Comments on: Just Because Obama is a Minority is No Reason to Vote for Him http://www.8asians.com/2008/11/03/just-because-hes-a-minority-is-no-reason-to-vote-for-him/ A blog for Asian Americans Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:44:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ben http://www.8asians.com/2008/11/03/just-because-hes-a-minority-is-no-reason-to-vote-for-him/comment-page-2/#comment-102749 Ben Fri, 07 Nov 2008 06:42:55 +0000 http://www.8asians.com/?p=2218#comment-102749 Powell's wife won't let him run. And if he did, Obama would have had hell to try to pull off the South for sure then. Powell's one of the few in the GOP that still has a good head on his shoulders. Conservatism does still live rather strong regardless of how the election turned out. Case and point when even in places like CA, where I wouldn't have thought Prop 8 to actually fail until reading some other eye-opening things about the geography and political spectrum. Although I have to admit that I always thought that if Obama picked Hillary as a running mate, that McCain would have had Rice on board. Either way though, McCain did do one thing. He guaranteed that a minority or a female would be in the White House. Powell’s wife won’t let him run. And if he did, Obama would have had hell to try to pull off the South for sure then.
