Clinton versus Romney in the General

[JSojourner]

Have we mapped this one?

Clinton/Strickland vs. Romney/Graham

The one I feel least sure of is Missouri...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

arkansas would go to hillary by a wide margin. the only guy that could beat her there would be huckabee.

Yeah, I struggle with that.  I can never bring myself to paint Arkansas for any Democrat in an "all things being equal" race.  I tend to think of Arkansas like North Dakotans.  They like their Congressional delegation Democratic, but they vote Republican in Presidential races.

I know others have said Hillary is statistically popular in Arkansas, per the various polls.

Can anyone tell me why?  Because all we ever heard from Republicans, and some conservative Democrats, during the Clinton White House was how hated this guy was back home...

What did she (and he) do that made them so popular there...and helps to maintain their popularity today?  I am genuinely curious.

Simple: Clinton was never hated in Arkansas, and anyone saying otherwise is pulling both of your legs.

It's funny, Verily.  I am sure you're right.  But it's one of those things that just gets repeated so much, people assume it's true. Josef Goebbels said, "Repetition is the linchpin of propaganda."  He was evil, but he was right on that count!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Hillary has beaten any republican sans huckabee very handily in general election polls. she garners about 55% of the vote on average.

[Angel of Death]

Clinton versus Romney would seem to me to lead to the dirtiest campaign possible.

Heh... I don't think we'll be seeing this general election after tonight.
