You don’t give the football to a blocker. We need somebody to carry the football. The thing about Hilary Clinton that worries me the most is that in 2008, whenever she and Barack Obama had a pause between primaries, her numbers always went down. Conspicuously here in PA there were six weeks without any primaries leading up to PA. She opened with a twenty point lead and only won by 9. How is she going to manage the two months or so after the convention bounce and that extended period? Is she going to inspire Democrats to turn out, especially in voter restrictive states? Democrats have already proven that unless there is somebody at the top worth turning out for, they’ll sit on their asses and let the Republicans run wild. Even with an inspiring front man like Barack Obama, there isn’t as much cushion as you might think

Democrats have won the popular vote in 5 out of the last 6 Presidential elections.

1992 Clinton/Bush
1996 Clinton/Dole
2000 Gore/Bush
2008 Obama/McCain
2012 Obama/Romney
