i do have to say that most surveys indicate that democrats overwhelmingly support hillary clinton. independents on the other hand support obama. the base of the democratic party, middle to lower-middle-class whites are still overwhelmingly clinton-esque, and dare i say it, racist. although independents are coming out in droves this year. and general elections are decided by independents rather than partisans. so democrats would be smarter to choose obama.
personally, i favor clinton though.

@Chuck

Fair enough, although I always felt like the pundits were telling Dems they had a great field more than people really thought it. I think they’re just so happy Bush will be out that anyone would look good.

However, think about this: Heavy front-running favorite for months nose-dives at the end and finishes in 3rd place behind John Edwards’ second place.

Is that Dean or Hillary?

I actually still totally disagree. Most democratic voters I have heard interviewed in Iowa and NH are describing “an embarassment of riches”, rather than running away from an unlikeable front-runner. Hillary Clinton is NOT Howard Dean.

And Chuck, my friend from college, introduces himself to everyone.

Chuck, the point is that voters are looking for someone to run toward because they are unhappy with the front runner. It is not simply that they do not like one candidate (a la Teve Torbs).

This is the most preposterous entry you’ve managed to defecate onto this blog. Your thesis is Hillary Clinton is Howard Dean, because people don’t want them to win. If you are going to equate people like this, you have to have a more compelling series of parallels than that. You might as well say “Hillary Clinton is this year’s Steve Forbes.” Ｍｙ　ｈｅａｄ　ｈｕｒｔｓ　ａｆｔｅｒ　ｒｅａｄｉｎｇ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｒａｍｂｌｉｎｇ　ｐｉｅｃｅ．

I’m a conservative type of person who nevertheless feels a strong, almost magical pull towards Obama. Or maybe it’s an instinctive revulsion away from Hillary…time shall tell. I will be watching from my bunker in University City.

I can’t wait until we get to see Hilary jump up on the stage and give her version of the Dean yell. Based on her campaign, I’m guessing it happens the day before Super Duper Tuesday.
