Clyburn Feels Obama Can Win S.C.
Clyburn said the nation’s financial meltdown and tumbling stock market have improved Obama’s odds here.
“I think it’s still a long shot, but it’s not as long a shot today as it was a month ago,” he said. “People are beginning to see we’ve got to have new leadership.”
Obama has as much chance of winning South Carolina as I do of getting laid by the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders tonight. Clyburn is right about one thing, though, and that’s new leadership is sorely needed in this country, but not the Marxist leadership that Obama and Pelosi will offer the nation.
David Gergen, an independent political pundit, said last night that what Obama wants to do that some people are calling socialist is return the country to what Ronald Reagan started and W. Bush ended.
I see very little parallel between Reagan and Obama.
