If Obama and Clinton do form a joint ticket, then four of them will almost cover all permutations of white/black/young/old/man/woman!<BR/><BR/>However, with such acrimoniousness between the two campaigns, I think a dream ticket will be … a dream.<BR/><BR/>Shiren:正是。總統大選是數十億美元的工程,八月才知結果,已經輸了一半。<BR/><BR/>忽發奇想,不如二人講和:Hillary先行,但答應全黨四年後不會連任,「讓位」給Obama。以四年等待換十二年民主黨政府,Obama陣營應該可以考慮考慮。Orangutanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056813274350801133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13832900.post-22577959037341135282008-03-06T22:47:00.000-08:002008-03-06T22:47:00.000-08:00難得有候選人是我想選的,並不是為了避開更糟的那個,在「無選擇下」而選的。還要一下間來兩個,可喜也。著...難得有候選人是我想選的,並不是為了避開更糟的那個,在「無選擇下」而選的。還要一下間來兩個,可喜也。<BR/><BR/>著緊的是,真有可能到八月才定下誰,到時只剩下兩個多月!蝕哂底!shirenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465373657627542127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13832900.post-91478923693844331422008-03-06T19:00:00.000-08:002008-03-06T19:00:00.000-08:00During peace time, I would give Obama a try, but g...During peace time, I would give Obama a try, but given the current situation (economy, nation's reputation among the international community, and the potential "test water" attack from radicals due to change of the administration), Clinton is the safe bet. Personally I'm rooting for her.<BR/><BR/>Share the same view and worries - the race is too tight and I'm a bit concerned that will benefit McCain. It just becomes more unpredictable now...<BR/><BR/>The dream ticket shoulld be a sure win (technically), even Clinton hinted about it, but the question is Obama and Clinton are two different characters, as the debate heats up, it's just... impossible.<BR/><BR/>Regarding VP pick for McCain, a rumor I personally heard from lobbyists... Secretary Rice... Hummmm.... well, perhaps the dream ticket is not totally impossible overall...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13832900.post-20228629801112608342008-03-06T16:48:00.000-08:002008-03-06T16:48:00.000-08:00Shane: Thanks for your clarification.

To me, this particular message still carries a subtle religious undertone ("I'm asking you to believe. Not <B>just</B> in my ability…”<BR/><BR/>On second thought, I was wrong to accuse Obama of empty rhetoric. I’m sure he has lots of insights and ideas, and so does Clinton. What I really mean is that, the Obama camp knows the theme of “hope and inspiration” draws people towards him, and sometimes they overplay their hand. Perhaps I am in the minority, but I believe politics and passion don’t mix very well in a clockwork democracy. Partisan politics is fierce and calculating, that’s how the founding fathers envisioned it. <BR/><BR/>I actually like both candidates. I had hoped Obama would do better last Tuesday to prevent a protracted race. Now, please don’t give us a brokered convention in Denver! <BR/><BR/>Thank you for visiting here.Orangutanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056813274350801133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13832900.post-14995727579569402322008-03-06T14:58:00.000-08:002008-03-06T14:58:00.000-08:00But wait, this is the whole quote:"I'm asking you ...But wait, this is the whole quote:<BR/><BR/><B>"I'm asking you to believe.

He is saying it's not about himself, but is asking his supporter to believe in their own abilities to change. This is not messianic, it's empowerment and leadership. <BR/><BR/>I also don't see any evidence of empty rhetoric. Obama lists a ton of policy details on his website. If you read through his ideas on health care and foreign policy, he actually offers many new and fresh approaches to these issues.Shane Liuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16511852977106948503noreply@blogger.com
