6 Responses to “Obama Fairs Better Against McCain Than Hillary”

1. Which is why he has my support and why I think he should be the nominee. Whether he will or not is anyone’s guess, but if Howard Dean, the DLC, and the party brass can’t see that, they need to have their heads collectively examined.

2. I’ll be completely honest I don’t trust this guy one bit, he’s a smooth talker, his rhetoric of change seems fishy. People want change and he’s banking on it; Playing with people emotions. Who wouldn’t want him after 8 years GWB. But here’s my scenario, if he’s elected, he’ll change a few things here and there but he’ll always be a corporate whore. and what’s worst is if GWB got us into war with lies, Obama can equally get us into war with Iran or whomever by merely convincing the American public with he’s smooth talk rhetoric.

3. Gravel’s stated repeatedly that he’s going all the way to November. I’d love to see him team up with Nader. He’s the only anti-corporate/anti-imperialist candidate the mules have left.

   Hugo-
   Seems like you may be fixating on his style, rather than the content of his message (except for his opposition to gay marriage, is palatable to my farther-left leanings). Yes, Obama probably is, in many ways, a symbol in the eyes the attention-deficited masses, but a positive one nonetheless. Most importantly, I think an Obama presidency (symbolic or not) would give the American people permission to reconsider their entrenched definitions of who we are.

   Yes, true change would come quickly (and IMO, not soon enough) from a mega-dosed purgative Dennis K. or Mike G. And yes, this country needs real medicine- BIG TIME. However, as opposed to chemo, I think that a patented Dr. Obama sugar-coated bolus might pave the way out of this embarrassing mess we have created. I truly do think that many conservatives are embarrassed and are looking for an honorable chance to redeem themselves.

   That said, I personally don’t see Obama as simply a reactionary choice from Dubya. IMO, Jimmy Carter (as much as I love the man as an individual) was a punk reaction to Nixon’s J. Edgar-like megalomania. This political gag-gift resulted in Reaganism (the term still gives me the shingles!). I remember during Bill C.’s days, I often thought Hillary would make the better president and deep-down, I think she would. But I find the prospect of a dynastic presidential era a negative symbol of a sick nation entrenched in the tired polemics we need to overcome.

   Plus, I think we would be electing a marriage fit for The Jerry Springer Show.

   Somebody, please convince me otherwise!

5. The Law of Averages make it a statistical possibility that Bill and Hillary are both equally capable of being POTUS.

   I equate it to me and my wife walking into a convenience store and both winning the Lottery one right after the other.

   Of course, nothing is impossible with this fucked up system we have, except to actually elect the best candidate, which appears to be the real impossibility.
