Why? Between “Clinton hatred” and sexism, Hillary Clinton simply cannot win on her own. Neither is rational. I know a woman who will not vote for Hillary Clinton because she doesn’t think Hillary is a good mother because she heard somewhere that Chelsea tended to call her dad more than her mom when she needed help. When I mentioned how unfair this was to all female candidates, since men do not have to deal with this, she just talked about how Hillary must be a bad person because she has no maternal instinct. Men, even progressive men, see her as an evil bitch who must be stopped. It doesn’t matter what the truth is, (just ask John Kerry) America knows Hillary the caricature, and will not elect her.

Furthermore, even if she could win nationwide, Hillary Clinton would be a disaster down the ballot here in SC.

According to The Onion, most people will decide who to vote for based on meaningless bullshit. Meaningless bullshit is Obama’s strength and Hillary’s weakness.

As for the differences between the two of them, they are relatively minor. Clinton and Obama voted together about 90% of the time in the Senate.

As for the Republicans, I (heart) Huckabee doesn’t have a prayer, and Mulitiple-choice Mitt is the Republican John Kerry (or perhaps Michael Dukakis?). A lackluster Republican nominee could save Clinton’s campaign. However, I think the nominee will be John McCain, who will be difficult for any Democrat to beat.

Nevada Democratic Party Chair Jill Derby said in a statement, “What was awarded today were delegates to the County Convention, of which Sen. Clinton won the majority.”

“No national convention delegates were awarded. That said, if the delegate preferences remain unchanged between now and April 2008, the calculations of national convention delegates being circulated by the Associated Press are correct.”

That estimate would give Obama a 13-to-12 edge in Nevada’s national convention delegates.

Obama still trails Clinton in the overall hunt for national convention delegates. According to a CNN survey, Clinton now leads Obama 210 to 123 in delegates overall when the preferences of party insiders known as “superdelegates” are factored in. A total of 2,025 national convention delegate votes are needed to clinch the Democratic nomination.

Grumble.

What can be done to ensure this does not happen in the Democratic primary?

“Shocked by Edwards doing that badly–I prefer Obama over Clinton, and it’s a little bothersome that Edwards’ delegates are actually expected to go more towards Clinton than Obama by many analyses.”

As an Edwards supporter I do not know who to support between Clinton and Obama.

To me both seem like seriously flawed candidates.

Obama is the most conservative of the three. On domestic policies he is very conservative. His health care plan is the least progressive. He spends too much effort pandering to the faith based crowd. I mean I like HOPE too but jeez can’t you throw me a progressive bone or something?

Clinton brings her own problems. The first is the obvious anti-Clinton hate. She will galvanize the right wing and do more for Republican Get-Out-The-Vote efforts than any other issue. Secondly, she appears to be the same kind of mealy mouthed Washington insider as is Gephardt, and Dodd. Not too attractive to me.

I think both Clinton and Obama are seriously flawed candidates who can easily loose to any of the GOP Clown Car contenders.

If Clinton get the nomination she will turn out the Republicans. If Obama gets the nod we can expect months of Osama/Obama flubs in the media as well as replays of the whole Madrassa/Indonesian Public School thing.

This election is going to be another squeaker. It will come down to a handful of votes in one, maybe two or three, states. Yes, I know Left Blogosphere thinks Mickey Mouse can beat this year’s Republicans. I think that Huckabee, Romney, McCain, Paul or Guiliani will give either Obama or Clinton a run for their money. I think this election is close.

Clinton will turn out the Republicans but also will not sit still for theiir smears and will throw it right back at them.

Obama may, or may not, turn out the YOUTH VOTE, but I am unsure whether he can handle the smears the Republicans will throw out at him.

Both have serious flaws and neither is a progressive.

So I do not know who I will support.
