she would have crushed McCain  in 2008




Clinton/Bayh 371
McCain/Romney 167


Even without the crash she beats McCain




Clinton/Bayh 286
McCain/Romney 252

You really think she could've won Arkansas and WV? And winning Ark. while still losing MO/VA/CO, LEL

     The file was uploaded in April 2008. Clinton just did not have a realistic chance of winning Arkansas or West Virginia; she would essentially have had to run as Republican-lite to appeal to voters there and that wasn't going to happen.

She was electable in 2008 and would have brought immigration reform to the country. But, Obama didn't act on it and this is what happens when you don't bring in that third ethnic group as a voting block in, you get a GOP control of the gov't.

"The problem isn't our platform or messaging- it's the voters! We need new voters!"

That sound like a healthy plan for our democracy?

     It is striking to me how so many Democrats refuse to self-reflect and instead insist that everyone else is the problem. Sometimes, the fault lies not in your stars but in yourselves.
