Do you think Barrack Obama or Hilary Clinton have a chance at presidency?

Question

I think Barrack Obama has the skills it takes to be a good leader, but I've heard people say they won't vote for him because he is black. Do you think Obama has an equal chance to run for president because he is black? I' have heard the same about hilary because she is a woman. I think our country needs change. Why do people think only white men can run the country, when black people and women can do just as much work? I think a good presidental ticket would be Jonathan Edwards with Obama as vice president. Do you think the USA is ready to see a change in the white house?

Answer 1

Both are intelligent, capable and couldn't if they tried do a worse job than George Bush. I'm fine with which ever one of them gets the Democratic nomination and they will get my vote. I don't care if they are frogs; they will outdo Bush.

Answer 2

I think that Obama and Clinton have both figured out that they don't have a prayer, so they've decided to add some religion into their campaigns.

How will the people who want Gore to run feel about a second term if he wins? The Constitution is very clear that no one can be elected twice. If Gore won in '08, would they give up their claims that he was elected in 2000 so that he would not be disqualified in 2012?

Answer 3

Well, the reason people wouldn't vote for Obama is that his name is Barack Hussein Obama (sounds like Saddam Hussien and Osama Bin Laden), he is black, was a Muslim and Atheist before, did marijuana and cocaine, was an alcoholic, barely has any experience, if any, and some people just flat out don't agree with his policies. Not just because he is black.

The reason people wouldn't vote for Hillary is that she constantly changes her opinion is that she is on the favored side, is a woman (but that isn't a big reason), is a HUGE hypocrite, and lies too much.

I personally, am rooting for Fred Thompson, John MCCaine, or Mitt Romney as President.

I don't think John Edwards would win because he isn't popular enough.

Answer 4

I think Hilary is probably the front runner even though I'm holding out for President Gore to announce that he is running again! And Barrack needs some more experience under his belt before he can be a legitimate candidate. And i would probably vote for Edwards before Clinton if President Gore does not stand up.

Answer 5

Many of my black friends have expressed both fear and resentment towards Obama's candidacy. They feel that there are still so many vicious racists in this country (as evidenced by most of the things said here in Yahoo), that Obama will not live to be elected. There is another James Earl Ray out there somewhere.

Answer 6

for sure the country is ready for a change and it should be as far away from the rep. as possible.
I like Obama and? I was all set to vote for Hilary until Obama got into the line up, I through it should be Hilary and Obama but now I like what he stands for more then Hilary and I know she would never take second place as vice Pres.

Answer 7

They the two could make good Presidents. besides the undeniable fact that, Hillary could purely shop on the comparable old Washington politics and proceed the Clinton/Bush dynasty. Obama could be a fresh exchange for the rustic and the international.

Answer 8

Obama is a little light on policy. As for his race, I still have a Powell '96 poster in my garage.

Hillary gives policy options. I hate a lot of them but will give her credit, she has more guts than almost any other Democrat I have seen. Lieberman is still #1.

To be honest, no Democrat or Republican has impressed me. They all smell like the remains of a horses dinner.

Answer 9

"Do you think Barrack Obama or Hilary Clinton have a chance at presidency?"

No, and democrats are foolish to put all their eggs in their baskets.

Answer 10

As an outsider (live in Europe) I can tell you that the European media seem pretty sure that one or the other will be President
