Being "liked better" (5.00 / 5) (#5)
by misspeach2008 on Sat May 03, 2008 at 01:28:21 PM EST
is absolutely the criteria for running for Prom King.  I say let's send Obama a crown. Then let's concentrate on choosing the next President of the United States.  He can still run for that, too, but he has to run on his record, the issues and competence.

that being better "to have a bear with" makes you a better president?

Catch up, already!! ;-).

But it certaily explains their push for abstinence only education ;-).

"having a bear" all day! Actually, if I have to have a bear with someone, I'd go with Hillary, because she'd probably know what we should do. And then we'd go have a beer or five :)

But he definitely needs to give us a clue as to what it is he IS promising.  Vague, generalized references to hope and change, with no substantive guidance as to what exactly that means, is not cutting it -- it simply does not sustain.

Exactly, even the pundits (5.00 / 1) (#156)
by JavaCityPal on Sat May 03, 2008 at 06:56:02 PM EST
keep saying that Hillary and Obama have nearly identical policies (since Obama keeps copying hers, it's no wonder).  So, he should be able to talk directly to the difference...that change he plans.  Rev Wright kept saying, "Change, it is a comin'" so, he apparently knows what Obama is planning.

The gas tax holiday is a stark difference (none / 0) (#190)
by Newt on Sun May 04, 2008 at 12:53:58 AM EST
Why is Hillary, with all her experience, advocating a gas tax holiday that even the experts say would just cause an increase in oil prices?

For the record, Obama said we need to not let the alternative energy tax breaks expire.  The still powerful Republican Senate Minority is blocking an extension of the alt energy tax breaks.  His direction on this and the pandering gas tax holiday are pretty clear.  Why do you have a hard time understanding the policies Obama proposes?  You could just look them up on his website, they're pretty clear.

Why does Obama (none / 0) (#200)
by vigkat on Sun May 04, 2008 at 05:25:08 PM EST
have such a difficult time verbalizing what he means by hope and change?  His failure to do so causes me to assume he purposely chooses to leave it vague so that others can read into "hope and change" what they choose.

Better Liked? (none / 0) (#183)
by cal1942 on Sat May 03, 2008 at 11:40:47 PM EST
"I do not doubt that Obama is better liked, but I am not at all sure anymore that he is likely to get more VOTES."

Better liked based on what evidence?

That claim is as baseless as Charlie Blow's 'absurdity.'
