Women, who are 60% of the Dems (5.00 / 7) (#143)

are not going to be happy that once again the older, more experienced, more accomplished, harder-working woman has to step aside for the new guy.

Pick the group you want to p*ss off more. 60% or 20%.

Then add Hispanics to the 60%.

80% of 20% (5.00 / 1) (#189)

Is less than 55% of 60%.

Plus Hispanics.

Do the math.

Now it's silly tit-for-tat (5.00 / 1) (#272)

Why? Because I proved you were wrong to think that Clinton's presumed loss of AA votes is more than offset by Obama's loss of women's votes?

If you make an easily rebutted statement, don't call it silly tit-for-tat when someone soundly rebuts it, then try to change the subject.

"Neither candidate can win (5.00 / 1) (#190)

in November if those groups don't support them." This is exactly why the unity ticket idea will work. Supporters get their person. You need to look way ahead. We're in primary season now. The public's memory is short. Wounds heal over time. New scandals will arive. Heck, there may be stuff that makes the Wright incident look like a walk in the park.

A different VP would give access to a whole new vetting process. These two frontrunners are going through the vetting now. We don't need a newbie to start raking through the coals all over again.

But those two groups overlap (none / 0) (#232)
