Who Can Win Over Sen. McCain in the 2008 Election

Which Democratic candidate if being chosen as the Party Nominee can win over John McCain in the final election? This is probably the most important question that the Democratic Party, especially the Super Delegates, need to answer when they make the decision for the Party Nominee. This is more primary and important question than other questions such as how the Nominee can fulfill the plans for changing, how the Nominee can bring the country together, etc. Before the Democratic Party Nominee can do anything for the country, the Democratic Party Nominee first needs to win over John McCain in the November Election.

The following aspects need to be considered well on choosing the Democratic Party Nominee in order to win over Sen. McCain in the Election.

• Campaign Debate
There has not been a formal face to face campaign debate between the two parties for the 2008 Election. However, informal debate had been taken between Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama. When Sen. Obama said that if al Caeda is in Iraq, then we’ll send the troop to Iraq, Sen. McCain replied that as a matter of fact al Caeda is in Iraq now; Sen. Obama then replied, if there was not Bush and McCain, al Caeda would not be there in Iraq.

It looks like both were not wrong in what they were saying. But by a deeper analysis, it would find out that Sen. Obama did not win over Sen. McCain on this debate. From the point of view of the present day when the Iraq war has continued for five years, it is very clear that Iraq was not connected with al Caeda before the war was started; but back to five years ago who can be sure on this? There was a former Iraq Officer confirmed in Washington DC before the Iraq war started that al Caeda was connected to Saddam; and he also said there was some document to prove this kind connection, though the document has never been revealed afterward. Did Sen. Obama five year ago had more info resource on Iraq than President Bush and Sen. McCain to know al Caeda was not connected with Saddam? It would be hard to believe so. If it was Colin Powell who had this doubt five years ago that Iraq was not connected to al Caeda, it is more believable; but never heard that Sen. Obama said anything five years ago that al Caeda was not be there in Iraq.

Based on the info available five years ago, it was probably believed by American that al Caeda was somehow connected with Saddam. According to what Sen. Obama said “if al Qaeda is in Iraq, then we’ll send the troop to Iraq”, then Sen. Obama would also make a decision to send the troop to Iraq based the information available five years ago, unless Sen. Obama had some other info resources better that the one President Bush and Sen. McCain had.

So Sen. Obama did not win on this debate when he used the info available today to blame the decision made based on info available five years ago. According to Sen. Obama’s words in the debate, he probably would make the same decision to send the troop to Iraq if based on the info available five years ago.

• Supporting States
It is true that Sen. Obama is still in lead in term of the Supporting Sates that he won and the supporting delegates, but not many of the States that Sen. Obama won are the big and industrial States. On the other hand, Sen. Clinton has won in many big and important industrial States, such as MA, NY, NJ, FL, OH, MI, TX, CA. The question is that if Sen. Obama is the Party Nominee, can he win over Sen. McCain in those big industrial States? (Similarly, can Sen. Clinton win other States over Sen. McCain?). It will be hard for a Nominee who cannot win in the big States to win for the President Election.

• Supporting Voters
There are some polls indicating that Sen. Clinton has more white women supporting than Sen. Obama, and Sen. Obama has more black people supporting than Sen. Clinton. But in term of the campaign between the two parties, the Head-to-Head Polls from Yahoo News has the results as

Head-to-Head Polls
McCain vs.Clinton
McCain 46.3%; Clinton 45.7%

McCain vs. Obama
McCain 46.0%; Obama 44.6%

So Sen. Clinton has slightly more chance (1%) than Sen. Obama to win the election.

• Religion and Racial Factors
The speech of Sen. Obama’s Priest Rev Jeremiah Wright will more or less influence Sen. Obama’s Campaign. Even today there is news related to Sen. Obama’s Priest, “The disclosure of articles published by the Rev Jeremiah Wright’s church newsletter threatened to overshadow his speech outlining his economic plans.” With these kind matters with Sen. Obama’s campaign, it would be questionable whether Sen. Obama can win over Sen. McCain in the point of view of religion and racial aspect.

