Democratic Base Fissures

Although attention has been focused on McCain's problems with the GOP base, there are indications that some Democrats might defect if Obama is the party's nominee. Overall, 20% of white Democratic voters say they would vote for McCain if Obama is the Democratic nominee. That is twice the percentage of white Democrats who say they would support McCain in a Clinton-McCain matchup. Older Democrats (ages 65 and older), lower-income and less educated Democrats also would support McCain at higher levels if Obama rather than Clinton is the party's nominee.

“But every time I start thinking that I will ‘suck it up’ and vote for McCain he does or says something new to Make me REALLY angry all over againe”

Same here. A couple nights ago, I read his daughter’s blog and I started to feel a little, I mean little, better about McCain and then his cowering to the media about Obama blew it all to hell again. While reading the blog, I was comparing the families of the candidates that I would rather see in the Whitehouse. I’m grasping for anything that would make me feel less disgusted about having McCain as our candidate.

If its from PU then those numbers are much higher. People are beginning to understand the deception of the Obamination and may be having thoughts of $7 a gallon gasoline, greatly increased incompetence, 20 something % prime rate and foreign policy of weakness and naivete.

"They have forgotten the the white male. You remember him? The guy that works for a living and pays taxes so everyone can enjoys the entitlements that allow them to sit on their ass and do nothing. Yup, thats the one. The angry white males are the ones who will decide this election, not the women or minorities."

Seriously, what reason would a white male who works for a living and pays income tax have to vote for a democrat? The dems offer nothing, and are in fact a threat to my livelihood, family and safety.

That the National Journal found Obama’s 2007 Senate Voting record to be the MOST LIBERAL OF ALL U. S. SENATORS might also add a reason why many conservative Democrats will not vote for Obama

Let us contemplate, my friends, the state of the left is they manage to lose this time, with every conceivable current running their way...

[fatima]

I don’t go over there.Why didn’t they pick somebody else?Hillary has Bill hanging around her neck.Obama has just begun to open his mouth and he has put his foot in it.I just don’t get it.Do they want to lose.

[M-cubed]

You and I know Obama is to the left of Stalin,<<<

lol ...reminds me of the time one of my Dumbocrat friends introduced me as.... a good guy...but politically...slightly to the right of Attila the Hun

[CZB]

McCain will condemn this.

He’ll send Lindsey Graham out to call the white Dems voting for himself racists.

[fatima]

Norman Bates,I never got a chance to answer you in the other thread.You gave me an answer-that was good.:)

[sitetest]

That’s the 20% of Democrats who will actually admit to being racists.

I don’t go over there.Why didn’t they pick somebody else?

Given the problems with picking a suitable Republican nominee, we should feel very fortunate that we will win thanks to a split in the Democratic party.

[ozzymandus]

Good ol’ union goon racist will ride to the rescue of the Republicans, even if the ‘pubs won’t rescue themselves.

[combat_boots]

Well blow me down.

Rednex redux.

[CZB]

(For the record, even though I can’t support McCain, I sure as heck won’t be voting for the hard-core socialist Obama. But there are a bunch of people who will, out of protest.)

---

Look, if Obama spoke nicely to us, kept his thumb out of our eye and gave us one itty bitty thing like Estrada or Janice Rogers Brown on the Supreme Court, face it, we’d form Conservatives for Obama and STICK IT to McCain.

[M-cubed]

She paid $2500 dollars just to eat at a dinner where Obama spoke <<<

..Did they serve Fried Chicken or watermelon by any chance??...u might want to ask her...*W*

[combat_boots]

The DUmp.

Cherce. (Choice with a Spencer Tracy accent).

Mm. That went down like butta.

[combat_boots]

Really?

His name IS Barack Hussein Obama? Sure that isn’t Barry He’s ain’t Obamassa?

[combat_boots]

“Attila the Hun”

I always heard it was to the right of John Birch.
