Is it me, or do I detect that the only reason Obama is popular is because too many voters DO NOT WANT HILLARY? I had a discussion with a few of my Democrat friends last evening. All from NY. 3 out of the 4 said Hillary is an opportunist and had done nothing for NY. They would not vote for her. The 4th one was leaning towards Obama but thought that Mc Cain was a good choice too even though he wasn’t a Dem. The other 3 said if it was Hillary vs. Mc Cain, they would vote for Mc Cain. No one wanted to see the Clinton’s back at the White House. They also felt that Obama would eventually lose to Hillary, if he didn’t they’d still go with Mc Cain. I asked if they would vote for Huckabee and they all laughed. So folks here we go again, another election where the choice is who is the lesser of the two evils and a big opportunity for a 3 Party candidate to be the spoiler.
you are older, though.
obama v mccain - huge generation gap.
clinton v mccain - huge gender gap.
mccain will need some new ideas and future-looking eloquence to match obama.
