What is it about Obama that makes his opponents do stupid things? |
|
First, he had Hillary doing it..... now McCain is.
They keep throwing live grenades... straight up.
Obama's like a freaking super hero.
He drains the smarts of the campaign staffs of his opponents, leaving them blathering on like idiots (Davis) or taking the exact wrong tactic at every turn (Penn, Schmidt).
He's one step ahead of the game at every turn.
Hillary and McCain are brilliant politicians who hired the best and brightest (and most expensive) their parties had to offer.
And Obama performs ju-jitsu on them and turns their best arguments against them.
We haven't seen someone like him in a long time. He has EVERY built-in disadvantage a candidate for U.S. President could have.... inexperience, lacking in DC connections, minority, "un-American" name, no military experience, no business experience, not much legal experience.
He's an ex-professor and ex-community organizer who's been a U.S. Senator less than the time it takes to potty train a baby/toddler.
...
And he's kicking their asses like he's been doing this his whole life.
Something absolutely special is going on here.

2. He was able to secure the nomination of a political party that is run by people that hated his guts |
|
..6 months ago.
He had the forces of Hannity, Rush, and all the rest of the right-wing apparatus working to defeat him in the primaries.
...and he won their freaking nomination.
He was dead and buried prior to New Hampshire.... had 1/10th the money that Giuliani had at the time...
...and he won their freaking nomination.
Don't underestimate the man.

... the fact is he won because he was the 'best' they had to offer. And that's saying something about where they're at.
As far as the OP goes, it's so true. What a GREAT time to be alive - to see a Dem candidate who somehow causes his opponent to sink further into the mud, and never gets his own shoes dirty while it's happening.
To paraphrase a line from Monsters Inc., "It's like he picked me up with his mind powers, and shook me like a dog." Amazing how McCain is getting shaken like a dog these days ...

I mean some of his supporters who seem to encourage very stupid political tactics, and pursue actions that continue to divide the party.
People who argue that he should spread known lies about McCain. People who say he should publicly disrespect both Clintons. People who suggest he court Paris Hilton's endorsement.... really dumb things like that.

32. Yep. Some Democrats say dumb things. |
|
That's because some people say dumb things, and party affiliation doesn't require an entrance examination. Fortunately, Obama knows the difference between dumb Democrats and smart Democrats. He has a sharp inner circle; you won't find him wasting millions of dollars and months of time on the dumb ones.

When I was at the MA State Convention this year..June 7, actually, the day that Senator Clinton gave her speech suspending her campaign, I was able to get a few minutes with Governor Patrick.
I said to him that I hoped he would speak with Senator Obama and/or the campaign office, because if Democrats went away form the anonymity of a board like this, or a blog, and into neighborhoods with the attitude of: "If you're to stupid to already know why Obama is better than McCain, then fuck you - we don't need your stinkin' vote anyway, you fucking asshole"....That might not convince too many independents or fed up sane Republicans to come over to our side.....!
That still frightens me some. Saying those things here, covered by the anonymity, is one thing. Bringing it "out there" is another.

Saying "his supporters" certainly indicates that you are not among them. Otherwise you would have said "we" or "some of us."

MF wrote that he/she asks the question of "SOME of his supporters".
You then opine that MF isn't a supporter because: Saying "his supporters" certainly indicates that you are not among them. Otherwise you would have said "we" or "some of us."
When I point out to you that MF did INDEED say "some" of his supporters, now you tell me that it isn't a some vs all debate, and indeed the poster has defined himself as not belonging to the set of supporters.....:shrug:

He waits long enough until the other side has really made a fuss, then he steps up and says something that is humorous but biting, and that inflames them. Look at how he played Bill Clinton throughout the primary season. Bill is no lightweight, but Obama totally owned Bill in the primary season.

|
Edited on Wed Aug-06-08 02:40 AM by Sugarcoated
Roger Federer. He's so good that his opponents get quickly frustrated. They feel they have to start going for the lines to win the point, they may get a few by him but he quickly figures things out and is on top of the ball, starts hitting it on the rise. So they start over-hitting, spraying balls, dumping it in the net. They start doing crazy things like trying to drop shot at the wrong time or come to the net on a lame approach shot.
Sports analogies work well for politics. McShame is sort of keeping up now, but he's going to make more and more mistakes as he tries to figure out how to beat an opponent who just keeps whipping the ball by him. He may win the first set in the tie break with junk shots, but he's gonna get trounced in the second and third by Obama's natural political skill.

