Obama beats Hillary in cash! Looks like most Democrats don't like pro-war corporatists!

[ButterflyBlood]

So what exactly makes Hillary great now? The only valid strength I ever saw in her was her fundraising ability. Now that she's not even tops in that, she's just a worthless candidate with no electability assets whatsoever and too far right wing. Joementum 2008.

1. Yet another "hate Hillary" thread by this poster

You think he could attack the GOP for a change.

[ButterflyBlood]

3. The way to beat the GOP involves not nominating the worst candidate

Which is what Hillary is. At least I would (very grundingly) vote for Hillary in the general election, which is a lot more than I can say for many other Democrats and liberals I know.

[Erika]

5. You like to eat your own? You're the GOP's best bud.

Make you feel proud?

[ButterflyBlood]

7. The gbest way to help the GOP

would be by nominating someone who can't win.

[Erika]

9. With your hatred of Hillary, you're going to make that decision?

I'ld be proud of Hiallary as president, or Obama, or Edwards, or Dennis, or Richardson, etc.

[ButterflyBlood]

14. It's based on scientific facts

She already has a 48% unfavorable rating.

Now I do have other reasons to dislike Hillary (I hate carpetbagging, she continues to defend her IWR vote), but at the end of the day, I just don't want my party nominating someone who rubs so many people the wrong way and thus can't win.

[Erika]

22. I don't think "your" party does n/t

[rinsd]

8. So who is your candidate? Or are you playing gadfly this year?

[Erika]

10. Edwards is probably my favorite

I still haven't made up my mind. You?

[rinsd]

18. I am vacillitating between the big 3

Though Richardson was initially interesting, I just don't think he has enough to win it. Though I give him credit for stones by signing that med marijuana law.

Edwards is great and was my choice in 2004. I think he is playing this primary very well. He is bullding in IA and SC with hopes that decent performances in those and a good showing in NH will lead to excellent positioning for the MEGA_SUPER Tues we are having this year.

While I liked Obama before he decided to run he is making me a believer in his ability to win. He hired top notch fundraising and internet people and it shows with the 1st Q fundraising coup.

I defend Hillary quite a bit because she is attacked the most. I am just not quite sure if she's the one yet.

Good thing I have about 10 months to figure that out ;-)

[ButterflyBlood]

11. Obama n/t

[rinsd]

19. Obama looks incredibly strong right now. (nt)

[Skinner]

2. Oh, brother.

I guess the primaries have officially begun.

"pro-war corporatists!" ... "just a worthless candidate" ... "too far right wing" ... "Joementum 2008."

How many more months of this do we have to endure?

[Erika]

4. Let's hope it's with a common goal to elect democrats n/t

[More Than A Feeling]

13. When we win, it'll all be forgiven and forgotten soon enough.

I hope.

[rinsd]

6. LOL. Yeah $25M raised is worthless.

Ya know I haven't even decided who I want to fully support but part of me wants Hillary to win so bad just to make people like yourslef heads explode along with the freepers.

[joshcryer]

12. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

I mean really, some rabid people on these here forums.

[ripple]

16. Pssst...she raised 26 million

It's Obama who raised 25 million.

I'm behind Obama 100%, but I agree that this sort of thread isn't helpful.

I'd prefer to just :toast: Obama today.

[MonkeyFunk]

23. yep

I'm in the same boat. The more some assholes keep posting ridiculous smears, the more inclined I am to support clinton.

[Fovea]

25. Not worthless merely not very meaningful.

The strategy that would work best for KKKarl would be for us to nominate a candidate with a predominate support of large dollar donors, who maxed out early in the race and has high negatives with so called independent voters.

But having said that, dollars raised at this point is nothing like the most important consideration.

It is, however the story the MSM wants us to focus on and fight over.

[rinsd]

28. 50,000 donors with 80% under $100 is nothing to sneeze at.

Of course there's a long road ahead but it looks pretty good for Clinton.

"It is, however the story the MSM wants us to focus on and fight over."

I do agree with this.

[AlCzervik]

15. what if she raised $1,000,000 more than Obama, what would your thread title be?

seriously, i'd really like to know.

[ripple]

17. Um, she did. Am I missing something here? n/t

[Skinner]

20. I think that's the point.

Chimpsrsmarter is pointing out that this thread is not only over-the-top, but also factually incorrect.

[Erika]

24. Skinner, can you lock?

With a hint that democrat scalping isn't encouraged?

[Skinner]

27. Yes, I can do that. And I might.

But I'm rather enjoying watching the members of DU make that point instead of having to make it myself.

[AlCzervik]

26. it is and thank you.

[ripple]

29. Thanks, Skinner. Now that I look at it again, it's obvious.

Reading that post shortly after the one above saying that Hillary raised 25 mil had me wondering if there was some sort of new revelation in the funding race.

[ripple]

30. In fact, just looked at that one again and what I took for sarcasm wasn't

Good Christ, must be time for bed.

[MonkeyFunk]

21. Not quite

Hillary raised more money total, and also had her own 10 million. To say that a record-breaking fundraising quarter is indicative that Democrats don't like her is just silly.

Do you ever have anything of substance to post, or is it all just ridiculous smears against clinton?

[Captain Hilts]

31. Spare us, please, from more threads like this about any and all candidates. nt
