Ohio Republicans pulling for Clinton to win per Ohio Press

One of the worst-kept secrets of the Ohio presidential primary is that Republican Party leaders have a candidate they are rooting for on the Democratic side.
Her name is Hillary Rodham Clinton; and they believe that if she wins the Ohio primary and goes on to become the Democratic nominee, she will be the one who unites their dispirited and divided party and gives them their best chance of keeping the White House this fall.
It is a belief that the Clinton campaign says is wrong; and they will campaign across the state for the next three weeks making the argument that their battle-tested, experienced candidate is the only one who can go toe-to-toe with John McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee.

'HIGH NEGATIVES'
To hear Republicans tell it, they're rooting for Clinton.
"There is no doubt about it," said John Becker, a Clermont County Republican who represents much of southern Ohio on the Ohio Republican Party Central Committee. "There is nobody who can consolidate and energize the Republican Party like Hillary Clinton. It will get the people out and the money will flow."
Part of it is that Clinton has what pollsters call "high negatives."
A USA Today poll this month showed that as many Americans had an unfavorable view of Clinton - 49 percent - as a favorable view (48 percent). The same poll showed Barack Obama's unfavorable rating at 34 percent, and his favorable rating at 58 percent. The Feb. 8-10 poll of 1,016 adults nationwide has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

10. Texas and Ohio are Open Primaries

and Pennsylvania too.

Most polls showing her lead are of "Likely Democratic Voters"

So those could be interesting.

[boston bean]

11. The light is shining down upon our fearless democratic leader. Praise be to God! nt

[davsand]

9. Heaven forbid the Dems elect a candidate that can draw from outside the Left wing.

It is just awful to contemplate the horror of the Dems winning the Presidency, after all...

:puke:



Time for hide thread AND ignore.

[Johnny__Motown]

12. I think Repugs know McCain will lose and they want to make sure we don't have another Pres. Clinton

[boston bean]

13. Faith. Keep the faith. Amen!

[Kittycat]

14. Really? Because the Republicans I know in VA, voted HRC.

They'd rather run against her.

[boston bean]

16. Tha't right, don't believe polls and evidence, Obama is the chosen one!

He is the one to fear.

[rcsl1998]

17. Has Anyone Done A Poll In The 'Red States'...

...that Senator Obama is winning by big margins to see how the general populous in those states would vote in an Obama/McCain match-up? I keep hearing that he does so well in these states, but that's only in a Democratic caucus or primary. Does his popularity in the Democratic caucus/primary translate to the general population in Idaho? Nebraska? Alaska? etc. - If there have been polls on this, please direct me to them. Thanks!

[Hav]

24. Not exactly red states...

but purple ones that might help in the general election. Here are results for Nevada and Colorado.
There was also done a poll for New Hampshire with similar results I think which showed that McCain loses considerable support from Repubs if it's in a match-up against Obama.
