Voters Say Woman Candidate Faces Slightly Bigger Barriers To Presidency Than A Black Candidate

[goldesprit]

"Voters are...slightly...more likely to say..."
"1,067 adults nationwide interviewed by telephone..." (out of 400 million!!)
"A small oversample of African Americans was also conducted for this poll..."

And, oh, by the way, heres a word from our sponsor whos giving us millions of dollars to make ****** up so you''ll buy stuff.

[abdoul_pasha]

They`ll be empowered in the kitchen

[pepperp1]

HERE WHY THIS IS WOMEN DIS Empowering them selves they are 54 Percent of the electorate, FEMALE, that they cant empower their own GENDER is silly.....they keep giving it away to People like the Rev Jeremiah hate bigotry and suspicion.

If they choose they can be the power in this country TODAY. They would actually instead vote for someone who refers to them as moody, nagging, devise, and secretive in other words a ******* with PMS they deserve what they get.

and only beat, s*x and belly dances!

[infidel_us]

How would a cross gender, multi-racial candidate do? What a country!! :)

Good News BILL for HILLARY from Penna.

As a voting Democrat from the old school of Bill & Hillary Clinton, Mondale, Ferarro. I''m happy to learn that Governor Rendell has come out for Hillary in our GRRREAT State of Pa.

The old guard is alive & well here. Obama is out of line! Hillary is the victim & most of the Women that have been surveyed would agree with me.

Pa, NY,OH, NJ, & MA are superdelegate states. Rendell was president of the DNC, I''m sure he knows the ropes. We don''t understand this but it sounds like a pretty slick trick.

Our Great White Hope is in Hillary! The Democrat rednecks are determined to make the difference here. CBS poll shows that we are not GENDER or RACE Biased here in Pa. Go Hillary!

ObombA1.....Could you please explain why you believe Barak Obama is a racist? Please provide examples of what he has said to lead you to belive this.

[goldesprit]

Barak thinks we MUST vote for him if we are democrats.

HE is making what should be a more Presidential Election centered campaign into a more race related one--and then he assists CNN in pointing the finger at how "racist" ALL OTHERS are.

Obama may not be fit for Vice President--as he aluded to recently.

I am voting for Clinton.

[goldesprit]

"NOTE: A small oversample of African Americans was also conducted for this poll..."

P.S. Any momentary popularity of any political subject may be entirely goofy in application by CBS.

DUH.

[robstrck]

All the talk earlier this year about the division in the Republican party and look at the Democrats. Republicans got stuck with McCain (the candidate chosen by the media, endorsed by the New York Times) but we will stand behind him and vote for him.

[robstrck]

Two junior senators running for the office of President. And the Democrats are fighting over whether to vote for a woman or a black man. All this division in your party. And you are calling for unity?

[tigerjcs]

The DNC fails to back Hillary, the woman candidate! You have shown such an unfair treatment of Hillary over Obama. There is no way as a proud American that I will vote for a candidate that is anti American. I will vote for McCain over Obama. I am a proud Ameircan Democratic voter.

He''''s not just a talker. He''''s a doer.
Pass it on....It''''s impressive

Obama "impressive" Hah, only for people who are naive and believe everything without researching/vetting:

1. This misleading blog piece has been proliferated throughout the internet. First of all, it compares apples to oranges. It attempts to understate Clinton%u2019s accomplishments by citing the number of bills she authored and passed into law. And then it attempts to over-inflate Obama%u2019s record by citing the total number of bills he sponsored (BOTH in state and federal congress).
If you look up the information for yourself (http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/110search.html) you can compare apples to apples:
- In the 109th Congress Obama sponsored 152 bills (26 were signed into law) and co-sponsored 427 (12 were signed into law). Clinton sponsored 177 (21 were signed into law) and co-sponsored 720 (19 were signed into law).
- In the 110th Congress Obama sponsored 113 (0 signed into law) and co-sponsored 375 (3 signed into law). Clinton sponsored 150 (0 signed into law) and co-sponsored 477 (4 signed into law).
- Grand Total Authored - Clinton 327 sponsored / 1197 co-sponsored vs. Obama 265 sponsored / 802 co-sponsored
- Grand Total Passed %u2013 Clinton 44 vs. Obama 41
THE FACT - During the time that Obama and Clinton were in Senate together, Clinton authored 23% more bills and co-sponsored 49% more bills. Clinton

Hillary has destroyed the democratic party. Hillary cannot win on the primary/caucus delegate count, so she is playing scorched earth. Although this is the worst perior for Obama after everything has been thrown at him, he still beats Hillary. For now, McCain is only slightly ahead of him. However, he beats Hillary by more than what he beats Obama according to the most recent poll. So, Hillary needs to drop out and let Obama move forward to explain his agenda.

liny

OH PLEASE

Hillary is 50/50 with Obama, you ninny...she has beaten him in all of the major states, and people like you, and obama supporters telling me that 3,000 people in Wyoming count more than 3 million in California, are NUTS.

I will not have a guy who keeps close acquaintances with people like Wright and Farrakhan be PRESIDENT.

And MANY others feel that way.

Obama is a time bomb - it happens to those raised in a hateful environment. O admitted his White Granny Threw racial slurs around and in front of him -he paid her back and married a black militant and embraced a black militant church. That is the cause for the anger he possess, and is artfully hiding. He is a great study for psych101

[sierra20071]

Xzonz - Obama and everyone else in the senate have passed, submitted, or voted for these same issues. hee, hee, copy and pasting from O''s website is just like O, less than honorable.

[liny516]

For those who say that Obama should have waited 8 years, you obviously are government hacks. In the real world, those with the best ideas and abilities move up the ladder the fastest. Only in government are the truly qualified passed over because someone more senior is up for the job.

Hillary has destroyed the democratic party. Hillary cannot win on the primary/caucus delegate count, so she is playing scorched earth.

For those democratics who support Obama, call the DNC and the uncommitted delegates and tell them to tell Billary that they are destroying the party with their power grabbing selfishness. Do you really want the Lincoln bedroom up for sale and the Chinese back in the white house getting more miltary secrets?

[xzonz]

ow, I would post those of Obama, but the list is too substantive, so I''ll mainly categorize his contributions.
During the first - 8 - eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced
233 regarding healthcare reform
125 on poverty and public assistance
112 crime fighting bills
97 economic bills
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills
21 ethics reform bills
15 gun control
6 veterans affairs and many othersC/B&am p;iq uest;B=
His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427.
These included
**The Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 - became law,
**The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, - became law,
**The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,
**The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, - became law,
**The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.
In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record according to some who would prefer that this comparison not be made public. He''s not just a talker. He''s a doer.

Pass it on....It''s impressive
Have a GREAT DAY

elicatlover - Because of your comment, I sent the following e-mail to the DNC:

I am writing this note to remind the DNC that the women vote is still out there and it does matter. I am sick and tired of the DNC practically drooling over Obama and slighting Hillary. The DNC does all it can to save, apologize, and support Obama and are throwing Hillary under the bus. I will not support Obama in the general election and I was a loyal Democrat! I won''t contribute to the DNC because of the biased behavior leaning toward Obama and the hellish treatment of Hillary, Florida, and Michigan. I will only contribute to Hillary''s campaign directly and if she loses, I may have to hold my nose and vote for John McCain! Thank you for allowing me to rant.
