Drawn-out Dem fight could cost prez race
Meh.. The GOP wont win. Americans are sick of the war and a pro war candidate will not do well in the national election. In almost every state that has held its primary so far, If you add up all the GOP votes, they don't even come close to the 2nd place Democrat. Assuming everyone who voted GOP votes McCain he wont even make a dent. Ron Paul supporters wont vote McCain and many Huckabee supporters will not vote McCain. Nader may mess up the Dem's but not as much as Paul/Huck screw with the GOP. While many Hillary/Obama supporters will support the other.
Some examples of state turnouts
MA (Dem's) 1,244,123 (GOP) 496,171
- Obama alone in 2nd place received 511,877
TX (Dem's) 2,818,599 (GOP) 1,320,653
- Obama alone in 2nd place received 1,358,785
NY (Dem's) 1,721,262 (GOP) 602,747
- Obama alone in 2nd place received 697,914
VA (Dem's) 970,393 (GOP) 481,980
MN (Dem's) 212,618 (GOP) 62,161
- Clinton received 68,607 in 2nd place
McCain wont pull much if any Obama/Hillary support. Where as someone like Ron Paul would have a better chance for the GOP to take the antiwar vote away from the DEM'S. The Dem's can fight all they want till they're blue in the face but all it will do is switch the vote to the other Dem, not to the GOP.
Add on the fact McCain = 4 more years of Bush policy (even a Bush endorsement with his approval rating of ~30%) will do more harm then simple bickering between the democrats.Zimzum Reviewed by Zimzum on .
