The Dems like Hillary because they think she can win. Period. That's what it's all about. They thought Obama could win and flocked to him. He had nothing else going for him.
Luck.
obama is the luckiest candidate to ever run for -- Anything.
Seriously. Look back at his run at the White House...
Hitlery fucked up on the Florida and Michigan electoral votes which were taken away by the DNC because they voted too early but she figured, "**** it, I've still got the nomination in the bag so I can afford to be magnanimous"
She didn't even bother with Iowa because it was a 'Caucas' State. A serious mistake on her part but lucky for obama that she was that incompetent.
Had the DNC not penalized Florida and Michigan for early voting by taking away the delegates she won from those two BIG States, it would have been over before The Lying ********** In Chief even got started.
Over.
Then there was the Market Crash in Oct 2008, right before the election. Remember McRINO saying he was going back to Washington to try and help out while the Liar In Chief stayed on the Campaign Trail? Which actually hurt McRINO
Then in 2012, there was Hurricane Sandy, the traitor Chris Fatass Christie, the secret taping of Romney, the 2nd debate where Candy Fatass Crowley jumped in and helped obama when he was stammering all over himself....
obama isn't nearly as skilled as people want to give him credit for.
He's lucky. REAL lucky.
But like the old axiom goes, "I'd rather be lucky than good" Luck counts.
