Obama
THIS 67 YEAR OLD WHITE WIDOWED FEMALE WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA 1000% WHAT I'VE READ ABOUT THE CLINTON'S, IS SCARY STUFF.
A CLINTON OR McCAIN WIN FOR PRESIDENT IS ANOTHER WIN FOR BUSH, 8 MORE YEARS OF THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A DISASTER FOR US ALL
Drop Out Obama
The polls have caught up with Obama and this game is over. Obama can not win in November. He will not carry MA as even with Kennedy and Kerry and Patrick stumping for him Hillary won MA overwhelmingly. The same is true with CA.....not even Oprah could get the votes to swing to Obama...Hillary won and it is unlikely that Obama can carry CA against McCain since Hispanics and Jews are not voting for him and both are key groups in CA. Hillary can and will beat McCain. I do not have a problem with the DNC going to the convention but if we come out of the convention with Obama nominated then McCain wins in November.
I heard the former President Carter claiming that the black supporters would likely stay home if Obama was not nominated but thought the Hillary supporters would vote for Obama rather than lose the abortion rights. I totally disagree with Carter. The way I see it if Hillary is the nominee then blacks would be fools not to support her because many blacks are fighting for us in Iraq. However if Obama is nominated then we need to consider people like myself and know that those over 40 (especially women) do not fear losing abortion rights. We will not stay home we will vote McCain rather than vote a man that played the race card to get elected. If Obama is nomiated watch MA results and you will know early that McCain will win the election. DROP OUT OBAMA!
What about the Issues?
My question is did everybody forget about the issues? Yes Rev. Wright is an interesting character but the fact is the race is about Hillary, Barak and John none last name is Wright. Economy, Healthcare Housing, War etc…. I understand that this RW thing is something to mention, but are we holding John McCain totally accountable for John Hagges remarks? You know that ones about Katrina, the Catholic Church, and riding around in his wife company plane and not considering it Corporate funding. Or Hillary's Pastor who agreed with some of Wright's comments or the other one who was found guilty for molesting a 7 year old girl. Or the I was against NAFTA but I was pushing it in luncheons as First Lady for my husband's sake, Let's not count Michigan and Florida because of the rules (by the way in a taped conversation saying to bad for them the rules are the rule) then changing her mind because it appears that she won them (Florida at least).
So let's talk about the issues and after that you and your viewers feel that Hillary, or John are better than Mr. Obama. Then vote the issues because the fact of the matter is they all change when they get into office and whether the phone rings at 3am or 6pm during dinner time we need the best person, calm and able to react to the root of the issue, on the other end of that phone.
Hilliary
Hilliary does not show the calmness and thoughtful necessary to be president. She is an opinioned, quick-draw hothead always wanting to appear to everyone as correct in everything she does. This kind of personality is quick similar to George Bush's. The 3 am phone call senario is scarier to me with Clinton at the helm than Bush. This is true even though I find nothing favorable about him. ... In addition, she is destroying the democrats. The democratic party will survive with fewer members and a brave face, but it cannot win in the fall with Hilliary.... Another thing, I am ashamed about the way she has played the race card. A hugh number of her supporters would not vote for a black man or woman and she has done everything to hold onto them as supporters by failing to completely denounce racist aspects of the campaign. Do you think the black voters are going to fall back in line, Hilliary? Don't count on it.
How Can Hillary beat John Mccain, when she can't beat Obama?
This is just a common sense, the best competitor is always the one that moves up to the next game not the loser, nor the person in the second place.
NO ONE NEED TO DROP OUT, NO MATTER WHAT DEMOCRAT WILL PREVAIL IN NOVEMBER.
Hillary and the Lunatics
Hillary must be the most powerful woman in the world to be so threatening to those with teeny minds. How scary to have a smart woman make the decision to run for the Presidency. It is time for woman to run for the highest office and it also requires that that first woman be qualified. Hillary Clinton is qualified and that is what scares some folks.
Obama will have his turn but after serving a bit more than 15 minutes we are supposed to believe that he is more qualified. Not. I would like to see him as President but not this time it is not his turn. It is time for the men in this country
to recognize that women have as much smarts if not more than a lot of men and after 200 years when we have qualified women in this country it is time to give us a chance. To which I add, I would not vote for Obama this time if he persists in believing that he somehow is the "chosen one". Do your service and wait your time Obama. It is not now.
