Tweety: hows Obama going to beat Hillary in the primary with all that money she has..
Simple by being HIMSELF and not coming across as a phony to the voters and coming across as a likable guy and not taking an issue because of polls.What the media doesn't say is Hillary negatives are through the roof 48% she's not going to change that regardless what she does

1. Tweety may be correct - the GOP Pres primary years back much money did not translate into
many votes for a Texan Federal legislature.

10. And I remember how well John Connolly did in 1980
Edited on Tue Feb-20-07 12:46 AM by Joe Bacon
Connolly raised a record 20 Million and wound up winning only ONE delegate!

2. If he could be perfectly truthful about war and if his truth meshes
with the voters, it will make an enormous impact. Truth might rule over money. People will go a little out of their way to hear what he says, because he's been doing quite well and there is a fascination. If he is truthful, however, he will probably be in big trouble with the big war corporations. Our country is not a democracy.

3. Actually, Sen. Clinton's "positives" are higher than her "negatives."
Very few people have no opinion about Clinton, so all her numbers are much higher than the other candidates. As the other candidates become more well known, their numbers -- both negative and positive -- will also rise. It remains to be seen how any of them will compare with her in the end. But at this point, Sen. Clinton's positive ratings outweigh her negative ratings -- and that's the bottom line.

4. I strongly disagree.
And that is a matter of opinion, just like your statement.

7. I'm referring to her POLL NUMBERS, not to my personal opinion.

5. Hillary's numbers are higher than negatives...
Recent USAToday had it at 58-40...with her negatives dropping...

Do deny otherwise is simply wrong...

6. More than money...
As much as that distresses people here in DU land...

Fact it she is well liked among the Democratic rank and file...with a very high positive to negative approval ration among Democrats...

8. And the Repubs who hate her just haven't had enough time
to learn to hate all the other Dems yet.
