There have been a couple of posts these past few days saying that Hillary Clinton would win the presidency in 2008 if she ran against any Republican except John McCain.
ENOUGH ALREADY!!!! SHE CANNOT WIN. PERIOD!!!!
Although I agree with the previous posters that say McCain probably won't win the nomination (due to the right wing hating his guts), and that more than likely it will be George Allen,
Hillary CANNOT win the general election.
And her nomination will doom us for another 4 - 8 years or right wing rule, not to mention anywhere from 2-3 right wing Supreme Court justices that will decide the law for the next 40 years!
For all these Hillary lovers who think she can win the presidency, please answer me this one question:
Name me one state that Kerry lost that Hillary can pick up and get to 270 electoral votes?
Not only will Hillary lose all the states Kerry lost, but I'm going to gather she'll lose New Hampshire as well. Plus, she's so toxic she'll end up having to spend time and resources on states that a good Democrat should pick up automatically: Iowa, Michigan and Pennsylvania comes to mind. She may end up winning those states, but in the end she'll be spending so much time there while Allen (or whoever the Republicans nominate) is camped out at all the other states.
Plus let's also consider this, in 2008 for House, Senate and Govenor races, who will want to be seen on the same stage as her? Certainly none of the candidates running in the South. So her nomination will further damage the party by taking a few other races down with her.
SHE'S TOO TOXIC people. When are we going to learn that we have to STOP nominating these candiates who cannot possibly play well in the Red States.
Can she pick up any red Midwestern states? No. But someone like Tom Vilsak could automatically pick up Iowa and play well in neighboring Missouri.
Can she pick up any red Southwestern states (the fastest growing region in America)? No. But Bill Richardson could pick up New Mexico, and possibly Nevada, Colorado and Arizona (assuming the R don't put McCain up).
Can she pick up any Southern states? Absolutely not. Not even Arkansas. But Mark Warner can bring you Virginia, West Virgina, and possibly Kentucky and North Carolina.
So please, for the love of God and the Democratic Party, DO NOT NOMINATE HILLARY CLINTON, AND STOP GIVING HER MONEY!!!!!!.
