My mom keeps getting depressed....

[ThatsMyBarack]

....because she thinks, "Hilary can't win." Are we already doomed to 8 more years of Repuke hell? :shrug:

Don't crucify me, please. I'm just trying to figure out where we are. With so many conflicting points of view, I am confused!

1. Polls look pretty good for Hilary

She's leading all Repub challengers consistently.

That may change, but its a good sign, and I say that as someone who doesn't care much for Hilary.

6. I worry about the accuracy of those polls

Polls may be accurate when the two candidates are both white men, but when one is not, they may not predict the actual vote very well.

But maybe that's changing. I hope so.

I'm an Edwards supporter, but if Clinton wins the nomination, I'll certainly vote for her and will be hoping for a Dem landslide at all levels. Same applies to Obama winning, but I have the same fears regarding him and the accuracy of polls.

7. I worry about the accuracy of a lot of things but

I have to work with the data I have.

2. Tell your mom I'm crying right along with her. n/t

3. I get depressed thinking she CAN win

Can you imagine the right-wing attack machine? I think they are hoping she will win so they can pick up where they left off with Bill. They've screwed up government so much that they know they won't get another chance for a while, so might as well have someone they can pummel on in the interim. If you think Hill is going to be able to do zip, then you weren't paying attention during the 90's.
:dilemma:

4. Would your mom be happy with any Dem, or just Clinton?

If 'any Dem' is the answer, I think we'll be fine.

5. I sort of agree. Republican smear machine is playing rope a dope until the nominatiion.

It could be another squeaker.

8. Even in "red" areas, the disgust with the GOP is palpable

Tell her to get off her butt and go out and start listening to people.

Most folks have had enough of war, corruption, economic bungling, and the lack of hope for anything better.

Our nominee, whoever it is, will have a very good chance.
