This is why John McCain has a better than 50% chance in November, when the democrats should've been able to sweep to victory. It will become more and more apparent to Joe & Jill Mainstream that Obama is an America-hating socialist as time goes on.

Obama has consistently done poorly with key constituencies of the Democratic Party: union members, Hispanics, wage earners making less than $50,000 a year, and older females. They don’t want Obama as their nominee and they stubbornly won’t fall in line.

The Obama-Clinton map looks almost exactly like the Gore-Bush blue/red map.

It is a sea of red, with Obama's blue pockmarks in a.) large, urban counties, b.) state capitols and c.) college towns. The suburbs, mid-size cities and rural areas are all red -- for Clinton.

In that sense, Obama might be said to represent the distilled essence of liberalism.

Unfortunately, for him, the rest of the world is to the right of Boston, Baltimore, Washington, Berkeley, Ann Arbor and Madison.

I think Obama is going to have a huge Israel problem, too, which could cost him not only Florida but New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, especially if Lieberman goes on the road for McCain.

I believe that Ruddy is wrong as to the "Pledge" issue. On the clips I saw, they were singing the national anthem - the singer was clearly in the middle of the anthem and Obama was NOT holding his hand over his heart.

Unless this was rigged, this is an inaccurate depiction of the event.

He is not a “secret Muslim,”

Very True, Obama is not a secret Muslim!

Someone ought to send the writer of this article the VIDEO!

This is all good. my position from the outset has been that the Beast will be easier to beat in the General. If they’re smart (which they are not) Osamabama < / Kennedy mispeak > would yield immediately, let the Beast go to the General. Osamabama then begins immediately collecting the failures of President Juan McStain for Campaign ‘12 and wins in a landslide.

OBAMA is nailed PING.

Usually, once a candidate nabs the nomination he must run to the middle. And fast. By the time Obama gets the actual nomination in August, however, he will have little time to prove himself to middle voters. He should be doing that now . . . though he seems to have little interest in doing so.

That's going to be a problem for Hillary as well, because she will lose the leftists (mostly 20something dopers) if she moves toward the middle for November. Obama won't do it because he has no intention of doing it, and doesn't think he should be asked to, because he's an arrogant racist POS.
