CLINTON v McCAIN GE BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE ! Who Will be Hillary's VP ??
The media is focusing, for some reason, on the Obama v McCain GE Campaign. Yesterday I posted dozens of links to articles in papers and magazines focusing on the Obama/McCain fight and Obama's Electoral Strategy and Obama's VP Picks.

I can't find ANY articles about these topics for Hillary ! Every major news channel is running stories about Obama in the GE !

Yet, thread after thread here tells me Obama is unelectable (mainly because he's black) and that Hillary still has a chance.

So.. Clinton Supporters.. answer the questions NONE OF THE MEDIA ARE ASKING!

How Will Hillary run Against McCain?
Who Will be her VP?

Why isn't anyone talking about any of this?

Curious minds want to know.

"...Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

And that is only one part of her base.

24. Semantics
Edited on Tue May-13-08 11:07 AM by muryan
When identifying demographics, those who have completed college are labeled "uneducated." Thats not to say those people are lacking intelligence, but rather a somewhat specialized education in a particular field that one gets from college. You know what the person above you meant, and by splitting hairs you just make your argument look weak.

16. She isn't focusing on the win, but instead is focusing on taking Obama out.
And perhaps to pay off her debt. But I don't believe this is about her trying to win. She see's delegates switching from her to Obama just like you or I see this. Just as she has laughed off answers to policy questions or has planted supporters to ask questions, so is this another fake to have people believe she is in this to win.

26. I got your answers right here...
How will Hillary run against McCain? With as much bile and venom as she has run against Obama.

Who will be her VP? Someone who doesn't mind wallowing in filth and making inflammatory statements meant to divide. I suggest a Republican.

Why isn't anyone talking about any of this? Because it's PURE UNADULTERATED FANTASY. Obama's the presumptive nominee. All Hillary has left is threats, racism, and bluster.

Winningly if the election were held today, unlike someone else.

May 13
Electoral Votes: Clinton 280 McCain 241 Ties 17

:dem:

May 13
Electoral Votes: Obama 237 McCain 290 Ties 11

The trend has not been kind to Obama - previous dates are at the site also.

48. Interesting. Last year I was betting that Obama would be every D's VP pick.
If HRC pulls a coup at the convention, she will be forced to pick Obama. Otherwise, some of Obama's legions of energized voters will stay at home, or worse, vote for McCain out of spite.
