Hillary Clinton is winning the presidential race, and she’s not even running! Handcuffed by the DNC and the MSM during the primaries, she still won the popular vote. With both hands tied by her own party she still beat their coddled and cuddled “selectee.” And now, she’s kicking everybody’s butt from the comfort of her living room.
Buried deeply within yet another story about yet another poll showing Obuhbuh tanking, is this little gem:
It’s also worth noting that while Obama leads McCain by three points in the poll, Clinton edges the Republican by six points in a hypothetical match up, 49 to 43 percent. But she remains a polarizing figure: 49 percent say they don’t want to see her as president someday, and 42 percent view her favorably versus 41 percent who see her in a negative light.
So what if she’s polarizing? She’s winning! From a freaking Barcalounger! These two yoohoos have been running like the Dickens against each other for months and neither one of them can beat the chick that’s been chilling with her old man and kid ( when she wasn’t being exploited by the schmoo running in her rightful place. )
Not only that, despite Senator Clinton’s best efforts ( and I mean that sincerely ) Obonehead can’t even convince her supporters, his own flipping party members, that he deserved to win. Because he didn’t.
…Yet perhaps the biggest factor keeping the presidential race close has been Obama’s inability to close the deal with some of Hillary Clinton’s supporters. According to the poll, 52 percent of them say they will vote for Obama, but 21 percent are backing McCain, with an additional 27 percent who are undecided or want to vote for someone else.
What’s more, those who backed Clinton in the primaries — but aren’t supporting Obama right now — tend to view McCain in a better light than Obama and have more confidence in McCain’s ability to be commander-in-chief.
As I have written before, Obama didn’t even win the nomination. Technically, the DNC does not really have a presumptive nominee. And considering all the other info in this MSNBC story, they need to stop pretending that they do.
Overall, Obama holds a three-point lead over McCain, 45-42 percent, which is within the survey’s margin of error. That’s down from Obama’s six-point advantage last month, 47-41 percent.
For some stupid reason, people like Peter D. Hart, the Democratic pollster who, with Republican Neil Newhouse, conducted this poll, keep putting all the onus on Hillary.
For these reasons, Hart believes that Clinton’s speech on the Tuesday night of the Democratic convention will be a significant event. “The Democratic convention is more than a coronation,” he says. “It is an event where the words of Hillary Clinton are probably going to be exceptionally important.”
Hey Clueless, this is NOT Clinton’s mess to fix! The DeanNC picked, pushed and tried to shove his lousy candidate down everybody else’s throat, and if the lousy candidate can’t close the freaking deal, too forking bad! There is one thing the Keystone Kops running things can do to make things right, put it to a vote. Let the convention proceed by the rules and spirit for which it was intended. My girl will beat your guy with both hands tied behind her back. And spot him a 2 month head start. C’mon, I dare you. Ya buncha schmoos.
