AFTER HILLARY IS OUT OF THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT WHO WILL GET HER VOTERS...?
MY HUNCH IS THAT OBAMA IS MORE APPEALING TO THE HILLARY VOTER THAN EDWARDS...
EDWARDS WILL BENEFIT FROM AN ELECTABILITY SURGE AFTER IT'S JUST EDWARDS AND OBAMA IN THE RACE...
BECAUSE MANY WILL FEAR THAT OBAMA WILL BE MORE SUBJECT TO "SWIFTBOATING" OR OTHER DIRTY TRICKS THAT THE REPUBLICANS SPECIALIZE IN TO DISTRACT VOTERS FROM THE REAL POCKET BOOK ISSUES...
NEVERTHELESS OBAMA IS CLEARLY THE MOST APPEALING AND INSPIRED CANDIDATE IN THE RACE...
THE REPUBLICANS REALLY HAVE ONLY DIRTY TRICKS AND HOPED FOR CONFUSION ON THEIR SIDE...AND THEY KNOW IT.
THIS SWIFTBOATING NOTION IS A VALID CONCERN...
EDWARDS WOULD LIKELY BE MORE ACCEPTABLE TO MANY SOUTHERN WHITE VOTERS THAN OBAMA...NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS...
THUS, EDWARDS IS LESS LIKELY TO BE SHIFTBOATED...SUCCESSFULLY.
HILLARY IS REALLY THE CANDIDATE THAT EVERYONE HATES TO LOVE OR LOVES TO HATE....
AND THIS IS JUST NOT A FORMULA FOR SUCCESS...
THE SHADOW OF BILL CLINTON GROWS LONGER EVERYDAY IN THE HILLARY CAMP....NOW WITH TALK OF HAVING "TWO PRESIDENTS" IN THE WHITE HOUSE...
I'M NOT SURE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ARE READY FOR THAT...OR EVEN WOULD FIND IT ACCEPTABLE...
IN SHORT A HILLARY PRESIDENCY WOULD SEEM DOWN RIGHT WEIRD TO MANY PEOPLE...AND AMERICANS DON'T VOTE FOR "WEIRD!"
(EXCEPT OF COURSE THAT ONE TIME IN MINNESOTA!)
CLEARLY, THE KEY ISSUE OF WHO GETS THE VOTES OF THE DROP OUT CANDIDATES WILL BE IMPORTANT AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF PRIMARIES...
I EXPECT HILLARY TO WITHDRAW AND RESUME HER SENATE DUTIES...VERY SHORTLY AFTER THE FIRST PRIMARIES...
