Stephen Colbert Debates the Issue of Electability

Posted by John Publius Jr. on May 2nd, 2008 — in Comic Relief, Opinion Polls - VOTE!, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain, Blog

As the Democratic Party moves towards finally choosing its 2008 presidential nominee, the issue of “electability” is central, especially for the remaining undecided super delegates. Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have strengths, weaknesses, and very similar positions on the main policy issues. The Democrats want to choose the candidate who has the best chance to defeat John McCain in the general election on November 4th.

As often is the case, after reading many articles, listening to talk radio, and watching TV news shows of the serious pundits, I find that comedy shows have as much insight and needed perspective.

I enjoy this video of Stephen Colbert debating with himself on the question of electability.
