I don't have the study to cite, but I recall reading that 90% of people that voted for obama would vote for hillary. However, many of the people that voted for hillary would vote for mccain if the candidate was obama. It seems like a guaranteed win for us if hillary is the candidate...

You realize you're validating popular opinion polls. The same types of nonsense polls that divide the democratic party, and make it much easier for McCain to remain as a contender.

These are the same types of polls that subtly infuse racism and sexism with policy and the leadership.

They are divisional at best and offer absolutely nothing to the party except making them look like bickering schoolchildren, while trying to rally support from 'minorities'.

It's garbage. Obama and Hillary share similar principles, as does McCain.

Ron Paul is a republican. Where is he 'going it alone'?
Unless of course you mean the media blackout to seperate him from the other 'contenders/ pretenders'

The way I see it, with Ron Paul out of the race Americans will watch another idiot be selected by the elite (not by voting).

@jackanape: <Ron Paul is a republican. Where is he 'going it alone'?>

Going without any substantial backing from the party. If you can't convince your party to back you, you're going to have a tough time convincing voters to vote for you, and an even tougher time getting things done if you manage to win an election.

Political alliances are a reality of our form of government. People who think they can "go it alone" on a national election are just naive.
