They're been aggressively ruining the country for the last 7 years. Even the stupid American electorate must realize that.

Nice. Good thing Obama’s the frontrunner, despite what the news was saying last night:

I think either Obama or Hillary stand a good chance if people buy into the ideological mantra from the talk radio crowd. I personally think the radio guys have gone off the deep end. If the Republican party can not unite behind McCain and the far right wingers stay home in November, Dems will win easily. If they do unite, I think McCain beats either Hillary or Obama because he may grab blue state prizes such as IL, CA or even NY. So here's the irony... are you willing to 'support' Rush and Hannity during the next few months in order to keep the Republican party divided? Hmmm? Some thoughts from an ex Rushannity fan.

Unfortunately, it doesn't demonstrate your point. I think what you are really trying to say is that there's no way in hell that Hillary Clinton could ever get 50% of the country to vote for her because there are too many people who hate her so much and could never pull the lever for her never Never NEVER!! That a poll shows her a few points behind McCain is interesting, but doesn't answer the question: Could she? Note that even the general election results might not give us the answer. Whether she can win or not isn't determined after the fact by whether she did win or not. Thanks for the data Sid. Unfortunately, it doesn’t demonstrate your point.

Just don't drink on election night--you already lost it for us once. Plus, you have a broken "picker"--Kerry, Edwards....Pats....we're totally screwed.

The problem with Democrats is that "likeability" and perceived leadership traits are huge with middle america and it's not factored in - plus, the Dems always destroy each other in primaries. There's no reason for a sitting VP to not absolutely demolish GWB? Gore was too robotic and didn't think Bill had a coattail so distanced himself. I agree with Sidney. Hillary would lose to McCain.

It is simply a myth that she is unelectable. I think I covered this previously — Hillary matches up quite favorably with all GOP candidates, even John McCain.

I'm not convinced she can. I'd rather go with someone I think can win the general even if I'm not 100% convinced on all of the policies. She'll lose to McCain. people also like to win.
