Typical sexist blah blah blah. No you idiots, having been in a campaign or two the GOP is gleeful at the idea of an Obama nomination. They can’t throw anything at Hillary — it’s all been done. He is red meat. They are going to vilify him like never before. This guy has so many skeletons in his closets but we want to believe in his fancy words that have no substance. He has lied his way. His campaign is dirtier than hers ANY DAY. But sexism always beats racism.

If Hillary’s hopes are dashed on the night of Super Tuesday then I will go to church and persuade the priest there to have a special service of thanksgiving. Millions will attend.

Obama is scary because he is an unknown. His pandering to those who feel entitled to live off the work of others is certainly disconcerting, but I wonder what he would do once elected. JFK, after all, lowered taxes after running a left-looking campaign. Obama is intelligent; might he bow to reality and use his inspirational talents to push a new personal responsibility rather than demagogue against the “rich” if elected?

How do those of you who equate an inspirational leader with mindlessness square that with your adulation for Reagan? He was inspirational and much of his success was attributable to his ability to make people feel good about themselves. Were you a mindless supporter of his policies?

I Don’t want an Obama presidency, and will even vote for McCain, whom I dislike, if he is what the Republicans end up with. However, Obama seems to genuinely wish to inspire the country, and I will take an Obama administration over another ruthless, corrupt, do-what’s-good-for-Bill&Hill Clinton administration any day.

I can’t believe this charlatan (Obama) is getting a pass on so many things–his ties to crooks in Chicago, his heinous “church” (I hesitate to call it a church since it’s clearly not Christ-centered), his “present” votes, his laughable inexperience, his rhetoric not matching his actual (thin, but far-left) record, and the list goes on.

Indeed, as said above, the ignorant outnumber the thinkers. Not just the ignorant, though–people who vote based on stupid emotion and wishful thinking rather than logic.

Hillary sucks, but by God, Obama is WAY worse.

Right after Iowa, I was thinking wow! she lost! Now I’m thinking … oops! she lost (I’m a Republican by the way …)

But seriously waking up and knowing that Hillary is the new prez makes me feel like I’ve been socked in the gut. Waking up with Obama as the prez doesn’t make me sick to my stomach … but it does make me wonder if I’m incredibly naive.

If I were Senator McCain, I would have my staff start preparing a policy for dealing with a collapse of the North Korean and Cuban governments before the election.

While Team Obama is talking about taking the high road and Team Clinton hinting at about NoKo and Cuban contributions to one of their foundations, Team McCain can be making substantive policy proposals.

Ironically, Obama rise reminds me most about much younger Bill Clinton in ’92. I remember how in summer ’92 BJC candidacy was a laughinstock in all major media outlets. I remember cartoons with large figures of Bush and Perot and itty-bitty Clinton at their feet…

If Obama wins, the only “hope” will be hope that he doesn’t double my taxes. Once you get past the shiny packaging, he’s all about saving America with big government powered by more taxes – on the “rich”, of course. But somehow, Warren Buffet and George Soros are missed and they end up raising taxes on people like me, with decent salaries that we achieved after decades of hard work.

Internationally, he’s basically Jimmy Carter 2.0; I’d rather see Hillary than him if it comes to having to fight a war.

Now if he lowered taxes and got rid of the vast number of useless layabouts in Washington, that would be reason for “audacious hope”. But he’s just more same-old, same-old.

I’m not sure that analysis about Obama holds. The Clinton machine is not toothless and nothing if not ruthless.

If Obama gets the nomination and wins the Presidency chances are Hill is out forever. However, if the nomination is close and Obama loses the election she’s almost a shoe-in for the next nomination.

Therefore, what do you think the Clinton machine will be doing during Obama’s campaign?

“Not since the David Dinkins mayorial campaign in New York City, have I seen such hope behind a candidate.”

You’re joking, right? If not, then I’m OK with President Obama if it means he’s followed by President Giuliani.
