Democrats in trouble now !

[THE KOD]

From CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider


First Presbyterian Church in St. Albans, West Virginia.
(CNN) ? The West Virginia exit polls have some sobering news for the Democratic Party.

As has been the case in previous states, a significant amount of both candidates' supporters said they aren't willing to vote for the other candidate in November.

Among Obama supporters, just 51 percent of West Virginia Democrats say they will vote for Clinton if she is the nominee. John McCain would get close to a third of Obama's supporters, and 14 percent said they wouldn't vote at all.

But an even smaller number of Clinton's supporters would back Obama: just 36 percent say that they would vote for the Illinois senator. About the same amount, 35 percent, say they would support McCain and 29 percent say they wouldn't vote or would vote for someone else.

It looks like if Obama becomes the nominee, he's going to have quite a struggle with John McCain to carry West Virginia for the Democrats.

............................................................

This is such a crock of crappola.

The reason people are answering exit polls like this is that Hillary is still in the race.

Once she is gone , Obama and McCain will be having debates and going head to head. People will forget all about this vindictivness.

Geez Louise

Politics is a dirty business.

 

[THE KOD]

CNN) ? Texas pastor John Hagee ? whose endorsement has proven problematic for John McCain's presidential campaign ? will meet with Catholic League President Bill Donahue this week, CNN has learned.

Hagee apologized Tuesday for controversial remarks that drew fire from Catholic activists.:SIB

In a statement posted on the Catholic League's Web site, Hagee said that "contructive dialogue" with Catholics has given him an "improved understanding" of the church's history.

"I got what I wanted," Donahue, who had refused requests from Hagee to meet until a public apology was issued, told CNN. "I wasn't interested in sweet talk but rather a real apology, and that's what this is."

Donahue also confirmed that Hagee met with Catholic activists last Friday in Washington, D.C.

The Democratic National Committee said Tuesday that McCain should weigh in on Hagee's other headline-grabbing statements.

??Unless John McCain?s idea of being a new kind of Republican includes cozying up to radicals who compare women to dogs, hold racially insensitive fundraisers and call one of the worst natural disasters in our country?s history God?s punishment, he should renounce John Hagee?s endorsement immediately," said DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney. "Given John McCain?s history of putting political calculations ahead of his principles, we?re not holding our breath.? :142smilie :nono:

UPDATE: McCain told reporters Tuesday afternoon that he had not been involved in arranging the apology, but called Hagee's letter "helpful," and related it to his own history of unlikely reconciliation:SIB :142smilie :SIB

Holy chit Johnny , its not cool to upset catholiics.

I wonder if I could find a picture of McCain hugging Hager.

The Truth About John McCain

This comes to us from our good pal Janet in Manhattan...

1. John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved,"
yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.

2. According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on
Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain
"will make Cheney look like Gandhi."

3. His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain
voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President
Bush for vetoing that ban.

4. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support
Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."

5. The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in
Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill
last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.

6. He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires.
The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes!
Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing
foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their
vacations.

7. Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to
be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his
being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic.
He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

8. McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his
campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government
watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money
for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.

9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in
recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod
Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which
he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of
right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's
punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the
Antichrist" and a "false cult."

10. He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0 (yes,
zero)from the League of Conservation Voters last year.

They say these things now, but when it comes down to it at election time I would fully expect the Dems to rally around whomever gets the nomination to take down the 'evil GOP'

it shows the old guard would still be entrenched
with favors, money, political corruptness.

I tend to agree with this. Current exit polls are probably very misleading.

Lets go back to 2/5/08 @ 2139hrs

Tonight I hoped than Mitt Romney would have a better showing. This country is in big trouble if Hillary, Obama or McCain wins the presidency.

What happened to all the Romney ball-lickin'? I was under the impression that the Mormon Max Headroom was the second coming?

:0corn

 

[smurphy]

What say you, Hedgehog? What happened in the course of days that made you turn a 180 on McCain?

 

[redsfann]

the Mormon Max Headroom

met one of the owners of Dirty John's grocery a few weeks back; he is the beer buyer for them--he promised he'd set aside a few of the limited brews that they get their hands on for me..:00hour
