North Carolina Primary Facts and Figures

Bush and Clinton

Actually, if one counts G. H. W. Bush, number 41, we will have had twenty years in which the President came from two families. If Hillary serves two terms, make that twenty eight years. The issue is, who can defeat John McCain? Clinton or Obama? I doubt either can, unless McCain picks a dud for VP. Otherwise, standby for four more years of Republicans in the White House.

President for change

Nothing but Clintons and Bushes in the White House since 1992. Hmmmm....that's 16 years, isn't it?!?!? And people think Hillary represents change? Further, isn't it time to show the rest of the world that we ARE ready for change AND that as a nation we have made significant strides in our embarrassing history of slavery--to the point that a black man CAN BE President? I am a 61-year-old Caucasian woman who went to high school and college in the 60's, and I am proud to be part of that significant generation that demanded change then as we need to do now. Barack Obama represents my vision for the future of our country. He said it best when he said, "Out of many, we are truly one....." And for all those racists out there who may read this I offer this challenge: Do a little digging around your family tree, and you may find that have a black or Native American heritage.

i do not think we need a black president for our leader at this time

Who as the Democratic Party Nominee will get more votes in the General Election?

The Democratic Party Super Delegates will have to decide the Party Nominee between the two candidates. The Super Delegates can surely decide the Party Nominee, but have no power to decide the next US President. The next US President will be decided by the voters cross the country. So to be surer that the Democratic Party Nominee will be the next US President, it is better to analyze which candidate, if being nominated, will get more votes in the general election.

It was reported on TN8 TV (04/22/2008 evening) that the Poll results show after the PA Primary that, there are 67% voters believe Sen. Clinton will be able to win over Sen. McCain; whereas there are only 33% voters believe that Sen. Obama can win over Sen. McCain.

It was also reported on TN8 TV about the same time that the Poll results showed that, 2/3 of Obama’s supporters will vote for Sen. Clinton if she is nominated; whereas only a bit more than ½ of Clinton’s supports will vote for Sen. Obama if he is nominated.

Therefore it is not difficult to see who will get more voters’ support if being nominated.

On another hand, Michigan and Florida are the two large states, and could be the important states in the general election. Actually in 2000 the US President was decided basically by the Florida votes. There is a program called “No Child left Behind”, how can the Democratic Party let the two big States with millions children and voters left behind? If the Democratic Party does not care much of the two big States, the Republicans will certainly take the advantages of the two states. Moreover, if the Democratic Party Super Delegates try to split the number of the delegates in the two states evenly for the two candidates, it may imply that the Democratic Party do not respect the voting rights of the two states very much, which may result in some the Democratic Party voters may switch to Republican. So no state should be left behind and each voter is accounted equally.

In summary, the Poll results showed Sen. Clinton will get more votes if being nominated than Sen. Obama if being nominated, especially when both Michigan and Florida are accounted. And the PA Primary results also showed that Sen. Clinton has the real Chief Commander’s Characters.

The Democratic Party needs a Nominee who can get more votes, can win over Obama and get the White House back.
