Does Obama have a better chance of winning the General election than Clinton?

Question

I think so.
Edwards will soon endorse Obama, and Obama will win the nomination and presidency. IMO

Answer 1

I admire Obama for what he is trying to do and if he were the DEMS candidate I would vote for him. But the Republicans will play EXTRA dirty to keep power and I think Hillary Clinton is the best to take them on.
If you're a sunny optimist and believe that politics are good and fair and that people will vote for what's best for them then Obama is your guy.
If you think it's gonna be a nasty fight and you want to come out on top then Clinton is your best bet.

Answer 2

I think both would be ok, and I disagree with some of the other posters. You don’t NEED the South. You would NEED Ohio though.


If Kerry had not lost Ohio, he would have won the election.

Ohio is worth 20 electoral votes.
Bush had 286 and Kerry had 252. I was disappointed that Kerry wimped out and didn’t fight for OHIO.

I think there is a good chance OHIO will go to the Democrats this time because Bush’s rating is finally really really low because so many people are out of work and have lost their houses. Property value is really low. You can steal a house in Ohio right now.

Also Ohio went BLUE in the 2006 midterm elections.

Answer 3

Not if Ron Paul is the Republican candidate,

Ron Paul is the only candidate that can beat Shrillery. This is because Ron Paul's support is coming from across the political spectrum. Not only Republican Conservatives, but disaffected Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, and everyone interested in freedom from an out of control government.

Ron Paul will restore Constitutional government. Ron Paul will restore honest money. Ron Paul will stop the perpetual undeclared wars across the globe, which generate billions of dollars to the special interests.

Dr. Paul will protect our national sovereignty by controlling our borders. He will restore our freedoms by repealing the Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, the National ID Card and ending government sanctioned torture.

Compared to Ron Paul, what do any of the other candidates have to offer? What is different about any of them? They are all the same. They will continue the same policies for the benefit of the same special interests.

The other candidates have as much contempt for the American people as they do for the Constitution. Who could get excited about a Shrillery? Or a Barak Hussein Obama? Or Mittens Romney? The Rudester?

Ron Paul is the real deal. We have never had a chance to vote for a candidate who would reverse the direction that this nations has been on for almost a hundred years. Wars, inflation, big government, and less freedom.

Answer 4

If I were a dem I would vote for Obama over Clinton. and maybe just off the subject a bit the Republicans WANT Hillary to win the nomination because they KNOW they can easily beat the Hildabeast

Answer 5

NO, No, No the Southern states will never elect a black President. The southern black people want vote for him and I know the white southern people will not , it is still to soon for a black President just like Colin Powell stated when ask to run. It just want happen , even though we all get along real good but President of the United states, no way. Edwards will endorse hm I thought I heard Edwards and Elizabeth state Edwards was going to win the election.
I wouldn't vote for Obama or Edwards to immature. Hillary Clinton will be our next President just wait and see. She has experience and also she brings along the great Bill Clinton.

Answer 6

I agree, Obama has the best chance at beating the Repubs in the General election.

OBAMA '08

Answer 7

Don't forget about the major democrats, Biden and Dennis K, they have the most experience and are the "come from behind" types and have major power. You don't see any of them picking on them during the debates do you . Take care.

Answer 8

Well, it actually depends, each one has their own strengths. The decision lies on the beholder. Clinton has an advantage that is obvious: The first woman president in history. Obama: The first black president in history. Or the beholder could be listening to speeches. But i really think it would be Clinton because "The First Woman President" is very highly debated conversation in history.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Nope. Whoever hopes to win the Presidential election has to win the south. Lots of people in the south aren't ready to admit they lost the Civil War; they're certainly not going to vote for an African American for the Presidency. Hell, South Carolina kept Strom Thurmond in the Senate until the day he died, and he was a bigot.
