Nobody should vote for Hillary in the primaries

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

unless they want her to be the nominee. If not, there are a host of other good candidates. No matter how the primaries play out, the nominee will have the aura of a winner going into the GE. Anyone who knocks off Hillary gets a lot of practical politics "winner" points in my book. It would be a remarkable feat and would auger well for that campaign.

As for what anyone should do in the general election if Hillary somehow becomes the Dem nominee... well, it's kind of a weird thing to worry about. The GE is well over a year away.

If Clinton is the Dem nominee we may well be deciding between Rudy (or Romney or McCain) versus Hillary based on their policies about how to deal with Russia's invasion of Georgia, or how best to cope with the squatter army of dispossessed Floridian foreclosure victims camped out in DC, or their response to the overthrow of the Saudi royal family by an extremist group we've never heard of, or how to organize the economic infrastructure while 1/3 of the workforce is laid up with with a pandemic flu.

Or their proposals for how to cope with a newly discovered comet that will strike the Earth in 2026.

Perhaps Bush will start rounding up American Muslims. It is reasonable to assume that Clinton and Guliani would have different policy positions on that. Not as different as one might like, but different enough to matter a lot to those being detained.

Speaking for myself, there is only one Dem candidate I actively dislike (Edwards) and if he gets the nomination I will advocate for him as if he were the second coming. I am quite convinced that Guliani is a menace on par with Bush. The only good thing anyone can say about him is that he's not anti-gay, anti-choice, but since he has promised to pack the courts with anti-gay, anti-choice, anti-rights judges, his personal attitudes on social issues mean nothing.

And he WILL bomb Iran... no maybe. He will not "enable" it, he will order it.

2. If this is a popcorn thread people must be hard up for entertainment.

If "Support the best Man or Woman in the Primaries" is flame-bait, God help us all.

3. Well, given that my primary is not

until freaking JUNE, I really don't think it matters much how I vote by that time.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

5. Same here. When I vote for Biden it will be voting for a cabinet position.

He will probably be long gone in the race.

6. Okay. You have my guarantee I won't! nt

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

7. Me neither, Gateley. I really like Biden and if he somehow got the nod

I'd be delighted. I think the American people would love the guy.

[gateley]

8. I'm with you, K&R. To know him is to love him - really! nt

9. Agreed.

Big Media wants Hillary to get the nomination. The Republicans want Hillary to get the nomination. Rupert Murdoch holds fundraisers for Hillary to get the nomination.

What don't Democrats get about those above statements ?!?

HRC as the nominee = Republican President, Republican Congress, 8-1 Supreme Court decisions for decades to come. My friends ... work HARD to convince Gore to run ... the surest of surest things ( with coattails too ) !
