It was painful to watch Tancredo....he just needs more practice....he did improve a lot between the first debate and the last in which he participated.

My dream ticket would have been Hunter-Tancredo.

I would feel real enthusiasm instead of not even wanting to go vote at all.

But.....I will.

McCain

looking back, i kinda almost have to agree....as much as i could not STAND that pompous arrogant aristocratic look about him. the thing that really turned me off big time was the way he looked at the other candidates during debates...he had that SMUG look "better than thou"....ugh i hated it. way too cocky. i chose McCain over him simply cuz of his military background and support for the military since i work for the military...and my job depends on "Army strong"

One track mind Texas Republican. They would vote for a republican serial killer rather than have a black man in office.

I think the youth, Hispanic, Afro American and intelligent people might vote to put Obama over the top. He just might win some bitter people or uneducated blue collar whites

serial killer? who?

I think for most people its the socialist policies that scare people away from Obama. And maybe because people dont do any research and think he's a Muslim.

No, this is dead wrong. It has nothing to do with a person being black, purple or pink. Obama comes across as a caring and very likable person, but one has to look beyond that and consider the entire makeup of the man. That being taken into account we can all drop the pretense that the republicans are going to vote for the white male regardless. Give people credit, they are considering the issues and what is at stake here, not the color of a man's skin.

Definitely his smugness is a turnoff, but he has a business mind and could hopefully get us OUT of the financial mess. And is much younger than McCain (just in case)... Maybe they would make a good team, though I thought McCain didn't like Romney at all.
