McCain was the ONE republican that I would have voted for. Seems to me that the parties separate themselves this way, Republicans meet and agree on what the issues are and how to address them. It was them that came up with 'talking points'. Democrats on the other hand have a myriad of issues and solutions, each person has his or her own, it's a freeforall. I tend to agree with one party one certain issues and with the other on others.
McCain was the one Republican who wasn't in lockstep with the others, you know, an independent thinker. He was my right wing guy until he, with conscious effort moved his position more centrist.
Mrs. Clinton. I like her policies for the most part. I worry about her electability because of her supposed reputation as a bitch. I am not as impressed with her experience as the rest of the nation. After all does she really have any more than Obama? When she traveled as First Lady, she hosted and was hosted at parties. What state function did she serve?
I'm kinda buying Obama's fresh face thing. I'm leaning towards voting for him and if I said his Blackness had nothing to do with it, I'd be lying. But it's not a driving force as I didn't vote for Sharpton or Jackson in their run. Yeah the guy is somewhat naive, but before Bush got his seat even his own part called him dummy. As for his experience, he served in State government and is a first term Senator in the Federal government. Mrs Clinton serves as a first term Senator in the Federal government.
Edwards Chief of Staff or something, maybe even VP
Giuliani? Really? He's an embattled ex-mayor
Ideal ticket given whose running:
Obama/Clinton
Obama/Edwards
Clinton/Obama
Clinton/Edwards
in that order
I wanna say tho, I don't think we're gonna elect a Republican this time. I think that Mr Bush fucked up so bad that it just won't happen. That said, we are about to put a Black man or a woman in the most powerful seat in the world. I think we need to stand up and take a bow. This will be the closest thing I've to pride in being American.
