I want Obama to lose, but I don’t want him to lose because he’s half black. That would be a sad reason to lose.
Obama is speaking now He sounds good...He has a lovely family..
I first heard him when he spoke at the Dem convention when he was running for Senate...I was surfing the TV channels and they announced him so I listened..at the time I thought that man will go far..but I never thought he would go this far..good for him...
He would be much harder than Hillary to beat..even if Romney was the Rep nominee...
the mormons wont vote for him because he is a black man and they listen to their leaders on who to vote for...the mormons will vote for Romney...
But Obamas would get the black vote, the white Dems and quite a few Republicans...
Obama is not running on his religion and Obama is not claiming that he marched with anyone...his life is more open than Romney’s...
If FRed is the nominee I’ll vote for FRedx...but anyone else and I’m going to write in Duncan...
If Duncan Hunter is still in the race Feb 5, I’m going to vote for him in the primary...
I hope that Duncan Hunter will be on the Rep ticket with FRed...
FR is slowing down, just watched the 10 o'clock news local & switched to Des Moines.
Of all the candidates, I personally thought Obama had the most charisma. I don't hold his race (he's running as a black but he is bi-racial) against him at all, it is what he stands for that I would never support him personally. Agreed that his race would be a sad reason to lose, but I was just passing on a take from someone in a southern state who tracks things, a much more liberal Republican than I.
Now the numbers are flying fast and furiously. Obama is the big winner in Iowa, guess that means he scored the majority of total votes. Nationally they are still showing Hillary ahead. Not sure how that will play out or if it's media hype.
Here are some more numbers on the turnout, think they are probably for my county. 218,000 Democrats, 184,000 Republicans. Huge turnout especially in the cold and snow, roads pretty good. We are in a blue area, disappointing but no big surprise.
The Republicans had a terrific turnout, no shovels for us, remember I see my part of the state as a blue area. SRO in one place and lots of new registrants. The county chairman is very pleased. So let's hope it keeps up!
The big surprise to me are the huge numbers throughout the state for Obama, no surprise locally. These are largely white votes and a lot of the women they were expecting to go for Hillary.
Republicans and Democrats alike got schools for polling places, don't know why my two precincts the Republicans had to share a supermarket dining hall. The Dems got the school for the same two precincts.
From my POV.
