Re: Official Election 2008 thread
and as far as the repugs are concerned, i hope mccain is thier nominee. he is a long time serving senator, and his loooooooong senate voting record will come back to haunt him in the fall, when the general election season kicks off after labor day. no senator who has tried to run for prez, has won an election since 1960, the propel john kennedy to the white house. the fact that you have two senators duking it out on the democratic side isnt good news either. and thats going to be a tough race up until super tuesday on feb. 5th. as far as concerned, all states, including new york, are up for grabs and will be close between obama and hillary. the exception being south carolina and IL. in all honesty, as someone who wants to see the repugs lose in november, the guy i fear the most is mitt romney. this guy, as msnbc's chris mathews pointed out, campaigns like jerry farwell. he is a george w. bush clone and he knows it, or he wouldnt be running. huckabee is a joke, and mccain cant win because of his long senate voting record. the guy i fear the most is really mitt romney, the gov (or is it fomer? i cant remember) of massachusets. A northern republican and a governor, not a senator. And every president since jimmy carter won the 1976 election, with the exception of senior Bush (reagans VP) has been a sitting or former governor. Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and Dubya Bush. but so far Romney has only won one primary so far, and that was wyoming. Rudy Guiliani will not get very far at all and watch for him to drop out after super tuesday. A Northern Repug Governor, going up against northern democratic senators, is an uphill battle for the dems. The Last three democratic party presidents were all southern democrats. Why? Because a Southern Democrat is a Northern Republican and vice versa, a Northern Republican, is a Southern Democrat.
