If Hillary Wins the Nomination and Loses to McCain in November
Who or what will Hillary's supporters blame?

1. Barack Obama?
2. the Moon is in Sagittarius
3. Americans hate women?
4. Clinton fatigue?
5. fear of Bill Clinton back in the White House?
6. ?????

3. #3
Definately #3.

Same meme they've used repeatedly against Obama supporters, so I doubt they change for the GE.

5. To date, she's blamed the voters for being too stupid to appreciate her brilliance. Her surrogates
would probably stick to your list.

7. Florida or Dean...
Blame it on Florida (and Michigan) for dividing the Dems by having rogue primaries.
Or, blame it on Dean for sanctioning Florida and Michigan, thus pissing off voters we needed in November.

Or, blame it on Dean for the DNC not having a good campaign to back up Hillary (like many blame McAuliffe for Kerry losing in 2004)

9. The question needs reframing
Who will we blame?
If she lost to McCain I wouldn't give a flying fuck to what her thoughts might be!

10. If either Hillary or Obama lose to McCain
there'll be a lot of blame for choosing whichever Democratic nominee for President we pick. I can see that coming.

15. I don't think either of them will lose out to a 3rd Bush term.
While I think Obama gives us a chance to re-write the electoral map I think that Clinton will be able to win the 50% plus 1 that it takes to win come November.

What matters more is the congress and I don't think Clinton has the coattails that Obama has. If the Bush years have taught us anything it is that a pliant congress is a popular presidents best friend. Both Clinton and Obama have more or less the same positions on most of the important issues of the day, and despite Clinton's experience Obama will be more effective.

22. I would blame the voters who voted for McCain
Edited on Sat Mar-01-08 06:53 PM by goodgd_yall
who else? They would be the ones to hold responsible, just as I held the voters who voted for Bush in 2004 responsible for that very bad, bad vote. I never think of why they didn't vote for the Democrat; I think of why they voted for the Republcan. In 2004 it was fear that drew people to Bush. I have no idea what people are going to respond to at this point.

23. I don't know. But the DP will not survive it.
If anyone thinks the infighting is bad now, if she loses this will seem like a picnic!

24. DRE - Never forget counting the vote.
Dems on the whole are STILL so complacent on the subject. Whoever is the nominee, nothing would please me more than an early strike to protect the 'integrity' of CATV - Count All The Votes.
