The LEADING Democratic Candidate (and assumed nominee) should NOT take lightly that he just got beat in West Virginia by 40 points and in Kentucky by 30 points. That signals a major PROBLEM for Obama and he can't just write it off.

That is the first thing you've gotten right that I can recall.

He is damaged goods, and the best thing the Dems can do at this point is to run Hillary instead of Obama. Of course, we're apt to have race riots in Denver if they do that, but people are not going to elect this rank amateur as president, I don't believe.

He has totally had a pass from the media on his terrorist connections and that is going to bite him, seriously, before November. His willingness to "sit down" with an Iranian terrorist is part of a larger syndrome. This man is way, way too left-leaning to get elected; Americans don't mind a moderate liberal, but when you get one who is so far out there he is hanging around with terrorists, anti-Americans, hate-mongers, and the like, he's going to have a very tough hill to climb in November.

Well, the PROBLEM is gender, as you said. He can't very well turn into a woman. The ladies will come around, and Hillary will help to bring them around. She'll also help with the voters that don't like Obama for other reasons - all without having to be on the ticket. Just as Obama would have done.

Support for Hillary doesn't transfer to McSame. America KNOWS it's the (R)'s that are to blame for our current national unhappiness.

The picture will be much clearer once Hillary has bowed out. She's done amazingly well, and if she wasn't running against Obama, she'd BE the nominee, and likely beat McSame too.

I imagine she can ask Obama for any federal job she would like, including VP. He'd have to seriously consider her. I just don't think it would work out, with her and Bill prowling the WH again.

How about Hillary as the next Supreme?

Hillary has tapped into voters who typically put republicans over the top in those states. She has a chance to win ohio, wva, ky, ar,tn and others that obama has little chance to win. Obama has kerrys map to start--- with potential problems in PA, NJ, MI,WI, MN. Assuming he holds these, he still has to pick up a few states frim the following group--- CO, NM, Iowa, VA, NC to have a shot.
