I looks like Obama is in trouble. Do you wish you had picked a more seasoned leader? Someone who could have run this country? It was pretty crazy to pick Barack Obama. |
I have this argument with my father all the time. He thinks things woudl have been different if she'd gotten the nomination. They sure would have - McCain would have been the president now. She was totally unelectable. It is mind-boggling to me that more democrats don't recognize this. |
I think she would have had more trouble getting elected b/c she wasn't as exciting. In negatives, it's hard to weight the sexism and general dislike against the racism.
Re whether she'd be a better president, I think so - a bit, at least. I don't think she would have told herself that she could win over the Reps. Whether she could have done what was really needed - bring the Dems in line and take a stand - I don't know. |
No, I hate Hillary Clinton. She wouldn't have been any better. |
I agree with this. McCain would have picked a different 2nd. He would've played the seasoned warrior card, and we'd have been stuck with him. No thank you. Different question - do I wish she had been elected? Absolutely. I think she would have not capitulated to the Republicans quite as much, would have led better - maybe. Although they would have both been dealing with a pile of *** so hard to see in hindsight. |
She did get my vote early on. I was disappointed she didn't make it. |
The rise of Asia would have faced her, McCain, or Palin.
I think after the economy stood still on 9/15/08, whoever had a 'D' next to their name was going to get elected. I do think Hillary wouldn't have wasted so much time trying to win over those who weren't going to be convinced. |
I think that McCain would never have been elected over Hillary. And Hillary would have made some mistakes, but the country would have been more forgiving of her and she would have gone on to a second term. Obama will not be re-elected. |
How is Obama more exciting? She just did not have the peeps propping her up, Kennedys, Oprah, etc. |
I voted for her during the primaries. But when Obama got on Dem ticket but did not chose her for the VP, I felt like it was a slap in the face for the other half of the Dem.
I will never get my vote. |
I'm not a Democrat and I wish you all had nominated Hillary. She would have won. She'd be a better president. |
Not sure what you're asking. I'm simply saying that he excited people more - young, fresh, black, great speaker... |
Uh-huh. And if she had been, all your guys would have called HER a socialist and said she was the worst president ever from day one, and a significant portion would have said that she was a Martian or the Harlot (see current thread) or similar, and would have marched around with signs photoshopping her as a crack whore or a succubus, and you would have been here saying that you're not a Democrat, but you wish that they had nominated Obama. |
PP here. My Dem friends don't like Obama now. I think they would have liked Hillary more at this point. Do I think they are both statists bordering on socialist? Yes. But I still prefer one to the other. I did at the time and I do now. Hillary is smarter and better with compromise. |
instead we are going to call obama the worst president ever. it is clear he is out of his league. |
