New Poll Shows Barack Obama Tanking in Pennsylvania

The Los Angeles Times ^ | April 14, 2008 | Staff

[Zechariah11]

The first fresh poll results from Pennsylvania are in since Barack Obama's "bitter" comments about people in small towns exploded as a news story, and the findings could hardly be worse for the Democratic presidential contender.

[Slapshot68]

Whaddya know, Barry, there are other Pennsylvanians other than those in Pittsburgh and Philly.

[teddyballgame]

Yeah, that’s a shame. I feel terrible for this elitist snob.

[oust the louse]

Splat...kaboom....he’s giving it away to the lady who rides the broom...

[theDentist]

Well, you know how them religious gun-owning, xenophobes are about being pointed out to the NYT...

[goldstategop]

Schadenfreude! What goes around comes around. As Obama is discovering, his sneering condescension of small town America is baggage that is weight down his once high flying campaign. It couldn't happening to a more deserving guy.

ROFL!

[Mr. Lucky]

What, you mean those unsuccessful, bitter, stupid, gun owning religious fanatics?

[kingattax]

"say it ain't so !"

[pogo101]

They’re just bitter at being called bitter, gun-hugging, racist Jesus freaks. We elites have come to expect this of such hick troglodytes.

“The new poll by American Research Group — conducted Friday, Saturday and Sunday — gave Clinton 57% and Obama 37% (based on interviews with 600 Democrats, the survey has an error margin of plus-or-minus 4 percentage points). The 20-point margin is all the more dramatic because, just the week before, an ARG poll found the pair in a flat-out tie in Pennsylvania, each with 45%.”

[Biblebelter]

it appeared many Pennsylvania Democrats began to turn against Obama because they are simply sick and tired of seeing and hearing his ads.

Good news they found a antidote for Clinton fatigue, Barry Obama fatigue!

[ilgipper]

I have shifted back and forth in this election. I am so incredibly uncomfortable with Obama that I think I feel more strongly that he not get to the White House than I feel even the Clintons. I did not think that emotion was possible, but this guy is simply a danger to our nation. I think McCain could take him due to his extreme views, but he is a very talented candidate, and I think I would rather not risk it. He is a shrewd and vicious campaigner, and I think he could be effective despite all his weaknesses. With the media in the tank for Obama, he may be able to pull the wool over enough peoples’ eyes to eek out a victory.

[Obadiah]

I'm tellin’ ya, between Jeremiah Wright and Obama’s own mouth, the 527’s are going to have a field day!

[Dr. Ursus]

He’s losing voters by the hour in Philly.(by gun shot)

[Obadiah]

...I did not think that emotion was possible, but this guy is simply a danger to our nation.

I hear ya.

[Brilliant]

Looks like Hillary’s effort to paint herself as a “gun-loving church goer” are working.

[2banana]

I was just talking about him when I went to the gun range right after Church last Sunday...

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

[montag813]

Republicans need to ignore Rush and vote for Obama. He would lose 40+ states in November.

[goldstategop]

Yep! Those folks. Obama is not looking for their votes. So much for all his talk about bringing us all together.

[OKIEDOC]

Urr...could it be that voters turned on their hearing aids and heard what this closet racist and arrogant near-do-well candidate really thinks of them.

[unkus]

If the MSM tries to save Obama, they are going to go after Hitlery . No-win situation for the Rats.

[kromike]

I think McCain could take him due to his extreme views, but he is a very talented candidate...

His "talent" is subjective, but you're spot on. Also, McCain would have a very tough time campaigning with an established MSM who's forgone any neutrality and already made Hussein president.

[sam_paine]

I have shifted back and forth in this election. I am so incredibly uncomfortable with Obama...

...and the broom rider is scary too.

But like you say, the MSM is more likely to go in the tank for Obama vs their previous darlin McCain.

But the MSM is obviously tired of Cankles, and they would naturally get back together with McCain if thighness is the Dim candidate.

[junta]

Hard to fathom how a twenty year congregant to a black nazi cargo cult “church” could slip up like this.

I hope there wasn't anybody there who wasn't like you.

