Hillary can't even beat a 3rd year senator so what about...
I have to give it to Obama's excptional campaign, but this is more of a question to the hillary supporters, if she can't beat a 3rd year senator what makes them believe that she can win the general with half the country detesting just the name Clinton, just look at whats happening now in the democratic party ..lol imagine the general! Also, i believe that the dirty politics would be a lot worse in the general for the Clintons that it is going to be on Obama.

1. McCain will kick Obama's ass on his lack of knowledge in foreign policy & we will have 100 more wars

11. I can only hope and pray
that people don't forget what IS on the line this time Drew and NOT allow personal disappointment to dictate what they WON'T do ya know? In other words if say Clinton ends up somehow winning that Obama dems STILL vote for her-and Clintonians the same if it's Obama-don't vote or NOT vote against your best interests like the GOPers always do

3. LOL!
Laughable. Barack is about to put a major shaming and smackdown on John McCain. He is the sacrificial lamb for the GOP. This is gonna be so delightful watching Barack throw McCain's BS back in his face and the GOP. McCain won't know what hit him. And the irony in all of this is just so sweet.

5. I actually believe
that the GOP is offering McCain up for just that purpose. I think they are well aware of their chances ion this election and rather than wound any of their potential candidates for 2012 they are pushing McCain to let a guy they aren't really that fond of in the first place take the beating for them so they can say, see wee need to run on a hard right plank to win.

8. I truly hope we elect a dem this year
but your post also applied to Bill Clinton in 92. The dems were just going to sacrifice him because no way he was gonna beat the unbeatable bush and then we'd be done with the slick talker from Arkansas.

4. So what makes you the expert on politics
Edited on Thu Feb-28-08 11:10 AM by blocker
Please leave your emotions behind what makes you think that this wil happen? so far, Obama has been exceptional on foreign policy. Wow, you clintonians are truly blinded by the facts! Clinton couldn't even name the guy who would replace putin in russia in the last debate, so give me a break!

6. That's quite a prediction. Are you a time traveller by chance?
McCain is a freaking loser, he's weaker than Dole.

9. McCain is not a foreign policy expert--he sat on the Armed Services committee, not the FRC.
Sorry, but his foreign policy knowledge is a myth.

10. Lack of knowledge? What lack of knowledge? Obama knew Iraq was a bad idea. Obama knew
that coddling Musharaaf was a bad idea. Obama knew that going after AQ would require cross-border raids in Afghanistan/Waziristan. That's 3 for Obama, 0 for McCain.
