Question

I don't understand.why did obama lose to hillary clinton?

Answer 1

In a nutshell, he got less of the popular vote. But Hillary on got a net of ONE delegate. So, he's still in the lead. People really need to look into WHY they are voting the way that they are. There are plenty of people voting for all of the candidates "just because," but it is really the responsibility of each individual to look into each candidate, their records, and then vote their conscience. The Clintons have a TERRIBLE reputation, but we have known about it. Between Bill and Monica, the kid who was killed in Arkansas, real estate in Arkansas, the current real estate in New York, Wal Mart connections, failed Child Health care, an unwillingness to work together, and everything else Clinton would get annihilated in the General Election. McCain is actually a good candidate. With that being said, Obama 08!

Answer 2

Let me cartoon this for you,,,,,, Ohio, Texas, are filled with

working adults,, and seniors, Not bubble gummers and

yellow brick crowd.. See were really interestd in more than

CHANGE and HOPE..... Se we have been around long

enough to know, this is just straight up Bull ****. Whenever

a d**n politican tells you he can make that happen,, He is

bald face d**n liar. Besides we kind of like to know what

the candidate has in mind for policys and Platforms,,,and

the pie in the sky c**p just don't cut it,,,, The adults in the

country are starting to see the empty suit Obama is,, and

they don't really like him that much,,,,so if you want America

strong and back on its feet over the next 4 years,, vote

McCain.

Answer 3

he got less votes.

Answer 4

People on here do not have a grasp of reallity.  Obama has more money and more support.  He just won another state, Wyoming.  He has raised more money than Hillary and garnered more support. Hillary on the other hand had to go back to her status quo ways of dirty politics to pull OBAMA down to her level.   That is evident.  She does not have very much experience and her campaign is poorly run.  This is why she hoping to bring OBAMA down with lies and fabricated truths according to CBS,ABC,NBC,FOX and even CNN. In other words status quo politics as John Edwards pointed out so vividly in the past.  Hillary getting the nomination is a wishful dream.  Too many people will not suppport her.  I don't see the logic backing someone like that.

Answer 5

"i don't understand" - You are correct there. The race is still going and Obama currently has the lead. He has not lost.

Answer 6

Because his background is coming to the forefront now and how incomptent he would be he needs to wait and clear up all the NAFTA incident and his church is under investigation. Also he maybe under scrutiny with this trial.

Answer 7

His background is comeing up.His speeches of hope and change is starting not to work as people realize everytime he is aksed how does he plan on making all of these changes he changes the subject.People at the last minute trusted their gut and thought about their children thinking who do I want to answer then phone at 3 a.m.  Alot of things.Kiss Obamamania bye bye because its over.His last stand is in Penneslyvania.After that he has no chance to make  a argument to the superdelegates.Sorry man but Obama lost because people see the real him now.

Answer 8

Because people like me voted and chose her as the best presidential candidate in the Ohio primary.

YES Ron N, everything you said about Obama voters is TRUE. Because every Obama vote I talk to has NO idea what they like about him, just that he promises "change". Ha.

God, Brookes, I hope you are right!
