This Republican hopes Obama wins Texas…



If Hillary won the nomination there is no doubt that she would have to ask Obama to be the V.P. If she didn’t, then she wouldn’t bring this groundswell of support with her into the general. In addition to the cult like following Obama would still bring with him, you would have Hillary as the “experienced” one.

No matter how one feels about Hillary, she is a very smart woman. She knows her stuff on foreign policy and she knows the inner workings of the Presidency and the decisions that have to be made that affect all nations. Even though she can’t make a stand right now about Iraq because of the far left base, she understands that we can’t withdraw from Iraq immediately. In other words with her knowledge and his charisma, the Hillary/Obama combo would be deadly.

But if Obama wins I don’t think he will pick Hillary, and even if he does, it won’t have the same impact.

    This Republican knows we need more than hope, we need action.

    I want Obama to win too but not for the reasons you stated. We shall see if your predictions are correct.

    It’s entertaining to watch the Democradolescents ripping up each other.

    What do you mean by “Which is exactly how it will continue to look in the general.” Based on what evidence or argument.

    *note: It’s my opinion. I think the more hard questions that are put upon Obama it will be clear that he is not ready for this. McCain has a vast amount of experience and leadership. Obama does not. Not yet. He’s barely been a Senator. I think the more the country sees them both answer the tough questions and not just give feel good speeches, then it will be clear who should be our next president and that will be McCain.

    By the same reasoning Sen. Clinton is certainly up to the task. As for McCain….well we recognize you have a soft spot for him, but just asyou find Sen. Clinton to be absolutely unacceptable, so do a huge number of Americans find Sen. McCain to be rife with scandal, and past his time. It was dispicable what was done to him by the Bush/Rove machine in 2000, but that is not reason enough to elect him. He was certainly an exemplary officer in VietNam, but that too is not reason to elect him President. He is out of touch, and without the necessary vigor for the job and the responsibility. His time has passed.

    *note: Trust me, I have seen him in action and has more vigor than most 30 yr olds. He has a long distinguished history of bi-partisanship (something Obama certainly does not). He has passed and sponsored more legislation for the good than Obama ever even dreamed about, much less accomplished.—TexasSparkle

    Be careful what you wish for. ;)

    Lest anyone forget: John McCain left his wife and kids for a younger woman (his present wife). Sorry, but in MY book, that shows he is sorely lacking in integrity and not deserving of the Presidency.

    *note: It was a mutally agreed upon divorce after both had been through hell. His ex-wife has never had a bad thing to say about him, which says more to me than anything.–TexasSparkle

    “He was certainly an exemplary officer in VietNam, but that too is not reason to elect him President.”

    It was enough for millions of Kerry supporters in 2004.
