CBS Surprisingly Skeptical on Obama–Wright

Interesting. It depends on when the poll was taken though. before or after Obama's break up with his minister?

It Shows that he's still too strong, and needs more punishment from the Clintons, which, unless the bottom drops out from under her, she will deliver.

And if Obama thinks he can win, He'll do what he has to her as well.

Hopefully it ends up that no matter which of them win, both appear too disgusting for Americans to want as President.

Both are still too scary for me at this point.

It was taken from April 24-28. Only in NJ.... Makes you wonder how she’s polling in NY.

Poll: Obama surges past Clinton among New Jersey Democrats

I thought they were only supposed to be skeptical of Republicans.

[Nathan Zachary]

Gezz, if only we could be sure Hillary won’t win the WH, sounds like she should win the nomination, LoL!

It would be nice to see the Democrats implode after this election is over, and Pelosi Reid, Kerry etc. gone. I don’t think Clinton would stand a chance if she tried to run again in 2012. this is her last kick at the can. her popularity goes down every year.

[Nathan Zachary]

But then they could suprize us and run Chelsea!!1 AAACK!

[popdonnelly]

Politics or not, Obama did what he had to do to distance himself from the rantings of Wright. And that’s a good thing, because it frees him from the responsibility of defending every nutty statement that comes out of the ‘hood.

Obama was indeed only 8 in early 1970. I was only 9 then, the year Ayers’ Weathermen tried to murder me.

In February 1970, my father, a New York State Supreme Court justice, was presiding over the trial of the so-called “Panther 21,” members of the Black Panther Party indicted in a plot to bomb New York landmarks and department stores. Early on the morning of Feb. 21, as my family slept, three gasoline-filled firebombs exploded at our home on the northern tip of Manhattan, two at the front door and the third tucked neatly under the gas tank of the family car.

I still recall, as though it were a dream, thinking that someone was lifting and dropping my bed as the explosions jolted me awake, and I remember my mother pulling me from the tangle of sheets and running to the kitchen where my father stood. Through the large windows overlooking the yard, all we could see was the bright glow of flames below. We didn’t leave our burning house for fear of who might be waiting outside. The same night, bombs were thrown at a police car in Manhattan and two military recruiting stations in Brooklyn. Sunlight, the next morning, revealed three sentences of blood-red graffiti on our sidewalk: Free the Panther 21; The Viet Cong have won; Kill the pigs

It would be nice to see a poll at the end of the week to get a more accurate measure after this weeks developments.

If Obama is still up, then it looks like he pulled off the " I'm a victim" act. :o(

Obama and Rev. Wright: How close? (2008 vs. 2007)

Yep, plus it allows Wright to keep campaigning for him without worrying about hurting him. A perfect ending.

All Obama has to worry about appearing non-racist to is whites, and media is doing there best to make it so after yesterdays performance. It will be just as before, nedia omitting all Obama's Marxist, Jihadist and Panther black power supporters.

IF he survives this week. Hillary's turn now. She has to drop another bomb by weeks end for people to stew on over the weekend.

[counterpunch]

They wouldn’t be gone from congress, just gone from power in the Party. New Clinton Loyalists would be appointed to every seat of power. The Clintons are Stalinists like that.

[Nathan Zachary]

We’ll never see MSM expose this little discrepancy, will we...

[maine-iac7]

his current pratfall for example

Perfect analogy

Well, Barry sent Bob Beckel over to tell the Friends on Fox that this means nothing..."nobody will care in November," says Bob.

"These people don’t realize the black mind set—Iguess they forgot about the OJ trial"

Althemore reason to think about obama-llama-ding-dong winning the primary and running again mcstain.

McCain is alreay milquetoast when it comes to competing with whomever is to be his opponent, but if obama-llama-ding-dong get the nomination, anything...ANYTHING...McCain or the "right" says will be hot-stamped as 'racist' right out of the gate.

Blacks know the "race card" is the winning card, and based on history they will play it at every hand. Logic is out the window, the race card will bring the sublime and rediculous to the top of the deck.

This has happened in many cities and even in congress, where only issues benefiting blacks get passed while the infrstructure crumbles. What makes us believe it will be any different at the National level? This is especially so with Obama's church and all of his mentors hating "whitey" so much.

The "White Obamists" are useful idiots, who will rapidly become "typical white people" once Obama gets in...they're just too stupid and [white] guilt-ridden to see it.

Of course, with the field we have in play, we're doomed no matter who wins the White House this time.

[Enchante]

Yes, I read that column this morning, very moving story about a family with young children under vicious murderous attack by the Ayers-type fanatics.

It would be great if we could keep hearing from many more whose lives, families, friends, and colleagues were menaced, attacked, or torn apart by the Weatherfreaks, Black Panthers, etc. Those nuts have had an undeserved aura of nobility in much of the political left (as we can see in Obama’s cozy relationships with some of them) and it’s long past time to get a lot more info about what really happened into the media and the historical record.

[uncbob]

I thought the Obamites ( white Obama supporters) wouldstickit out since they are like a cult

They still might but outwardly they aren’t beingso demonstrative

Here in SE PA the Obama signs were still on the yards last weekend but absent today when I drove by

[moose2004]

You’ve got nothing to worry about. I don’t believe the MSM will ultimately allow Hillary to steal the nod from Obama. But, in the end, if she somehow does become the nominee after being behind in the total vote and elected delegates counts she will enrage and alienate the black community and college/young people nationwide. Howard Dean has only himself to blame for the disastrous condition of his party. The dems are in deep doo doo.

[uncbob]

Democrat superdelegates are more concerned with retaining their own power than a Democrat winning the White House. That’s not their job on the line. We must view this through that prism. Democrat party leaders have already stabbed the Clintons in the back — prematurely. I’m sure they’re kicking themselves now. It is too late for them to back away from Obama. If they give Hillary the nomination, the Clintons will begin a systematic Stalinsist purging of the Party of Disloyalists. That means goodbye Howard, goodbye Nancy, goodbye Harry, goodbye Teddy, goodbye Kerry. And yes, goodbye Bill “Judas” Richardson. The fact is, Obama now leads in support from elected Democrats. That’s a lot of people who are going to be very worried if Hillary gets the nomination. They’ve fought hard to push the Clintons out of the Party. They’re not going to let them take over all over again just because Obama probably won’t win in November. The superdelegates now are going to be locked in a battle over which candidate is going to have a more deleterious effect on down-ticket races. It will be every man for himself. Party leaders will desperately want to protect their turf from the Clintons. Elected officials will be split over who hurts them more. The answer will depend on who their constituents are, what part of the country they live in. Some will fear the blue-collar backlash against Obama. Others will fear the anti-Clinton Republicans and independents. And of course front and center in this debate will be the all important issue of fundraising. Either candidate is going to hit a large number of Democrats with negative coattails. However, all can agree that they want Obama’s money.

Best analysis I have seen yet
