What republican do you think can actually beat obama?
Problem with obama is his name. I have heard more than one stupid TNen ask "How is Osama bin Ladin running for President"

out of the running i like ron paul, but he is out of the question and my personal opinion doesnt really count here.

i don't think its a case of who can beat him, i think its more of a case of the majority of americans not wanting to vote for a black guy named barack obama. i could see a lot of people not placing a vote his way simply based on the race factor. so, with that in mind, its not difficult to see how virtually any republican could carry the majority of the vote, regardless of their platform. in all honesty, we are talking about a nation that elected Bush Jr. not once, but twice.

Basically you make money off the fur and babies

Llama's are the same thing but i think the fur isnt as good.

No you cant ride them, they will probably spit on you.

I used to live in the boonies and my neighbour had an alpaca farm with like 5 of them.

At the same time I can see a whole lot of people placing a vote FOR him BECAUSE of his race.

yeah, but even if every single black and hispanic voted for him that would still only be in the ballpark of 30%. i dont see that happening, but then again i could be wrong. i guess well have to see...

Next time you watch the news and they show video of an Obama speech in any part of the country (outside of an inner city) look closely at the crowds he draws.

Probably 90% are white people.

Even in the predominately religious conservative midwest his biggest supporters are whites.

but do you really think a significant number of people who WOULD vote for him otherwise won't because of race or name. I think the amount of people who are that stupid wouldn't vote for him because he's a democrat, pro-life etc etc etc

agreed. i'm not saying its the only factor, im just saying that come election time its icing on the cake. personally i dont give a shit, but unfortunately a lot of people do, although most will never say it...even democrats. and to rich b, i know he draws crowds with every race...i'm not trying to say no white person is going to vote for him.
