Unwaivering? Well, this may have been discussed, but do you not have issues with his moving so quickly to the center? - His leaving his options open for troop withdrawl (Huh? Wasn't that his primary platform?)
- He's for the death penalty
- He's against strict gun control
- He's supports more funding for faith based initiatives
Is this the same candidate of a year ago. Of six or even three months ago?
I dunno...I'm not liking it too much. |
Interesting you should post this on this morning
CNN article on recent poll says Obama's rating amongst Dems has gone down, fewer Clinton supporters going to McCain, but more sitting out the election. In the meantime, the rating of Clinton among Democrats has gone up.
I am an Obama supporter. I am an Obama donor. I will vote for Obama, but I do not, at this time, feel any strong, enthusiastic emotion about him. I do not need to in order to support him, donate to him and vote for him - but it is more to feel that kind of enthusiasm.
We'll see who he selects for his VP candidate. My personal opinion is that the Democrats have the best chance of sweeping Congress and the White House if it is Clinton, for no other reason that her disenchanted supporters could vote for her and, in the same vote support Obama.
Otherwise, his chances of victory are significantly lower, in my estimation.
