Buyer's Remorse

Poll time!

So how many democrats here are experiencing buyer's remorse over their candidate this election?

many? few? anybody?

None. Hillary had her chance and she wanted to Run a Republican campaign. I didn't respect her for it. Now that she's out of the way, I think that Obama should run a Republican campaign

I guess the assignment for this weekend is to try and stir up discord.

Of course, I'm a Liberal! I'm an American, damn it!

This country was founded on the premise of Liberty and Justice for ALL...remember?

I know but this weekend they'll need to try and keep the discussions off the week their candidates had as much as possible.

my only regret was not picking Hils as the VP

This is ridiculous... another example of the GOP trying to turn our own thoughts against us! How many Dems wonder if the GOP is regretting their ticket this year with every passing day and passing interview.

THAT'S what I want to know...

So GOPers, do YOU regret the choices made by your party for your ticket this year?

I'm pulling for Obama but I started having voter's remorse in summer.

During the primaries, at the voting booth, I actually hesitated, before choosing Obama.

Hillary & Bill pissed me off so during her campaign, there was no way I could vote for her.

But this summer as Obama failed to adapt his well-worn message, I became concerned. I mean it's simple survival code. Adapt to the conditions. Right now, he's still using the same message -- and McCain has stolen it and improved on it.

And his strategy of trying to be likeable really pissed me off over the summer -- he'd say one thing. If someone disagreed, he's apologize and hedge. I mean you can't please everyone all the time. There is such a thing as too much diplomacy. Like Jesse, I wanted to cut off his balls -- but they were already gone.

Now, there's all this smiling and laughing and joking and sniping. This sniping Obama is not the Obama I fell in love with. And I think the strategy will backfire. Impress me with innovative strategies to address the crises in this country.

Hillary is brilliant and she knows how to navigate stuff. Her campaign sucked and failed at first but because she can ADAPT she created a huge comeback with the whole faux-feminism angle. I'm confident that Hillary would come up with some innovative ways to address our country's dilemma. She would stay up all night as a matter of ego to do it. During the convention, I was literally sickened that she was not up there to accept the nomination of President.

I kid you not -- during the roll call, I secretly wanted a surprise steal! I wanted Hillary to get the most votes and cause a bunch of drama by hijacking the Democratic convention. That would be sooo Hillary!

But alas, she stopped the roll call. It's a travesty that she's not on the ticket. But she would have outshined him as VP. He should be her VP if I can speak honestly. And if Bill and HIlllary had not made terribly offensive remarks during her campaign -- that's the way it would be.

I am hoping Obama wins ...but I do not expect it. I mean why is a mediocre candidate like McCain tied or leading with a slight edge? That's mindboggling.

He has not adapted and strategized properly and yes I made the wrong decision. He should be learning under HIllary as her VP candidate right now and he could have run in the future.

I can only hope that political master Bill Clinton can save his ass as he begins campaigning for him in the final stretch.

Whew. I guess I really needed to confess.

Gosh, I just KNEW this thread was about folks who voted for Bush twice...

From seeing that press conference at the barry/bill lunch I don't think bill's gonna be sharing many of his skills.

He can't fake it.

Of course, I'm a Liberal! I'm an American, damn it!

Now if you thought that was getting behind the barry wagon, then you really need to back off the kool aid.

lazycrockett said:

yeah
on the understanding I am not a Democrat or get to vote in the election
I thought Obama showed a lot of promise and potentially offered a genuine attempt at voicing the left in mainstream American Politics

sadly the very qualities and influences that made him genuinely appealing seem to be the very ones first jettisoned to win the prize.


quite what this says about the candidate and the system he is trying to succeed in probably do not bear thinking about.

That the American people can even contemplate voting for whatever candidate the Republican Party stands, given the absoluter and utter CRIMINALITY of the current administration potentially means America has gone totally to the far right of the political spectrum


And that is a God Damn shame.

i think BOTH Obama and McCain should serve.

oh, come on. you know why.

None what so ever! I'm very happy with Obama and I really like his VP choice. I hope he wins, it seems like with every passing year with the republican's horrible economic philosphies and selfish agendas, our country has gotten more and more broke, stupid and fearful. If Obama wins I think it will create a psychological lift for this country, I really hope people's predjudice and irrational fears don't hold people back from voting in a new direction because I believe Obama has the right ideas.
