Gamblin' Bill Bennett just compared Obama's speech to Reagan's speeches.
Anderson Cooper said he expected to hear Bennet's comments on a Clinton campaign commercial!

Lol, the Repubs do sooo love Barack!

:rofl:

18. Wrong again.
The fact is Obama hasn't won the nomination, by a long shot. My personal opinion is that he will not get there. But if he does I am sure McCain will resoundingly defeat him. If he were to be the Dem nominee, I would certainly vote for him in the general, but that won't make any difference, imo.

5. ... and Democrats loved Reagan
AND Reagan won two presidential elections-- one of them by the biggest landslide EVER

Do you want Obama compared to Barry Goldwater instead?

Reagan is right-wing mythology at it's fantastical apex.

61.1% LBJ over 38.5% Goldwater
60.8% FDR over 36.5% Landon
60.7% Nixon over 37.5% McGovern
60.3% Harding over 34.1% Cox
58.8% Reagan over 40.6% Mondale

8. Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 10:11 PM by no name no slogan
The President isn't decided by popular vote, but by the electoral college. Anybody who was conscious during 2000 would tell you that. :eyes:

Reagan got all but 13 electoral votes in 1984-- bigger than Nixon's victory over McGovern.

My point still stands. Thanks for playing.

9. When I piss, I always hope it's not in my own pants.
Our "elections" are determined first and foremost by $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Then,
by the Supreme Court
by cheating
by electronic machines

The Court decided the electoral vote in 2000.

11. No shit, Sherlock. That doesn't negate the fact
that Reagan STILL has the biggest presidential victory on record, to date.

10. Yep, and on MSNBC
Pat Buchanan was doing the same kind of "commercial" for Clinton!

That just isn't right! Looks like the republicans are playing both fields here, and for them it's anybody but "EDWARDS"! I guess the know who they "can" beat in November, and who they are afraid of! Edwards is their worst fear!

15. Even Bill Bennett knows that Barack Obama kicks ass!
For him to compare Obama's excellent speech to Reagan's style of speaking, Bennett can see just how strong Obama would be to run against.
