To answer the original question, Obama/Powell would be a Nixon/McGovern landslide. Powell wouldn't get the evangelical vote because he's black. He wouldn't get the independent vote because of his presentation to the UN. He wouldn't get the left vote because Obama has that clearly locked up.

if it's their name they can use it. so what. you're pretty defensive about it. in no way shape or form is that racist. get off that band wagon.

If Powell had ANY interest in becoming President, he definitely would have it...no matter who he went up against.
And if he went up against Obama, it would be a Powell landslide.

Why isn't this thread titled "Colin Luther Powell vs Barack Hussein Obama"
DarrinS may or may not be a racist, but it's obvious what he's doing in omitting Powell's middle name but referencing Obama's.
I just want a conservative to tell me what is the special significance of Obama's middle name. I just wish they would come right out and say that Obama is an Unamerican Terrorist Sympathizer instead of skirting around it. Have some fucking balls and man up and own up to that stance instead of implying and inferring.

I'd be shocked if Powell could pull a single state against Obama.

Powell would still own anybody in a presidential election. I hope whoever wins brings him back to State.

Yeah but if the choice is between Powell or a Hussein-middle-named Terrorist Muslim black man whose middle name is Hussein....you gotta think they go with the non-Hussein non-terrorist non-Muslim without Hussein in their name.

I think most of those evangelical voters stay home November 4th if they have to choose between two black men.

Barack is proud of his name. That's why he wanted people to start calling him Barack instead of his nickname, Barry. I don't see why you're so touchy about it.

That's about like saying all black people are voting for Obama because he's black. No?

i still don't see why you are accusing someone of being a racists that simply say/mentions/points out someone's middle name. for pete's sake's the dude he's referring to is half white.

What does being proud of his first name have to do with his middle name?
How come you titled this thread "Colin Powell vs Obama (sic) Hussein Obama" instead of "Colin Luther Powell vs Barack Hussein Obama?"
Why was Barack's middle name significant but Powell's was not? Do you type out "John Sydney McCain?" Do you type out "Sarah Louise Heath Palin?" Do you type out "Joseph Robinette Biden?"
What is the significance of always typing out Obama's middle name? What are you implying? What are you inferring? Do you believe he is an Unamerican terrorist sympathizer?
I'm not touchy, I'm going to call people out on being small when I see it. If you don't like it, maybe you should be consistent in how you refer to candidates, lest we get the wrong idea and put you in the same group as BRHornets45.

I really don't care for Obama, but cutesy little "I don't know what you're talking about, isn't that his name?" excuses like this are fucking lame. You put Hussein in there for a reason, so just admit it and move on, it's a total pussy move to throw it out there and then hide behind some lame ass excuse.

Enough of a proportion to keep from being able to rally the evangelical vote the way Bush did (the only reason he won in 2004). A lot of people would convince themselves they're not racist but then find a way to rationalize not voting for a black man, just like they will this November 4th.

You are completely off base.
Sure, there are racist people out there, but they don't speak for everyone else...and they certainly don't speak for the majority of religious people.
You need to stop generalizing like that.
I think Powell would win if he went up against...name a white man from the Dem. party...I'll say Evan Bayh since his name popped in my head first. Good looking, charismatic, smart, etc...
I would still say Powell wins.

Yep, it's a total bitch pussy move. Man up and say he's too liberal, or not patriotic enough, or sympathizes with anti-American radicals.

Yeah, racism isn't hugely evident in this campaign with the Hussein talk and the 'he's not like us' garbage coming from the right. Bull-shit. Powell would have no chance against Obama and would decidedly lose to even Clinton.

Even Sara Silverman says "Yes, Barack Hussein Obama -- it's a super fucking shitty name". And she's a supporter.

again, how is referring to his middle name as being racists? i don't see that. if He had white skin and people brought up his middle name would you still be calling them a racist?

Just speaking of this website, I'd say only a few people are mentioning "Hussein" when talking about Obama....but they're also the ones throwing around silly nicknames for other people and groups.
It's annoying, but it doesn't make someone racist.
I was also going to mention Clinton in my last message...and sure, he might not win against her, but that's not because of his race.
You would have the wife of one of the most popular Presidents ever running...and not only would she be President, but he'd be back in the White House, and he'd definitely have her ear. People know that and would respond favorably to that.
Good grief. It'd be a woman against a black man. Either way, a "minority" would win the job...and you still want to make this about race.
Give me a break.

then say that the first time and move on, don't give those stupid pussy excuses of "oh isn't that his middle name? i'm just saying his middle name, that's all". we really are a nation of 6 year olds.
