This is why Obama will stay classy tonight

[senseandsensibility]

He is classy. That's who he is. He CAN'T be any different.

You know, I was going to post another reason until just a few seconds ago. My hubby had a conversation with a coworker this afternoon. She's been a big bushie in the past. Today she proudly announced that she was going to vote for Obama, and her whole family and most of her friends were, too. Why? According to her, it's because Obama seems so positive.

So... I was going to post that THAT's why Obama would be classy. He wouldn't want to lose those folks and people like them.

But then, just as I was about to type it, I realized that that's not the reason. For the real reason, see above.:loveya: We just have to accept that Obama is what he seems to be: a genuinely nice guy.

I've wanted him to hit back hard as much as any of you on here, and until a few moments ago I wished for that tonight as well. But it won't happen, and now I understand why.

1. He has nothing to gain by going negative and a lot to lose.

3. Yes, but even if it was politically advantageous for him to do so

he wouldn't.

8. True. He's bringy classy back.

2. I agree.

There will never be an Obama that comes out swinging. He will just counter-attack if necessary and stay on the issues. Let Obama be Obama, it has been working for 10 months now.

4. It's the velvet glove effect. Obama's never come off. The strength underneath is always positive.

I wish I could do that.

5. I doubt he will come right out and say "classy"

:smoke:

6. Really?

He won't say classy, and point at himself and then mouth NOT, and point at McSame? :)

9. I loved the story of him at the airport and giving the lady money for her luggage

so she could board the plane. 20 years ago he was classy and he still is. Face it, we have the nicest most decent guys on our ticket and they have Nasty one and Nasty two.
