The GOP attack plan for Hillary Clinton
If Clinton beats the odds and wins the Democratic nomination, Republicans will say she stole it. And then they'll try to give voters a 1990s flashback.
By Mike Madden [2008-03-26]

  • Senator Clinton should end this.

    It isn't how the Republicans will run against her.

    She simply can't win the nomination without super-delegates overturning pledged delegates. If this happens, how will the black vote respond?

    Bill Clinton won the Presidency in '92 with only 38% on the white vote, and 90% of the black vote.

    Mrs. Clinton will not win the white vote in the general. She needs 90%+ of the black vote to succeed.

    Ohio?

    Here is an excerpt from an article in today's St. Louis Post Dispatch. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/politics/story/146EFF6FB6C2832886257418000DC94A?OpenDocument

    "In 2004, George W. Bush won re-election thanks to his narrow victory in Ohio, which analysts attribute in large part to his relatively strong showing among African-Americans. Sixteen percent of black voters went for Bush in Ohio."

    A Democrat simply can't win the White House without a huge turnout, and support, of the black vote.

    Period.
