HOW DO YOU DEFINE A MOOT POINT?

It's not abut whether women will vote for him, it's that Obama is unelectable.

Being able to remember what it is like to have been on both sides of the Mommy war thing, which is how you learn to be so smart, I'll simply remind you of Ultimate Mommy behavior.

It is to say Fine. Have to your way. And let me simply say I told you so in advance.

Stand back, ignore or walk away from the burgeoning mess that ensues.

And then be absolutely spot on correct. Some things don't require a whole lot of divination to perceive what the outcome is going to be.

It's not about whether women, or men, or hermaphrodites, will vote for Obama. It is that Obama is just plain Unelectable.

It's not about what YOU want. That's a moot point. It's about what's there. And Obama in Flyover Country? Well,sweetie, fat chance.

Which part of ---NO EXPERIENCE is not going to get people to vote for you ---are you not seeing.

Maybe for you it's not wartime or time of financial stress or a feeling that your country has managed to be about to go from corporate looting in the White House to incomprehensible in the Oval Office.

It's not that voters are going for McCain, especially. It's that they can't understand why with Obama they should want to vote for a self-promoter who has shown them nothing tangible to back him up. This isn't the Grammies, it's an election.

It's that the democrats have caved to some shallow partisan agenda and think that with all our problems the way to solve things is to make leadership a matter of pigmentation. Instead of giving the voters a balanced ticket.

I could care less who the first black president might turn out to be. But if it needs to be politician, and it does, wouldn't Charlie Rangel, brilliant, resourceful and a real grown-up be better than some MTV Muppet?

What are the Obamabots going do next, offer a free tank of oil with every vote? And then have the press fawn over how visionary a tactic that is?

People, regardless of party are going to vote for McCain because he fits the job description in the way we want it to.

How delusional do you hav not be to actually believe that the same people who distrust the unfamiliar enough to reject Dean and Kerry and rather than that stunningly voted for Bush a second time, are now going go against every bit of their own logic and vote for Obama.

Oh, sure they are.

On Day One the objection to Obama was that he was inexperienced.

Today he appears even less so, showing us nothing but sulky entitlement issues and worse judgement.

You can foist someone so unsuitable -- a two year junior senator up against a lifetime Congressional mover and shaker --but you cannot make sentient adults vote for him..

WHY WOULD THEY?

That would be the bottom line-question even in the best of times, and if you are living in this country today the only other question is how much worse can these times get?

I am writing in Hillary Clinton. She is the best of the three choices and I now realize that what this election has really made me see is that I am not about to pick party over patriotism.
I If she and McCain both have a shred fo wisdom, they'll run on a Bi-partisan ticket and make four years , at least, of history..

After being a life-long Democrat, I'll now define myself as an Independent til the day I die.

Obama's only lasting legacy will be to have hoisted the petard of the Democratic Party.

John McCain is experienced and right wing. Hillary Clinton is not that experienced and left wing. (Remember she hasn't been in office that long, her husband has.) Obama is about as experienced as Clinton (if we count what she actually has done personally) and very similar in his policy positions.

If you are right wing, why were you a democrat? And if experience is all that matters - HRC didn't actually have that much. Other candidates on the Dem. ticket were the leaders in experience. And, if you really think Obama has no redeaming qualities -- you are just refusing to see.

Ignore Gala1.

He/she/it is a troll and never has anything good to say about any of the candidates. If you check his postings he'll complain about Obama's experience, get slaughtered by other posters, then move on to another blog. Where he'll complain about Rev Wright, get slaughtered by other posters and move again. On and on and on.

Obama 08

and Hillary for VP, Director of HHS, Supreme Court.....anything she wants but president for now...that slot is taken.

anybody but John "Bush Jr." McCain

If Obama is 'unelectable' then Hillary is most certainly Kryptonite to the Democratic Party. Remember, for all the fractures that have recently begun to appear in the Republican party there’s is still one thin -- and perhaps only one thing -- that make them put aside their differences and re-unite them all into a single cause. And that one thing is Hillary Clinton who is as much Red Meat to right wingers as anything could be. As it is now there is a good chance that some of these nut-jobs will stay home in November rather than voting for John McSame because to them he isn't a 'true' conservative. And Obama elicits more of an 'eh...' than a true panic to them. But Hillary, no, there isn't chance in Hell they would let that happen. Hillary as a candidate was doomed to loose when the 'Anything but Hillary' movement started. No, I like the democrats chances much more with Obama than I do with Hillary...
