Think about it Suzie. Obamma has taken the lead in the Dem primaries, without once playing the race or victim cards, which is the standard pottage from the Dem Black Caucus, which has been badgering the feds for hand outs and special privileges for years.
Obama is a self made mad, and has been ignored by the Dem Black caucus. Obama as president will break their former style of victim politics, releasing their lock on Black urbanm communities. Then maybe some progress can be made.
Obama will likel recieve votes from a large proportion of Conservative Republicans, if there is no conservative nominee in the Republican party, because Obama, and the RINO candidates are essentially all liberal in their policies. If a conservative has to vote for a liberal, then they will vote for a liberal from whom they will get the most mileage: Obama. Obama is head and shoulders above any RINO Republican candidate.
I disagree. He is a unbridled Socialist, and I don't want any of them anywhere NEAR the White House.
This isn't an academic exercise. Who sits in the White House come Jan. 2009 will go a long way toward determining just how safe we'll be in our own cities and towns, not to mention our military overseas. And those for whom abortion is a large issue, ANY RINO would be preferable, because there might be some chance a strict constructionist might get through the vetting process. With any of the Dems, there's no chance at all, and when the three older liberals retire off the Supremes, they will be replaced by even more rabid liberals than they. This would hurt our nation, judicially AND socially, for another generation.
