he's saying that obama should quit the race (regardless of his ideas and character) because of his color, religion, and middle name (!!)....and even though ff is falling all over himself to assure us that he personally doesn't share these sentiments, IMO what he's advocating is despicable. i have no doubt that there were plenty of 'enlightened' whites in the south during the 50s and 60s that said the same things about civil rights. "now's not the right time" they most certainly said.
btw, i don't think obama will get the nomination because he is relatively inexperienced. however, if gore, edwards, or clinton pick him for VP, it won't hurt the ticket IMO.
MM do you think that ANY republican has a legitimate chance of winning in '08? there's still two more years of body bags and scandal investigations to get through. it's going to be bloody...both figuratively and literally.
mccain is actually trying to put more troops in iraq (too little and waaay too late)....and the religious nuts that have a strangle hold on the republican party won't support him. ditto for guiliani (sp). romney or brownback? please. rockefeller republicans have had enough of these bible thumpers.
in fact, it could easily be argued that the republican party is so ideologically fractured and in such disarray that is will splinter into two separate parties by 2012.
the only chance the republicans have of winning the white house in '08 is if there is a major gaffe by the dem in sept or oct.
