Poll question: Obama vs Bill Clinton. Who will Democrats back?
Edited on Sun Jan-20-08 04:19 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
Obama said on meet the press that he is "troubled" and feels like he's running against both Clintons and that he'll have to confront them.

Place your bets.

2. Like a fish on a hook

You got to be nuts to take on Bill Clinton like this.

Ok I understand in here, he's fair game apparently but to the outside public. Bill is a god to a lot of people. Does he not comprehend this.

He picked the wrong time to do it again, it will come off as sour grapes to the Nevada loss yesterday.

He's furious with Bill for turning Nevada around.

10. Obama's not alone
The Party Leaders are also telling Bill to STFU.

5. Geez, Mr. Clinton, Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Edwards *aren't* running for president.

Seems pointless to state the obvious, but what the hey.

All our candidates' spouses have a role in the campaigns, but candidate isn't on the list.

6. first off, this is a shit poll
second, Bill Clinton has already been rebuked by Party Leaders,
and that was before his embarrassing Las Vegas shenanigans

I think Democrats will see Bill for what he now is,
A man desperate to get back into, or at least near, the seat of Power.

8. Good question (for a push poll)
Do we support a former President tarnishing his image to sell us on more politics as usual?

Or do we support someone who actually dares to think there might be a way out of the mess created by politics as usual?

Thats a tough call........:eyes:

12. In this country we have a President, not a king.
There is no royalty here.

It is in the constitution.

Maybe you need to read it?
