Cold Shower: Kerry in deep trouble with Electoral College Votes

<< < (4/7) > >>

Sikotic™:
A female will probably never win an election in the US for the next 100 years.

M Dogg™:
I think Hilary has a great chance of winning. Her husband won even though he lost the majority of the male voters in both elections. It's just that women voted for him in huge numbers, and Hilary could break Al Gore's record by surpassing the 91% black vote, and Latinos will vote in huge numbers. And who will run against Hilary?

Trauma-san:
Hmm; well, let's examine that.  I've broken this down before.

As I said, Hillary is a very polar politican.  *NO... and I mean, *NO conservative, or republican, would ever vote for her in a million years.  That's half your population of the United States, right there.

From there, you can break it down further.  Southerners, who are traditionally democratic and therefore necessary to elect a democrat like Hillary Clinton, are very traditional and old-fashioned, and any of them over the age of 50 or so would never vote for a woman.  This is men, AND women, they just feel that way and don't like strong, opinionated women.  I'm not saying it's right, or wrong, I'm just saying that's how it is.  So there's another sliver of voters gone. 

Latinos, and I know you are one (or you say you're indian, or whatever minority you feel like relating to that week)... anyways, Latinos are a very, very patriarchial ethic group, and personally I don't see many Latino men voting a woman into office, either.  On top of that, the vast majority of Latino's are catholic, and catholics won't even have female priests, much less a female president. 

So in the end, perhaps Hillary WOULD get a vast majority of the black vote; who else's would she get?  She'd get young, white democratic votes, and she'd get some latino votes, but in my opinion, not very many.  Since young, white males and latinos traditionally DON'T VOTE, I don't think she has a prayer in the world of even coming close to getting elected.
