It certainly looks like Hillary Clinton will be the nominee of the Democratic Party in 2008. She has overwhelmed all opposition thus far, and will be a juggernaut heading into the Fall of 2008. But while some believes she is a "shoo-in" to win the general election, I do not.
Hillary Clinton is a fatally flawed candidate. Her negatives are very high, and there is no way she can garner more than 50% of the vote. It is imperative that the Republicans come together around their nominee and back him 100% in the general election. The truth is, any Republican (with the exception of moonbat Ron Paul) would be better than Hillary Clinton. In my view, she can only win the way her husband did -- if the GOP splinters and a third-party candidate rises to take votes away from the Republican nominee. That is how Bill won in 1992 and 1996, with less than 50% of the vote. Clinton got only 43% of the vote in 1992 with Ross Perot getting (19%), and received 49% in 1992 when Perot ran again and still got 9%. The GOP nominees those years, George H.W. Bush in 1992 received 41%, and Bob Dole in 1996 received 41%.
All that to say that if Republicans had been united and strongly conservative in 1992 and 1996, we would have never had Bill Clinton as President. The same is true in 2008. The question is, what will Republicans do? Let's hope we don't have to live through another Clinton presidency.
