I’m afraid that this all happened too far away from Election Day. It will probably be forgotten by the GE in November.
What’s your opinion? Is there a chance this will kill his chances of getting the Dem nomination? If he does get past the Dem Convention, will this help John McCain in the Fall?
If Obama doesn’t get the nomination, Hillary loses a lot of black votes, and she doesn’t have enough positives to overcome her negatives. Without the black vote, she has no chance.
If Obama does get the nomination, he loses to McCain...unless there are a lot more anti-McC nuts out there than are here on FR. This little fracas has brought reality back to the delusional Republicans who were a little in love with the idea of voting for a black person, and probably turned off the Reagan Dems, and blue collar guys and gals..
McCain isn’t my first, second, third or even fifth choice, but he stands far above the other two, and I for one will not throw away my vote.
What I find amazing is that everybody says he has this wrapped up when the truth is he will never get enough delegates to get to 2024 before the convention.
Therefore BILLARY will not get out or let this die because she can easily turn this around if he comes into the convention unelectable and trailing McCain badly in the polls.
The VRWC is just getting warmed up, Obama is a Marxist with ties to terrorists, and his wife is not first lady material either.
McCain will have no trouble beating either of them.
