Republicans for Hillary

[whatchamacallit]

I believe conservative republicans universally fear Obama more than Hillary. Ironically, the much derided "inexplicable phenomenon" of Obama's momentum is a juggernaut that truly terrifies them. For this reason, I think their strategy has been to help her in the primaries whenever possible. In their thinking, it's win/win for republicans; either they help nominate someone McCain can beat, or at worst, they end up with a white right-leaning democrat for president. It's their entire battle plan.

1. Then why were Obama supporters so happy that Republicans for Obama shit was sold out on his site?

And they are happy that Republicans are so happy about voting for Obama

2. Yes, beccuase Republicans, generally, loathe change.

Obama is change, Clinton or McCain are not.

Clinton and McCain are known quantities and predictable. There is confort for them there. Obama (they think) is unknown. And they fear the unknown, they fear change.

Change just isn't a slogan in Obama's campaign. It is, from the Republican point of view, inevitable if he's elected. We, here at DU, know differently, but hey, I'm talking about Republicans right now.

3. Other way around, they are voting to have him run against McCain.

The Hussein meme is all the rage on the RW sites. They're getting what they always wanted, an inexperienced Senator with a name for all of them to vote against. It's really a genius move on their part, never thought they could fuck us up so well so early in the race.

4. maybe you should spend some time on conservative websites

They hate McCain and Hillary equally. They are willing to try Obama.

5. i thought the

moderate and independent repubs were all for obama isn't that why his biggest successes have been in open primaries....at least that was the rap here last week.....obama because he would appeal to republicans and they hated hillary way too much to ever vote for her...your theory seems to be out of step

6. Republicans voted for Obama in VA in large numbers. It accounts in part for

the increase in white male vote.

8. Fascinating concept you have there but let's take it a little deeper into examining

one new kid on the block....."Baby-Bama".

Answer this Inquiry and you may get a job on MSNBC!



What has Obama done as a politician, a leader which makes him so much better for President than
Dennis Kucinich, Joe Biden, Christopher Dodd, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards?

I really would like significant, benchmark examples of his leadership skills as a multi-tasker which would be required as President of the Free World.

I see he has a historically terrific campaign machine, it can really sell the product to the Wal-Mart voters and he sure can "preach a political sermon" but how is he as a leader?

How can a Senator who has only completed half his term evolve into a Democratic Messiah?

Why was it that long term, multi-decade serving, proven Democratic Leaders of our Senate can't stand knee high to Obama's fundraising machine?

Biden and Dodd could hardly afford an interactive website design or a campaign store, they didn't have a store by the way.........whereas Obama came out with the greatest website since MicroSoft came out with Windows XP. Amazingly interactive, even young children could get involved at every level, DVD's....His campaign store even had the clothing line change for the seasons.

Who and the heck is backing him and when did it really begin? I sense before he announced and where FEC has no jurisdiction.
