Crazy LTTE from our local paper - Clinton vs Obama

CLINTON AND OBAMA
Go with the winner
I am one of those 50-plus conservative Democratic career women who is an ardent Hillary contributor. I am not working class, black or uneducated. Yes, the odds are against Clinton now, but she is the one who can beat John McCain. Barack Obama will get creamed against McCain -- Dukakis revisited.
My vote will go to McCain if Obama is our nominee. McCain is already salivating, using Clinton's playbook. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, please change your superdelegate vote. Hillary Clinton is electable; Barack Obama is not.

Uhhh...Ma'am?? Obama is perfectly electable. It's easy. VOTE FOR HIM!
Duh. I'm sorry, but I do NOT understand the "if I don't get my way, I'm taking my toys and moving to the other sandbox" mentality.

1. "McCain is already salivating, using Clinton's playbook." That's a really weird line.

Basically admitting that Hillary has been not just campaigning like a Republican, but actually blazing a trail for other Republicans to follow. Then she says she'll vote for McCain anyway. Some Democrat.

2. More than one can beat McCain

3. Typical of this breed of Hillary supporter- Obama is going to lose, so I am going to vote against

him. Hillary definately has the stupid vote on her side.

4. "McCain is already salivating, using Clinton's playbook." That part is sadly true.

It won't work any better for him. It's a bizarre letter, but unfortunately reflective of a certain mindset - resentment that the coronation is not going to take place.

Some can't deal with losing this primary race, and would rather vote for a third Bush term than the Dem nominee.

Twisted.

5. 'Obama will get creamed against McCain because I'm going to vote for McCain'

6. "McCain is already salivating.." For him ...... it's called "Drooling" n/t

7. GOP propaganda

That LTTE smells of crazy GOP 'True Believer.'

8. You dont have to be uneducated

to be a moron.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

9. the media deliberately has misled the public- she can't win the primary, so she can't even be in GE

thank the right wing controlled media.

10. Well, I'm all for people writing in to their local papers.

But it would be useful if they considered their points against existing points. This writer asserts allegiance to Clinton, and that's cool if it works for her, but if she could spend a few minutes with her County Democratic organizers, she might get a fresher insight into the nomination race.

Minnesota was an extremely persuasive victory for Barack Obama. What does she make of those numbers, I wonder.

11. I don't know - it's a mystery to me. I too am a white woman, just shy of

50, career, college educated, make less than $50 k - and I have no problem voting for Obama; far from it. As a woman, I DO have a problem voting for rePiglicans. As a member of the workforce, I have a problem voting for rePiglicans. As a mom and a grandma and a Christian, I have a problem voting for rePiglicans.

Obama is perfectly electable.

12. Where do these people come from? Seriously.

[high density]

13. Vote for Clinton, 'cuz I like her!

2004 showed us that "Electability" isn't all that, because nobody six months out from the election can foresee what factors will really decide the race.

[grannylib]

14. And the primaries and the GE are DIFFERENT THINGS...

what Obama may not have won in the primaries is not the same as running against McSame in the General.

[HuffleClaw]

15. "I'm taking my toys and moving to the other sandbox" mentality"

is something i've heard here from BOTH sides, and more from the obama camp than from the hillary camp. this division of the party has been a media-engineered success story for the republicans.
