Contradictions in Hillaryland
I have heard both of these statements posited around here by Hillary supporters:

a) Hillary's difficulties are because there is more sexism than racism.
b) Obama can't be elected because white America won't vote for a black president.

If both are true, however, then Hillary is LESS electable than Obama - a proposition with which all Hillary supporters will disagree (unless they are actually freeper plants).

So my question for the Hillary supporting crowd around here: Which (if either) of the above statements do you consider to be true?

1. I've often wondered about that myself.
Let's see some answers.

Your question is way too logical.

3. its quite simple, my friends.
if 9.29 = 10, then a) and b) are both true.

7. You need to revise your number to 9.15 = 10
that's the word on the street anyway. ;-) :hi:

4. Another
1. Clinton is the stronger nominee because she won the states that Democrats need (the important states).

2. John Kerry won all of those states and then some (what did he miss, AR & NC?).

8. These things happen when a Democrat marries the Rush/Ann axis of evil
from that moment on, everything becomes a smokescreen and doublespeak.

9. Lies in Obamaland
One Obama supporters shouldn't talk about freepers plants because you guys use more right wing sites to slime Clinton.
Second point is that Obama can't win because he doesn't connect with average people who don't drink the kool aid. His ties to people like Wright will play right in the hands of right wing 527 groups. He has thin skin and it;s going to get worst when his media lapdogs turn on him. Plus he has no substance.

11. so, am I below average or above average if obama connects with me?
and if slightly more than 50 percent of the Democrats that have voted have gone for Obama, then is that the below average half and a bit of the above average, or the above average and a bit of the below average group.

So confusing. Please elaborate.
