With the help of all the conservative “Suicide Voters”, Obama stands a good chance.

The consensus solution to this dilemma would be to nominate the candidate who appears to have the best chance to beat the Republican nominee John McCain in the general election.

And how do the authors think that can be determined objectively?

I’ll speak simply so that the college lib arts “professors” can understand.
1. I’ll vote for someone who is conservative, regardless of race.
2. There are plenty of conservative blacks.
3. If they would run, I’d vote for them.
4. Obama is black, but is a liberal...a far left lib.
5. I won’t vote for him.
Clear?

It is pretty obvious that OBAMA can be ELECTED POTUS!!

The idiotic notion that we are a racist "NATION" is completely unwarranted and stated as fact ONLY by 'racists' themselves.

What scares me all to h.11 is that our nation is on the verge of electing a "SOCIALIST" as POTUS!!

That is SCARY!!

Is Obama Quadra-Lingual? I bet he speaks Indonesia, Swahili, and don’t forget Ebonese.

What has stopped the caring sensitive civil-rights supporting affirmative action liberals from nominating a black person in the past?? No one was stopping them. Of course, I’m sure we’re all going to be racist if we don’t vote for “Barry”.

“But this year’s race is unprecedented; a woman and black man, running neck to neck against each other to try and reach the magic number of 2025 delegates to lock the nomination.”

This is almost an exact repeat of what happened in our 2006 election for Governor in Massachusetts. A black man with zero experience in politics versus a white woman with some experience in politics.

The man with zero experience won, and it’s been an umitigated disaster so far.

I can already hear leftists like Mr. Potatohead (Tim Russert) and George Stephanopolis in that exchange - you've captured the fatuousness of the talk shows to a T.

Any criticism or disagreement with Obama will be casually dismissed as underhanded and racist. Heaven help us if he doesn't win. It will be characterized as evidence that Jim Crow is alive and well in John McCain's America.

“I don’t much like [Clinton] myself. She seems calculating, cold, and overly ambitious.”

Compared to McCain, who is calculating, cold, and not very ambitious.

If conservatives refuse to vote for McCain because his election would be even worse for our country than Obama or hillary, how is that their fault?

Conservatives were also blamed for not turning out in 2006. At LEAST half the blame was due to Bush and the Republicans for discouraging their base. But in those races, there were some good candidates who lost, like Rick Santorum, and that was indeed stupid of the voters who stayed home.

In this race, there is NOT a good candidate who will lose. There is a truly lousy candidate who would be able to put even worse things through congress than hillary, and who could not even be voted out of office for a Republican.

No, sorry, the Republican Party has made this mess, because they thought they could force the unacceptable on us. They will find that they cannot.
