Poll: Obama would be tougher candidate against McCain

Can somebody preferable a white person or a person with Jewish decent tell me with all we know about Obama and his church and his links to Lewis Farrakhan tell me why you would still vote foe him?

EXECELLENT QUESTION...I've been wondering that myself.

Young voters...with no real life experiences who have no clue about the reality of who Osama REALLY is.

I think that his motives are not in the best interest of this country, but his own best interest, and I don't believe that he truly LOVES AMERICA.

I believe that evil exists...and I believe that Osama is truly all about a change we can believe in...I just happen to think that it WILL be a change for the WORSE, not the better.

Poll: Obama would be tougher candidate against McCain
Personally I believe all three candidates are lacking however in response to the forum question I agree. The reason is simple if you are happy with the status quo you vote for McCain the republican, Clinton represents status quo as well, on the democratic side of the issues. So basically I see this as a closer race because of party lines. Obama, in addition to the party faith full, will bring out the young voters making this an election of unpredictability.
The key to this race just may be the Vice Presidential candidates:
McCain -- needs someone to galvanize the religious right, experienced enough and young enough to step in if need be. The country will be questioning McCain’s age weather he likes it or not.{Most likely Milt Romney)
Clinton – if nominated could use Obama as a running mate however that is not likely to happen. It would not be in his best interests because he is young enough to try a few more times for president and may not wish to be tarnished by another’s agenda. Clinton needs someone with crossover appeal desperately so she can carry the larger states in a general election.{John Edwards}
Obama – pure and simple he needs the Hispanic vote and someone to appeal to the older more established democrats.{Bill Richardson.}
I believe, maybe incorrectly, most Americans are seeking a new path right or wrong. Obama, though inexperienced, offers that to voters, Can he pull it off if it elected? I really have no idea however the USA seems ready for anything other than the same old, same old. Maybe it is time to turn it over to the younger generation of voters afterall.

After Bush, our nation is ready for change. Right now we owe so much money to China and Japan that our image as a strong independent nation is beginning to look a lot more dependant and after five years in Iraq we look a lot less strong.

Smaller nations like Iran and Venezuela, has already said that our US dollar is worthless paper. Other nations whose monetary system is pegged to the US dollar are looking for ways to drop the ties that bind them to us.

Right now, the world is changing. Bush made no preparations for that change. The smaller third world nations are also the nations with the oil, the natural gas and the other natural resources that we have become accustomed to having. Bush used war to try to get what we needed. But the Iraqis and the Afghans has proven that they are willing to fight – something that must have not been considered by Bush.

McCain has said that he’s prepared to stay in Iraq until we win. Win what? The oil contracts… Iraq is a sovereign nation. If they choose to once again nationalized their oil and keep all profits for Iraqis or even switch back to using the EURO instead of the US dollar, that's their right. And that’s also some of the reasons that oil contracts have not been signed.

Hillary says she wants our troops out but she voted to authorize the war. Plus she seems to see things that aren't there. Like the snipper fire at Bosnia.

And then there’s Obama who says he would talk to our enemies who by the way are the nations with the oil and natural gas. We can either talk to them or continue to launch invasions based on misinformation and lies and we could continue to occupy nations that clearly do not want us there.

Under the circumstances that we find ourselves in, I do believe that Obama would be the best candidate against McCain and I believe he would win.

A loss to McCain would mean more of the same.

Why all caps? Do they make you feel like a big boy?

The pansy republicans are scared to death of Hillary. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And after what those creeps tried to do to her husband for 8 years, and then another 8 years of total corruption, they have good reason to be concerned. If she wins I hope she goes after these republican criminals and traitors and puts their candyasses in prison where they belong.

Oh yea like Bill and Hilliary aren't corrupt.

The only reason no democrat stands a chance in Florida is because of the voting methods will not allow an honest count. I don't buy the WSJ as an honest informant. They have been so exceedingly dishonest in the past that everything they say is suspect. I don't know why you would say that the people in Florida are so immoral that they would vote for McCain. Certainly there are decent people in Florida.

I think your response is typical of Obama supporters.
Senator Obama needs to cling to his slim lead, NO MATTER WHAT!!!! If that means stopping the June 3, 2008 primary re-vote in Michigan, so be it.
Also, any message that an Obama supporter doesn't agree with, it ends up as "Shoot the Messenger."
Of course, anything that is not 100% pro-Obama, the message AND the source become suspect.

Wallace---"Oh yea like Bill and Hilliary aren't corrupt."

The republicans cowards spent 8 years and 100 million dollars investigating the Clintons and all they could come up with was a head job from a consenting, ADULT female, something your average conservative pedophile can't stand. But since you know so much, why don't you tell us how they were corrupt. Then tell the pedocon Kenneth Starr, because I think he would really like to know.

all are disfunctional.
but i'm going the big D this time.

