I think Obama would nuetralize a Bloomberg/CNU far more than any other candidate

[Perky]

It would depend somewhat on the VEEP nominee. But Obama has clearly positioned himeslef as one willing to work with the Repukes to move things forward.


Hillary iw far too polarizing to offset the appeal of the CNU and so is Huckabee, Romney has chosen to flip to the right and will certainly be called for flipping back to the middle if he gets the nod. McCain will be the war candidate and is therefore polarizing to being with,

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

1. Or we could cut to the chase and nominate Romney

[ruggerson]

2. or David Duke

I hear he polls really well in South Carolina.

[TwilightGardener]

3. Yup.

[hedgehog]

4. Agreed - the CNU sounds like a DLC clone. nt

[mitchtv]

5. too polarizing vs ready to cave in?

I'll go with polarizing.

[Perky]

8. Why?

Principles are great. Leislation however reuires compromise.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

9. I am not expecting us to lose congress in 2008

[Perky]

11. I think we could lose the senate if Hillary is the nominee

[mitchtv]

18. sorry ,no compromise on certain issues

like Social security, Nuclear power plants and other environmental issues like coal.I fear his cozying up to the Xian militants for politcal gain.I want a Democrat, Obama is an opportunist.

6. Bloomberg hurts Hillary most, Obama next most, Edwards least.

[Stop Cornyn]

10. Agreed. Edwards populist message crosses party lines and reaches independents best; it's an antidote

for Bloomberg's socially liberal corporatism.

[Andy823]

20. I also agree

Edwards would be the least hurt by Bloomberg running.

[ginchinchili]

7. That's a good position for Obama to take, but...

he lacks the track record to back it up. Talk is cheap and Obama talks a good game, but not good enough for me. He needs more experience.

[BeyondGeography]

12. He would, especially with an ex-Republican like Webb on the ticket

which shores up the national security end of things and shows a real commitment to realignment at the same time.

All too logical for many people, though. The Clintons have to drive us into a ditch once and for all before they'll let go (and, even then, it will be somebody else's fault...like Obama's).

[David Dunham]

13. No, Bloomberg could win lots of Jewish votes v. Obama but not Hillary

[BeyondGeography]

14. Bloomberg doesn't even happen if Obama is the nominee

[Jim Sagle]

16. He doesn't happen if Clinton is the nominee, either. It's all about gutting Edwards.

[BeyondGeography]

17. Edwards is the last thing on their minds

[Jim Sagle]

19. Bull fucking shit. It's the ONLY thing on their minds.

[Hippo_Tron]

15. Pardon my ignorance but what does CNU stand for?