[cornbreadmuffin]

Permit to carry: a 100-lb bible and 22-Magnum squirrel gun to church on Sunday morning. Hillary, I never knew ya !!!!

[Brilliant]

We will know that they’ve reached rock bottom when we see photos of them carrying a shotgun and wearing camoflage like Kerry did.

As long as they don’t pull the trigger they can’t be prosecuted for hunting out of season.

[NativeNewYorker]

Osama Obama is still likely to have the pop vote lead come convention time, despite op chaos. the dems would then have a lose-lose proposition: annoint the magic man and lose 40+ states, or pick TheBeast and permanently p!ssoff a quater or more of their core voters. Op chaos is rockin'!

[clamper1797]

Tanking ...

Like Dukakais did ...

[teddyballgame]

It’ll be interesting to see if the polls move at all in NC.

[pipecorp]

barry’s a racist, anti-christian, anti-american liar. but then so was bill..... same as it ever was

[clamper1797]

Tanking ...
Do you mean like this ...

Congrats Brak—you’ve managed to out-Hillary the Canklesaurus Regina itself.

[Lady Jag]

[Plutarch]

[sigh] Those PA little people are just going to retreat more into their religion, guns and bigotry. Such a shame, as Obama could provide them hope to replace their bitterness.

[bestrongbpositive]

I guess Pennsylvanians realize that after “BO” came down off the cross that he isn’t God after all.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Obama blew it all by his own self......

But what a shame, now we have to deal with the Clinton Machine in a new way. Can you say President H.R. Clinton?

[avacado]

I think Obama is the BITTER one because all the San Francisco Billionaires made him enter from the servants' back entrance while they went went through the front door. Just sayin'

I was just talking about him when I went to the gun range right after Church last Sunday...

After church? You mean you guys don't have a gun range at your church? Being from Central Pennsylvania, I just figured everyone did.

And a bar, for the shots and beer later. You know us typical small town Pennsylvanians.

Uh-oh, here comes another wave of bitterness...gotta get my Bible, my gun and my mug.

[Williams]

He deserves it, McCain prefers to run against Hilary, But I think Obama is the weaker opponent, as demonstrated by Obama’s current troubles.

[RoseofTexas]

I don't think so! The SHE-DEVIL is damage goods from now on now that the mediaWHORES have seen to that! Her MACCACA moment was the sniper story. That little lie has been seared in our memories until November! I really believe she cooked her own goose and bubba will continue to keep on giving ! RUSH THE VOTE!

[Dante3]

Obama might still win the nomination. He is too much ahead. If he wins, I doubt his administration can accomplish much of anything. Hillary, however, will be far more powerful, and she is bringing the Rapist back into the White House. And after Hillary - Chelsea?

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Perhaps the same basic Operation Chaos strategy — but, in reverse? Prop up BHO enough to continue the race to the convention?

[Yollopoliuhqui]

The radical left did what they do best, hijacked the Democrat party into the ground. The only elections they have won since Kennedy-Johnson have been with good old boy candidates. You’d think they’d suss that ineluctable pattern. So they got greedy again, went for the brass ring when they could have had Hillary as a shoe in. The rads do not have time on their side. With the Cold War commie nations going capitalist and their enviromaniac grand slam hail Mary pass foundering, they need Obama bad, real bad.

[BunnySlippers]

This is a fun election on the Dem side. :)

[Ditto]

He’s losing voters by the hour in Philly.(by gun shot)

In Philly, that don't matter. Those people are tough.

They can take a full mag on 9 mm to the head and come election day they will still get up off the Coroner's slab and pull the straight Dem leaver.

Philly Democrats never die.

[RinaseaofDs]

This is why there’s an Electoral College. If there weren’t, then you’d only have to campaign in the big cities to win. It doesn’t apply in state political primaries, but it still matters when every vote counts.

[roses of sharon]

LOL, Hussein can’t decide if he is Muslim, Oprah’s Kid, Black, White, Che, Malcolm X, a Marxist/Stalinist/Leninist, socialist, communist, or a Black Liberation Ideologue.

BUT HE HAS ADMITTED HE IS NOT AMERICAN

Which is why the MSM loves him, along with the “world”.
