In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent, wiping out Obama's solid 7-point advantage in July and taking his first lead in the monthly Reuters/Zogby poll.

If Hillary takes the nomination, she might make Obama her VP. That might quell the riots. Then again, it might not.

[ConservativeMan55]

I don’t think it would.

The blacks want Obama as the first black President.

Anything less would be a slap from “whitey”

They see him as the annointed one.

[Fresh Wind]

I guess “back of the bus” is worse than “under the bus”.

[libscum]

Did Oduma say “he” 5 times or was it Mccain regarding the VP pick ? ? ?

after the euro love fest, hawaii interlude, and church stumble,

i think the dims are discovering that they’ve got damaged goods!

[omega4179]

The theme will be Obama:he’s what we got stuck with.

I wish this had happened later as Hillary's people will now try to take the nomination away from Obamanation.

Yes, Hillary is a greater threat than Obama at this point.

McCain had best be prepared. "Anything can happen." The Clintons know this all too well. (Often they're the cause.)

" ... There is nothing the dems can do to alienate the typical black voter. The pathology is too established ..."

Correct.

Should the Dims rethink (yeah ... I know, oxymoron) the partially black dude for the happily married Hillary, the hyphenated blacks will still go over the cliff like the lemmings.

"There is no doubt the campaign to discredit Obama McCain is NOT paying off for McCain..."

There you go, John. Let's just stick to the truth, shall we?

The Democrats have been in panic mode for some time now, as they realize they have chosen a horribly flawed, unelectable candidate. They're in a mess--of their own creation--and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving gang of lying, self-serving, sociopathic gutter rats.

I expect McCain to widen his lead over Obama more and more as November approaches and to win the Presidency by a large margin--probably a landslide.

The miracle of all this is that the rejection of Obama occurs in spite of a relentless, ubiquitous, unceasing barrage of propaganda aimed at the American people by the so-called "journalists" of the "Mainstream Newsmedia", "celebrities", and other Democrat operatives and sympathizers--with their usual distortions, voluntary censorship, disinformation, mendacity, attempts at subtle and not-so-subtle persuasion, et c., et al.

I wish this had happened later as Hillary's people will now try to take the nomination away from Obamanation.

Such a move now would probably permanently destroy the Democrat Party and her winning the general election would be impossible if Hillary stages a successful coup at the convention.

One of the delicious ironies of the Democrat dilemma is they have lifted up two icons of "entitled" candidacy - a black man and a woman. Both want their historic "place" in history and both are claiming, "I am more entitled to my historic stature than my opponent."

It's all style over substance and the Democrats are in a lose/lose situation.

[CommieCutter]

“No, I think it’s good that buyer’s remorse and anxiety will be the theme of the convention. Obama will be the nominee but will be weakened, not strengthened at Denver”.

Plus, even if they did steal it, then the other side will feel jipped and ripped off, like the Hillary people are feeling now.
That was the problem for them, no matter what candidate was chosen the other was discrimated against somehow.

[I'm ALL Right!]

My FIL has finally jumped off the Obama train. He is such a smart man...I can’t believe he ever considered Obama a QUALIFIED choice. Anyway, he regained his sanity this week and doesn’t trust Obama now.

[P-Marlowe]

I wish this had happened later as Hillary's people will now try to take the nomination away from Obamanation.

If Hillary walks away with the nomination, then the black people and the left wing ideologues who are all ga ga for Obama will sit the election out in protest.

Hillary is looking at 2012. If she is secretly undermining Obama's chances, it is because she has her eye on the 2012 election. If she takes it away from Obama at this point, then she will never get elected president and she, being the smartest woman in the world, should know this.

[edzo4]

Pubbies should be making plans to campaign against Hillary

switching to hillary now will cost the dems more votes than it will gain them, and the DNC in denver will make 68 in chicago look like a county fair

[Rodm]

Bill & Hill will really be submarining Obama now, they see the opportunity for Hill in 2012 after OB crashes and burns.

[Jeff Head]

Hehehe...polls now turnig against Obama. My guess if the poolls are showing this kind of lead, the reality is much, muhc worse for the Obamanation.

...as regards Hillary. Let her. If she is somehow successful that will fracture the dems worse than they already are.

[ConservativeMan55]

“Obama’s Here” by Ludacris.
I’m back on it like I just signed my record deal
Yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping
wet, it got sex appeal
Never should have hated, You never should’ve doubted him
With a slot in the president’s iPod Obama shouted ‘em

Said I handle my biz and I’m one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I’m ever in the slammer
Better yet put me in office, make me your vice president
Hillary hated on you, so that bitch is irrelevant

Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
If you said it then you meant it how you want it head or gut?
And all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win majority vote in every state on my man

You can’t stop what’s bout to happen, we bout to make history
The first black president is destined and it’s meant to be
The threats ain’t fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
So get off your ass, black people, it’s time to get out and vote!

Paint the White House black and I’m sure that’s got ‘em terrified
McCain don’t belong in any chair unless he’s paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and just throw ‘em like candy wrap
‘cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents

Get out and vote or the end’ll be near
The world is ready for change because Obama is here
‘cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here, yeah cuz Obama is here



Hillary's not so irrelavant now is she..

You almost feel bad... wait no you don't. For guys like Ludacris who won't find out Obama's going to lose until election day.

[ConservativeMan55]

Obama

[omega4179]

So many people see her stealing, I don’t see it. All heck would break loose no matter how the superdelegates work. Am I the only one with no idea what she’s really up to?