Just over a week ago, Senator Obama’s operatives in the Michigan Legislature got the the Michigan primary re-vote that was scheduled for June 3, 2008 killed. Great going Tupac Hunter & Buzz Thomas (you can google these two Michigan legislators and you might understand why they are Senator Obama operatives).
This June 3, 2008 primary re-vote pitting just Senator Clinton vs. Senator Obama was going to be run fairly and professionally, just like any other primary has been run in the state for the past several decades.
That wasn't good enough for Senator Obama who fears that Senator Clinton would win a one-on-one primary re-vote in Michigan, and will have nothing to do with it, even if it means stopping the voters from having their say in the nation's 8th largest state.
But…what about Senator Obama’s continued claim of “NOT politics as usual???”
I will never be able to vote for Senator Obama. For his operatives (with Senator Obama’s full support) to completely and absolutely disenfranchise the voters of the 8th largest state in the nation is unforgiveable.
When it comes to playing politics, Senator Obama is not just like the rest of them…he’s showing to be WAY worse than the rest of them. No wonder he’s trying to run out the clock and wants Senator Clinton to drop out now. What else are we to find out about Senator Obama in the coming months?
Is this the "Change we can look forward to believing in?"

This is exactly why he pulled his name off the Michigan ballot in the first place, he knew he was going to lose. Of course he knew Fl and MI would HAVE to be seated.
It shocks me, the prominent Dems who have endorsed him. I do not feel like I am that stupid... but I keep asking myself what am I missing? I thought the guy was ok at first, a great speaker... but after months of listening to hot air, lies, and seeing his weak nature, I just don't get it.
The media is SO pro Obama it makes me ill. About the only thing I can watch anymore is Lou Dobbs, he doesn't take sides and knows there is a big bias against Hillary.
If the primary season started today, and people knew today what they did not know when they blindly cast their ballots, he would be out before Edwards. And sadly, the super delegates still support the misinformed votes.
This is scary business, because he has a real good shot at winning it all.
I am for Hillary. If she is not the nominee, I honestly do not know what I will do. I just do not trust this man and I think there is so much more to come out.

I AM A DEMOCRAT THAT WILL VOTE FOR McCAIN. AND IT IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER VOTED FOR A REPUBLICAN...WHY CAN'T THE DEM'S FIND A GOOD PERSON TO RUN??????????

Interesting

I'm a republican and voting DEMOCRATE.
OBAMA all the way.

John Kennedy had much more relevant experience. The Obamanites in their zeal to cover their man with the Kennedy mantle overlook the fact that Kennedy served 6 years in the House of Representatives and 8 years in the Senate (a total of 14 years for those that can't count). He demonstrated a strong interest in foreign policy, social welfare and civil rights. How does that compare to Obama's 2 years with a failure to hold a single meeting of his committee?

I'm an independant who usually votes republican, however this go round Obama has my vote.

Hillary has fought a dirty campaign and that crap is old.

As for McCain he's an extension of Bush who in my opinion is the worse president in US history.

No to a War for the rich, and No to illegal aliens period !

That's exactly right, not to mention JFK's heroic service in the military.

It's too bad that Edwards didn't stick it out.

I am an independant who will vote for McCain. I tend to vote for who I think will do the best job for this country. Sadly I'm not thrilled with McCain, but I like him far better then Hitlary, and as far as Osama is concerned, I wouldn't vote for him if I had a gun to my head. I'd rather be shot then see what he would do to this country!

Are you aware that Obama supports Amnesty for illegal immigrants? I'm with you. I could never vote for Hillary, but quite frankly I have a problem with Obama's policy on illegal immigration. McCain has since backed down on his support of Amnesty, but he too seems to want to skirt that particular issue.

Obama is NO way qualified to be president. A freshman senator with NO executive experience and VERY little legislative experience does not cut it. Extremely poor judgement was exercised in dealing with "Rev" Wright, a typical race hustler and America hater.(Don't forget that the white man invented Aids to hurt black people, PLEAZZZ.) Rev Wright is a LUNATIC and Obama wrote this idiot a $20,000 check. However, women will vote for him because he is handsome, blacks will vote for him because he is black and God only knows why so many whites are voting for him.

Do you REALLY think that Osama will do anything to fix either situation?

PLEASE do your homework...Research the man and find out who he really is before you cast your vote for him. He is a VERY SCARY prospect.

Do you even know where obama stands on the issue of immigration! HA!
From his website:The time to fix our broken immigration system is now… We need stronger enforcement on the border and at the workplace… But for reform to work, we also must respond to what pulls people to America… Where we can reunite families, we should. Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should”

— Barack Obama, Statement on U.S. Senate Floor, May 23, 2007

Where we can bring in MORE!!!

I travel all over the world on a regular basis, I see how we were once (recently) admired and how we are now viewed (agressive idiots). Our leaders set the tone !

I've had people ask me why did Americans vote for Bush ! Initially I answered, the option was worse. After is second election we were viewed as a nation of idiots. Americans cannot be loyal to parties, we have to elect the wisest choice.

McCain is a crumpy old war vet, who is way out of touch with the rest of the country and the world and a continuation of Bush.

Hillary Clinton is also an old out of touch woman who represent politics as usual. Special interest rule.

I'm Jewish and have disregarded all the religious (Paster Wright) nonsense and plan on voting for Obama. Only foolish individuals or people who never intended to vote for Obama will choose to villanize him for the Paster Wright comments.
