Those that make it past that will not allow him in because of his inexperience.

I'd love to believe that, unfortunately I think that there are a lot of sheeple that will follow the silver tongued devil.  The fact that he has little experience in relationship to the issues won't matter much because there'll be a lot of folks that don't relate to the issues either.  By that I mean that I think he'll draw out the young vote more than it's ever been drawn out before with his chant of "Change, change, change".  He hasn't got a freaking clue as to what he's going to change or how he's going to change it, but he'll sell the rhetoric.  It's certainly not my intention to insult the young voters on this board, after all, you're a cut above  :-) :-)

well, when it comes to the debates between Obama and Romney ( a man of many hats Obama cannot even begin to compete with in the business world OR the govt) .. or Obama and McCain, McCain just flat has more time in the job and will smoke the kid.

Obama will surely be attractive to the younger set.. but the biggest block of voters in the country is retired, not the young, although the young people are concerned about the war. The problem is, they just dont vote in big enough numbers to matter yet.

Experience and trustworthiness typically win out.. especially during times of war. Nobody is going to feel comfortable giving a war to a kid my age. Obama has lots of time to be president, and he may yet be one day. So unless he pulls some major rabbit out of his hat to impress upon this country that he can drive this war in the right direction (and so far he has said everything wrong about iraq and iran) I just dont honestly believe he can win against the GOP.

Hilary has all those same issues as well; putting a woman in charge during wartime may be too hard for some people to imagine.

Again, Lauri, I certainly hope you're right; just afraid that the rest of the country won't be quite as rational about it as you are.  No sense arguing about it, we'll find out in November  :cheersmate:

the talking heads may never come out and say, "during war time the US needs and wants a man in charge" that would just be suicide... but believe me when i say, we are all thinking it.

and having said all that, i know the Dems wil get about 49 percent of the votes.. it will be razor close again unless our guy comes out swinging after the general and pulls no punches.

Give me a Margaret Thatcher and I'd vote for her in a nanosecond.  I don't think too many normal folks are leery of a woman in charge.  We've all had mothers.  It is Hillary Clinton.  She is a socialist political pig.  I wouldn't want her in my house.  I damn sure don't want her in my White House calling herself President.

oh definitely, its not that its a woman, its that its Hilary. NOBODY wants a kid in charge during war time, and NOBODY wants Hilary in charge during war time.

Although honestly, I cant think of many women who could be trusted with the office.. women that would appeal to both sides. Cause if our side ran a woman, the Dems would have to support her no matter what - at least thats what NOW seems to be saying.

I would just about bet on a Clinton/Obama ticket.....or visa versa...
They win.
Between the two they have the minority votes stacked in their favor and the money is there.

If Hillary wins the nomination, she will pick the Democ. senator from FL. That is a must win state for the Democraps. Obama would do nothing for the ticket because she is going to get the black votes anyway.

McCain is not a Maverick, Rush is the Maverick, he said it himself today.

 I pray the polls are wrong and Romney can pull this out. We'll obviously know more Tuesday night. Since I live in Calif. this will be the first time my vote might matter.

I wanted Nixon to win when Kennedy did and was disappointed .......

I was also very disappointed when Carter and Clinton won ........

..............but today I am scared for the well-being of this country.

Hell! I might as well write in "Mr. Snuggle Bunny", cause I believe that atleast he will do everything that he says he will and I don't believe that he will deviate from his plan.

The "others" I just don't have much faith in!

Here's 4 votes for Romney in Calif. The Bh family went all Romney. It will be more than cancelled out by other flamer family members but oh well, one for Obama and two for McCheater, that I know of.

Anecdotal: I was at a business meeting today and I noticed a woman had an "I voted" sticker on her blouse. I congratulated her on voting and she said, "Yeah, I crossed parties for the first time in my life." I didn't ask but I bet either she broke from the Republicans and went for B. Hussein Obama or the disbarred rapists political partner, the most cheated on woman in America. Can't see many libs breaking for McCrazy.

After giving it much thought ............................. and not seeing "Mr. Snuggle Bunny" on the ballot, I and the bride both cast our ballots for Mitt Romney.

Sorry Snuggle!

I'm revising my prediction to Clinton versus Romney. Despite the fact that John McCain appears to have the Republican nomination locked up, I have this persistent feeling that he won't get it. Does anyone else here have the same feeling?

It's going to be McLiar vs. B. Hussein Obama, he's out raising the Shrew 2-1 as he picks up momentum and people get more exposure to the rapists political partner.

Look for the media to start framing the McCain candidacy around his age compared to the carnival atmosphere of Obama's campaign. Look for the Drive-By's to carry the "change" message and use it against McCain. The Media wants Obama and they want him bad, partly because Europe wants Obama.

It is going to take all the strength I muster to vote for that POS McCain, but Gold help me I am going to do it.

He better pick a strong VP.

Obama seen meeting with John Edwards....hmmm...VP nod??

I also saw a blurb that said Condi Rice's name is being floated around for the GOP ticket. I don't know if that would ever happen but it would rock!!!!!!

Polls show most of Europe would be happy with Obama (Brits prefer Hillary) - I guess that tells you all you need to know!
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Newt said in a speech recently, "Would you rather have someone in the oval office who you disagree with 20% of the time or a Democrat where you disagree with the 90% of the time?" I'll have to hold my nose and go with the RINO and pray he brings solid conservative fiscal values with him.

Since Nov.2006, I've answered every Republican fund raising request with a big fat zero $$, told them I won't begin donating again until we have something like this on both borders north and south.

It is pretty hard to disagree with that logic; I have a feeling that McCain will lose the election because the Democraps are more energized. Just look at the voting numbers for D & R. A 2 to 1 majority in their favor. Plus, McCain's campaign reform bill will come back to bite him in the ass when his opponet raises more funds.

Unless there's some unforeseen campaign changing event, scandal, a game changer - or Obama's wife keeps disrespecting America - I think we're headed for a complete Democrat Congress and White House. 14.6 million Democrats voted on Super Tuesday compared to 8.3 million Republicans. God save us all, even if they only get 4 years, the damage they could do will take decades to reverse if it even can be reversed. Personally, I think Obama is slightly less dangerous than the rapists wife. As consolation, don't forget, we survived 4 years of Carter and 8 years with the perjury committing, disbarred, serial molester rapist.

I was pondering this the other day. 4 years of Clinton MIGHT lead to another Republican Revolution, the likes we had of in 1994. However, could McCain getting the presidency stir up 30 years of Dimocrap rule after an incompetent tenure? One has to wonder.
