For once, you sir, are correct.
Well, despite all the "Doom and Gloomers" on here, I think the ol' U.S. of A. will be fine with McCain, Obama or even Clinton. Any of those three will be good stewards and won't mess things up too much (IMHO). They're all smart, savvy, strong and I think that all three will listen to both reason and to what "the people" say/ask for/demand.
The rest is just "in the details," really.

And I think the Dems would make a huge mistake in giving the nom to Hillary...I think the Repubs will come out in full force to fight the dictator if hse gets the nom... I think they should nominate Obama if they wanna win...

I think that Obama, strategically, is the best option for the Democrats if they want to win the White House. He won't stir the passions of the Republicans to get out and vote AGAINST him like Hillary would against herself. McCain would lose that extra OOMPH in voter turnout that Hillary would give him from the ultra-right Republicans.
If the Democrats nominate Hillary (which I think they will) then McCain has a very good chance of being the next POTUS. If they nominate Obama, then I think Obama takes it. If the Republicans nominate Romney (which I don't think they will) then Hillary will clean his clock and Obama would win solidly over Romney, but not with a landslide.
Of course, that's just my opinion. It's really impossible to predict these things.

I think there are a lot of older dems that say that they would vote for a woman, but once they got into the voting booth would have real problems voting for her. Also, it's a little hard to run on "change" when the Clinton brothers are your candidate.
I think that with the choices that the democrats have made in their primaries, they have let the reps back into this thing. When this all started, I thought the election was a slam dunk for the democrats,

yeah, seems to be the case that Hil is screwing the pooch on that one....out of desperation bringing Bill back and doing a "back to the 90's/rah rah change" thing that's barely coherent. Obama sort of has the "change" thing monopolized so Hil's cards are all on the table. also doesn't help her "independent woman" perception. this is her only chance, prolly.Originally Posted by OUAndy1807

That being said: I think the country might be willing to elect a woman president, just not Hillary. As for a black president? Not yet.

Obama gaining significant momentum.
Here's the problem with that notion. Hillary starts with fully 40% (not Republicans only either) of likely voters who say they will not vote for her. She also begins with the highest unfavorable rating by any candidate for President in modern history.Originally Posted by Soonerus
If she is the nominee, Dem's can forget it. Which is why the fring right is so worried about McCain v. Clinton.
The reason this race is so darn interesting is comments like "I'm not sure whether this Country is ready for a Woman or a Black President".
It's a valid statement.
The thing is...it's needs modification IMHO.
I'm not sure that America is ready for another Republican in Office and having a Woman and a Black Candidate makes it a total cr*p shoot.
