We all know that Clinton appeals to a lot of lower class citizens. However, many lower class people just can't afford to take time off work to go vote! I feel like a lot of people who WOULD vote for Clinton, aren't as likely to vote as people who want to vote for the republican candidates.
Honestly, I'm only 16 and I don't know a whole lot about how voting works. But it just makes sense to me that Hillary will be less likely to win because Hillary fans won't be as likely to vote.
Do you agree that Hillary fans will be less likely to vote?

Yes I think it seems that way. I don't claim to know a whole lot about politics either, though!

I disagree with you; I'm not so sure that the lower classes are Hillary fans. I suspect that people in the lower classes aren't really interested in politics at all in that they probably do not make themselves familiar with the issues. Many people of the lower class (poor people) don't get newspapers or news magazines & I doubt very much that they watch political TV. I'm not saying that this is true of all lower class people but I believe it is true generally speaking.
If Hillary ends up being the Democratic candidate I believe that democrats who usually vote, will vote for her. I also think that many people will vote democratic for no other reason than that they are tired of republican leadership.

I think it has a lot less to do with getting time off to vote because you can vote over a period of time. I think the real issue with Hilary and say Obama is that while they may have more support from lower to middle class as well as an over whelming support of the minority vote.
You have to look at a few key factors.
1. ) The vast majority of minorities in this country do not vote.
2.) that a lot of people I know regardless of who they support or would support are not voting because of the lack of effectiveness in the previous elections.
3.) you have people who could potentially not like Hilary because she is a women. Believe it or not there are still many people in this day and age challenged by this.

That's exactly what Bush Senior supporters thought about Bill Clinton's supporters. The Democrats are really good at grass roots get out the vote drives. On election day volunteers will giving poor people and seniors rides to the polls and doing everything to make sure that good honest hard working Americans are able to vote..

Hillary Clinton has the intelligence and experience as a Senator and former First Lady making the lower class wanting her to become President.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

You have some strange notions. Do you really believe that the hundreds of thousands of people who have donated to Clinton's campaign are "lower class?" The countless elected officials who have endorsed her? I understand that you're 16, and you probably know the world of politics mostly through what you hear from your parents, but don't believe everything you hear. Millions of people from all walks of life support Clinton. They are HIGHLY motivated to vote, because they are desperate for a CHANGE. This is going to be the most one-sided election in recent history.

Many people, especially democrats who will support Hillary, are VERY motivated to get out and vote because of the mess Bush and the republicans have made of the country.

Felony Clinton won't win because people don't want socialism. The poles are open until 8:00 pm in each state, so if someone really wants to vote regardless of class, they can. Usually it's the poor people who elect someone, because they are promised the moon by the candidate, and make more of a effort to get to the polls, even though they usually vote on emotion, rather than knowledge.

Don't worry. The ones who would vote for her will probably get lost on the way to the polls.
