Obama is an intelligent, well-spoken candidate. Mike Ditka would have gotten his ass kicked.
If how mellifluous a candidate speaks is your standard, then Mario Cuomo would have kicked George Pataki's butt in 1994.
Maybe....but does anyone know where this guy stands on the issues?
P.S. What I read before Ditka said "No thanks," is that he had an excellent chance of beating Obama.
He's the same old urban Democrat socialist - his views and policies are nothing new or exciting.
Ditka is a hero to many Illinois sports fans. He is a plain, direct speaker with plenty of live television experience and can clearly hold his own with Obama. And I wouldn't be so rash as to say that he was not as intelligent as Obama - constantly portraying yourself as intelligent does not equal true intelligence.
Most importantly, Ditka can appeal to Reagan Democrats who love his old team as well as Republicans of every stripe statewide.
There was a day when people said that Julian Bond would one day be President.
Neither he or Obama will ever occupy that seat.
Americans will vote for a black man, but not if he's a socialist.
Yes, Obama is as sleazy a scumbag as I have ever seen.
Nearly Clintonesque.
Something tells me the name alone will cause him a lot of grief.
Obama is just another socialist disguised as a Clintonian New Democrat.
Au contraire, mon ami. (A little French lingo there to prove I'm not prejudiced against frogs.)
Mike Ditka would have walked all over that muslim-monikered dude like a doormat.
