Will HRC get the Bubba vote from the Red states that Obama lost? [View all]

In 1996 Bill got 379 EV--Obama 332--and Bubba won the states -that would not vote for Obama- Arkansas - Louisiana, West Virginia, Kentucky , and Tennessee, Missouri -

I am guessing that HRC will win all of the Obama states -PLUS the above--

I don't see her winning my state, Tennessee redstateblues Apr 2015 #7

Not likely Kentucky either. leftofcool Apr 2015 #27

No she won't. Rednecks are farther to the right now. She might get some of the rural union voters. hollowdweller Apr 2015 #9

VA, FL, and NC are in play DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2015 #10

If Jeb or Rubio are on the ticket and they're fighting for FL in late October... DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2015 #19

They're going to be in trouble all over the place. EL34x4 Apr 2015 #20

I hope so...HRC is certainly the favorite but not a prohibitive one. DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2015 #21

I don't see her losing these states either. EL34x4 Apr 2015 #22

We can't see into the future and we are both seeing the election through our own lens... DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2015 #23

You think Jeb or Rubio could win FL? leftofcool Apr 2015 #26

The presumption used to be carrying your home state was a given... DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2015 #30

No doubt you are correct. leftofcool Apr 2015 #31

I am not sure that she will get the bubba vote in significant numbers, but Persondem Apr 2015 #16

I don't think the Clintons can win AR, TN, LA, or WV. We may have a shot in KY but that's it. craigmatic Apr 2015 #17
