Dole v. Clinton Redux January 19, 2008

With John McCain’s win in South Carolina tonight, look for a redux of the aging vet vs. the hip and in touch politico vis-a-vis Bob Dole v. Bill Clinton. And look for the same outcome in November.
I seriously hope you are wrong on that. As much as I disagree with some of John McCain’s positions I certainly would rather have him in the White House than Clinton or Obama.
I am beginning to think that an Obama/Edwards ticket with a Democratic House and Senate would get this country back on track with all the damage that the Republicans did from 2002 to 2006.
Pixelmaster,
Get our country back on track to what? European style socialism?
Well, the current free market system(deregulation of everything) of making the top 1% wealthier than the bottom 50% in this country doesn’t seem to be heading in a sustainable direction. The Euro is doing a lot better than the dollar so I don’t see what the issue is.
Of course, this works out great for christian leaders because the worse things get the easier it is to claim that our troubles are from God’s judgment.
You know I think your analysis is wrong here. Only McCain can beat Hillary, the probable Democratic Candidate. Huckabee, I’m sorry to say, has proved he cannot expand his base beyond Evangelicals, while Romney’s flip-flopping and pandering will turn off most voters. To characterize John McCain as “moderate” or “liberal” just because he worked with democrats to get things done (such as immigration reform) is silly. We need John McCain because he will get things done and work with both democrats and republicans. He will not change his political views at a whim or pander to special interests. Huckabee, although a good candidate, is flawed in that he seeks to be a “Christian” leader and alienates the 75% of Americans who do not indentify themselves as Evangelical.
