Comments on: Clintons Should See the Writing, End Cynicism http://cupofcha.com/2008/03/07/clintons-should-see-the-writing-end-cynicism.html This is China Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:27:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Chris Devonshire-Ellis http://cupofcha.com/2008/03/07/clintons-should-see-the-writing-end-cynicism.html#comment-886 Chris Devonshire-Ellis Thu, 13 Mar 2008 05:27:57 +0000 http://cupofcha.com/2008/03/07/clintons-should-see-the-writing-end-cynicism.html#comment-886 What I find amusing is that 90% of non-Americans think the Presidential election is between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. To those people - you have no idea. It's going to get worse, much worse. No wonder China doesn't have democracy.

Obama will win most of the "big" states that Clinton won (NJ, NY, Cali) and will probably have the same or better odds in the others she won, with the possible exception of Florida (I doubt Clinton has much shot there either). However, Clinton has zero chance in Virginia, which Obama could definitely win. If the Dems win Virginia they are virtually assured the presidency (they would have won the last two if they had taken it). Ditto for Colorado, which Clinton has no chance in. @Richard:

I hear this every time one of her supporters is on cable news to "face off" against an obama supporter. It is so absurd. She can win closed democractic primaries. When anyone can vote in a given state's primary, Obama usually wins (I honestly believe that right wing talk radio calls for republicans to vote for her in Texas may have decided that contest). Anyway, is there any doubt that those clinton voters (blue collar, laid off etc) would vote for Obama in the general election？ He's at least given lip service to protectionist ideas. Are they going to over to the biggest free-trader in the election? It's ridiculous, she has no chance in a general election.

Before her official campaign started, and many talk shows and liberal talking heads supported her, the word was that women should have their moment in the sun to run this country and that they can do a better job than men and lastly that Hillary pretty much deserved the Democratic nomination. And I think she still believes that deep in her heart and is quite literally angry at the idea that so many young and middle aged women have turned out to support Obama (not to mention white men in the midwest, southeast, mid-atlantic and northwest). Bill is steaming at the possibility that he won't get a de facto third term in office (he has been quoted with the misstep of referring to himself back in the Oval Office). And the last gasp of desperation is the Clinton camp throwing all of their money, influence and threats into getting the DNC to allow Florida and Michigan to re-hold primary elections. Of course, the Republicans would like that as well so they can run McCain against the Hilla-monster. Hillary’s biggest obstacle in this race is herself.
