for us being the ones who sit in the cat-bird seats.
Was also interested in the age demographics. Being 68, I am often amused by comments "the seniors sometimes don't understand computers, blogging, etc."
Not a "Momster"
That netroots could easily get behind Mark Warner.
not. gonna. happen.
I'm see your reason for concern and would favor the same course of action.
Until that time comes, however, I'm going to help move heaven and earth to get a better candidate nominated, because -- much as I look forward proudly to the day a woman Democrat becomes the first POTUS -- we can do so much better for our party and nation than Mrs. Clinton, the politician.
John McCain is not pro-choice!
Forgive me if I don't sell my Republic down the river of dynasticism.
I think entering a third decade of two family rule is a bit much, don't you?
I don't think being a woman should have anything to do with it. If you're going to be proud of voting for her, find something about her that reflects her capabilities for the position.
