Boy Obama and Angry Tancredo
[Note: Changed “Baby Obama” to “Boy Obama”]. Two of the worst choices for President have announced their 2008 ambitions, reminding me of Dennis Kucinich’s failed 2004 bid. All three represent scraping the bottom of the barrel for candidates. Obama is just to inexperienced and is just tired old liberal in new packaging. It would be nice if he could successfully finish his first Senate term before presenting is naivete to America. Sad to say, but Edwards has more experience than Boy Obama.
And the angry Tancredo who called Florida is another loser who would be better not to insult America with his presence. A Buchananite of the first order Tancredo always seems only a breath away from being an Aryian Nation type. Hopefully these early options don’t represent our only options in 2008
Neither of these two candidates(and that’s liberally defining the word) are going ANYWHERE. Neither has ANYTHING to offer. Nothing.
Boy is Obama in for a surprise. His flame will ‘flame out’ about Iowa, or before. He must be a glutton for punishment or has been terribly mislead by all the formerly MSM fawning over him.
Fortunately for us, and unfortunately for him the formerly MSM doesn’t vote.
Tancredo, I’ve already said too much about him.
On the other hand, anyone can grow up thinking they could be president. (As long as they’re American born.)
That Osama will run? It shows ya that all is not peaceful in the democrapic camp. He may be running because he “likes the thought.” OR? He may be angling to get himself some “power.” How else would you play the hand dealt him? He supposed to wait to be called?
Wasn’t that the number run on Reagan? He had to circumvent it.
While all this “talk” seems to marginalize the guy who IS president.
But the guy who IS president doesn’t want to engage the media. Which seems like a bright move on his part.
You also don’t know how the president is playing the GOP deck. Because he “could” front run condi. Placing her, perhaps this summer, in Cheney’s spot. While Cheney ducks and says “his health is not up to par.”
While the Libby case has about two months to go.
And, the UN is bouncing around “death in Iraq” numbers. So it’s not as if the media isn’t trying to hijack Iraq. While it also feels that “nothing much is happening.”
Bush could also “front run” Guiliani. Or some other “placement,” to replace Cheney.
It’s not as if politicians aren’t out there weighing options.
While for most Americans? I don’t think Osama resonates. (But then I don’t think condi would, either.)
“Color” cards seem to work better for judgeships. Where you can elevate people “the affirmative action” way.
Among the problems out there, for the donks, seems to be a very weak field. Where are they going to attract talent?
Short term goals could be fed by throwing out Obama, and trying to make a running horse out of him. But wouldn’t that bring up the problem that hillary failed to connect?
And, it seems the donks want to assure themselves of their own “guaranteed” turnout.
Even the GOP doesn’t have quite that kind of a lock on any group.
As to anyone being like Pat Buchanan; I think the ambitious man would look at the fact that Buchanan, himself, can’t attract enough voters to get matching funds.
Besides. People are not going to SOUND RACIST in public!
Where you might see voters backing away, however, would come from what voters actually do.
And, voting for John Edwards is just as incipid as voting for unknown qualities in blacks, and females.
If this was a musical. And, the musical was “out of town,” you’d call this show “in trouble.”
Doesn’t mean professionals don’t get hired to doctor the lame. But then what happens? You expect a hit? I expect the show to fail. And, there’s lots of in-between stuff that could also happen.
In other words? Obama is shaking down hillary! Letting her know he “doesn’t come cheap.”
Other than that? If this were a real race, you’d claim he was “peaking too early.”
Why does it matter, now? There’s nobody coming to us to collect money. It’s just gruel for the mill. Blame this stuff on 24/7 store hours kept by the media.
Won’t amount to a hill of beans in the long run.
Think back to January, 1999. Who was the Republican front runner? Not sure, but I’d wager it wasn’t George W. Bush. No one outside of Texas even knew Bush 41 had a son named George. Jeb, yeah, but George? Nope, don’t think so. My bet is that the 2008 GOP candidate is probably not even on the radar yet; at least I hope not, because I’m not real thrilled with the current crop of wannabes.
Now on the Dem side, in spite of conventional wisdom, the story looks much the same, but at least one candidate lends herself to a bi-partisan bumper sticker. I got this in a e-mail today:
At last, a bumper sticker for both parties.
FINALLY, someone has come out with a 100% bipartisan political bumper sticker. The hottest selling bumper sticker comes from New York State . . . . .
“RUN HILLARY RUN”
Democrats put it on the rear bumper.
Republicans put it on the front bumper.
My recollection, after W got re-elected, he became front runner, that must have been right about Jan 99. But you’re right, I don’t believe the Repub nominee is on the horizon yet. If he is, I don’t know who it is. I’ll bet it’s not McCain.
This is pitiful. Tancredo started that Illuminati thing which is just bizarre. If I remember correctly he called Florida a third world country or some such and that got all the Florida Republicans pissed at him. The man can not get out of his own way.
And I just can not believe that a man whose name is Barack Hussein Obama is going to be winning the White House or even the nomination at this point in history. God knows I have been wrong before, but I just do not see that happening.
FE, in some respects I like McCain better than most of the other potential candidates, and I might bring myself to vote for him, especially if the choice were between him and Hillary. But McCain has two, I believe, insurmountable problems: his age — he’ll be 72 in 2008, making him 3 years older than Reagan (who many people said was too old) at innaugeration; and by opposing Bush’s tax cuts and co-sponsoring McCain-Feingold, he’s pissed off more Republicans than he can hope to replace with Independents.
Whoever takes Texas will take the election. Obama doesn’t stand a chance in Texas.
Spook, I too like McCain in some ways, and right now would vote for him ahead of any Dem I know. I didn’t like his stand on torture, McCain Feingold, the gang of 14, and wasn’t he the daddy, along with teddy of the senate comprehensive immigation bill. I would have to hold my nose to vote for him, but still ahead of any Dem I know.
By the way, Edwards was a classmate of mine in college. That school didn’t endorse him for Pres. strange huh.
By the way, isn’t the gov of CA a Repub (ino). That’s better than being a dem in any category, I guess.
Obama doesn’t stand a chance in the country.
