Will Obama face McCain? We’ll know after Super Tuesday

D. Day

Your annointing of McCain may be premature. He still hasn't won anywhere near 50% of Rep. votes in any primary.

An interesting analysis but I'm not sure I agree with it. There is not much substance behind Obama - on national security he's a nightmare - I'm not sure he can withstand the scrutiny of the general election campaign, and he will still have to go some to beat the Clinton machine. I think now Giuliani is gone McCain is a shoo-in for the GOP nomination but I although he has a good chance against Obama I think Hillary will be a tougher prospect - much as I would like to see McCain win.

So Forsyth wants Democrats to vote Obama with their brain? I think Forsyth is writing very much with his brain - as a Republican supporter he wants an easy candiadte for the Republicans to beat in the Presidential election. The very fact that so many Republican sympathisers are running over with enthusiasm for Obama makes me very suspicious. Their hatred of Hillary is not irrational, as is so often assumed: they know the Clintons are the most formidable enemies the Republican Party has had for a long time - since FDR, in fact. Nor were the Clinton tactics in South Carolina in the least bit discreditable. IT WAS OBAMA, not the Clintons, who made the election a racial matter, by claiming with nauseating hypocrisy that the Clintons' brief word of appreciation for the anti-racist legislation of President Johnson was meant, of all ridiculous things, to denigrate Martin Luther King....That was DELIBERATE RACIAL INCITEMENT BY OBAMA. For that reason alone I would NEVER vote for such a man. NO: HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT !!!!!!!!

Ganpat - 10 exclamation marks. A sure sign of a deranged mind.

Ganpat Ram

Diarmuid: As you haven't a single serious point to make, your response is worthless. I am not surprised - such is the quality of Obamaniacs. It will be a huge pleasure when Hillary eviscerates this swaggering loud-mouthed thin-skinned conman.

When is the ritish press going to finally condemn the Palestinians and stop letting anti-Semitism get in the way?

Mr. Forsyth underestimate our capacity to elect personalities, in this case a war "hero", 71 and a half years old who expects to re-live the Vietnamese fiasco. He advocates for more wars, probably beginning the demise of the last empire. All empires end when over reach the military capacities. Roman, Spaniard, French, British, Soviet were not defeated militarily by went bankrupt.

It's easy to see why someone like Ram would not like Obama. People of his ilk would not vote for someone like Obama for the most narrow atavistic reasons. While I do not accuse Ram of racism it is still not likely that he would vote for someone whose father is African - for primeval reasons. Pardon the pun.

I am glad to know that the Clinton campaign staff members that are paid full time to serf the net and blob are still fully employed.
