Democrats in 2008

Oklahoma unlike in 2004, will not play a large role in selecting our president. I would like to point out that Oklahoma showed it's smarts. We were the only state to put John 'i am more boring than watching 48 straight of c-span' Kerry in third place where he belonged. We also voted against Bush by the largest margin 10% of Oklahoma Republicans voted for Bill Wyatt.

On the democratic side things are heating up fast. Already, two second-tier candidates have dropped out, Mark Warner and Evan Bayh. This leaves us with the main event or so called top-tier candidates they are Obama, Clinton, and Edwards.

Obama? or is it Osama? his name is -2 percentage point from the start, to many good negative ads can be made by his name alone. Then come the cold hard truth he is very LIBERAL. Obama will hurt democrats chances in holding Senate. A state senator told me that they want to run with somebody who Oklahomans at least are not polarized against, that list also includes Clinton. Obama is unexperienced; on gaffe and the whole show is over, his campaign is a house of cards since it is all about his image.

Clinton, okay first she is not Bill. She has negatives at 40% that is a horrible baseline to start from. Again please help grow the democratic party if your a democrat, don't just pick a polarizing figure.

Edwards, okay so he is charismatic, has held a job outside politics, and is pretty good looking. His big issue is fighting poverty, he grew up in a shack in South Carolina. He has the story, and is a good campaigner, plus he wont alienate Oklahomans at the ballot box. Not to mention of the first four states Iowa(he currently leads in polling), Nevada(big labor backing there), New Hampshire(3rd place finish likely), and South Carolina(home state what more is there).
