I prefer McCain, but Clinton would be ok. In such an unhealthy economic climate, America (and the world) simply cannot afford Obama. I hope US voters don't get sucked in by his charisma (which seems to disappear whenever he thinks he isn't on camera) to the point that they actually make him president. |
Fixed. McCain is nothing more than an extension of Dubya. Hillary is a good liar and Obama actually has done something in politics that hasn't been seen in years - he's getting the average person interested in politics again. His base is a ton of small donors and his message of hope resonates big time among everyone. I've never, ever seen a candidate that made white women giddy, black men proud, older men say 'He reminds me of JFK' and the GOP cringe.
Hillary, while I loved Bill, has lied and just says 'Oh, I'm sorry.' I don't want an old bag (McBush) or a liar (Hill) on the end of that 3 a.m. phone call. I want someone who is coming into the mix without cowboy diplomacy, who doesn't mind talking to our enemies to figure out what's going on and really, really wants every American to get health care - plus doesn't take money from lobbyists. That's a biggie for me. I want someone who will UNITE the U.S., not divide it further.
Seriously, for Hillary to win really goes against the face of belief. She would be the first Dem to come from behind via superdelegates and win the nod. Starcraft, my down-under homie, for this to happen, it would be explained as 'She has the best chance of beating McCain' but it would be a lie because a ton of folks would stay home and show the Dems what the deal is. I am not playing - if she wins it fair, sweet - but after it's all said and done, and Obama is still on top, and the Supers side with Hill, I can tell you for a fact she's lose the White House. The black vote is a major key for any Dem victory. If she wins the nod fair and square, they'll vote for her. If not, they'll stay at home.
