Yep, I heard him speaking the other night after Iowa, and I said to my husband, “This man is VERY dangerous”. He “sounds” good, especially to those who don’t have a CLUE what he is talking about, or where he stands on the important issues that are facing our country.
He is invigorating, especially to those who are so “disaffected” by the war... They are looking for HOPE, and in their eyes, he is the one that will bring it after the last 8 years of war... He is very dangerous indeed.
I don’t personally know about the sex appeal factor (he doesn’t strike me personally as good looking at all), but he’s youthful, energetic, and an excellent public speaker. A perfect combination when you’re going after the young generation(s) who historically go liberal (before they grow up and learn the hard way). I honestly think Hillary would be easier to beat than him — unless the ties to his Islamic family in Kenya becomes a factor. Of course, then you’ll hear the same old thing touted out again — how all of us Republicans are just a bunch of bigots and racists (just like what our own leadership accused us of last year). I hope I’m way off base here...
I STILL think Fred Thompson could beat him though... :)
I hope that is true. This election is going to be down right dirty and drag 'em out into the street thumpin'.
I don't think we have faced an election like this for a generation or more, since about 1968 or so.
Obama will be stopped one way or another, as long as we put the facts on him forward. I have faith in America.
