He is just pathetic. It says something that he's an example of the modern Republican, as misguided as he is. The nuts now the Republican mainstream.

Apart from how wrong he is on the points, it's just terrible political propaganda, riding on appeals to emotion without any substance.

Does the 'he'll go to Washington and rock the place' line ever wear out? There's a problem when every election relies on 'hate Washington' as the campaign theme.

Even when Republicans controlled every branch of government, they'd talk like Washington was some alien group who they were fighting - because it gets votes.

This is why so many elections turn on the fear created of the other side - not on the actual policies of the candidates/parties.

I think he's going to do just fine. He practices running out on freeways at night wearing antlers.

I didnt see these complaints from you in 08 when Obama was using the same type of rhetoric.

Because Obama ran on a different knock the hell out of the place.

But even then, assuming he wins the general election, his main job will be doing constituent services for his district and funding local projects. If he instead just tries to be a make everyone hate me rabble rouser, he will not win a second term.

It was the same appeal to emotion bullshit. Running on a platform blasting Bush policies.

That looked bad.

No Genx87 that wasn't hope and change here. Obama was charismatic and inspirational. He was a charmer with a slick tongue. I don't see that here.

Yeah he doesn't have Obama's Chicago style huckster charm and the passive pseudo-religious inspired oratory style to sell you on goods and ideas you don't need and/or can't afford. Where is all the glamor and glitz to bedazzle all the "hope and change" addicts looking for a new political messiah?

Yes, you did, but your partisan nonsense is the usual from you.

Craig234 1/10/20008:

I have shared the concern about Obama being marketing hype since his 2004 convention speech started the raving.
