Hillary is the stronger candidate against MacCin - Reader comments at The New York Sun

Submitted by Agib, Mar 10, 2008 08:45

I totally agree , with the progress of the race ,the real strength of each candidate from both sides of the aisle is getting clearer , Senator Clinton is _by far_ much stronger Candidate against Senator MacCin if we take it state by state or demographic _wise .. She has solid support with solid constituencies that likely to swell up ( Catholics /Latino , Blacks " assuming Mr Obama is off the race" , Blue collar and women ) , while senator Obama holds on well to do librals , African Americans and younger voter s, the question is _exculding loyal African Americans _ is the other demographics supports Mr Obama that soild base? or it is much related to the image he aquired due to his feshness and idealist approach ? and if so for how long such image will last ? , there are strong indications that he is rapidly losing on that, but will he lose it so rapidly, that he run out of enough support that can win him over Senator Clinton ? i doubt he can sustain such fresh and idealist image till November..
