This is the Presidential Campaign Thread.

Barack Obama Vs. John McCain.

Edited November 6, 200817 yr by Toups

His thinking seems to be if Obama wins and picks a guys as his running mate Ms.Rice will help him win over white woman and if Hillary wins and doesn't pick Obama he can win over the black vote.

The only thing is women don't like Condi and Mccain prolife stance will turn alot of women off , as far as the blacks go i just read the he has yet to do a thing to reach out to black voters though many black voters would be willing to go over to him if Hillary wins the nom.

If McCain picks Condi Hillary will be pretty much forced to pick Obama if she wins and if Obama wins he will have to pick a woman but it still might not be Hillary he has at least one female on is VP short list.

Condi brings nothing to the table...she does not appeal to the necessary groups that will help them get votes: white men and women, African Americans (I do not even know of one black person I know that likes her), Asians, Hispanics, Independents, moderate leaning Democrats, undecided voters. She appeals to NOBODY.

I have been saying all along that the ticket needs to be Hillary/Obama or Obama/Hillary.

Also, Condi would get slaughtered in a debate. All she knows is terrorism (being that she, herself, is a terrorist but she did research on it as a professor), East European Affairs, and Russian history. Ask her a question on women's rights, education, the environment, social security, the budget, heck even Iraq, immigration, gun control, the economy and she won't know how to answer because she has pretty much never commented on any of those issues.

Hillary's campaign is imploding. If she somehow steals this nom.....

The Democratic Party can hang it up for a generation.

Well she can definitely bounce back right now after Obama's delegate's remark

Maybe.

And irf she does, I hope she can explain why Mark Penn is still working for her campaign after he was caught doing free trade business with Colombia. She "fired" him......

But he's still one of her chief advisors.

So........I'll be waiting for her to arrogantly explain that.

I think the comment from Obama's delegate is much more serious. I did not know about Mark Penn....gosh he is just bad news all around

And I think Mark Penn being with her campaign is much more serious.

Last I checked, Mark Penn did not utter a racist remark like Obama's delegate did.

And, while viciously wrong, let's see if he will take the same slow time it took Hillary to not ask GF to step down.

I am sure Hillary was super busy at the time that all happened but at least she got around to asking GF to step down....and this person's comment (Obama's delegate) is much more racist than GF

Now I don't agree with what GF said but the delegate appears to be worse to me.

Oh, I see.

She was too busy to ask GF to step down after making a blatantly racist remark.

Too busy.

Guess she was too tired form staying up at 3am answering the phone.

How can Obama's guy get sent to the gallows for making a truly disgusting statement about Jewish Americans, but Hillary was too busy when GF did the very same thing that offended many, many black Americans?

I don't know but that is how they treat Obama's guy differently from Hillary over Ferraro. If they don't ask them to step down right away, I completely understand.

I have also never stated that I supported Hillary's 3 a.m. phone ad.

But I'm not treating him differently. I have just said that what he said was just as offensive as what GF said.

Gotcha and yea they were both offensive so there is no need for either one to be a part of their support

McCain picking CondiLiar Rice will be a great thing. Shows how idiotic a decisio maker he is and that he's just as evil ans W, Cheney and CondiLiar, if not more so, as that Top 10 List of things about him make clear.

Hillary's campaign is imploding. If she somehow steals this nom.....

The Democratic Party can hang it up for a generation.

WHAT-EVAH. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will be the ticket as either Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton. THat's the best for the Democratic party and for the country. They will make an awesome team. I'm so sick of the in-fighting of some Clinton and Obama supporters. They need to stop it. I have. I've already reserached Obama quite a bit and do like him again and will have absolutely no problem voting for him in November as President. He will make a great President, as would Hillary Clinton. My pick of the two is Hillary, but I like and respect both very much and if either come closer to my area I will go and see them. Hillary came pretty close in Madisonville, but I had something already previously planned and didn't go and regret it, so hoping she comes somewhere around closer in the coming weeks (same thing goes for Obama).

Maybe.

And i f she does, I hope she can explain why Mark Penn is still working for her campaign after he was caught doing free trade business with Colombia. She "fired" him......

But he's still one of her chief advisors.

So........I'll be waiting for her to arrogantly explain that.

Mark Penn is NO LONGER working on Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign. He HAS been fired.

But I'm not treating him differently. I have just said that what he said was just as offensive as what GF said.

Geraladine Ferraro is NOT a racist, but Jeremiah Wright sure in the hell IS!
