Chinu...I don't think EITHER Clinton OR Obama can win in the Hard Red States like Mississippi or Georgia or Alabama, etc.

If the Dem candidate just wins the same states as Gore did plus Florida, then they'll win. If the Dem candidate just wins the same states as Kerry did plus Ohio, then they'll win.

If you look at the NATIONAL polls it looks like Clinton would have a better chance of doing that than Obama.

The reason I like Clinton is that I think she knows ALL the ins and outs of Congress and just what buttons to push to get legislation passed.

With Obama, I figure he probably hasn't had time to even get acquainted with all the members of Congress, let alone know how you work them on particular bills.
