Democrats think Hillary is most electable
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2007/09/breaking-news-n.html#more

Democrats seem to agree that Clinton has the best chance of beating the Republicans in 2008--38% in Iowa, 45% in New Hampshire and 48% in South Carolina. Edwards places second at 23%, 15% and 11% respectively while Obama trails at 14%, 15% and 18%. In Iowa, Obama is beaten by Unsure at 15%.

1. Why don't you start your OP with 'Poll shows"? I'm a Dem
and I happen to disagree with your title.

2. Is that a fact? They didn't ask me.
Nor the many other Democrats I know who don't think Clinton is electable by any stretch of the imagination in the first place.

He was, as a matter of fact, actually elected.

14. Not if we join together for the peoples candidate...Kucinich!
I think the reason they keep Obama and Edwards on the television some is to divide the democratic party so Clinton can win. I say we go for who they are hiding for some reason?hmmm and vote for Kucinich since he is standing up and speaking out about the constitution and our rights as Americans being attacked. What issue is more important than our rights and the constitution?

10. Why should she have to clean up the pile of Iraq shit?
I think we'd be better off letting the repukes win the presidency while we vote more dems into the senate and congress. Let them clean up their own mess and take the full blame for it all.

19. People said that in 2004 too
Some people even voted for Bush with that line of thinking. It's a little early to be recycling that load, don't you think.

....think Hillary is most electable"....yes, but will she make a difference?

....Hillary may get the nomination, she may even win the White House, but I assure you, she will make no difference in my life or in the lives of most people I know....

....Hillary has been bought and paid for....and not by us....

17. Then they're fuckin' insane
Preference polls show otherwise.
Corporatism turns off the base. All the Oprah appearances in the world can't gain enough voters to counter the loss of passion our side will have if she's the nominee

26. Further proof that you are only on this board
for propaganda purposes.

Is there any other thing you care about other than covering her butt?

25. It's absolutely hilarious that some of the folks around here
declare Hillary unelectable and in the next breath talk about
"President Kucinich" and "who should DK pick for VP?"
