http://my.barackobama.com/page/invite/yeswecanvideoI have to admit, the guy knows how to work the crowd with a positive message. Refreshing. Can he beat Hillary? Last year, I said, "No way." However, I am starting to think that Yes, he can. I find him the most palatable of the two. Hillary would be 4 more years of BushCorp.

Its a solid marketing pitch...I personally think it sounds like a broken record of "yes we can for the last 45 seconds of the advertisement" (which ran in selected cities during the Super Bowl for roughly 3milllion every 30sec. of ad time)
I understand that many people love star power on the campaign trail, but its the opposite for me.

First of all, its certainly not a "marketing pitch". Anyone who knows anything about marketing knows that positive messages flop. The second fact that tells you this isn't "marketing" is the fact that this speech is nearly indentical to the keynote address Obama gave at the Democratic National Convention 4 years ago - well before the thought of running for president even entered his mind (let alone anyone else's). It is not fair to Obama or his supporters to attempt to cheapen his message, cause, and goals by attributing them to marketing. Obama is the first real honest true political leader this country has had in generations. |

Only a bigoted fool would frame the question in terms of color. If you were his opponent? He would beat you like you had a ball gag in your mouth. GWB? After the last four years? Yeah. Romney? Yeah. Your framing of the question in terms of skin color shows your true colors, and ignores actual issues. But then you have made it plain that skin color is the only issue. To you anyway.

OK, didn't we have another poster a while back with a very large smite count who got banned. I keep feeling like this individual has been here before.

Well, he has already beat Edwards, a white man, and is running neck and neck with Hillary, a white woman. |
