Subject: After what is coming down, I am going to take a very close look at McCain. I am having major doubts about Obama. Author: IDLH [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Tue, April 29, 2008 1:07:23 I have been an unabashed Obama supporter up to now. But I must tell you that after watching what is going on I have many concerns about Obama and whether he is really the man to lead this country. I am having serious doubts about him. The Jeremiah Wright controversy will not go away and it will carry on through the general election if Obama gets nominated. I now think there is a very real chance (it seemed totally unlikely a couple of weeks ago) that Hillary will steal the nomination. For all I know Wright may be secretly working for the Hillary Clinton campaign. Either way, Obama being a "sure thing" no longer seems like a sure thing. The governor of North Carolina has just endorsed Hillary. There is no way that she will win North Carolina unless Obama robs a bank or does something rash like that. But if Obama wins by a very small margin and if Hillary wins Indiana, then I think all bets will be off. The poll that came out yesterday showed that Hillary would beat McCain 50 to 41. Obama would beat McCain 46 to 44. That is a major turn of the tide. Obama is not going to lose the nomination in one day. But if the dribbles keep coming in (drip, drip, drip) on a steady basis, then he may well NOT be nominated. In spite of my serious doubts which I am expressing candidly here, I would still vote for Obama. But what if it's Hillary versus McCain? I cannot stomach Hillary, so I am going to take a long hard look at McCain. If I cannot in good conscience vote for either of them, I may just stay home on Election Day and pray that whoeever wins turns out for the best. To those who may criticize me for writing this and say that I am worried too much, I can only say to you ..... I hope that you are right. But in my heart I am not terribly sure anymore.
