From that one speech, I don't care if I have a choice between pro-life, anti gay marriage Mike Huckabee and Obama, I will NOT vote for Obama. If it is between electing Bush to a third term (I know, it cannot happen), and Obama, I will be voting for Bush.

First if you look at Barack Obama's voting record, its very clear, he has a record of not voting. Serious issues that need to be voted on, he doesn't vote. He has been in the US senate for 3 years, and spent over a year of that time campaigning for another office. He has little to no experience, it would be like promoting a data entry clerk to CEO of a fortune 500 company, it just doesn't happen.

EDIT: Sorry to be so blunt here, but you think that Hillary can unite the republican party, wait until you have a black man running. They will be out voting in HUGE number for the GOP. Obama also hasn't experienced the Republican attack machine, he says he is ready because he faced the Clinton's, fact is, every time the Clinton's attack him, he, and the media, pull out the race card. In the general election, it won't work, the GOP will not care how much he screams race.

</rant> really this time!

Politics are already so dirty..but they can even get dirtier (hard to believe but true!).

We know that if Hillary gets the nomination, it's going to be "suckgate" all over again (The Republicans HATE the Clintons with such tenacity and just won't let go of Monica and company "He lied". Yeah he lied..about a blow job, but not about WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION etc etc etc!)

Ok..I ranted that time Dean....and got off my message.

My fear is that if Obama gets the nomination, it's really going to bring out all the latent racism to the forfront..the Republicans know how to get down and dirty on someone and how to instill fear in people. And you know that they will do everything they can to instill fear in white people about a black man becoming their leader!
