I do believe this is the first time I’ve ever heard Barack Obama speak. THIS is the Democratic frontrunner? I’m mystified. He sounds like a used car salesman.
ALL politicians tell people what they want to hear, yet very few deliver on their promises 100% of the time.
Next Wednesday is the Pennsylvania primary. If Clinton wins that one, she must then win Indiana decisively given that her advisers have privately conceded North Carolina to Obama. Both will be held on 6 May 2008.
Serious question: What is it about Obama that attracts you? I have to believe it’s something other than what he’s been promising. He talks a good speech but I remain unconvinced of his capabilities in the general election. He’s not saying anything that’s substantively different from Clinton and yet people are flocking to him in droves. It seems as if his support is derived in part from an active dislike of Clinton as opposed to a personal connection with his candidacy. I can’t help but wonder if his supporters are setting themselves up for a fall.
IF he is the nominee, the last thing we want is another Michael Dukakis. History is a great teacher. In 1988, Dukakis won 45.6% of the popular vote to Bush Sr.’s 53.4% (426 electoral to 111 electoral votes). This election is ours to lose. It seems like we’re doing a bang-up job of that so far.
If you’re a Clinton supporter or someone who voted for Edwards or some other candidate during a previously held primary, I’ll get to all y’all eventually. Someone has to keep y’all entertained.
