Obama on Hillary's Electability

January 22, 2008

During my one on one interview with Barack Obama, I asked him about some who suggest Hillary Clinton may be a drag on down ticket races if she was the Democratic nominee: Watch above. Read below:

Barack Obama: I think there is no doubt that she has higher negatives than any of the remaining democratic candidates. That's just a fact and there are some who will not vote for her.

If you look at the results in Nevada, for example, she eked out the popular vote victory over me but I ended up winning more delegates because she got almost all of her votes from Clark County, Las Vegas and some of the traditional democratic areas.

We got votes there but we also got votes in northern Nevada and rural conservative regions of the state that traditionally don't vote Democratic but were excited about my campaign.

I have no doubt that once the nomination contest is over, I will get the people who voted for her. Now the question is can she get the people who voted for me? And I think that describes sort of one of the choices that people have just a practical choice as they move forward.
