Poll: Obama, Clinton tied; Romney remains strong http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/12/12/cnn-nh-poll-obama-clinton-tied-romney-remains-strong/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Donna http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/12/12/cnn-nh-poll-obama-clinton-tied-romney-remains-strong/#comment-222919 Donna Sun, 06 Jan 2008 13:01:34 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/12/12/cnn-nh-poll-obama-clinton-tied-romney-remains-strong/#comment-222919 I am a white, middle class ,middle aged woman. I support Obama and here's why. He does have experience to handle the White House on "day one " as Hillary puts it. First he has proven to be a leader. He has taken his campaign from a virtual "who is this guy" to winning in Iowa. It takes commitment ,dedication intelligence, and strength. He has proven this by running a campaign where he was an unknown and comes out of the woodwork to surpass the knowns. He has built this campaign truly from grassroots. The change he is trying to inspire is change from the same old politics. I do not dislike Hillary but it seems everyone else does. They will dog her from day one in the White House and once again NOTHING will get done. It will be the same old politics of bipartisnship and fighting beteween Rep and Dems. Red and Blue Barack has also proven to be able to work across party lines to get things done. If you listened to the Republicans on the New Hampshire debates they all like and respect him. They also I am sure fear him a little because attacking him makes them look bad because he takes the higher road. This country needs real change and voting for those that have been in Washington for ages is voting for the same old song and dance. Barack is also intelligent and will surround himself with the same. You can tell he takes this very seriously and I believe he( or anyone else running for this position) would not even attempt to run if they didn't believe they could handle it. What I find most interesting about this whole political process is the word or catch prase of this election CHANGE. I have been following Obama since his speech in Ill when he decided to run and no one gave him a chance in hell of winning. He is the one that used Change first in his inspiring speech. Now that everyone sees this is what the people really want THE REPUBLICANS and DEMOCRATS alike have all FOLLOWED HIS LEAD all claiming to be the agents of change. If that is not an indication of a leader. I don't know what else is. I am a white, middle class ,middle aged woman. I support Obama and here's why.

His character as a community builder and a listener make him uniquely equipped to lead and inspire America to restored greatness. His experience as a multiethnic and multicultural man give him unique perspective that make him a better diplomat in chief. His hatred of bloodshed make him a great Commander in Chief.

He was my State Senator; he was a courageous assemblyman -- he passed law requiring the videoing taping a police questioning of prisoners with by-partisan support when no one thought he could. The folks who claim Obama had no real opposition in Illinios forget that Hillary skated by in New York in her Senate race when Guillani dropped out early and her replacement Rep. opponent was not a significant contender. As for experienc, Obama actually spent more time in the state legislature than Hillary spent in the US Senate. And for those of you concerned about the vetting of Obama's past -- the Illinois press is as vigorous -- if not more -- than any national guys.

Obama wins Iowa, Clinton comes in 2nd, Edwards 3rd. Richardson, Dodd and Biden finish, in no particular order, 4th, 5th and 6th. Most have indicated that if they don’t finish in the top three they will probably drop out, I believe it’s the top two for Edwards. New Hampshire very possibly then becomes a two person race between Obama and Clinton (Kucinich and Gravel not withstanding). Who do you think the majority of the Edwards, Biden, Dodd and Richardson supporters throw their support too? Clearly Obama will be the beneficiary. Then comes South Carolina and the same scenario plays itself out again. How would Clinton recover from three straight defeats and a field narrowed down to just her and an Obama with huge momentum. The point is, Hillary’s support has hit its ceiling, probably did so a month ago. Obama’s is still on the rise. Here is a very possible scenario. Obama wins Iowa, Clinton comes in 2nd, Edwards 3rd.

Now I am not a linguist and don't speak latin fluently, so I forgot. But I do recall you using it ad naseum (oh, look at me). Very curious to learn your opinions on the fall from grace your candidate is experiencing. I do know one phrase in latin: In vino veritas My wine is telling me it's time for you to find a new candidate! : ) Hey Tom from NM-

You continually use a latin phrase to convey an inevitability of Hillary Clinton winning. Now I am not a linguist and don't speak latin fluently, so I forgot. But I do recall you using it ad naseum (oh, look at me). Very curious to learn your opinions on the fall from grace your candidate is experiencing.

I do know one phrase in latin:

In vino veritas

My wine is telling me it's time for you to find a new candidate!

Once the nominations are done, let's stop squabbling and stop the GOP from keeping the White House. They've had enough for one decade (or two or three).

Get real people. This man is the last candidate any democrat should even be looking at. It's all a hoax! A republican friend just informed me that she was also uncertain about who to vote.

And as the Democratic field narrows, people are going to get behind Obama before they get behind clinton, if they were going to support her, they would have already done so.
