Now you will see Hillary and company fight back like never before. They will go out and try to destroy Obama.
They may succeed.

I can only go by what is published. He did spend time studying the Quran.

As a very young person, I attended “vacation bible school” and it had a profound impact on my life many years later. Mayhap, Obama’s early childhood indoctrination into Islam’s version of “vacation Quran school” has had the same impact. I doubt I want to find out.

Well, watching Clinton go down is what, a 17 year prayer?

Poor choice of words. Besides, I thought Monica was 22 or 24. ;-)

Cheers!

Its amazing that our country would even consider an unknown neophyte named Hussien as CIC while we are at war with islamists.

Yeah true. I was actually refering to the both of them, not to gain power in this nation. I’ve seen her as a demon seed for a very long time.

I expected Nebraska. Obama has swept the Midwest so far (MN, IL, MO, ND) and now has added KS and NE. I’m not counting MI since he wasn’t on the ballot. I expect him to win WI, IN, OH, and SD for a complete sweep. Kind of ironic since Hillary is from here originally...

These are mostly angry white men voting against Hillary.

The updated delegate count is still 542-497 in Hillary's favor. That isn't even counting the super delegates who will break for her at least 2-1. She's also drawn about 500,000 more primary voters than Obama.

A better yardstick is to see who has won the swing states. So far,

Obama has only won Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri

Clinton has won Nevada, New Mexico, Florida, New Hampshire and Michigan-- although Michigan is hard to count since she was the only one on the ballot besides Dennis Kuchinich.

The swing states to be decided are Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Wisconsin, Oregon and Maine.

I predict the nomination will be decided in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Both states are large enough to attract a large number of voters and diverse enough to negate any large angry white male effect. Look at the margins Hillary racked up in California on Super Tuesday. That's a pretty steep hill for Obama to climb.

But the witch is no longer a shoo-in.

That is a very powerful statement Scarchin. It is always a big problem when you are able to listen to your opponent and do not dislike him even if you disagree with 95% of what he is saying.

The man is the most powerful speaker and communicator since Reagan.

This is good news. The Huckabee showing should tell McCain that we do not support his left-wing position on the global warming scam (Al Gore being the biggest snake oil salesman in the world, with Schwarzenegger and McCain being among his dupes).

Also, the longer the Democrat primary drags out, the more damage Clinton and Obama will do to each other. Hurrah!

Islamic terrorists hate Obama because he did not follow his father islamic religion. For them he is an Apostate which is worse than an Infidel.

Tomorrow I will post a thread from the largest terrorist forum on the internet directed against Obama, they said very hateful and racist stuff against him.