• Experience vs. Age
Experience is usually in reverse proportion to the age. Sen. McCain has a lot experience (except economic experience) but is at 70s age. Sen. Obama has no much experience but is young in 40s. Between Experience and Age, which is more important for the Voters? When President Reagan was elected as the President, he was also at about 70s age, and he won over President Carter who was the current President then. As Reagan at the age of 70s won the President Carter then, it is very possible Sen. McCain wins over Sen. Obama who does not have much experience. So age is probably less important than experience.

In summary from the above analysis, Sen. Clinton should be chosen as the Democratic Party Nominee and will have more chance than Sen. Obama to win over Sen. McCain for the 2008 election.

American's Catching on
Obama the wave of the future

A FUTURE AMERICA DOESN'T WANT OR NEED, a future of absent action, and vague ideologies, and rooted by hate for America and the white man.....no thanks Obama!

Have you tried the web site? The change party affiliation is grayed out. On line will only allow new registrations. Who did this?

Can a registered Republican vote in the PA Democratic Primary on April 22nd? I have been a registered Republican all my life, but vote for whomever I believe is the best overall candidate. I am extremely conservative on some issues but extremely liberal on others, so I suppose that makes me a moderate. I want to see Barack Obama become our next President. Why, because I don't believe a Washington insider from either party can affect any positive change in America.

Also, don't let the thinly vailed threats scare you off. There is NOTHING illegal about changing your voter registration and voting how you want.

it doesn't matter why you vote, the liberals and democrats just want to disenfranchise you the way the tried to do it to the Military, florida, michigan, and possibly half their own party.

Man up! don't let the girly men libs scare you off.

The answer is, change your affiliation prior to march 22, you can vote in dem primary. Don't accept, no it's closed as an answer.

Ok, let me state for the record, I don't care who wins in 08. Full disclosure, I am a republican, and more importantly a conservative. I don't have a candidate in this race. I did however change party affiliation. I will vote for brokered convention. I don't know what candidate will help me to that end, I will decide that closer to 4-22-08.
I love the fact that the Democratic party has disenfranchised voters in Michigan and especially Florida. I love the fact that they may may be ready to disenfranchise over 51% of the Dem. voters with Superdelegates, have you EVER heard of anything so stupid?
Oh ya, animal farm, All are equal, some are more equal than others. How typical, how perfect, the party that thinks they can run my life better than I can, have decided, that they better put in a safety valve, in case the idiots in flyover country, are too stupid to vote for the right candidate. Reminds me why I'm conservative and proud of it.
This is election like being a Steeler fan watching the superbowl, you don't really care much if the Giants win, but it would sure be nice if New England lost. Who knows, no one thought the Giants had a chance either.
Either way, this should be fun to watch. I'm going to open a cold one, and have chicken wing or two and watch the game. BTW, Bobby Flay's recipe from the food network, makes the best chicken wings you'll eve reat in your life.

The 'Rush Limbaugh KoolAid' republicans that voted for Hillary in Ohio are being investigated for committing a felony, punishable by 6-12 months in jail + $2500.

In Pennsylvania you can also be charged with perjury if you falsify your voter registration

excerpt..
"At least one member of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections wants to investigate some Republicans who may have crossed party lines only to influence which Democrat would face John McCain in November.

Anyone who crossed lines was supposed to sign a pledge card vowing allegiance to their new party. In Cuyahoga County, dozens and dozens of Republicans scribbled addendums onto their pledges as new Democrats.
"For one day only."

Lying on the pledge is a felony, punishable by six to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. "

A future so bleak if that Whistler One-Note Johnny and the Monster 2-Fer demonizers of "right wing conspitacy"
fame - no way. Obama won't be their 3-Fer BOY.

"This president had the chance to end the torture debate for good, yet he chose instead to leave the door open to use torture in the future," said Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

She said Bush ignored the advice of 43 retired generals and admirals and 18 national security experts, including former secretaries of state and national security advisers, who supported the bill.

------------------------------ -
That Iowan political mouther King got things twisted ( racist rant will
benefit President Obama) such a lack of understanding of cause and effect
as to the joy that will be triggered by the landslide vote of our next President,
Barak Obama. Anti-Bush (most unloved prez) haters will equally be jumping with joy when Bush3 (McCain) gets dumped Big Time.

