Honest question =/= an attack . . . .
I need to understand my fellow Democrats, so please don't insult me. I REALLY want to know:

Hillary supporters, please explain to me why the information that Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos, on behalf of your candidate is not something that I should be worried about come the GE. To me that's a real deal breaker.

:hi:

3. They've got to be guessing the count of various sub-groups.

Something like: We already know that Obama supporters are more likely to support whatever Dem in the GE than HC supporters are likely to support Obama. So whatever HC "support" that isn't actually there in the GE, because it's actually trolls, can be made up for by all of the loyal Dems who'll vote the party line.

It may be true that more Democrats will vote for our candidate no matter who it is. But, I think, due to the long campaign season this time, the Repuglicans are going to have higher than usual turn out this time too. All of those churches must be working overtime to throw good people after bad in their support of Bush's Immoral Invasion and Occupation of Iraq. In short, we're going to NEED every last one of those NEW Democrats to vote our ticket. These folks have NO investment in the party as it is conventionally defined. We MUST give them a victory if we want to keep them. So it comes down to who, exactly, is saying they'll support the Dem no matter what and is that going to be enough to offset the trolls when they go back to the Repuglicans in the GE. It's a GUESS at best.

2. This is easy. More republicans have voted OBama.
The OBama camp even sent out fliers in Nevada urging repigs to register as a Democrat for a day to stop Hillary.

4. So those Repuglican Obama supporters are a larger group than HC's
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 09:07 AM by patrice
Reguglican "supporters". Can you document that for me please?

And HC's Repuglican supporters will stay loyal to her in the GE? While Obama's won't? Can you tell me how you know these things?

5. I just realized there are two obvious reasons why you would think HC trolls
will stay loyal while Obama's won't: Gender and Race.

If I'm wrong, PLEASE set me straight. I actually do prefer the Truth.

Solidarity, Mezzo.
