I wonder at times if those preachers are really Obama supporters. The timing of their comments seems suspect to me!

They have met the true enemy, but they blind to the realization it is themselves.

I live and work in an intensely liberal environment and they still don't SEE the problem. They are working very, very hard to make this about racial tension and discrimination by the white voter. They have been so goaded by the guilt patrols that they don't understand the highly intellectual moral values they expound are the rantings of heretics and pharisees.

Hence they will work with both of these candidates to create the Hillary-Obama ticket. Hillary will be forced to take Obama as a Veep. That keeps them both in the public eye for the election.

My wife’s whole family is blue collar Dems. Never voted for a Republican in their lives. They say they’re voting McCain this time. I know they aren’t alone

So they vote for McCain, is he really not a Democrat with an R after his name? Some choice we have this go round.

John McCain needs to get ahold of that video for a political ad and play it night & day in EVERY swing state from now until November!

They will burn if McCain wins. Some people like to riot.
Qualifications?

Riot, murder, arson, and riot.

You said riot twice.

I like riot.

While I don’t want to see all these urban areas burn, I would dearly love to see a serious dilution of their power and influence. In essence to show America and the rest of the world the constituency from which these areas is based. They are the source of all the power grabbing, controlism, and corruption of the highest order. I honestly don’t see the value in them.

I always thought of him as a liberal pet. You know, a ‘safe’ black male so the little lefty princes and princesses could see a member of the disenfranchised tribe. Maybe give him old tennis shirts, invite him home on weekends to meet the lefty parents.

Even his mom was a looking down, and being with the ‘third world’ types. Ditto his commie grandparents.

Basically, he's a lefty house negro.
He just dumped his field negro church for the approval of whites.

I agree. I just cannot count that witch out until it's formally declared.

Even then she could run as a third party candidate. She would lay waste to the entire DemocRAT establishment if she though she could win.

Yes, because she was wobbling and about to get knocked out, at which point the fight is over.

In order for the fight to continue, Rush tried to prop her up so she can stay in the ring a few more rounds. Rush would have done the same thing for Obama had Hillary been ahead and Obama wobbling.

The longer this fight continues, the more money both sides spend against each other, the more bitter the supporters on both sids become about the process, the harder it becomes for the eventual winner to take on McCain in Nov.

Good map. But I think the northeast states of Conn., N.Y., Pa. and Ohio are in play.

Obama is just not going toplay well there.

I have chronicled for about 2 months on various threads how 14 white democrats I have spoken to in CT have said they will either vote for McCain (11) or not vote at all (3). They vary in age from 28 to 79. They include a union machinist, a devout Catholic widow, and a Democrat Alderman. The most oft-cited reason is "did you know he is a Muslim?" One cited Nostradamus and the pic of Obama's turban as their reason. Another didn't want Farakkhan or Sharpton in the White House (I am pretty sure Al has been there a few times already). These are all Northeast Democrats in a state Obama carried. Not a single one will vote for him on Nov. 4.

Keep hope alive!

Hussein just is not a man yet, he has some more baking to do before he can come out of the oven.

That's what I've been saying. Give him twenty years to develop some wisdom and maturity, and maybe then he'll be ready for prime time. Or not. If he continues to associate with the likes of William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Michael Pfleger and Louis Farakkhan, twenty years will only make him older and more bitter.

To: Question Liberal Authority
This "voter turnout" argument is a myth as far as what it portends for the Dims.

Since the current primary-dominated era of presidential nominations began in 1972, more primary votes have been cast in the Democratic than the Republican contests in all but two elections, 1996 and 2000. Part of this is due to the lingering Democratic advantage in party registration in much of the country, as well as the Democrats' penchant for high gusto nominating contests.

You seem to believe the polling and obvious hype of the media, a media firmly in the pocket of Hussein. The many problems with his Church, his wife’s big mouth and his really unbelievable foreign policy gaffes will destroy him in the end, McCain is wiping up the floor with Hussein from the stand point of national security.

What some here have said about their friends and neighbors, who are Democrats not voting for Hussein, may be anecdotal but it is becoming wide spread. I live in NJ, as liberal a State as you will find with only few exceptions. I also have spoken to friends who feel the same way. They are not McCaniacs by any means but they do not care for or trust Hussein. While not many have come right out and said they would vote for McCain, the fact they haven’t said they would vote for Hussein and express such doubts about his lack of experience and the outrageous rhetoric he is now associated with, makes me believe many of these people will NOT vote for the lib even if it means they stay home.

There is so much material the Rep can use against Hussein, his own words and those of Clinton, that he will spend all of his time on defense in the general. In contrast, McCain is a known entity and there is nothing much to be revealed about him unless the libs are holding something from 30 years ago that was never known, which I doubt.
