Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm rooting for Barack too. 3nodding
I brought this up with my dad and he thinks I'm crazy. I'm sure he would agree with voting for him if he knew his platforms, but's a naysayer because:
-"America's not ready for a black president." (When will we be?)
-"His name's Barack OBAMA, and everyone's going to think he's a terrorist." (Here's a prayer that voters won't be that stupid.)

Wow, your dad fails. Seriously, I hate people who will vote for a clearly inferior figure on such stupid excuses as "He's black" or "She's got breasts and a v****a". ********, when are people going to grow up and realize that their ignorance only hurts them when they vote in a poor figure?! See, this is why I hate people complaining about government decisions - most of the ones who just b***h without making points (as in, the nothing-is-ever-good-enough types) voted for the guy in the first place! ******** hypocrites... anyway, yeah, it's about time you guys got a black president. Just keep Hilary away from that office. I keep having visions of a nanny nation with no video gaming industry... *shudder*

The sad thing is, I read in a famous psychic’s, Sylvia Browne, book that the president in 2008 will die of a heart attack or something of the sorts. She said the Vice President will start a war with Korea and will be assassinated. If this is true, I don't want Obama to run for president gonk


However, if this isn't true, who do you want as his vice president?
I can see the bumper stickers now:

OBAMA AND KERRY 08'

I would cry tears of joy.


The only problem you have for running in 2024 is me gonk You will see me in the Democratic primaries as your challenger wink I KNOW! How do you like the titled of vice president? Sounds good, don't it?

Is it bad that I burst out laughing when I saw this (for reasons I don't quite understand?)

In all likelyhood Kerry imploded his run for 2008 when he made that comment. At the very least I doubt the Democrats would put him up.

I think Obama might have a chance. It is good to see people getting excited about someone even if the elections are two years off.

I heard Obama announced he wasn't running. Say it ain't so! gonk

No, he's actually gearing up more for a run (as in travelling in hot spots). He says he will not make an official announcement, though, until early in the new year.

I do believe that Kerry has pretty much said that he's not running. Hillary is of course goin to run, and I think John Edwards is considering a run for it, too. If Obama gets the nomination for presidential candidate, I don't think it would be an Obama/Clinton ticket. I have faith (hopefully not misplaced) that the U.S. has advanced enough that we can elect a black president (or female, if Hillary gets the pres nomination) but I think a black man and a woman would be a bit too much all at once. I can see an Obama/Edwards ticket though, and that would still be great.

I don't remember exactly when I started liking Obama. It's been a while -- maybe early 2005? He's such an amazing guy and I cross my fingers that he gets to run. I'm ready to send off my campaign volunteer request to Austin as soon as he announces he's running, even if I won't be in Austin until fall of 2007. xd
