Should the CANDIDATES make "electability" arguments? No but it didn't stop Obama |
|
Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 03:35 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
Obama lost my vote in the general election by speaking for it. Obama said "his" voters wouldn't vote for candidate Clinton but her supporters would vote for him. That's when I decided to sit out the GE presidential race if Obama is nominated.
It has something to do with me donating money I don't have to my candidate, and then Obama coming along and sticking his hand out to take my vote and indirectly my money. You'll get it when I give it to you and when you earn it not when you say it's yours.
The candidates shouldn't make "electability" arguments because it will come back to bite the nominee, whoever it is, in the ass. Clinton talks about her national security advantage but not in terms of electability, in terms of competence.
Obama never looks to the good of the party post-nomination he's made it clear he doesn't give a shit what happens if he loses.
It's low class and leaves a bad after effect to hear "electability" arguments from a candidate.
They should leave it to staffers, supporters, managers pundits to make that case.

1. What did you do before the internet? |
|
How did you deal with every random thought? Did you write them down, put 'em in bottles and chuck 'em in the ocean?

3. Being electable is a factor in an election. Over and out. n/t |

4. The only reason Clinton doesn't make "electability" arguments... |
|
is because of the fact she loses those arguments. She IS the least electable of all of the Democratic candidates for president.

6. So you're back to not supporting Obama in the general election? Voting for the Republican? |
|
We all kinda knew that you would.

7. So, if Obama gets the nomination |
|
We can expect these silly posts of yours to stop right? I mean you're not going to vote for him anyways.
