My prediction:
If Obama gets the nod, he will lose to McCain.
If Hillary gets the nod, she will narrowly lose to McCain.
If either Hillary or Obama picks each other as a VP, they will win over McCain.
The Dems are greatly divided right now. McCain is sitting backing in a rocker with a cup of lemonade. (And occassionally getting the countries of Iraq and Iran confused.
)
Obama - Riding the "change" wave for now. People are blinded by his true "politics". (Seinfeld fans: Remember "The Wiz" episode?) He also has NO experience at all. Another thing that bothers me is that his speeches sound like sermons.
McCain - Sure, long track record, ex-Vet, great credentials. A little up there in age. (I know, doesn't matter, his mother is still living) What bothers me, IMHO, is that I think he feels like he deserves to be President. It's almost like he feels entitled to it. He also has blown many a fuse during his sessions/meetings with cohorts. A "my way or the highway" mentallity. We don't need someone with a itchy trigger finger, My biggest con: He wants to stay in Iraq. Hello? We cannot change a country that doesn't want to change!!
Hillary - Another one with a track record. Not-so-rosy past with Bill, but has done a lot. Misspoke a few times, a flip-flop here and there. My idea about her changed when I saw the table meeting with the citizens in NH. You know, the one where she teared-up. Many thought it was a staged, but I believe she really has her heart into this. I don't think it showed weakness at all. However, that being said, the attacks against Obama negate the sincerity.
And, no, I'm not voting for Hillary.
Many here worry about gun issues with any candidate. I tell ya, with everything else that the US is dealing with, I wouldn't worry about it. WAY too much on their plates right now. I believe any gun issues will take a back seat.
So who's best to be President.......?
