I'm worried about Hillary's strategy

[johnnydrama]

If she somehow becomes the nominee, i am very worried how she would run in the GE.

What she just did was basically throw away 10 straight states to huge Obama margins to concentrate on 2 states where she nets probably 2 delegates.

Is her whole strategy based on the superdelegates bailing her out?

How would she run in the GE. The dreaded 50%+1 strategy that has not worked out so well?

1. I'm more worried about depressed turnout of African Americans and the youth vote.

2. Team Hillary is smart. Obama may have out played them early, but I think in the GE

if she is the nominee she will show that she learned from her early mistakes.

3. She cant argue her experience though in the GE

She's outmatched on that front.

4. Very true. She will have to change message, But Hillary is not going to let McCain play that one

card. I think she moves to the economy and health care where he is very weak.

7. her mandate wont be popular in the GE

5. Hell, what can she argue?

She's already played out the "vote for me, I'm a girl" route. And McCain isn't black, so there goes her backup strategy.

6. I am more concerned with the scorched earth strategy

She is mathematically out of it barring several miracles. I hope she doesn't ruin Democratic chances (for c Presidential and congressional races) with her tactics. I at least hope if she goes negative, she picks real things to go negative about, and not the bizzaro world stuff that keeps coming up.

8. I'm no Hillary supporter ...

I'm no Hillary supporter, but in the general election last night would have been a major coup as opposed to a Phyrric victory. Pretty much every state doles out it's electoral votes in "winner take all" fashion. It's been a trusted strategy for a VERY long time to concentrate on large battle ground states. Despite there being another emerging strategy, the old way still works.

I'd be more concerned that Hillary will really give the fundagelicals someone to come out and vote against without them sounding overtly over the top racist.
