If Huckabee is on the Republican ticket, Obama will be the next President.
Friday, January 4. 2008On to New Hampshire!
Huckabee and Obama landed first in the Iowa polls. (I'm not going to bother to find a link for this, because you can find an article on it everywhere--CNN, MSN... Perez Hilton...)
This sort of makes sense to me, I guess. The country would rather have a black guy who's concerned with welfare over a crazy white chick; I can dig that. It's the Huckabee win that dazes and confuses me. But you all know how I feel about Huckabee. What I was wondering is what everyone else thinks of this? Discuss. PS - Considering how much I care about this, it being my first official presidential election, I'm going to be writing a lot more politic-centered articles, and I was hoping that everyone else would do the same. I mean, I still don't know why Romney is so awesome. Someone needs to enlighten me. On that note, can we please have a political agenda? -bats eyelashes-

To quote one of my co-workers:
"I don't think you fully appreciate how strongly a large portion of the country feels about a black man - or a woman - as President. If the Democrats don't come up with a strong white male candidate, the Republicans will win." (I'm not sure how true it is, but I suspect it will be a major factor.) Wren on :
Oh, I think a HUGE part of the American population feels strongly about a female or black president. I think a surprising number are FOR it just for the fact that it's radical from a historical perspective. I know a LOT of people who are voting for Hilary BECAUSE she's a woman and for no other reason, and I know (of)a lot of people who are voting for Obama just because Oprah says.
Sideshow on :
Gender, and Race might be enough to get a candidate the Nomination. But when it comes to the general election neither one of them will help either person.

Says the man from the white-male-Christian-conservative capital of America - Orem Utah!
Ancient of Days on :
Honestly, I can't look at the current slate of candidates and see a single person I'm willing to vote for. Each of them has such strong negatives for me that I'm left considering writing in "Radar" on my ballot.
Wren on :
So, if there are no candidates that you like, who are you going to vote for?
You can't get away with deciding not to vote. I won't stand for it. Who's the lesser of all the evils, in your mind? Ancient of Days on :
I told you - I'm voting for Radar.
radaR on :
Not me. That guy scares me. He is way backward.
Wren on :
hahahah I lol'd

Speaking of Radar, someone who's flying under the radar is Ron Paul. Also I wouldn't count out Edwards at this point.

Edwards has a decent shot to be a player, but on the Demo side It's Obama and Clinton. Edwards was the front runner 4 years ago and couldn't get the nom, I wouldn't expect him to get it now against stronger competition.
As for Ron Paul, he's the neat quiet pick, who will do just enough to make some noise but not enough to actually do anything, Much Like McCain 8 years ago, or the General for the Dems 4 years ago. Popular pick but when it comes time just not enough juice. |
