Of course this is satire!

"...leaders of all the major unions came together at a rally at the Denver Convention Center to unveil the most massive and sophisticated electoral campaign that labor has ever waged. In aggregate, it looks as though the unions will spend $300 million to $400 million[to elect Obama] by November on the campaign."

Oh, my! And here comes Governor Palin, and her husband is a member of the steel workers union. They seem like any other middle-class family (except for the moose stew).

That must really pee-ohh the Union bosses, what with their 300-400 million dollar propaganda program now in jeopardy, don’t you think?

[Morgan in Denver]

This should be interesting since Todd and Sarah Palin are union workers: steelworkers union. Sarah Palin can walk the talk. Obama spouts “just words” as he works to fool voters.

“The second choice of the Nader voters in his survey is John McCain.”

Weird.

Something tells me the Democrats don’t think Michigan will be that difficult.

I thought it was an article on Jr’s momma ?

“The very voters he needs to win this election, the white working class”

Well shucks and golly gee, it’s nearly September and it’s suddenly dawned on someone that Mr. Obama *needs* the votes of those bitter, racist, gun-toten’, Bible-clinging, people that he’s repeatedly *personally* insulted? ;)

oops!

If we could isolate a single incident in the Obama campaign that we could identify as the "point of failure" this election, it would have to be his "Reverend Wright" fiasco.

That was the moment that Obama crossed over from being "above and beyond race" to being revealed as "just another socialist radical race-baiter".

This was where the alienation of the white vote began. His refusal to denounce Wright only dug the hole he was in deeper.

Then came a series of demeaning comments on white culture. His caustic dismissal of small town residents, "typical white people" and other belittling commentary made him appear more and more to be an elitist snob.

In response to the growing view of Obama as a complete and total fraud, he has done nothing to support the message of "Hope and Unity" his campaign constantly promotes. His efforts seem to only further divide constituencies against each other and mostly against him.

At this point, Obama seems to be sustained only by the support of a Soros-controlled media conspiracy. I can't seem to find anyone else who really openly supports the guy.

I don't see the trend improving any in the near future, either. We saw the trending towards the McCain campaign prior to the DNC convention. McCain's recent masterstroke of including Palin on the ticket has had the effect of consolidating both his conservative base along with alienated democrats who aren't inspired by a faltering Obama campaign. We'll know if a few days if that move has completely snuffed out any potential convention bump the Obama camp was expecting.

If the current situation isn't handled competently by the Obama camp soon, I think all indications point to a massive electoral blowout of humiliating proportions come November.

Here's to hoping!

Anyway, had to rant. Cheers!

One of the keenest students of these all-important swing voters is Stan Greenberg, Bill Clinton's pollster in 1992 and the acknowledged authority on Michigan's Macomb County, a white working-class suburb of Detroit. In the mid-'80s, Greenberg began polling and doing focus groups in Macomb, a bastion of autoworkers that had delivered huge majorities for John Kennedy in 1960 -- and for Ronald Reagan in 1984. He found that Macomb residents believed the Democratic Party was interested in helping only African Americans, including their neighbors in Detroit, whom they regarded with fear and loathing. Greenberg helped Clinton reorient the Democratic message to be more class-based, a key element in Clinton's '92 victory.

There are some of here in Macomb who would never vote for a Rat. The notion that the Rats only care about the blacks in Detroit is funny. Sure they care, they care about exploiting them, because they set themselves up to be exploited.

[Carley]

Not that Detroit’s mayor has anything to do with the loathing of white Michiganders.

[dforest]

Obama is not going to get many of the white working class voters, especially after they saw that Jeremiah Wright videos.

My Bro in law is one of these people, a union guy. He and many of his buddies say they will not vote for Barry under any circumstances.

They also think he is a little pansy ass.

[dirtboy]

The very voters he needs to win this election, the white working class that has been descending into post-industrial post-prosperity for a couple of decades and the past eight years in particular, are angry. American finance and corporations have abandoned them for cheaper climes, and they blame the elites of both parties for their woes. Obama's challenge is to become a tribune for some of that anger without looking like an angry black man.

Black has nothing to do with Obama's problems here. Obama rose through politics by becoming part of the Chicago machine. He votes in lockstep with the part.

He chose a running mate who pushed a bill that favored the large credit-card issuers in his home state.

Compare that to McCcain and Palin, who have bucked their own party many times. And especially Palin, who took on the corrupt Alaska GOP ... and won, and also drove through ethics reform and also ended giveaways for pipeline projects.

Yeah Buddy !!!!! You can bet this God fearing boy who is clinging to his gun and bible , and suffers from antipathy toward people unlike him will be a REAL HARD SELL !!!

[Oldpuppymax]

TRANSLATION: The Obamessiah has to figure out a way to con those damn white racists into voting for him.

[kabar]

Obama [and McCain] support amnesty and the continuing importation of immigrants who take American jobs and depress wages. Unskilled blacks are especially affected, which is why they have a current unemployment rate of 9.7%.
