Which candidate is breaking a promise to complete a full term as Senator representing a state?

[Tennessee Gal]

Any guesses?

[AX10]

1. Obama!

It's obvious

[Tennessee Gal]

2. You win the prize.

I do not find that admirable about Obama.

[AX10]

3. The prize I want is a Hillary victory tomorrow night.

9. I think you can tell that I supported Edwards.

I early voted for Edwards. Since he is not in the race any longer, I have tried to remain neutral. However, I am leaning to Clinton because of my research and because of the outrageous postings of Obama supporters here.

[AX10]

11. I am for Hillary for many reasons.

Including the sickening praise that Obama has gotten.
The beating of HRC is just horrific.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

18. Obama 2004. Clinton 2006.

Booo!

[rodeodance]

5. interesting

[goldcanyonaz]

6. NOBAMA!

[angie_love]

7. What is the point of all these hateful posts?

Don't you ever get tired?

[AX10]

8. There is no hate in this post.

The OP is pointing out a fact. Obama did break his promise to complete a full term in the Senate before running for the Presidency. Hillary kept her promise though.

Does the Obama camp do anything besides run on their blind hatred of Hillary Clinton?

[goldcanyonaz]

10. You have got to be kidding. I've seen your posts.

[angie_love]

19. Well if you've been reading my posts

you'd see that I've been saying nice things about Hillary lately after the debate. I thought DU would become more unified. Guess not.

[Tennessee Gal]

12. Hateful? Facts are hateful to you?

Perhaps you need to reconsider your stance in this race.

[Joe the Revelator]

17. You want other people to reconsider their stance in the race, when you are basing your support

on your dislike of posts on DU. Get a clue sister.

[Tennessee Gal]

20. I said my research.

You left that part out because it served your purpose. Says a lot about you.

[Joe the Revelator]

22. This is what you actually said:

I am leaning to Clinton because of my research and because of the outrageous postings of Obama supporters here.


The fact that you would let people on DU influence you decision says A LOT about you as a voter. Talk about American Idol voting.

[Tennessee Gal]

24. Yes, and you left the research part out originally.

Research and observations. A powerful combination.

[Tennessee Gal]

21. Oh, and if you cannot accept facts about a candidate, that is

your problem.

[PhiBetaCretin1]

15. Can't people ask questions here at DU?

without everyone pouncing on them for doing so? I read no hatefulness in the OP. Lighten up, will ya? Freedom of expression means sometimes people differ in their approaches, even though they can be on the same team. It's called diversity. Respect it.

13. can you find me the link for that quote ? thanks

[Tennessee Gal]

14. Which quote?

Here is a link, but I don't know if it is what you are looking for.

"First, I hardly think it's becoming in a man who wants to be the leader of the free world to break a categorical promise that he would not consider another office until he had completed his first term in the Senate. You made that promise, Senator, when you ran for the Senate two years ago. What's more, you went on "Meet the Press" just a year ago and categorically denied that you were even considering a presidential bid. You've got four years left to go on that promise, Senator Obama, and you should keep it."

16. that he will not run for president until he finished his first term.. :)

[Tennessee Gal]

23. This was on yahoo news, but the link is no longer valid.

"The Illinois Democrat said he could no longer stand by the statements he made after his 2004 election and earlier this year that he would serve a full six-year term in Congress."

[Tennessee Gal]

25. kick

Hillary kept her promise. Obama did not. He is rushing into this race.

[donheld]

26. Oh boo fuckin' woo

:cry:

[dansolo]

27. I voted for Obama for the Senate

And I am not at all upset that he is running for President. I have been getting sick of the fact that our candidates always seem to be from either the South or the Northeast. You underestimate the appeal of a midwestern candidate.

[jacksonian]

28. I voted for him too

and was proud to. I'm glad he's my Senator.

But we do have an issue here. He ran in the Ill. Senate primary against a really weak field, and then the leading candidate, a meaningless rich guy whose name I can't even recall, had to drop out because his ex-wife raised a stink. There was virtually no opposition in that primary. Then in the GE, we all know the Repug candidate, Jack Ryan, was revealed to be visiting strip bars and dropped out. Obama spent his Senate campaign flying around the country supporting other candidates.

That is his entire large-scale political background in elections, and it's one amazingly untested political history. Really.

[johnnydrama]

29. and

the Democrats in IL are so pissed at him, he's going to win by how much tomorrow? 35?

[blm]

30. Which candidate protects the secrecy and privilege of the Bushes?

And always has and always will?
