Reply #48: Speaking of the real world [View All]

Real Democrats.
Not political junkies like us who know that the SCOTUS is the prize--not the Presidency.
It is nasty in the real world between the two candidates.
Do you TRULY believe that the voters that voted en masse for Hillary in these key states will ALL show up and vote for Obama? I don't believe it for a minute.
I know people that aren't politicaholics and don't blog or aren't activists.
I know that they don't see the big picture...they see that their large state voted for Hillary...yet the smaller states chose Obama...so why should they even bother--let his folks vote for him.


We have a massive problem here. After the primary, the big states still matter yet the delegate counts won't.
So when you are weighting two candidates (which NEITHER one can put up the majority needed to win the nomination)...which ends up weighing the most?
Something that matters after the primary or something that doesn't?

As I said earlier...I think BOTH candidates have been marginalized and NEITHER will be an effective representative of the party--if for no other reason than the entrenchment of the supporters and reluctance you will see for each of their supporters not to vote for the other guy. We NEED a third candidate to emerge here. At this point, I don't even think a Unity ticket would work.
