If Barack Obama doesn’t win November’s presidential election in the United States, you can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye, the actor and director Robert Redford told an audience in Dublin last night.
Speaking at a public interview in Trinity College in advance of his conferral with an honorary degree by the university today, Redford said he hoped Obama would win because while John McCain represents yesterday, the Democrat embodied the sort of change America needed.

Political predictions and endorsements by hollywood types should be taken with a grain of salt by anyone with any sense.

Barack Obama will bring change, that is for certain.

Democratic party died in the primaries whether people wish to admit or not! If you don’t believe then ask one of the 2.5 million PUMA Dems who will not be supporting BO and have managed to raise $10Million to pay off Hillary’s debt, those numbers are real and something you can believe in!

Redford represents yesterday…he is a tree-hugging liberal to the max!

Redford makes a good point.
If Obama can’t win against McCain, when:
-Bush’s approval rating is around 20%,
-the economy is in the toilet,
-people are tired of the Iraq war and Bush’s war on terror,
-and the general incompetence of every facet of the Bush Administration,
then the big money Democrats (that keep the party afloat) will flee from the party in droves.

May be the end of republican rule . Hope so.

What do I think about the end of the dumocraps? Good! They have brought it upon themselves.
Redford is just another privileged star and his opinions have no impact on the lives of real Americans.

I used to like his movies, but another Hollywood liberal leftist he is! AS far as his comment on Obama and the democratic party…I partly agree…I wish for the end of the democratic party as it now is. As far as McCain, I hope he wins and then conservatives from both partys can work on tweaking the republican party as well. We need less government, not big government! We certainly need to get back to the basics of the founding fathers..we have strayed away too much from the things that have caused us to be a great nation! Thanks for the question!

I think it should be the end of the Democratic party, but it won’t be.
The democrats have already run two very unsuccessful candidates who were pretty much carbon copies of each other policy-wise and watched them fail in 2000 and 2004, yet in 2008, they are making the same mistake all over again. They are running the same guy but he just happens to be black. This is ridiculous.
I certainly hope that the democratic party gets a clue and runs a person who the American people can actually identify with, but that doesn’t seem likely for the third time in a row. My guess is that they give it a fourth shot in 2012 and fail again.

since the democratic party has elevated obama to messiah level, they deserve everything that happens. Fortunately he will not be elected so I for one would like to see all the idiots that are blindly supporting this con man move to Kenya. then maybe,
and that is a big maybe, realize the democratic party has outlived is usefulness.I really don’t care what washed up redford says.

I was not aware that Robert Redford was a serious academic of political science. I consider his views with the same regard as my next door neighbor. If McGovern’s landslide loss did not wipe out the democratic infestation in Washington, and Carter’s
landslide loss could not wipe out the Democratic infestation in Washington, I am CERTAIN that a much closer loss by Obama will not harm the party in any meaningful way. I could HOPE though.

I hope and pray that is exactly what happens.
