A Female President: Is America ready?

[Blarg]

Yup. I have heard some folks saying she's thought to "deserve" the nomination. But whether that's true or not, or why, doesn't really matter. Giving her her just desserts, if that's what this is partially about, doesn't have anything to do with winning elections.

The Dems just seem to be totally at a loss as to what to do in practical terms.

Which opens the door very wide for that white knight in shiny armor to swoop in after all the mudslinging and save the day for the dems. Go Gore!

[Taso]

I think the dems are really expecting Al Gore to run - if he does, I'll probably switch my vote from Rudy to Gore.

[BUTNAHHHH]

republicans dont fear anyone on dem ticket,BC america isnt ready to elect a woman or a black man, majority of men will not vote for hilary, and a majority of everyone will not vote for a black guy with the middle name of hussein.

A Neither rudy nor McCain will ever get elected as the Rep nominee. It will either be Romney or Thompson with Fred the most likely nominee.

B Obama can beat both of them fairly easily if he runs a good campaign given this is a change election.

C If get the nomination he will select Obama as his VP...and the election is essentially over.

You seem very optimistic about where America is at racially. If it's there at all, I think it's mostly in the big cities, and even then, mostly on the coasts. That leaves most of the country out. We're a long way from the point at which a black guy can "fairly easily" beat white guys.

The whole Obama can't win cuz he's black is retarded. The majority of the states where the racial factor might prove a problem are states no Democrat will carry.

A woman is a much bigger problem than a black man. Especially given the hate for Hillary + the fact she is dull and old news.

Can you explain why you think this, please?

I used to like McCain (several years ago) but now I think he's sounding pretty nutty. I watched some of the debates and I wasn't impressed with him. I think he's acting kind of like a crazy old guy. Reminds me of a nutty grandpa.

Rudy is too conservative for my taste but I have to say that of all the Republican candidates, he speaks the best. He's very commanding and comfortable in front of cameras. Very natural acting.

McCain has flip-flopped so many times he has ruined decades of enormous, practically worshipful credit. He has crashed pretty hard and it's hard to take him anywhere near as seriously these days.

McCain is hated by a large portion of the conservative republican base...plus they don't trust him despite all his ass kissing to Bush. Rudy is socially liberal.

The far right want a canidate who will essentially do what they want on social and religious issues.

Katy--u must not have seen much of Obama but he is essentially known for his speaking and his ability to WOW a group of people..even a group of republicans
