Lets hope so....

This guy isn't racial pride candidate like Sharpton or Jackson, he's a legitimate contender. If he isn't nominated, they will view it as a betrayal of decades of lockstep support for the Dims. "Walking around money" won't make up for it.
You have more faith in them than I do. Hope you are right.
On which planet do these particular people live?
If Obama is the candidate we want to run against, Operation Chaos is not a good strategy. It seems to have the negative side effect of driving up Democratic registrations
Rush reminded republicans participating in Operation Choas to switch their registration back after it serves its purpose. He says public election funds are allocated on the basis of party registrations.
By the same token, had Bush really used his bully pulpit to push for drilling in ANWR, we might be seeing the first barrels of oil coming from there now.
When Bush really uses his bully pulpit, he's good, passionate, and gets his message across. When he lets the dhimmis stomp on him with their clear view of the past in which they live, we have high gas prices, skyrocketing food and other prices (that amount to an intangible tax on our political complacency!).
What to do, what to do . . . . .
Agreed. Bush put a fairly good energy plan forward for 5 or 6 years, but he never really fought for it, and he NEVER pointed out that the Dems were responsible for prices at the pump, and that they opposed the plan because they wanted high gas prices.
For the life of me, I will never understand why he walked away from his energy plan and let the Dems win the battle over domestic oil production. Since I doubt that he will begin to shine a light on this fire, I think we are stuck at the mercy of OPEC, the Saudis and Hugo for the foreseeable future. The spineless jellyfish in our Congress refuse to respond in kind for fear that the rest of the world may not like us. They already don't like us, so what's to lose??
FWIW, I'm waiting to hear the leftists start back with the "blood for oil" mantra. I think I'll take the next one to a gas station and ask them to prove it!! If it were true, we wouldn't be hearing about high gas prices.
The independents will decide the election. The environmental moonbats have screwed up energy policy, energy independence and our economy by having a 60 vote filibuster busting combination of RINOS and donkeys. Electing donkeys will make the current situation worse. McRino will need a miracle to sell that.
On Obama's Electability, Contra Judis
A lib's rebuttal to the author
“$4.00/gallon gas will seem like the good old days....”
Very true. Now the Democrat leadership wants to add an additional 50 cent tax on gasoline.
The only problem is McCain is in agreement with them as far as no drilling in ANWR or anywhere else.
It is interesting to note that this sentence fragment admits that the media sees itself as the arbiter of democrat power. If a "media firestorm" is necessary, why doesn't the media simply create one out of thin air, as they do for Republicans?
...”The racist Obama may be even left of McGovern, but the country is considerably less sane (ie more Leftist) than it was in 1972.”...
However, McGovern was a bona fide war hero, winning the DFC for his strategic bombing service over Europe in WWII. That alone makes it necessary to respect him, aside from his politics.
Obama on the other hand, is nothing - empty, vaporous - but potentially extremely dangerous to America in the Oval Office. In my view, he merits little respect given how the way was cleared for him as a sock puppet politically. He needs to be sent packing, preferably back to Chicago whence he came.
And even if he loses, Oprah’s Obama may have coattails to bring new Democrat socialists to House and Senate.
I don’t think so. I think a “D” means more to African Americans than any other letter of the alphabet.
