Re: Electability (none / 0)

"Obama's chances are excellent in my opinion. A lot of voters haven't made up their minds yet, and those 60%+ who won't name Hillary now are not likely to vote for her in the primaries."

That is nonsense by any measure.  You are assuming that as candidates peel away that Clinton will not pick up a singulary voter from other candidates.  That is ridiculous reasoning.   Besides, she gets a huge percentage of first AND second choice votes (65%,) a much higher level than either Obama or Edwards.  Her support universe at this point is a lot higher than either Obama's or Edwards'.

Unfortunately, I agree.

Re: Electability (none / 0)

I am talking about undecided voters at this point.

And people do not have two votes.


The history of the left is a history of purists betraying the progressive movement so that they can feel good about their righteous selves.

Re: Electability (none / 0)

Second choice vote means that she's second in preference. She might not get those votes, but they sure do point that claiming that Hillary will never get a vote she doesn't have already is not supported by any facts.

There is nothing that suggest that Hillary can't gain votes from undecideds
