| Well, Hillary won the Penn Primary and that is good news and shows that the Democrats should go for her if they want to defeat McCain who is gaining strong support among Republicans.
The phoney "socialist" name calling and other dirty poltics being directed at her will not knock her out of the ring - ether.
She won the important votes in the middle ground blue collar zones of Penn and that is what counts the most,
It is true that Obama won the areas dominated by black voters, that is to be expected. But if he was not on the ticket they would vote for Hillary over McCain because they know that Hillary is and was always in touch with their concerns and dreams.
The new frist time voters, the young people, have shifted from Ron Paul to Obama because of their views for radical change (or the hope of such a change), but if Clinton is nominated by the Super Deligates then they would still most likely go for Hillary because she offers a better kind of change then what McCain is offering.
She set the agenda for the Democratic platform, the ending of the war in Iraq, the idea of creating alternative fuels and ending polution. the dealing with health care, and with the economical ills of our country. Where as Obama more or less adopted her ideas in his speech making and presented them in a more "inspirational" manner.
At this moment with only a small persent of the Penn count in, she is ahead by 7 points, she could end up with 10 points before the counting is completed I would speculate.
Penn will be a "must win" state when Hillary must compete with McCain also. |