An enemy whose hated of America was enhanced by the stutterer Bush (and his Repug ilk/go along fellows) will be rendered impotent with a passion
so profound. We'll be seeing a world calmed after a "Common Sense" leader like Mr. Obama is positioned " the leader of a free rational world."

Bring it on Hillary/Repugs. Barak being the diplomat would not
subscribe to my remarks I'm sure. Think on what is possible and
the logic will pop up and make one to evolve to what I've written..

Through President Obama's political reasoning
and execution on the diplomatic front we'll
be experiencing a world without fear once again.

With such a leader we won't be terrorized as we are currently
- kept in line to serve our undemocratic ME friend(s)
with terror threats fake or otherwise..

Billions will be saved and will be spent on useful projects
that are going begging - used to make the USA a Shining City On A Hill.

Go Obama - Our prayers are with you. Imagine the Billary-2Fer team
- the same old politics of demonizing others. What a Uniter Couple those Zeros like Bush2/Bush3 McCain.

In Pennsylvania, you must be a registered Democrat to vote in the Democratic primaries or a registered Republican to vote in the Republican primaries. The deadline to register is March 24! If you're interesting in registering, changing your party affilliation so you can vote, or updating your information if you've moved, go to http://www.dos.state.pa.us/voting/cwp/view.asp?a=1192&q=442984
I advise doing this asap to meet the deadline!

Have you even gone on Barrack's web site and downloaded his "Roadmap for Change?" It is 46 pages and details what he plans on doing. You can also find his specific record in the Senate. But, I'm sure you're not interested and just want to put down people who believe in something. Shame on you, "Anonymous"!

You Republican win-at-all-cost Notsies are so lame as to vote for your own worst enemy, Hillary Rodham Clinton?? You guys really are laughable, you know that? John McCain's more liberal than Hillary anyway, so what are you really doing other than bastardizing your most precious right as a US citizen, your vote?

Boo.

We know we heard your Russ Limbaugh but DNC is stupid!!

In Ohio, most of us Republicans voted for HILLARY CLINTON. EXAMPLE Clermont Co. 62% increase of Democrats voting for HRC.

Why?

Many people will vote for McCain over a Clinton. Plus his supporters would rather not vote than vote for her.

Ohio & Texas == win win for McCain

GOTTA

Another LAME Ex-Republican trying to stir the pot with HOT AIR and EMPTY Rheteric. "Vote Against Hillary" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Take that to a place in lalaland and enjoy the medications, that you so desperately need.
Not that it matters but usually if someone supports a candidate they look for their experience and resume and voice their agreement and choice based on that. But you pathetic hack go to a Democratic Party Website and make a feeble attempt to spew hatred.
Laughable to say the least.

The democratic primary is closed. Although you can switch parties 30 days prior to their primary. I am a republican who switch already so I could vote against Hillary in the primary. My republican vote in PA never counts towards anything anyway since the Republican candidate has already been decided and our electoral votes always go democratic in the general election. I thought I would make my vote count for something and at least stack the deck by voting in the democratic primary. What a blessing that I get to decide whether or not Hillary gets to proceed to the White House. I will be happy to vote against her. I'm forming a group called the demochameleons which are republican who understand this process. You can switch as well if you want to make a difference. Or you can continue living in this state doing what you have been and never making a difference. Obama if elected will do nothing. Hillary if elected will destroy everything.
God Bless... Happy voting against Hillary!

Pa. is closed primary.. If you are an Independent you have no one to vote for!! You can change your registration until March 22 to become a Dem. You can get an application on line by going to your county voter registration site and following the directions to get an application.

March 24th is the last day to register before the April 22nd primary. email nick@padems.com if you have any questions. He has been very helpful!

Can a registered Independent vote in the PA Democratic Primary? How about a registered Republican? Please advise for both me and my wife asap!!! Thanks!!!

You can change party affiliation up to March 22. It's similar to registering to vote. You have until 30 days before the election. Use this form: http://www.dos.state.pa.us/voting/lib/voting/02_voter_registration_appli...

Thanks for the help!

Pennsylvania is a closed Primary. You must be registered in the Democratic Party to vote in it.

You must be registered as a Democrat to vote the Democratic ballot in the primary.
