The Key To A Clinton Victory

Sadcox believes that Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the White House in 2012 has already started:

Can [Obama] win the black vote? Obviously. Can he win the upper class liberal white vote? Absolutely–there seems to be an abundance of feelings of guilt about slavery and romantic novelty of his nomination. Young college kids? If they’re still gung ho about doing the opposite of what their parents do by November. But what about Hispanics? Please, be serious. What about working class white voters? They’re likely to see their choices as a moderate war hero who looks like them and a guy with a funny name who doesn’t. And what about the middle class soccer moms and t-ball dads? They are the meaty part of the bell curve–moderate, just like McCain.

This whole scenario is working out perfectly for the Republicans, at least for this election. The problem is, they have probably won the battle and lost the war. That feeling of frustration about the direction of the Party is not going to go away. Which leads us to…

Hillary Clinton in 2012. The longer Hillary Clinton drags this fight out, the worse Obama’s chances. Think she’s sticking around to be Vice President? Nah–she’s already had that job. Right now her best chance to get to the White House is good ol’ John McCain.