23. Obama is a very intelligent, polished speaker - |
|
he has a lot of experience as a law professor in speaking to groups of intelligent people. Republicans seem to be lacking in intelligence, worship ignorance ("religious" right)and are afraid of intelligent discussion of any problem. They prefer a shallow, quick fix requirind no solution that can't be stated in a TV soundbite. See GWB for examples. Repubs are scared to death of Obama, and deal with that by attempting to make fun of him, but don't do it very well.
I believe they are hurting themselves and don't realise it yet.

Obama simply saw how the nomination race would unfold more clearly from the start. Hillary expected a fragmented left Obama / Edwards / Kucinich race to extend well past super tuesday. This was the scenario that would have had her coming away with a massive share of delegates as the opponents would have had a tough time being "viable" (15+%) in a significant number of the super tuesday states. If it had played out this way, her lead would have indeed been insurmountable. Obama managed the early states very well. He managed them well enough to prevent any real challenge from his left flank.
Once this was accomplished the die had been cast in his favor. Hillary was never going to win a two candidate race. She was not positioned to do so and even under the best of circumstances could not have fashioned a winning majority. She peaked at 47 percent sometime in December 2007.
Her vote for the war did her in. It was not so much the vote for war itself, as if Bush had managed the war competently, found WMD, removed Saddam, and had the troops mostly home by 2007, the IWR vote would have played out entirely differently for her. But then Republicans would now be in much better shape to win the election had this been the case. Her political mistakes were not made against Obama, her mistake was a failure to fully grasp the incompetence of Bush.
Hillary is a high order talent.
McCain is not. In a good year for Republicans, McCain would probably do fine. This year, he won't. Saying stupid and incoherent things is normal for a Republican candidate, it is just this year people are paying attention.

who opted not to change their tactics.
Obama has surrounded himself with Experts who are willing to adjust and be mobile when required.
Unfortunately for Hillary she resorted to Rovian tactics just as McCain is doing and it's is loser path to take.
Most importantly....the main difference between all three of them...
Obama has never become desperate.....Hillary did near the end and McCains campaign is now....McCain's campaign is in distress...
Yup something special is happening!

56. Obama generates crowds with minimal effort. |
|
The GOP is ultimately afraid of people (the masses)and is definitely afraid of those with such appeal. Even those voters with low information quotients are beginning to question what the pukes have done. McCain has to use others to create attention, going to a biker event, making Rovian smear accusations against Obama, trying to use popular culture when he does not have a clue what it means. McCain does not stand a chance on issues and he knows it.

He has out organized everyone, stuck to a game plan, and never lets them see him sweat. It's the coolness that is most frustrating to opponents. This is an area where race works in Obama's favor. I'm not saying black folks are cooler. I am saying that black people who manage to be high achievers in environments where we are a distinct minority have managed to develop a high level of unflappability.

Hi I am working for my school paper and trying to write an article for the fall about each of the major presidential candidates and their strengths and weaknesses. I am pretty clueless when it comes to politics (pretty much all I know is that McCain is old and a Republican and Obama is Black and a Democrat)... I was wondering if some of you could answer some questions for me to better inform me. I plan on asking a conservative site (if anyone can recommend one) so I can try to get it from both sides... anyways, if you could answer these questions I would greatly appreciate it:
1. If any, which political party are you? 2.Who are you supporting for President in 2008? 3. What does that candidate believe on core issues (Iraq, the war on terror, abortion, gay marriage, universal health care, etc.)? 4. What is the most important legislative achievement of your candidate? Why? 5. If elected, who could you see in this candidates cabinet and for which position? 6. Following #5, who do you think would be the strongest choice for a vp running mate? why? 7. What are your candidate's biggest strengths? 8. What are your candidate's biggest weakenesses? 9. Who is the candidate's major opposition and what don't you like about him/her? 10. Do you think the primaries will have any effect in the general election besides the selection of your candidate? i.e. do you think Clinton supporters will try to throw Obama off course or Romney/Huckabee will throw off McCain? 11. Does your candidate have any questionable issues in their past or are connected/have been connected to questionable people? Do you think that is important to consider? Has your candidate's major opponent had any questionable issues or connections in the past? are they important? If so but your candidate's are not, why the disconnect? 12. What is your race, gender, region in which you live (new england, mid atlantic, etc.) and level of education? 13. What do you think is the most important issue in this election?
thank you very much for helping me write my article. If anyone wants some clarification on some of these questions, feel free to ask
