Barack Obama

Everyone’s getting all hot and bothered about Barack Obama, but remember, this blog tipped him for an ‘08 Presidential run back in March of last year. Who’s yer daddy?

    He won’t win (this time). You heard it here first.

    I am with MrZhisou in this. It is too early in the American history for Obama to win a Presidential. Perhaps in 8 years things will have changed and the time will also be more propitious.

    Thanks for the World Exclusive Zeddie - honoured that you chose this backwater blog to make your esteemed announcement.

    No I don’t think he will win on balance. But underestimate the media’s love affair with Obama at your peril. Hilary is divisive, Warner is a maybe runner, and Bayh has pulled out (because, we are informed, of Obama’s “X-factor”). There is Edwards, Gore (prob won’t run), Biden (who has baggage), Kerry (has serious baggage), and Richardson (who I think may be an outsider).

    Against this line up, and all their complications, Obama looks good.

    so to change tact, he will get the nomination, but the media are controllled by murdoch……ultimately guiliani, mccain, rommey will look the better offer.

    Nah the big media in the States is more liberal - ABC, NBC, CBS. Fox is big on cable but not as big as the behemoths. Also Murdoch’s newspaper portfolio is less impressive in the States. I’m not sure Murdoch would go loco for either of your 3 suggestions. Possibly McCain.

    faced with obama he would go for guiliani, a tried and teseted touch on crimes, i have witnessed his outstanding turn around of the streets of new york, he is also a fiscal conservative, something america has lacked, and both reagan and clinton proved it is possible to enforce budget cuts….

    guiliani may be socially liberal, as with mccain, but both are a dam site more “conservative” than bush could ever dream of….

    rommey, well, a red man elected in a blue state? a mormon? the dark horse
