Reply #114: I disagree [View All]

I think most people who wouldn't vote for hillary, wouldn't vote for a Democrat. At most, Hillary will partially energize their base. However, I will say Hillary should not be an early option, that might be a mistake. Alot of other Democrat candidates don't have the same base energizing effects. With Edwards, being a white southerner and an onstensibly religious man, the Republicans will be hard to energize the base against him- at most you'll only be able to pin "sleae lawyer" on him, and that won't stick because he won't let it. Obama is pretty much the same, the only people he'll energize on the right are racist, and the Republicans as a whole won't be energized by overt racism.
