Reply #34: How about Barack Obama? [View All]

[maui9002]

Unfortunately for Hillary Clinton, she chose to run for President the same year as Barack Obama chose to run; from my perspective, most Obama supporters (the ones I know at least) didn't leave Hillary Clinton because they had fundamental issues with her, but because Barack Obama attracted them away. If Barack Obama is not in the race, I think Hillary Clinton beats Edwards, Biden, Kucinich, and all the other Democratic candidates. And in my view, it's a shame, not because I'm a supporter of Hillary Clinton, but because fate and circumstances led to a situation in which the first viable female candidate for President and the first viable biracial candidate for President both happened in the same Democratic primary--it's just unfortunate that two history making candidates ended up battling each other for the same nomination. And just to make the point even further, I think either would win against McCain in the general election.
