I'm just wondering. What will happen if Hillary wins the primaries?
Its still a possibility but now that so many people are disgusted with her tactics, what would the reaction be?

1. Those of us that support her would be happy -
those that don't support her would be unhappy. Life would go on.

2. Now a non-issue
CNN stated that she has to win every single one by double-digits to TIE Obama.

17. From my understanding, she would have to win every one of them by 65 % to tie. No way in Hell.

It is a better option that John Mcsameasbush.

30. Dems would vote for her
the Independants would vote for McSame and the youth would stay home.

Damn lucky for us we don't really have to worry much about that.

39. About the same as for Obama
with a few switches of some groups. Both can win although Obama will be a real struggle.

Why do people feel the need to change the name of the candidates?

What's wrong with McCain? (as a name, not as a candidate or president)

42. I think you have it backwards
Either could have won, though Hillary would have been a terrible struggle and an enormous risk.

43. I, and many others, won't vote for Hillary, period. There are other alternatives...
...than what the Elites in the two major political parties offer us.

4. Wow...
First I would sit alone in my living room saying "It didn't really happen, it's all a bad dream", then I would probably start seething with white hot rage and screaming "NO NO NO NO NO". After a few days I might start trying to get God/whoever to please make it be a lie "I'll give up my right arm if this is all a mistake". I might then move into a period of gut wrenching sobs, tearing at my hair and beating my breast, but finally, I would just realize "This truly sucks, but she's better than McBush!"....

5. This is not going to happen., Obama will win it
but I do feel a little sad for her, she wanted it so bad, but I for one am sick of her negative ways. I would have liked to have a woman candidate I could vote for but at least now a woman really can run to be the President in this country.

6. She's already lost... there IS no catch up
IF you want to know what the reaction will be to a Clinton nomination in defiance of the will of the people?

good question...

I'd like to hear what YOU think... seriously

I'm in the brainstorming stages... and can't get a conversation going about it here

13. I was for her originally but Obama pulled me over.
But I would have been satisfied if she had won and Obama had to wait for another time.


That was before she let her campaign run amuck, though.
Now, I would violently oppose her. To me she has shown that under the surface she is the same as Limbaugh and the other horrific Republicans.
She has no scruples.

I am hoping, praying, for someone to take us out of this slime based, tabloid political world and use intellect as the measuring stick instead of setting the highest standard as the one who can vomit the most acrimonious shit.

33. She would probably
drive me nuts and disappoint on a regular basis but she would get the job done - get the economy on a sound path, work to get universal health coverage and end the war(s). Of that I am sure.

And - it would be a great relief not to have to confront all the unity and love triumphalismand religiosity that Obama will inevitably bring along with the hype.

18. If she proves she can win even ONE state by 30%, then come talk to me.
Because she has to win EVERY remaining state by 30% just to tie the pledged delegates. There simply aren't enough states left for her to win the nomination, even if she were somehow able to start winning by 10-20% margins.

23. Well for one thing
John McCain and the republican party will be very, very happy. It will get out the vote in the GE like nothing else can, and that's the only way that McCain has a chance!

31. the only folks idsgusted with her tactics are the same ones in
here that would be disgusted with her anyway. Also the whoremedia is disgusted with her and it is rather obvious they support B. Hussein Obama. I would enjoy HRC winning all 10 of the final 10 but it will not happen. Maybe 7 of the 10 and what this will show is, if B.Hussein Obama is so damn electable then how come he cannot defeat HRC this late in the primary.

I have a feeling the democratic leaders would rather have B.hussein obama as the nominee and lose then allow hrc to be the nominee and win. It is not hrc that is causing the problems it is the damn democratic leadership under howard dean.

I would laugh my ass off if hrc wins 7 of the 10 and the super delegates vote for her and give her the nomination. b.hussein obama will be calling it racism at the top of his lungs, but it is not about race. race was an issue in this campaign when b hussein obama made it an issue and then with the whoremedia behind him blamed the clintons. he does not deserve to be the nominee and as I have so said in the past, if he is then when the networks call Pa. for mccain on November 4th then you all can go to bed cause the election is over.....

44. Amazing
It took you until your last paragraph to start crying about "false cries of racism". Normally you go for that right off the bat.

B. Hussein Obama
