Chances of Gore Endorsement Are Said To Be Fading

Submitted by Tikee, Jan 20, 2008 01:49

If Gore cares about winning the General election, then should endorse Obama because Hillary has not shown mass appeal outside of the Democratic base. When you look at the stats, she has barely won in each primary and still lags behind in delegates. Sure, she can easily win the Primary nomination, but with the racial split can she win the General election? My guess is "No". If she is the nominee, I think a large percentage of blacks will either not vote or vote for her Republican opponent. As the Primary nominee, Obama would be more of a challenge to beat; were as Clinton would cause a massive split among voters and that would lead to a Republican victory.
