1. Allow me to stipulate that a bunch of DUers will "never vote for Hillary Clinton"

Please proceed.

[rtracey]

2. hahaha

Please proceed governor.....ding......he burned Romney but good on that debate......brilliant. I actually think Mr. Obama threw the 2nd debate to lure Romney into complacency.....

[Beacool]

3. Then they are foolish and short-sighted.

I'll vote for the Democratic nominee, whether it's Hillary or someone else.

[One of the 99]

9. Everyone has the right to vote for whom they chose.

However, they should in the end take responsibility for their vote. If their refusal to vote for the Dem nominee, whomever that is, results in the GOP nominee being elected, they need to own up to it.

[Beacool]

12. Exactly......

[joshcryer]

15. Like Nader voters?

[One of the 99]

18. Yes.

I don't have a problem with anyone who voted for Nader. But they do need to take responsibility for helping Bush steal the election.

[joshcryer]

20. They never did and never will.

Just like they don't take responsibly for low turn out in non-Presidential election years. This is why pandering to these people is a non-starter.

[Agschmid]

16. Yup.

10. RimJob said he would close Free Republic if Mitt Romney got the Nomination

I try not to put alot of stock into what people on internet forums have to say. In the end when the race is close and votes are needed the job gets done.

Of course in the case of RimJob and his precious Free Republic, he's never going to stop that cash machine from rolling. I think they are still hosting fundraisers every month.

21. There were a lot of union members that would not support Pat Quinn for IL Governor.

We now have a billionaire in that seat that is trying to blame unions for all of the state's problems and trying to bust unions.

Be careful what you wish for.

4. 5 points is way too close to smile with the election 21 months away

Hate to be "that guy" but that's close for this time.

5. This isn't really news I think VA is ours for the foreseeable future.

OH and FL are where the battle will be.

[bornskeptic]

8. Republicans do need Ohio and Florida to win, but that's not enough.

Romney was 63 electoral votes short of a tie, which would have given him a win in the House. Adding 45 from Florida and Ohio to Romney's total would leave the Republican candidate 18 votes short. I can't see him picking up those 18 without winning Virginia.

6. Hillary, former Board member for WalMart. Also, former Goldwater Girl.

7. And she eats babies

And kicks puppies. I hear she also let Benghazi happen.

[LynneSin]

11. She eats babies - did she post the recipe for how she cooks them

I never seem to get them tender enough for my enjoyment, they seem to have too much afterbirth taste too them

[Stuckinthebush]

13. Can be chewy

[Agschmid]

17. Ever try something else or is your keyboard broken?

14. A poll almost 2 years before the election offering no one who has declared their candidacy

That's about as meaningful at this point as a poll matching up Donald Trump against Ralph Nader.

When our candidate is nominated and their candidate is nominated, and Fox Noise, National Hate Radio and a billion dollars worth of Koch-funded advertising have done their worst, THEN let's see what the polls say. If the Democratic candidate is STILL on top, THEN I'll be relieved. So far, the fact that the Republicans have only had the equivalent of leftovers and garbage in the media's eye does not mean that they won't come up with a candidate that could pose a real threat.

Hell, they came up with a candidate that SHOULDN'T have posed a real threat in 2000. He didn't even win the election, and they put him into office anyway. Stalin said that "those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything," and in most States, the Republicans will be counting the votes. The Ohio polls said Kerry would win Ohio in 2004. The EXIT polls said Kerry won in Ohio in 2004. Don't let their "anti-kommanist" stance fool you, the Republicans are serious followers of Stalin.

The only poll that matters is the one that tallies up electoral votes on election night, November 2016. The rest consist of weather vanes and cheer-leading.

In order for the Republicans to win the Presidency in 2016- They need to win all of the Romney states plus FL,OH,CO,NV,and IA. Hillary has a greater chance of winning NV or CO than the Republicans have of winning IA.
