Should we refer to our candidates as "Mrs. Bill Clinton" and "Barack Hussein Obama"?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

Why or why not?

I think we should call them by the names they refer to themselves as on the campaign trail but I could be wrong.

1. Let's just stick with Senator Clinton and Senator Obama...

Mrs. is too retro and middle names just add bulk.

2. Mrs Bill Clinton is fine, it's a good brand name

"Barack Hussein Obama" is a poor brand name with bad connotations. It reminds me of Buick giving their cars French names, why? If we must have a black candidate, why not one with an "American" name? Republicans couldn't invent an easier candidate to beat.

3. Can't use Obamas middle name..

he's afraid of it...

6. His handlers and supporters are afraid of it...

but I wonder if the repugs will be using it if he is the nominee?:shrug: Nah...they wouldn't go there.:evilgrin:

4. Those name selections seem loaded.

I don't see why one would select Obama's middle name, and "Mrs. Bill" for Hillary. What's the point in that?

9. well as another post said, GOP will do it anyway. Problem is one is optional, other is a real name.

:shrug:

10. As a general philosophy, I hate names.

Anyone with integrity would not allow their names to give them special advantage (ie. Bush & Romney). And likewise people who have unfortunate names should not be marginalized. In a perfect world, everyone should be able to select their own names, so whatever the candidates prefer is fine with me. As far as the Repukes go, if they want to criticize superficial aspects of individuals then they are their own worst enemies. Just my opinion.

5. You're always wrong.

But that doesn't stop your fucking jerkin' around.

7. I think that both 'Sen. Edwards' or 'John Edwards' are appropriate.

8. Hillary Clinton has her own name.

What is she? A shadow trailing behind her husband? Gag.
