"He has been blessed with good looks, good luck, polished speaking skills and prodigious fund-raising abilities."
So has every pretty boy in Hollywood, and I have no interest in them governing me. Democrats need to do some serious soul searching if they intend to be taken seriously and win national elections.
Man, she hits it right on.....
Hillary/Obama in '08
The media sure didn't love JC Watts or Condi Rice or Colin Powell, wrong party..... MSM makes me sick.
Check out Michael Steele Lt. Gov. of Maryland. I think he would make a GREAT candidate in 2008. Of course, the MSM won't like him, he is the WRONG party for them.... He was a keynote speaker at the RNC. He is awesome.
I thought she was going to bring up US Senator Elect Martinez (R) FL. After all, same night, same office, bot addressed their respective conventions...where are the Mel stories?
I would bet a million bucks that you are RIGHT on THAT prediction!
You know, I don't remember Fox going ga-ga over Tran, either. So much for 'fair and balanced', huh Michelle? Or maybe it's because he only won a state legislature race?
Van Tran won a race as a Republican in California. Statistically insignificant to the MSM.
I think we need to face the fact that Obama is pretty much dripping with charisma and should be expected to be a major political star unless Hillary gets here claws into him or he somehow trips over his own pecker.
Of course if anyone can screw up his chances it's the DEM leadership.
Wow! Even in an article demolishing the myth, the mythbuster perpetuates the myth. Barracks Oboomer is "good looking"???!!!
He won a race as a Republican in Orange County. It would have been a bigger story if he had lost.
A star is born, NOT!
LOL. That's what I was thinking. We were watching the news the other night and my niece . . . she's eleven . . . said, "He looks like Diddy after being on crack for a month."
For those other old geezers who don't know who or what a Diddy is, I give you . . .
Evidently, although I was too embarrassed to ask, a "Diddy" is the same as a "Daddy" and in today's "with it" shorthand the "Puff" part is supposed to be understood.
Comprende now? Me neither but just nod your head, lower your shoulders, and strut like you've got a corncob up your patoot and an avocado trapped between your knees and eleven year-old nieces think you're cool.
I would like to see Michelle Malkin as AG. She has, among other qualifications, common sense that is lacking in far too many of our politicians
Ah! Good one. And while we're on the subject, I forgot to mention those "polished speaking skills" that Michell references. Now I will admit, I've never heard the man speak, but as I've noted on another thread, the standard msm take on ALL unknown minority stars is that they are GRRRRREAT speakers. Being unknown, they, by definition, have no records to run on, so the great speaker tag is an easy fall back position. His speaking talents are undoubtedly much the same as Jesse Jackson's. Hey, here's a good riddle for you, courtesy of Nat. Review. During the 2000 FLA recount, why was it not good for Jesse to go around whining about disenfranchisement? Answer: nothing rhymes with it!
I'm not trying to sound stereotypical here, but his very name will be a hinderence to him if he ever vies for national office.
