Sharpton was hardly a serious candidate. Nor was Jesse. Obams was a state Senator. Look how Obama fared when he went one on one with fellow black Rep. Bobby Rush in a Congressional primary.
South Carolina: Sharpton received more votes than Dean, Lieberman and Kucinich combined. Of course race wasn't responsible. It was Al's tremendous record of accomplishment. Edwards 131,174 45% Kerry 88,508 30% Sharpton 28,201 10% Clark 21,011 7% Dean 13,815 5% Lieberman 7,147 2% Kucinich 1,319 1%
I think you're too pessimistic. She has two years to turn those negatives around. That's a long time in politics. Also, I think she has at least as good a chance in the Red states as any other Dem who is likely to be nominated. I'd be worrying about how to keep Bill out of sight during the campaign.
Loozer stalker Prickter loozes again. Get your own life harelip brain...and stay the fuck out of mine.
of course she can gain the white house - the american public's reelection of bush/cheney/iraq has to remind us that ignorance has no bounds. disagree about Bill - politically, they should focus on him exclusively. she should stay out of it as much as possible - try to get people to forget she's there. the whole thing has been reduced to tv charisma and superficial marketing, and there's nobody better at that than Bill. put him front and center in the ads, write only "clinton" on the campaign signs, etc. it took the majority 4 years to figure out iraq wasn't such a good idea, tricking them into voting for Bill again would be easy.
