"Army Times" Poll on Presidential Race

Quote from oktiri:

I have no doubt about that I watched on TV how the dignified people of Iowa dealt with the floods earlier this year.
Why do you think both Clinton and Guliani who chose to overlook Iowa lost ? Because people there examine the candidates closely and carefully and get a REAL feeling for them before blessing their candidacy. They gather in small groups of 20 on front porches and people's homes. Iowans get to see them real CLOSE If Obama was a disguised Radical black, he would have been uncovered right then and there.

Guliani and Clinton both lost because they were jerks to people. Guliani, as an example, called a farmer up and told him "I'd like to come to your farm and meet people from your community, can you invite all of your friends, neighbors etc to come and talk to me". So, the farmer did, and then after he had gone to all the trouble of inviting the entire town to his farm, setting up the food, drink etc for the town Guliani called and said Oh by the way, we'd like you to donate $10,000...oh you cant..well, we won't be coming to your event then. That got a lot of coverage here, and he lost a lot of popularity after that.

I never heard that story. I know from listening to some recordings of radio shows he did while mayor that he's mean spirited. I still think he did a pretty good job post 9/11 but he surfed on that reputation for too long....He wanted to wait till Florida (Huckabee won Iowa on a shoestring budget and a guitar, and McCain won new Hampshire) to campaign and when he started campaigning , people just didn't like him. The more they saw of him, the more they rejected him.

I still think McCain is a good guy. nobody would dispute his military /national security credentials. However, he failed with his choice of vice president (Huckabee, Romney and Pawlenty would have been better ) and he failed to steer the party to a more inclusive nature. like Bush did in 2000 with his "big tent" theme.

I can't wait for Nov 4 for this thing to be over, and to get to talk about sthg else.

Quote from oktiri:

SO WHAT ? How fucking stupid are you ?
Blacks represent less than 20 % of US population ,there is no way a "Black" candidate would end up major party candidate or president with ONLY the support of his/her core group
He happens to be "Black" but he is not the Candidate of "Blacks" (Like Rev Jackson for ex).

Post Rev. Wright tapes Obama went 2-9 against Clinton in the last 11 primaries. His win in North Carolina which sealed the deal came on the back of 30% black turnout with Obama getting 90% of those votes. If Obama were white his name would be John Edwards.....
