Then you are obviously too young to remember Kennedy (JFK and RFK) back in the 60's. Both would have been elected had RFK not been assasinated in 1968.
Those of us who do remember those years see Obama as the same type of candidate. At least our generation has seen this twice in our lifetime.

It's Amazing how sure these people are of what Obama is but in the same vain will remind that they don't know what he stands for, and have no idea whet he is all about.
This can only make sense to a person who follows like a lemming and does no thinking for themselves. I listen to rush for a bit yesterday and he is saying this same foolish crap. For the love of country please start to do some thinking of your own! It really makes you seem silly repeating what this guy says he is an idiot.

JFK DID cut the marginal tax rates (at least as the percentage of tax appears on paper), but he actually raised them by closing the loopholes that the rich were using to avoid taxes. The result was that the rich actually DID pay more of their fair share...

JFK was a fiscal conservative. Something a contemporary Republican would attack.
Obama sounds like he`s hawk enough to me. He intends to go after the terrorists and finish the job that Bush could not be bothered to start, despite Bush`s promises to not rest until OBL was brought to justice. Remember 9/11?
McCain has raised taxes, stolen private property for cronies, flip-flopped on the most important issues because of pressure from his own party (if he thinks that is pressure, how do you think he will stand up to the heat of the WH), he is for handouts for cronies, he is the opposite of a fiscal conservative, he is anti-vet, anti-child, anti-healthcare (hypocrite gets best socialized medicine in world), etc.
Many of the Republicans I know would rather vote for Obama than McCain.

Interesting fact, IanFraigun: When RFK was young he aligned himself with McCarthy (communist witch-hunter). My perception is the democratic party has actually moved left since then. RFK was certainly well-loved.
Obama needs to be wary of Soros and keep him at arm's length, since Soros has actually stated that he welcomes the economic decline of the U.S. and the rise of China. Of course, Soros made his own money in the U.S.!
I actually suspected that, due to the extreme right turn of the Bush administration, we were going to have to snap left. My biggest concern is the Supreme Court, if you want to know the truth. I'd much rather see a dem appoint the next judge/s than a repub. That's the real legacy of a president.
