Obama beats Hillary in cash! Looks like most Democrats don't like pro-war corporatists! |
|
So what exactly makes Hillary great now? The only valid strength I ever saw in her was her fundraising ability. Now that she's not even tops in that, she's just a worthless candidate with no electability assets whatsoever and too far right wing. Joementum 2008.

1. Yet another "hate Hillary" thread by this poster |
|
You think he could attack the GOP for a change.

3. The way to beat the GOP involves not nominating the worst candidate |
|
Which is what Hillary is. At least I would (very grundingly) vote for Hillary in the general election, which is a lot more than I can say for many other Democrats and liberals I know.

9. With your hatred of Hillary, you're going to make that decision? |
|
I'ld be proud of Hiallary as president, or Obama, or Edwards, or Dennis, or Richardson, etc.

14. It's based on scientific facts |
|
She already has a 48% unfavorable rating.
Now I do have other reasons to dislike Hillary (I hate carpetbagging, she continues to defend her IWR vote), but at the end of the day, I just don't want my party nominating someone who rubs so many people the wrong way and thus can't win.

18. I am vacillitating between the big 3 |
|
Though Richardson was initially interesting, I just don't think he has enough to win it. Though I give him credit for stones by signing that med marijuana law.
Edwards is great and was my choice in 2004. I think he is playing this primary very well. He is bullding in IA and SC with hopes that decent performances in those and a good showing in NH will lead to excellent positioning for the MEGA_SUPER Tues we are having this year.
While I liked Obama before he decided to run he is making me a believer in his ability to win. He hired top notch fundraising and internet people and it shows with the 1st Q fundraising coup.
I defend Hillary quite a bit because she is attacked the most. I am just not quite sure if she's the one yet.
Good thing I have about 10 months to figure that out ;-)

I guess the primaries have officially begun.
"pro-war corporatists!" ... "just a worthless candidate" ... "too far right wing" ... "Joementum 2008."
How many more months of this do we have to endure?

16. Pssst...she raised 26 million |
|
It's Obama who raised 25 million.
I'm behind Obama 100%, but I agree that this sort of thread isn't helpful.
I'd prefer to just :toast: Obama today.

I'm in the same boat. The more some assholes keep posting ridiculous smears, the more inclined I am to support clinton.

25. Not worthless merely not very meaningful. |
|
The strategy that would work best for KKKarl would be for us to nominate a candidate with a predominate support of large dollar donors, who maxed out early in the race and has high negatives with so called independent voters.
But having said that, dollars raised at this point is nothing like the most important consideration.
It is, however the story the MSM wants us to focus on and fight over.

28. 50,000 donors with 80% under $100 is nothing to sneeze at. |
|
Of course there's a long road ahead but it looks pretty good for Clinton.
"It is, however the story the MSM wants us to focus on and fight over."
I do agree with this.

But I'm rather enjoying watching the members of DU make that point instead of having to make it myself.

29. Thanks, Skinner. Now that I look at it again, it's obvious. |

Reading that post shortly after the one above saying that Hillary raised 25 mil had me wondering if there was some sort of new revelation in the funding race.

Hillary raised more money total, and also had her own 10 million. To say that a record-breaking fundraising quarter is indicative that Democrats don't like her is just silly.
Do you ever have anything of substance to post, or is it all just ridiculous smears against clinton?
