WHAT WOULD THE PRIMARIES LOOKED LIKE IF HILLARY CHANGED ONE BAD DECISION?
Had she taken the caucuses seriously instead of Obama winning 11 straight states in Feb after super Tuesday he would have probably only won 6 or 7...
Remember they fought Feb 5 to a tie..he won the most states but she won the big states and they kinda offset each other but she still had the delegate lead but not by much. Had she won say 5 of those 11 remaining states in Feb. she would have come out STILL with a slight delegate lead and a huge super delegate lead of over 100+.
Being the front runner at this point she wouldn't have felt the need to "throw the kitchen sink" at him and the primaries wouldn't have devolved into the slash and burn tactics we saw...at least not so obviously.
Rev Wright would have still leaked but being the second place holder the news would have had a much more devastating effect on his campaign..Bosnia would have still come out but being the front runner and having momentum the effects would have minimized. Because she is the front runner and the Clinton Brand is pretty much in power NO super delegates would have left her. Although after the Wright incident with Obama he may have leaked some of his.
Hillary would have continued taking bigger state primaries and then her lead would have been cemented by around late April, early may. Obama wouldn't have contested MI and FL as hard and neither would Hillary. The black voting base would have been disappointed by not surprised by how the contest was shaping up.
Around mid May Obama would have been asked by the media and colleagues to concede for party unity..he would have. And the rest of the primaries would have been superfluous.
Hillary would be BEAMING on the last of the primaries and the debate now would be who would be her VP.. Obama would be at the top of the list considering he gave her a good run in the primaries and he has the black vote locked up and she would need that to get into the white house...much like her husband did.
Whether or not she would actually CHOOSE Obama would be the question.
