Poll question: If Obama ushered in a twelve year reign of Liberal policy and...
effectively squashed the Conservative Revolution would you support him?

This is, after all, what he is talking at. He's looking a tad bit beyond the scope of this forum.

1. Hey, the guy gets nominated, I'll work hard for him in the fall.
But right now, I can't desert Dennis just 'cause the media tells me to.

8. He hasn't made that clear. Obama sounds like he is praising the Reaganite ideas.

4. 30 year, we are still on the Reagan trajectory
We never got off of it. Yes, that is what he's talking about.

6. But what if he ushers in more conservatism?
I think that is the concern of many.

9. What conservatism? Obama's record is as a Senator is very liberal.
Where do you guys get your fears from?

12. By not keeping our heads buried in the sand and
blindly supporting Obama regardless of what he says or does. You might try it some time.

11. Agreed.
His comments do not reflect your basis for the polling questions.

10. 12? "Reign"? Shall we start calling him, "Your Majesty"?
Yeah. He's talking. But it's good that you can see into the future.

Anyone can talk. Especially when they know just what you want to hear.

16. I am not even talking about that interview, I am talking about Everything
I have heard from Obama. He hasn't said anything that inspires confidence in his progressive credentials.

22. Yes, and what part of that makes you think he will usher in 12 years
of liberal revolution?

28. Okay then. I do not see anything better than what is offered from the other 2 candidates.
His positions on healthcare and defense, as well as glbt rights are particularly weak...... and it also does not tell me how HE is going to bring in 12 years of liberal revolution.... just his policy positions.

30. I believe his outlook is broad and deep enough to bring about major change...
His positions on healthcare and defense could be better and I agree that his glbt rights policies need to be reclarified but he will drift left as he gets more and more people on board.

14. That's what we all HOPE he was talking about...
His dissing of boomers ~ and now the era preceeding Reagan ~ makes his loyalty to liberalism less clear.

This primary season is all about vetting; we're crazy not to pay attention.
