Hillary vs. McCain...the most boring election in American history

I don't know who's the lamest speaker. Both are old. Both are boring. Both are total corporate establishment. Both are war-mongerers who want to attack Iran. Both are uninspiring. Turnout would be the lowest in American history. Black folks won't have a dog in that race, so most will stay home. I can't help to think that Bloomberg is salivating over this one.

:boring:

maybe Fox can make a reality show to select the most exciting President

She IS a bore-ass...all though a hero, so is "Ike-Lite".

doesn't run I'll be voting McCain.

What are you saying?

John "100 More Years in Iraq" McCain?!? Um, interesting. Anyway, I think some fail to realize that there are a lot of Hillary Clinton supporters/fans out there who are very excited about a possible Hillary presidency. Don't forget, we're seeing record turnouts this year on the Dem side and it's obviously not all because of Obama. After all, she was able to get more votes than him in New Hampshire and in Nevada. That's not a knock on Obama since he came close, my point is that Obama supporters and/or Hillary haters sometimes seem to forget that she has many people supporting her candidacy.

Better you get on back & give them sheep & chickens the attention they deserve good buddy!

If Bloomberg makes a big push for the anti-war folks and African-Americans, I think he could pull it off.

Yet somehow billionare corporate establishment Bloomberg excites you?
:wtf:

That would be really exiting - he couldn't possibly lose!

:party: :toast:

I agree that the turnout will be very low.

Blacks don't have a dog in that race? People don't have to share the same skin tone to like and support a particular candidate!

Lots of them might be happy to support HRC.

The Clintons have alienated a huge section of black voters. Sure, they'll get a scattering of black voters, but it'll be less than in any Democratic nominee in the past 30 years. And enough might stay home to cause Hillary to lose PA, OH, MI, NJ, and some other states.

Sleep through the next election at your own risk.

...of the stinky Alberto Gonzales variety. Say goodbye to civil liberties, equality before the law, torts, corporate accountability, etc., etc.

I don't see how the possibility of the United States electing its first female president in its history could be seen as something boring.

It is actually one of the more exciting political milestones to come around in quite a while.

(and banjo music)

"Black folks won't have a dog in that race, so most will stay home."

Yeah, like we always do when there isn't a black guy running for President?

This election will be important to people who are sick of getting shortchanged like the middle class, people of color, women, and the poor. The America that the Republican party refuses to recognize is rising, and its pissed.

have reduced it to cheerleading for their favorite team.Simple mindedness rules.

but I'm going to go with "both are old." :wtf:

He should have a fairly easy time winning against that combo.

IMHO.

MIKA!!!!!!!!:9

And younger women, too.

If she turns out to be the nominee, three generations of women in my family will be very excited about the race.

You know what I'm tired of? Petulant partisans who've turned an election that was supposed to be about kicking the Rethugs out of the White House into an election about getting their candidate of choice into the White House. The goal should be to get a Democrat (any Democrat) into the White House, PERIOD. Anyone who has truly been affected and bothered by the last 8 years of Bush rule would never give up so damn easily and seemingly cheer on a McCain victory over Hillary. A McCain victory is only possible if people stay home and sulk rather than vote Democratic and fight to take back the country from the Right. I can't even imagine what another 4-8 years of Republican rule will do to this country!

The main point is that any Democrat is preferable to any Rethug. Anyone who is so willing to give up just because their candidate doesn't get the nomination just shows that they were never committed to real, tangible change to begin with. Now go vote for your favorite American Idol.

you're putting me into. A petulant partisan?

I like all the top three candidates and I'd have been happy to support anyone who was/is in the field. I won't have much of a say in this, since I'm in a caucus state and I won't put myself through that ringer again -- especially since I'll have no problem supporting whoever the rest of you pick out.

All of the candidates have their own pluses and minuses. In HRC's case, one of the things that would make it exciting for my family is to finally have the first women candidate. In Obama's case, it would be exciting to have the first non-white male. I think Edwards has the best health insurance plan and I'd be happy if he is the nominee, too.

So please don't call me a petulant partisan. I'm a partisan, but I'll be fired up for whoever our nominee turns out to be.


P.S. WELCOME TO DU!

"Keyboard Kommandos" were out in legendary force...none of them havingg ever even smelled cordite in the air, trashing Sen. Kerry's COMBAT record.

Both shows sucked.

Obviously didn't read this post first...
