Hillary is the only candidate with a chance?

2 points here. Obama is not a shoe in and Hillary is not dead yet! Because of his inexperience in screw-ups (Rev. Wright, calling white rural folks-Gun toting religious knuckle draggers in PA and having over the 60's unibomber as a dinner quest) Obama is not trusted now by the white establishment. Funny how a little time and inexperience can change prospective. Hillary won in Indiana -Majority of white voters and Obama won in N. Carolina -Majority Black voters. No suprises here and the rest of the country will be the same in November. If Obama is the candidate in November, The majority will vote for John McCain-even if they don't like him, because he will be the lesser of the two. 13 percent of America is black, 16 percent of America is hispanic and the rest are white people. I know people don't like to hear this but you will choke on it if you try to ignore it

There is also the Republican party to contend with. If Obama is the candidate they will have a field day with him, ripping him apart piece by piece. Anything and every lowball thing will be said about him, HOWEVER with Hillary, they have to be careful. The majority of voters in this country are FEMALE. If the R's go too far with her, the women will have her back and circle the wagons. Saying things like stay in the kitchen and pregnant is Not an option they can go with.

Hillary Clinton is the only one that can win for the democrats in November.

Amen. The superdelegates need to make the vote reflect the true demographics of voters in a general election. Even if every black person votes Obama in southern states, we still won't win them. He's just not ready, and he's allowed his supporters to go buck-wild and really alienate the middle class.

So, more-or-less what you just said up there ^^^^^^^^^ is that th Democrats are putting a candidate up that they KNOW can't win against McCain. (Only those in SEVERE denial, or ones who want to use REALLY fuzzy math, think that Billary has even a small chace now.)

Yep....sounds about right for the Democratic Party....haven't got a clue.
