Political Touts Give A Play
- Thread starter IntenseOperator
- Start date
Miscalculation on primary was previously stated--Given that Dems get 90% of vote had no idea racial bias would give one Dem candidate 90% doubling their effectiveness in primary--took a couple states to factor that trend that panned out 100%.
Back to original point of historians predictions--
History is not relative--Never has there been a candidate with backround/name with so little experience running on promises/words.
Not saying he can't win --but just no history on this type of match-up.
Depends what else comes out--his 1/2 brothers statement and photo's should be hitting today.
Is he going to denounce his brother next-then who?
Thought for today--
Personality opens doors--but only character can keep them open
a concern on history for Obama backers would be that historically once a candidate is decided in long campaign they generally get huge boost in national polls--not the case with O as he barily moved.
The independents will decide election--
While not big on polls accuracy other than than exit polls--this does not bode well for Obama--
Obama holding on to small lead over McCain: poll Tue Jun 17, 1:22 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama opens the general election campaign with a narrow lead over Republican John McCain but the two score near even among independent voters, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
According to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, Obama leads McCain by 48 percent to 42 percent among all adults, while McCain has picked up support from independents who could be key to deciding the November election.
Independents see McCain, an Arizona senator, as more credible on fighting terrorism and are split evenly on who is the stronger leader and better on the Iraq war, the Post reported.
McCain has a 14-point lead over Obama, an Illinois senator, on the issue of dealing with terrorism and a narrow edge on who is best equipped to handle international affairs, the poll found.
On Iraq, 47 percent of all respondents said they trust McCain more and 46 percent said they have faith in Obama.
Independents were 45 percent for McCain to 43 percent for Obama on the question of Iraq, according to the poll.
Experience appears to be Obama's clearest weakness, the newspaper said. The poll found that just 50 percent of Americans said Obama has the necessary experience to be president, almost unchanged since early March.
Fifty-six percent said McCain was a safe choice, while 52 percent said that of Obama.
The two candidates were evenly matched on the question of who is the stronger leader, with 46 percent of respondents rating each as top.
McCain was in a far weaker position on domestic issues with Obama leading by 16 points on the economy, which continues to top the list of the campaign's most important issues, the Post reported.
The poll of 1,125 adults was conducted by telephone on June 12-15 and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.

"""even if black america is on obamas side @ the tune of 90 + % and they should be... who else should they vote for ? """
obviously hillary clinton...she and bill have an excellent track record(if you guys are to believed over the last decade and a half..or was that just b.s.?)... and an excellent and proven track record regarding civil rights issues...
but obviously white guilt and identity politics trumps using your head in liberal circles....no surprise there...
robert...there are around 5 months to go,but right now,i don`t believe so....mccain and i have serious platform differences...and i`m not even sure the guy would nominate conservative justices to the court....
if i vote,it will be a "hold your nose and vote "against" obama "vote ......
i can honestly say(and i never thought prior to this election,that i`d say this)that i would have seriously considered hillary clinton vs mccain......
i may have to vote mccain based on the two pathetic supreme court decisions rendered in the last week that go against all precedent previously set...
mccain can do no worse that these jokers....obama could do much worse...
thanks for allowing me to make an objective observation or two in your liberal echo chamber...

Barack Obama was a member of a Racist church, why he's excused from that fact is just Bullsh#t, why was he given a pass that a white man wouldn't get? Racism is bad for everyone.

If Reb's want to win a heck of a lot more better show up then they did in primeres. After all over 20% of Reb's say no to John. And with woman breaking big for Obama he has great chance. And sure as hell knows how to raise money. And you can feal some of John's desperation begging for these town hall mtg. He knows he's behind and needs attention.
Wouldn't call this desperation as they been trying to do this for decades--would just call knowing their base--
A: Obama says Virginia in play

B:Ballot Bandits
Virginia Democratic Governor Tim Kaine is teaming up with groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the NAACP to try to add thousands of nonviolent offenders to voting rolls in time for the November election. Under Virginia's constitution, people convicted of a felony lose their right to vote for life. But the governor can restore those rights if the felon has a clean record for three years.
BobbyBlue and Scott=Atlanta, that link works, that man is Full of HATE, I wonder why he doesn't have a RANT about Barack Obama going to a RACIST church for 20 years, or maybe he's just a HYPOCRITE.
So who says this church has been racist for 20 years. Who sat there for 20 years every Sunday. Poor excuse to not vote for some one where he prays.
Felons are mention. There are not enough of them that can vote to change any election. If Reb's get beat and use that for excuse. They are doomed for not knowing real reason.
