Rush live on FOX right now.
No one has as big of negatives in national polling as Hillary; Obama’s not our weakest opponent, and no, someone from Hope would not be able to crush him. A side by side election will likely favor the novelty over the preacher.
It depends on who the Republican nominee is.
Obama is exactly what the dems want. The general will pit the GOP against a far-left candidate. There should be a lot of cross-over dems by then.
No. He is the best general election candidate on their side and we will very likely lose to him. I’m gonna make a ton of cash on intrade in the process but it’s sad.
Many people on this site are enjoying attacking other Republicans. Good. Enjoy the years of Obama, you’re asking for it.
Hillary will savage Obama in the following primary contests. That will be ammunition the Republican candidate can use against Obama, and it will be guilt-free since Hillary brought it up first.
Hillary, otoh, is a known entity and many people don't like what they see.
He scares me—maybe as much as Herself does.
He is the rats strongest candidate.

(Unless the Republicans hand the Presidency to them on a silver platter, like they handed Congress to the Democrats in 2004.) (Don't put it past them.)
Obama is the most attractive candidate (by far), both personally and politically, but the electorate is going to consider him too naive, a babe in the woods, rather sweet but hardly someone to whom they would entrust the future of their children or the U.S.A.
Television is not kind to John Edwards or Hillary Clinton. Edwards is no doubt effective in a courtroom, but the television camera is far too revealing.
Huckabee, on the other hand, is a master of communication, including television, that John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan might envy. The television camera loves him.
It loves Romney too. It insists that he is a straight shooter--that you can believe what he says--and that he is a tower of strength, moral, physical, and intellectual, on which you can always depend.
Giuliani does well on TV too. It insists that he is a savvy, experienced sophisticate, who's been everywhere and seen everything--including 9/11--and can handle anything--including suicidal terrorists and decadent (and suicidal) "Liberals".
Unfortunately (for them) the Democrats are running against George W. Bush, and he's not a candidate. Against any likely Republican nominee, the three Democrat frontrunners don't stand a chance.
The Republicans are going to win the White House and both houses of Congress in November.
(Unless they decide to commit political suicide.)
(Don't put that past them.)
(Remember the Panama Canal giveaway? Prescription drug benefits as a new entitlement? The present Bush Administration--spending more money than any President since Lyndon Johnson? Open Borders? Amnesty for Illegal Aliens? Refusal to enforce America's immigration laws?)
(Don't put anything past the Republicans!)
(Especially snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory!)
Why can’t Iowans tell that he’s a Muslim terrorist sympathizer? Even libs can’t be this stupid!
Obama will be harder to beat than Hillary. If Thompson or McCain is the Rep nominee, it will be quite a contrast in ages. Obama could get more young people to vote, which could have an impact in key states.
he’s the strongest. laura ingraham summed it up, if he gets the nomination i think its bad news for us.
I may be too old to understand what’s going on?
Anyone else feel this way?
Obama is already moving his rhetoric toward the center of the political spectrum. I think he is going to be tough to beat in November, and I’m quite sure that Mike Huckabee would have no chance at all against him.
No. He is the best general election candidate on their side and we will very likely lose to him. I’m gonna make a ton of cash on intrade in the process but it’s sad.

Gotta love that title. Go, Hussein !! hahaaaa!
Everybody cool their jets, all this talk as if Obama and Huck are a sure thing, this is only Iowa, we’ve got a long way to go. A lot can happen between now and the nomination.
