Clinton Rejected in Potomac Primaries

Obama has charisma, which goes a long way. That's the positive factor that propelled him to win in the Potomac Primaries by huge margins:

Obama's Margins of Victory:

51% - District of Columbia
22% - Maryland
29% - Virginia


But there are negative factors too. Factors that push people away from Hillary Clinton:

• The Corporate factor... leads to sellouts.
  
• The "We Hate Clinton" factor (AKA Bill factor)... leads to divisiveness.
  
• The Dirty Tricks factor... leads to a lack of trust.
  
• The Yuppy factor... leads to feeling "she's not one of us."
  
• The Washington Insider factor... sellouts, no trust, not one of us.
  
• The Iraq and Iran factors... leads to the realization she's not experienced in foreign affairs.
  

The list could go on. I could elaborate. But it isn't necessary for most people, who get it.

Obama isn't the best Deomcratic Party candidate. That would have been Edwards. But, Obama is the best remaining Democratic Party candidate.
