Obama Vs Clinton

[Pete-Rock]

I think the Democrats race for nomination is very exciting this time!

Who do you think will make it?

And can he/she beat McCain?

[desert_rat]

well based on the media hype surrounding Obama, I would say he has the best chance of winning the nomination. Unless he makes a serious mistake, the momentum is definitely in his court. The media slant is obviously in his favor. In the end I think there are a large number of people that don't trust the Clinton political machine.

Assuming Obama wins - it's too early to tell if he will do better against McCain. The major sticking points will be Obama's inexperience and McCain's age. It will definitely be an interesting 9 months as the US is dealing with a slow economy/recession, illegal immigration, Iraq, Iran, etc. etc.

i don't mind either way who gets the nomination as long as they win!

we don't want another idiot republican in charge at the white house. although we can safely say no one can be as bad as bush! thank fuck he's going.

I agree, it has been interesting to follow. Their platforms are very similar so either would be great to beat out the republican ticket but I prefer Obama.

As much as I am for supporting a female into office, it def wont be Hilary. The fact that she stays married to Bill soley for political reasons (to maintain a look of a solid family unit) is disturbing.

As Jeff said, age vs inexperience will be interesting to watch. While I am all for republican due to my job, anticipating what mcain may do isnt benificial to my personal life and wanting to stop deploying every damn year.

[MetDream]

Yeah, you definitely do not need another "war monger" in office!!

[Pete-Rock]

I'd prefer Obama as well for a very simple reason:

If Hillary would make it, and become President, there would have been only Bushs and Clintons in the White House for more than two decades!!!!!!!! Bush Sr. became President in 1989 and Hilary would be in charge until 2013, and if she is re-elected even until 2017. Thats 24 or even 28 years only Bushs and Clintons!!!!!!

WTF????

I think Hillary is more progressive, but way less charismatic. It'll cost her in the end. Obama is all flash and little substance. He'll shit it in in the primaries though and I hope to god he tortures McCain for the rest of the year, but I just think Hillsy is the better candidate.

On the topic of Obama winning though, where do people lay bets on how long it takes for someone to "get him"?
