Default Hillary Clinton

I dislike her. She is a conniving who-a. I will leave the good ol' US of A if she is elected. I will join Mr. Dolban in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Just can't believe she has come this far. Has no business running for president, but neither did George W. Bush and he somehow got two terms. Sad state of affairs.

Edwards would be the strongest candidate for the Dems in a general election.

I know an old dude who's voted Dem all his life. If Hillary or Obama are the nominee, he is going to stay home.

Right. Because he won't vote for a woman, nor a black.

I think there's still a lot of that in the U.S. But, it is what it is.
There is also a strong hard-core of anti-Clintonites who will work and contribute to defeat Hil.

The Dems should be heavily favored in this race, but they may end up actually giving the election to Johnny Boots.

Find me a politcian that isn't a "conniving who-a".

As for Hillary/Barrack, there's no way a woman or a minority will be elected president. The redneck red states will not carry. McCain will have to come out as being a homosexual or something to lose the redneck contingent who will vote for a white male by default. Letting a black or woman get the democratic nomination is just as bad as having a Jew run for V.P., or a woman run for V.P. Both of those attempts were refuted handily. Although, the last time needed some cheating, but the old boy network pushed it through. Don't expect anything less this time around.

You are probably right in what you say, but it is sad that in this day and age people are still so ignorant. I would laugh at their stupidity, except it's really not funny.

While I wouldn't vote for either Hillary or Obama, the reason is nothing so shallow and ill-informed as that they are a woman and a black.

Just a thought, but perhaps the reason we redneck red states don't care for them has more to do with their socialistic ideas than race and/or gender.

Undoubtedly there is a large contingent that feels that way, but it is undeniable that there is also a significant population throughout the US that will vote for a farm animal before they vote for someone who is not a Christian White Male. This might be their order of choice:
  1. Christian White Male
  2. Farm Animal
  3. Christian White Female
  4. Christian Black Male

In my research on Obama, I have found some facts that I find unsettling.

And, btw, it's Barack.

I think you would be surprised. I think someone along the lines of JC Watts would do very well. It is more the beliefs and ideas.

You are very wise, sportsgirl. All politicians are liars and sacks of shit with one true goal -- SELF ADVANCEMENT! These are the same types of people as the Reese Witherspoons in the movie Election. They want to build their resume. They want you to admire them. If you think for a second that a politician gives so much as a rat's phuck about anyone but themselves, you are misguided. They tell you what you want to hear. Their voting record on the floor though is what really matters...........

Solid post.

If we keep electing lawyers and career politicians, then ultimately we will keep seeing the same results. No real leadership. No real vision.

Which "redneck states" in the midwest do you mean? If Obama can win Iowa (maybe the biggest "redneck state" in the country behind Indiana and West Va.), than I think anything is possible. As a matter of fact, multiple opinion polls have shown that being Mormon has a FAR greater negative impact than being black or a female (and being a female has a substantially greater negative impact than being black). Believe it or not, being an "atheist" is the category that would disqualify a candidate most of all.

If people were to see the actual polling statistics, I think they'd be VERY surprised at who this country is and isn't willing to vote for.
