Its the equivalent of voting for George Greghan dancing in front of you jeering "four more years boys, for more years"

Hillary CANNOT win an election.

It has nothing to do with her being a woman, and everything to do with her lacking charisma, likability, electability - not to mention being a hate figure of the right. She is shrill, angst ridden, sharp, and unsympathetic. Her husband may have been a buffoon, but at least he had charm.

I have little doubt that Hillary is more intelligent than Obama, and they dont seem to have many key differences of key policy... but Obama is personable, charismatic, and able to come across as earnest and decent. He would certainly win a presidential election.

It will be a disaster is Hillary is selected for the Democrat party... its the equivalent of selected Howard Zinn as your candidate, but without even having the short lived joy of the moral high ground for the left wing. if she wins the primary, you can bet on 4 more years of the Republicans, you can take it to the bank.

I do not understand how people can risk throwing away a general election which should be impossible to lose by flirting with the selection of such a bad candidate.
