Obama's not dead yet.
McCain wins against either by 5 points. -spence |
I dont think Obama can pull it off. I think Clinton has and has demosntrated that she has more balls.
I am disappointed that everyone, dems and repubs wanted change in the govt. and I think we'll end up with a 70+ year old senator and an ex-first lady senator. Just a big dsiappointment all around for me. I mean, who the heck are we goign to argue about on s-b, no one really cares at this point! |
I care, registered independent. Going Obama with my vote and support.
I Can't stand the B-tch. Change, experience, everything else aside, I dont trust her to do 10% of what she says she will do. McCain is a I guy I respect, but differ way, way too much on his views on the war, along with a bunch of social issues! He is a lot further right than most people think. The one thing I hope is that this shows how much of a (vocal majority) minority the true right religious nuts are! |

That being said McCain was also quick to call for Rummys ouster and was very critical of Bush strategy early on. -spence |
He still maintains he'll keep it going as long as it takes. to quote:
"make it a hundred years in Iraq and ‘that would be fine with me," whatever it was, thats what it is now. |
What else is he supposed to say? He gambled on the "surge is working" strategy and it's payed off. Anything realistic and Romney would jump all over him.

McCain ticked me off with the Immigration bill. The whole country was up in arms over that on both sides of the spectrum. That alone makes me not want him in.
I actualy like Obama, he is the first politician in a long time that I would enjoy sitting down and talking with and not want to get sick. I differ way to much with him on social issues and I have not seen him be strong enogh against Hillary and demonstrate he can face serious international issues. I voted in the primary for Romney, I agree on his stance on my "3 major issues" and I really think a business leader is the right skill set (vs. a lawyer or carrer politician) for leading this country. I am not that enthisuastic about him, but he was the only one I could vote for. |
Mrs. McCain's father owns the budweiser distributorship for the southwest part of the country, thats hot.

Cindy McCain will be the best looking First Lady since Ladybird Johnson. (Himm...you know, that suit is close to the little Chanel number Jackie was wearing on her last visit to Dallas...) |
:eek: :devil: U BAD, JOE!!!!!! :pop:
|
McCain may be in but Clinton still has a fight.
2 comments - I don't know if McCain wins if he will get Huckabee's supporters to support him. They may just stay home. I'm not sure Obama's minority supporters will show up at the poles. He had a rally in Hartford Monday with 17,000 people and supposedly many minorities. Hartford only had 3,000 people vote in the primary. |
I heard a beakrdown of the primary results. Obama leads Hillary in WHITE SOUTHERN MEN!
That means two things, race relations have come a long way and thats great news. or, Men, really, really hate Hillary |

I don't think most people who will actually vote care about those running being black or female...they're simply looking for an honest, thoughtful and strong leader. -spence |

So....they must be looking at Plan B this year |
McCain is pro-choice and supports gun control. As far as republicans go, McCain could be someone I could live with....he even expressed reservations about then-supreme court nominee Sammy "No minorities and women at princeton" Alito, opining he seems "too conservative". BUT, I will vote democratic. And about that Obama race, thing, I used to believe that a black man could never be president. This year is the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade, and here we are in 2008 with a truly viable black candidate. Its very promising.

I know Spence will jump donw my throat on this but "McCain is pro-choice and supports gun control. As far as republicans go, McCain could be someone I could live with"
I think the media agreed and that is why before superTuesday, McCain was crowned the front runner even tough Romney had more delgates and more % of the repub vote. He was also endoresed by lib newspapers.... |

Of course Rush Limbaugh would have you believe it was all media manipulation to get a GOP candidate who was a closet liberal :rotflmao: All things considered I think he's the best choice of the three to lead our Nation. -spence |
who is running under a third party?
this year would have been perfect for Ross Perot and I think he could take it this year if that's the competition but he has no interest in running |
He'll be the oldest president entering office since Ronnie in term 2?
Hopefully he'll live thru his term if elected. |
obama will pull it off.
I think Obama will pull it off unless the Clinton's use some back room dirty tricks which wouldn't surprise me.
McCain caves in too much to the Republican party. He has to. FishHawk |
With all the brilliant minds in this country and this what we have to choose from !

That being said, do you think Obama and Clinton DONT give in to the Dem party???? Please tell me what brilliant ideas they have that seperate them from the Dem party?????????? the one thing I'll give McCain credit for is he DOESNET cave to the repub party! |

Obama and his wife just recently paid off their school loans. From what I've read, Michelle told Barack he needs to finish his political career fairly early so they can make some money. She does not want him chasing the presidency again.
Think about it - eight years ago, the Clintons were essentially broke - now Hillary is in a position to loan her campaign five million. I don't think this applies to the "true believers," but for most, politics is about becoming rich and powerful - but with the emphasis on power. Becoming a national figure - whether you win or lose - is akin to hitting the lottery. We live in an age where, in the hands of a manipulative person, even a modicum of celebrity can translate into vast opportunity. |
