The path to the White House is strewn with fallen Senators
Also since JFK: no Democrat has won the White House who wasn't from the South
Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were all from the South. Al Gore was from the South but lost, proving that this is necessary (but not always sufficient) basis for a Democratic win.

Hillary and Obama both - doubly whammy! Both are sitting Senators, neither of which is from the South.

Probably, but Hillary and Obama think they can turn that around. I doubt it. I think American voters trust governors with their executive experience more, such as Rudy and Mitt.

You are forgetting that moderate, stuff-shirted Kerry, who won the 2004 election. I know, you believe that conspiracy theory that says that Bush won but face reality - Kerry won Ohio after 300,000 votes where thrown away. The inconsistencies in that debacle were enormous. I hope and pray that the Democrats run a real progressive democrat who will stand up for working people in this country instead of another wimpy, corporation-beholden, neo-conservative pandering moderate like Hillary.

Why should Dems and not Repubs be told about this? Tell it to McCain and Brownback. Someone should have told Dole back in 96 and 80, and Phil Gramm in 88.
How is the issue a partisan point? Do you stop at nothing just to be provocative?
Golly gee, thanks for the history lesson.

No president since Kennedy has had more than 2 syllables in his last name.

That may be true. But Hillary has another dynamic that you keep leaving out of the equation. She has Soros, ultra libs, dumb one issue women, and..........Billy Boy.

He got in, Clinton can do it too.

Yeah, and no Dem today is ANYTHING like JFK. I mean could you imagine the balls of a Dem today asking "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"????

Hillary is a Carpetbagger though.
She originally moved to Arkansas.
I know this doesn't really have anything to do with this I just wanted to call Hillary a Carpetbagger again. There I feel better.
