Who Is The Underdog?

Like most Democrats, I enjoy voting for the underdog. Who should I support? Barack or Hillary?

Suggestions welcome.

If that's wetness and not just dark fur under your puppy's eyes, I hope you've gone to a Vet to get the eyedrops to clear that up; depending on what's wrong, it could get really painful for the poor thing.

This isn't a basketball tournement. It is election for POTUS. Also known as the leader of the free world. Don't vote for the underdog, vote for who you think will be the best person for the job. Though to answer your stupid question, it depends on what you mean by underdog. If you mean underdog from the very start of the race, then the answer is Barack Obama. Hillary had long been considered the front runner from the moment she announced her candicy. If you mean right now from this point onward, then the answer is Hillary Clinton since mathmatically it is almost impossible for her to win in a democratic manner and realistically is impossible. If you mean in the general election, technically the true underdogs would be any of the minor party and fringe candidates. Though between Obama and McCain it would be Obama since he has been deeply wounded by this divisive primary and his fighting a 3 way battle while McCain a 3 month head start. Though could also argue that since all of his policies proposals are at the opposite end of public opinion and since he is a member of a party that has in office the most unpopular figure in modern history, he should be the underdog. Either way, thus far it has been made clear that amongst the major candidates, Barack Obama is the only person who should be answering phone calls at 3AM in the white house come next year.

You write for a political blog, but you use 'underdog status' to decide? I wish I could revoke your voting license. This is how W. got elected - people voting who have no clue.

Also, it's "Whom should I support?"

If you want to vote for an underdog, vote for Ralph Nader.

First the picture of your "under dog" is adorable. Vote Obama '08. He may not be the under dog anymore by the delegate count, but he's still the one that has to fight to win.

How under dog is that?

Obama is the underdog. He always was. The Clintons are a top brand just like GM or coca cola, albeit tainted. Hillary is the Dirty Dog, the sort that starred in the Tacco Bell Commercial!!!

If you're a proponent of reality-based measurements, then Hillary's managed to work herself nicely into underdog position. Whether or not she's an underdog in the Democratic race is open to debate, since she's sounding more and more like Republican every day. (I'm waiting for her and McCain to release a duet of "Bomb-bomb-bomb Bomb-bomd Iran.," with Hillary, of course, taking the Brian Wilson part.)

It's irrelevant at this point. Obama is the nominee, it's just a question of how long Hillary prolongs the inevitable.

If you need someone to tell you who to vote for, well then, you sound like a Hillary type person to me.

In medieval days they'd tie you up, drop you in water, to determine if you could float. If you did float, you were rejected by the water, and therefore guilty.

It's really a just matter of which candidate is more buoyant.

Did that help you?

Barack is the underdog. Hillary Clinton just played the underdog when it was beneficial to her. I wonder if there is anything real about Hillary Clinton other than deceit?

Make no drama, just vote for Obama!

You just wanted to post a picture of your dog, huh?

[generationyes]

But worth it!!!
