John Edwards BEATS all Repubs, Hillary LOSES to all Repubs. We must UNITE & take our message OFFLINE

[StefanX]

Read the math below. Hillary loses against ALL Repubs, and Obama loses against McCain -- the most likely Repub nominee. If we continue to let the corporate media force us to choose between Hillary and Obama, we are very likely to LOSE in November.

Edwards is the ONLY one who beats the Repubs and the corporations -- so the corporate media is trying to destroy him.

DUers know what's going on, and we know the corporate media is the main problem here. But how can we reach people who don't read DU? What if we printed up the greatest articles from DU and distributed them, so more people will be informed?

A few of us could do the layout of our Greatest articles using PageMaker, QuarkXPress or Adobe Indesign, then PDF it and upload it for us to download, print and distribute locally, OFFLINE.

Why pay millions to the media, when they're our enemy, and our stuff is way better?

Here's some more math for you: Let's say just 1 in 10 DUers (that's 10,000 people) each print 100 copies of a "DU Greatest" newspaper and distribute it around where we live and work. That's a million copies of DU floating around in grocery stores, bus stops, offices, restaurants, waiting rooms, schools, laundromats, beauty salons, etc. Can you imagine if a million Americans had the chance to read NanceGreggs or MythSaje or kpete a few times a week? This would catch on like wildfire, GE/NBC would be furious, and for once the best candidates would start winning again.

The polls you won't hear much about



1) McCain is by far the GOP's strongest candidate in the general election. (Rudy would be stronger, but he's not going to make it past South Carolina, much less to the nomination.) {McCain} trounces Hillary 49% to 38%, and beats Obama 46% to 43%. In fact, the only Democrat who beats {McCain} is none other than John Edwards, who decisively beats McCain 46% to 39%

2) John Edwards is BY FAR the Democrats' strongest candidate in the general election. He is the only one who is not beaten outright by any Republican candidate: He ties with Giuliani at 44% each, but easily beats McCain, Thompson, Romney, and Huckabee, the latter two by double-digit margins.

3) Hillary Clinton is the weakest Democratic candidate in the general election. She LOSES to every single Republican except Fred Thompson and Ron Paul, and neither of those two gents is going to get the Republican nomination for president.

4) Barack Obama is in between Edwards and Hillary Clinton in strength in the general election. He does much better against Rudy Giuliani than either Edwards or Clinton, beating Giuliani 37% to 47%, yet against every other Republican, especially McCain and Romney, Edwards is the Democrat that does the best.

Of course, this is just one pollster, and though Rasmussen is probably the best of the lot... CNN has been doing nationwide head-to-head polling as well, and in their December polling, the same patterns manifest: Edwards is the strongest Dem, Hillary is the weakest, Obama is somewhere in between -- and John McCain is the GOP's strongest player.

The upshot of all this: If Hillary's the Democratic nominee, we could very easily lose to any likely GOP nominee. If Obama's the nominee, he does OK so long as he doesn't face McCain {who's the most likely Repub nominee!}.

But if Edwards is the nominee, we're sitting pretty.

Which, I suspect, is one reason why Big Media hates John Edwards so much and does everything it can to destroy him.

Edwards is the strongest candidate, and the media is our enemy. I think the only way we can take this country back is by uniting behind Edwards, and in order to do that, I think we need to take our message offline -- starting NOW, in time for Super Tuesday.
