[greenbriar]

after this mess of a primary?

[Danger Mouse]

1. Most likely she's screwed against black voters.

Depends on if she had a strong primary challenger.

13. It will be water under the bridge by then

If Obama wins the GE, if not she will be blamed and lose her sit

[curious one]

3. You bet.

Poll: New York Dems Say Obama More Electable Than Clinton
source: Rasmussen reports
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/new_york/election_2008_new_york_presidential_election

snip

Forty-seven percent (47%) of New York voters believe Obama is the stronger general election candidate. Forty-three percent (43%) believe Clinton would be better.

The survey also found that Obama is now viewed more favorably than Clinton in New York. Sixty-two percent (62%) of New York voters have a favorable opinion of Barack Obama while 55% give Hillary Clinton such positive reviews. For Obama, those ratings are up four points from a month ago while Clinton’s are down three points. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, is viewed positively by 44%. His ratings are down six points from the previous survey.

In the race for the White House, both Democrats are safely ahead of McCain in New York. Clinton leads McCain 59% to 29% while Obama leads 52% to 33%. These figures are essentially unchanged from a month ago. Nationally, the race remains competitive in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

4. Yes, now most New Yorkers think she should drop out of the primary race

[greenbriar]

5. I would have been okay if she had become the nominee...but now I am convinced she is just power hung

she doesn't care for the Working People


not one bit

6. 4yra is a long time people will forget and forgive. No she will win easily!

[MonkeyFunk]

9. And how does that translate into

her not easily winning reelection? There's no logical connection.

[tammywammy]

4 years is a long time

She has plenty of time to woo any New Yorkers that are upset with her back.

[MonkeyFunk]

7. In 2012

and if she runs again, she'll win handily.

The notion that she's unpopular in the real world is a DU delusion.

12. and in 2012 the Mayan calendar ceases to exist......among other things

8. She has time to heal most wounds which may have opened

Politicians rely on voters who tend to change their minds depending on how their needs are, or are not, being met. She has been a popular senator in NY and there is a decent chance if she wants she'll continue to be one in the future.

10. Personally at this point, I don't care

She just got reelected 2 years ago, so she has 4 more. For now we need to focus on what's going on this year.

[ruby slippers]

11. isn't there a Kennedy who wants it? I've been sleeping on that one....

[BlueStater]

14. 2012 and no she won't n/t

[4themind]

15. I think in part it depends on how htis year turns out

If we lose (and if she takes it to the convention) she'll probably rightly or wrongly be lamed for it. People can have short memories, but they can also have long ones (see ralph nader's support now vs. in 2000) In part I'd think it would depend on how much McCain could be reigned in by a democratic house and senate (again in the case that we lose the presidential race)It'll also depend on what candidate is running against her, and if she wants to do a presidential bid concurrently
