The Washington Times ^ | August 4, 2008 | Ralph Z. Hallow

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's lead in Massachusetts has plummeted 14 percentage points since June, a new Suffolk University-7 news poll shows.

Mr. Obama leads Republican John McCain 47 percent to 38, down from a 23 point spread in June, and is bleeding support from male voters, independents and older voters.

Actually it was the day before if I am not mistaken. Yesterday was just my poll. ;-)

“Obama is in deep dodo if he is losing Liberalville Mass.
What ever he is doing—he better change or it will be a major loss for the Dimmycrats (He he).”

He needs to get out to the gas pumps at the local filling stations. He can check tire pressure for everyone who fills up.
“Hi, I’m Barack Obama and I’m here to check your tires.”

They are lowering Obama’s polls now because after the Democrat Convention they want to give him a 20 point jump.

LOL, speaking of which the McCain Campaign is running a funraising campaign which $25 donation will get you a Barack Obama Energy Plan Tire Pressure Gauge. What a hoot!

As more time passes, it’s harder for people to deny the fact that Obama really does hate America (and he’s not too keen on white folk either).

I read that today, I love it.
I had the same idea over the weekend; I like how our side is using some creativity.
That seems to have been lacking from many campaigns.

But he could lose the other 56 states

56 states?

Oh, you mean those 57 states. I think we can assume they're pulling for Obambi to win, inshallah!

No worries my friend. IF that were to happen, the Democrats would tear themselves apart and the convention would be a 3 ring circus with the Democrats showing the ugly side of the party (all those warts they try to hide). Hillary would have to try and shore up the black vote, which would be alienated and they would hemorrage money. McCain wins by landslide. Easy day.

Excellent! I made a contribution just to get the Obama Energy Plan Tire Guage. That's going to be a keeper.

Maybe because the people of Mass are realizing that Cadillac’s bud Barack Hussein will drive the whole country into the ground as Cadillac is doing in Mass?

I’m so glad Obama started campaigning as long ago as he did

You've put your finger on it.

As long as he was someone people could imagine as whatever they liked, he was golden. But he's been around for so damned long, that we've weathered the "If you don't like him you're a racist!" wave, and people in the privacy of their own thoughts are thinking "I know I'm not against black politicians--I just don't like HIM, and he doesn't offer anything as an INDIVIDUAL"

Whatever they tell friends and pollsters, voters have had so long with this guy in the news they have been forced to actually engage their brains. That may be our salvation.

That is an excellent observation, and, yes...Deval Patrick is an empty suit idiot and a disaster. Obama is Deval Patrick on a national level.

On a related note, besides his vacuous incompetence, the thing I HATE about him is that I have to google his name nearly every single time before I utter or write it. I have a mental block, and am unable to remember which is his first name and which is his last name.

They probably wouldn’t replace Obama with Hillary.

That would tear the dhimmirat party apart. I’d like to see that, and then have a conservative party right flank McCain in ‘12.

I’m sure the Dhims would rather have Obama lose in a landslide and keep their party together, blaming “racism” for Obama’s landslide loss.

You KNOW that when the big O loses, there will be no other reason than racism given in the media.

Yes that’s true. If Obama was white, he’s just another Senator.
