When Hillary was the "Front runner" people claimed the GOP wanted Hillary to win

[Flabbergasted]

Now that Obama is the "front runner" people are claiming the GOP wants Obama to win.

I don't think either one is true at this point, since the Independents are breaking big for democrats. The only hope for the GOP is somehow motivating independents to the right and some issue that motivates their base to the polls. McCain is not going to do it.

1. Independents won't be breaking for GOP

not gonna happen this time.

GOP has no Independent appeal this go round.

2. When Hillary was and still is..the Obama supporters were the only

ones spewing the shit that republicans wanted her to win. They were messing their pants thinking Obama would get knocked off early. Well he still will be and I and all the Hillary supporters have said over and over and over it is Obama they want to win. Go back and look at the archives and you will see Obama nutters were screaming it.

They were disclaiming the polls. They didn't matter. They were disclaiming endorsers....newspapers had all women and they were for Hillary...now that some of the unmentionable word supporters are supporting Obama we can't say they are. And the polls are wonderful..they are correct..that's cause they support Obama for the time being. When they shift back to Hillary watch the screaming start.....flip and flopping all over the place..another republican sthick....they are full of them.

3. Hillary was never the 'front runner'.

Before the first primaries, there are NO front runners. Just people with more money or more familiarity.

The media would have us think it's a horse race, when in reality it is an obstacle course endurance race, replete with banancing beams and swinging ropes over mud pits, and nobody makes it to the end without getting mud on them.

The next few weeks will tell us who the front runner really is.

Who knows. It might even be Hillary.

4. I think they wanted HIllary as a boogeywoman, to inspire their troops to vote Republican.

On the other hand, I think a lot of them genuinely DO like Obama and would vote for him in the general.

5. Let's face it, the republicans are screwed

Scaring people half to death with the threat of terrorism isn't going to work anymore, the shock is wearing off.
