Just 37% Believe Clinton Wants Obama to Win.....


(Before you read this, I just want to say that it may just have been a MAN that wrote this......but I won't pinkie swear on it because I can't quite figure the ambiguous overtones of the wording in this write up.......but nevertheless, after what I read ON THE VIRG this a.m., I felt it couldn't hurt anything to post this one.......and the picture i posted here along with this article is just my little touch. it's from "1968, Philip Morris marketed Virginia Slims cigarettes to women with an advertising strategy showing canny insight into the importance of the emerging women's movement. The slogan "You've come a long way, Baby" later gave way to "It's a woman thing" in the mid-1990s, and more recently the "Find your voice" campaign featuring women of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. The underlying message of these campaigns has been that smoking is related to women's freedom, emancipation, and empowerment." I'm not all about the smoking thing, because of the obvious; however I'll go along with the racial, ethnic, freedom, emancipation and all the empowerment we can get...........)

"Just 37% of voters nationwide think that Hillary Clinton wants Barack Obama to win the White House this November. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 33% disagree and say that Clinton does not want an Obama victory. Thirty percent (30%) are not sure.

A plurality of women (39%) think Clinton is rooting for Obama while a plurality of men (40%) disagree. Fifty-six percent (56%) of Democrats think the former First Lady wants the man who wrestled the nomination away from her to win it all. So do 20% of Republicans and 27% of unaffiliated voters.
Forty-four percent (44%) of Democrats think Clinton should be named as Obama's Vice Presidential running mate. That's
down slightly from 51% immediately after Obama clinched the nomination. Just 24% of unaffiliated voters think Clinton should be on the ticket while 52% disagree.
If Obama wins, 73% of Democratic voters say that Hillary Clinton should be considered for a Cabinet position. However, just 41% of Democrats think that former President Bill Clinton should have a role in an Obama Administration. On that last point, 49% of Democrats say no to Bill.
Unaffiliated voters are evenly divided as to whether Hillary Clinton should be considered for a Cabinet position. But, just 18% of unaffiliateds want Bill Clinton to have a role and 75% are opposed to the idea.
Hillary Clinton is now viewed favorably by 52% of all voters nationwide and unfavorably by 45%. Sixty-one percent (61%) of women have a favorable opinion of her along with 42% of men. She earns positive reviews from 69% of African-American voters and 48% of White voters. The New York Senator continues to do well with those on the lower ends of the income scale -- among those who earn less than $40,000 a year, she is viewed favorably by 63%. Among those with incomes over $75,000 annually, her favorable ratings fall to 45%.
This national survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted by Rasmussen Reports June 22, 2008. The margin of sampling error for each survey is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

If John McCain is allowed to appoint 3 justices to go with the likes of Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Roberts, basic human rights, as we have known them will be a thing of the past.
