I can’t believe I’m rooting for Barack Obama. But it’s sort of like rooting for the Cleveland Indians, whom I really don’t like, to prevent a World Series appearance by the New York Yankees, whom I really really don’t like.
There is much about Obama that should give any American pause, and a conservative American for sure. But it is so gratifying to see Hillary Clinton lose – finish third, even – that you just can’t help but look at Obama post-Iowa and feel happy that he did whatever he did to pull it off.

I have a wooden stake. Who has a hammer?
The day after Iowa, I kept humming
“Ding dong, the witch is dead....”
even though it is pre-mature.
It would be great to see the Clintons out of the picture, but Obama could very well be our next president, and he’s a big liberal too.
Meet me at sunset at the graveyard...bring a couple extra stakes!
I want Hillary to win...We can beat her, but Obama....
If she somehow wins NH will she be called the “Comeback ****”?
Wooden stake...check
Crucifix......check
Garlic......check
Silver bullet.....check
Polished shield.....check
Bucket of water........check......
The problem is if Clinton loses these primaries, and Obama becomes the nominee, we’ll see her running for POTUS again in 2012, 2016, 2020....
Better to resoundingly defeat this POS in 08.
It's foot on the neck time for Hillary!. One of the things I have always admired about President Bush is that he seems to have an instictive feel for when pressure must be applied to finish off an opponent. I hope Obama has the same talent.
Yes, Obama will be tougher to beat than Hillary - but if we can’t come up with a candidate that can do it - then we don’t deserve to win. We have to give Americans a clear choice in 2008. A clear liberal or a clear conservative? This is how we will win the election.
Yes, IMHO, we have a better chance of defeating Hillary! than Obama.
You are absolutely right. A Hillary candidacy might actually unite the various Conservative elements, which currently seem to be lining up in the proverbial “circular firing squad” this year.
The Democrats, as usual, are playing the political game better than we are. By nominating Obama instead of Hillary, they deny us our greatest strength...the anti-Hillary feeling.
We, on the other hand, are “drilling” all of our own candidates that actually have a chance to win.
You’re missing “dropping a house on her”.
He scares me more.....I hear too many say they would never vote for her, but would vote for Obama.
I think we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg and the Clintons will stop at nothing.
I hope Obama doesn’t walk alone at parks at night...
Read Obama’s history. Not a pretty sight!
