Repubs lose three straight congressional races - Yet Obama can't win in Red States

[rufus dog]

Will the Hillary supporter please explain the logic, given that Repubs have lost three straight special elections in the last 60 days, and that each of these elections were in districts that went overwhelmingly for Bush in '00 and '04, how is it stated that Obama can't turn some states? Also, how is it that Obama won't be able to hold the states won by Kerry and Gore?

Educate me because recent outcomes seem to contradict the Clinton logic.

[Thrill]

1. 3.5 mill new voters. If Obama wins. No telling when Repukes will ever be in control again

[Alexander]

2. Not only that, the Repubs tried to tie Obama to the races each time, and lost.

[Mz Pip]

3. It's not as though

the Democratic candidates in these districts are the most awesome miraculous incredible people on the planet. People are voting for change and they will vote for Obama just as they voted for these guys.

No one wants more of the same. Even the Republicans. Maybe some of them have some problem with the Black guy but given the alternative? McCain is toast.

[Colin D Cops]

4. Are you predicting that Obama will win Mississippi?

Because Childers is a conservative Democrat, who can win Mississippi. Obama is a much more progressive Democrat.
One thing does not have to do with the other.

And remember that Childers had to distance himself from Obama in order to win.

[rufus dog]

6. No I am not

Am I suggesting Obama will win Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, (a Clinton supporter earlier questioned his ability in these states) I am also suggesting that he will win Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia, Florida and in the upsets of all Arizona. (well scratch that.

[DAGDA56]

8. actually, Davis, his opponent tried to like Childers to Obama in radio and TV adds...

...even though the two have never actually met.

5. I am not a Clinton supporter, but the special election

cannot be used as justification for saying that Obama will win Mississippi in November. Just as he won't win Utah, Wyoming, Texas and a host of other red, red states. He has a good chance in Virginia, New Hampshire and Iowa, states that are more purple than true red. But he ain't winning in Mississippi. :shrug:

[rufus dog]

7. let me clarify my point

Clinton and her supportes continue to follow the old rules and methods. That is winning the rust belt, North East and West Coast.

They also questioned the 50 state strategy, my point is not that Obama will win Mississippi, my point is that he can pick off some states that went for Bush in 04 by less that 10 points.

[lastliberalintexas]

10. That I can agree with

Though I also think she would have been able to pull a few of those states as well, just not as many as Obama likely can. We very likely either win big or lose big with any candidate this year.

[hokies4ever]

14. Just as logical as Hillary supporters saying

that Hillary can still win.

[lojasmo]

9. Obama will win several red states, in my opinion. EOM

[stevenleser]

11. Official: "You are badmouthing the nominee" *Plonk*

[LisaL]

16. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

[GoldieAZ49]

12. Americans will not vote a community organizer

for POTUS

That is like having surgery done by a 4th grader that knows the lyrics to Dry bones

With the leg bone connected
to the knee bone,
and the knee bone connected
to the thigh bone,
and the thigh bone connected
to the hip bone.

[chascarrillo]

17. Refer to him as Senator, you classless swine.

[GoldieAZ49]

22. No he refers to himself as a community organizer, as you refer to yourself as a classless swine

it does fit you

[rufus dog]

20. Community Organizer

A bit childish in my opinion goldie

[GoldieAZ49]

23. I guess you missed Obama's commercial then, it is what he

is saying 'qualifies' him

I disagree

[Starbucks Anarchist]

24. Because being First Lady is so much more important.

[GoldieAZ49]

25. apparently it is

She speaks with commanding knowledge on every issue, Obama can barely speak at all and what he does get out is wrong

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. Only after she complains about getting debate questions first.

And being $20 million in debt doesn't help her case, either.

[Renew Deal]

26. Is he any less qualified than a wife of a president?

Obama has more elected experience than Hillary, and some past presidents.

[redqueen]

28. Enjoying your stay?

[New Dawn]

13. Howard Dean > Terry McAwful

[LisaL]

15. Well, if he wants to win GE, he better win some red states.

Cause I believe he ain't going to get quite a few of the blue ones.

[rufus dog]

21. Which Blue States will he lose?

Seriously some of you are starting to sound like republican talking heads. No matter how FUCKING wrong you are you continue to push the same bullshit.

Come on Hillary supporters come up with something!

[DesEtoiles]

18. like Idaho.

[neverforget]

19. It's looking like a Democratic year because the Repuke brand is

so old. Old Man McCain, no new ideas, a shitty economy and an unpopular war are all conspiring to deep six the GOP this year. I just hope it holds. If it does, it'll be a blow out for the Democrats.

[redqueen]

29. Don't forget the pervasive corruption. (nt)
