Why do you care so much whether the Democratic nominee ends up being Clinton instead of Obama? There isn't a dime's worth of difference between them, except that Clinton would be more beatable in a general election.
Don't be so sure about who is more beatable. Don't try to guess who is the beatable candidate. That doesn't work. It's like trying to guess who is the real anti-Christ out of all of the likely suspects.
I just don't want Hillary! taking credit for being the "comeback kid" when the result was based on the McCain fluke.
Also, if Hillary! becomes President, she might never leave office. Our system of elections and regular, peaceful transfer of power is on the verge of collapse. A dictator wannabe like Hillary is just the person to push it over the edge.
Like you, I was skeptical of the predictions of Obama's victory. My doubts were based on the potential Bradley Effect.
Catron - I read your blogpost and was quite intrigued! I am going to have to think about that one before I post on it.
Why is your theory called the "Bradley effect?" It seems to have nothing to do with Bill Bradley.
"On January 4th, I warned of the possibility that John McCain would rescue the Clintons by draining independent voters away from Obama, much as he rescued Al Gore in the 2000 New Hampshire primary by taking independents away from Bill Bradley."
I always get a kick when people think they can summarize the thoughts and decision making process of over a hundred thousand people they dont know and then present it as if it is fact. This is the kind of discourse that is generally dangerous and misleading. I get a bigger kick when people actually stick to what they "know".
I always get a kick when people say we can't know anything. We have to accept what we are told. It is dangerous to try to "know."
