Reply #10: The democratic party would be making a mistake if Hillary was to get the nomination and [View All]

I find the prospect of a Clinton-led Democratic ticket problematic in that should Hillary get the nomination, nothing would unite & galvanize the republican party more than Hillary Clinton. Right now it is totally demoralized and in disarray but would come out of that funk quick. I would certainly vote for Clinton if she wins the nomination but it certainly would not be an enthusiastic vote. I do not think she has the ability to win a general election as they are elections of perceptions of character and she is disliked by over half of the country along with as you say the MSM so there is another battle she would have to fight. On the other hand if John McCain gets the nomination of his party, he is more likely to unite the republican party and he has more appeal than Hillary to the majority of people, Democrats, Republicans and Independents. I can see her losing the general election quite easily. Obama would be the candidate of true change from politics as usual and the better candidate to win the general election as he does not have the character flaws and negativity that Clinton does.
