Lepubricans

If you are a Red Stater, who would you rather see on the Democratic ticket this fall? My guess is that you’d rather see Hillary. In my opinion, she is more beatable than Obama because she is more polarizing, whereas Obama is a more hopeful and moderate personality who will win over independents and dissatisfied Republicans more easily.

 

If Hillary and McCain were to win their respective nominations and the final vote were held today, then I would cross party lines to vote for McCain. I tend to agree with his beliefs more, and furthermore, I think it can be healthier for America when Congress and the Oval Office are not held by the same political party. I want to see discussions and compromise, not the kind of battering ram tactics that were used to push through initiatives from 2000-2006. Those tactics were not even efficient as the Republicans did not hold a filibuster-beating majority in Congress, so all they accomplished was to antagonize and offend Democrats. McCain seems to be the kind of guy who would work well with the other side of the aisle in Congress. For that matter, so do Obama and Hillary, but I still say that of the two, Hillary would be more vulnerable against McCain.
