What the hell is so inspiring about Obama anyway?

[??????????]

He's inspired me to support McCain even more then I did before.

How can a conservative like yourself vote for McCain? You must disagree with him on most issues.

[agcatter]

simple for me - judicial appointments

that's plenty to send me to the polls for McCain.

What other electable choice do we have?

I never really got that part

He was the least pathetic candidate compared with Hillary and Edwards.

If electability is your issue, change your av.  The Constitution Party is as big a right wing crock as the Socialist Workers Party is on the left. 

McCain is not just a Republican.  He's an older-school Republican.  Which gives me, at least some hope.

Ok, but everyone else on this board with an avie outside R or D need to do so as well.

Obama and Rev Wright inspires me to hate the Democrats even more than I already do.

So you don't believe that "whitey" created HIV to wipe out blacks? What the hell is wrong with you?

[Democratic Hawk]

and hes more inspiring than McCain will ever be....though its not hard since hes about as inspiring as a bag of rocks.

The fact that you are not inspired by a great man and honorable Senator who spent six years in a POW camp after being captured serving our country is truly sad.

McCain has a pretty inspiring personal story to tell due to the fact that he served six years as a POW but I'm not remotely inspired politically by McCain; certainly not after eight years of George W Bush

Why couldn't McCain have won his party's nomination in 2000? Bush smears circulating around South Carolina can't have helped

Pity Republicans "weren't inspired by a great man and honorable Senator who spent six years in a POW camp after being captured serving our country" then. Now that's sad

And yet in your signature, you have a picture of two Democrats.

McCain ran a superficial and rather disorganized campaign in 2000. He deserved to lose. I say that as a campaign supporter of McCain in 2000 who sent him money.

He's a superficial and disorganized man - basically a below average legacy who knows nothing and has no ideas, who is just coasting along.  Why he can't get a cut-throat dirty-tricks staff to do his thinking like Bush is hard to see.. maybe that's in the works right now.

I just don't understand why everyone is flocking to Obama.  He's done nothing.

You've read the thread, right? There are a few people that offer their views and opnions of why people like Obama so much. But two reasons are that he's a fresh face compared to the rest of Washington, and he seems more trustworthy than Hillary.

Not everyone is flocking to Obama. If you'll look at the polls, you'll see the country is currently split about 50 McCain, 25 Clinton, 25 Obama.

However, one could certainly get the impression that everyone is flocking to Obama. How could one get this impression, asks little red riding hood? Well, my dear, one can watch the television, read newspapers and magazines, listen to distinguished politicians, or surf the tubes.

It is clear that a certain group of people are flocking to Obama, though it certainly is not 'everyone'.

Please...

He went to Vietnam, got captured and tortured.  That does not make him qualified to be president.  Honor would be forgiving your transgressors and sparing them the sword.

McCain goes through torment and you want to make him president for it.

I watched my own mother sit in a bathtub with bleach water blowing into a football sized hole in her stomach as she sobbed to keep it get from getting infected and killing her.. and all you'd do for her is take her medical care away and tell her to hope for charity.

Let me know when you finally figure out that warm-fuzzy medeival, chivalrous ideals don't stack up to the cold, harsh reality that is life.

So I should vote for the "right wing libertarian, moderate leaning" Obama? What other alternative do I have to support this election cycle?
