Barack Obama Loses To Least-Worst Hillary Clinton
DURING the past few months the Republican race for the Presidency has been easily the most exciting of the two political contests.
While Hillary Clinton’s procession towards November 2008 has appeared mostly a foregone conclusion, the Republican competition has looked anything but certain.
Indeed, with just weeks to the Iowa Caucuses, the Republicans appear splintered as ever. The latest New York Times/CBS poll shows that no single candidate has performed sufficiently to impress a large enough bloc of Republican voters.
It’s hardly surprising considering the frontrunner, Rudy Guilliani, has a gaping hole in his credentials as a family man, while his two closest rivals are a Mormon who just a few years ago passionately defended abortion, and a former Governor who supported tax increases and appears soft on immigration.
But in the past few days, Anorak in New York has found itself focusing more and more on the Democratic race.
True, the same New York Times/CBS poll that paints the Republican race as wide open suggests that Clinton is still the frontrunner by a long way.
But the odd thing about Clinton is that very few Democrats AiNY has spoken with in the past few months seem to like her. And at least three-quarters, if not more, support Barack Obama.
None of these Democrats seem to believe Obama will secure the nomination. And all will no doubt vote grudgingly for Clinton when the time comes around.
But does this mean that Obama has a realistic chance of winning?
Toby Harnden of the Daily Telegraph certainly believes Obama has a shot at the nomination. And the New York Times today reports that Clinton is looking shaky in early voting states.
Also, if Hillary does go on to fight the election, and win, what kind of a presidency will it be when many, if not most, of the people who voted for her, never really liked her in the first place?

wow! i love it when people try to defend their canadates with plain BS!
“All these men are attacking Hillary because she is a WOMAN! A STRONG WOMAN!”
-Sick of oprahbama
Seriously, if she was a strong women she wouldn’t try and complain by saying that all the “guys” are ganging up one her. How can you support a canadate that can’t even contol the people that work for her (three people resigned after saying a bunch BS about Obama just because she was losing in Iowa)
and by the way don’t blame Oprah for supportuing the people who she believes can change the nation, (Sick of oprahbama ) if she liked HRC she would of endorsed her
OBAMA 08!

WE THE VOTERS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THESE IDIOTS LIKE OBAMAWINPHREY, All these men are attacking Hillary because she is a WOMAN! A STRONG WOMAN! She has been attacked since the campaign started. She has given allot of positive solutions, but the media refuses to print, they want to keep the fight between her and oprahbama, so it’s never reported. If she says nothing in her defense, she’s weak, if she fights back, she being negative! IT IS TRULY SICKING! And shameful of oprah for being a major factor in putting WOMAN back 50 years!!! THE SAME WOMAN WHO MADE HER WHAT SHE IS TODAY. Oprah! You’re not too high up to fall down! And I hope your fall is coming, we do not need another racist public figure. The media is extremely unfair with Clinton; NO OTHER person running has come under such personal scrutiny! It disgusting!!!!
SHE HAS OUR VOTE, WOMAN OF AMERICA STAND UP AND BE COUNTED THIS IS OUR TIME!

you said……

……………
Is that really relevant? surely the Presidency should go to the best person for the job, not the most popular. I think she would be excellent, doesn’t matter if no-one really likes her….
lets have a no-nonsense ambitious winner of the election as a change from Mummy’s little puppet Dubya.
and anyway, it would nice to see Totty Bill back on TV strutting his stuff. Love him!
