99% of Republicans will vote for the Republican candidate even if he were "Oliver the Chimp".

I know that I''m secretly hoping for 100 more years in Iraq and 8 more years of regulation free trickle down economics.

A few months ago I thought the democrats would win it all this year, but now I believe McCain will win and a chance the the republicans will retake congress. This Obama has messed up the democrat party. No one wants a president with his baggage. He has lost it with the preacher problem and a few other thugs that are backing him. Our country will be in a bigger mess than it has ever been in if he was elected. Just think there are too many smart Americans to let this happen.

Scorched earth policy?

I think you may be right if he goes up against Obama.

Both Hillary and Obama will have the funding to crush McCain. McCain looks good now because the mud hasn''t come flying his way yet, once they start linking him to Mr. Popular and Mr. Popular''s policies those favorability ratings are going to plummet. Interestingly in the Rasmussen article I posted earlier the percentage of people identifying themselves as Dems is at the highest level ever recorder, this was demonstrated in the earlier primary states where turnout was almost 2:1 in favor of the Democrats. Rasmussen also reports the old record for people identifying themselves as Dems occurred in Dec 2006, approximately a month after the Republicans lost congress. It is going to be ugly for the GOP either way.

Obama is the person who talks like and who acts like the president I want. He happens to be male and black. If he were a she doing/saying that same things I would vote for him.

Personally, race and gender do not matter as much as that they aren''''t used as a tool to get into office... or avoid critisism. Barrack Obama has already played the race card too many times... he''''s damaged goods as far as I am concerned. Hillary still has Bill as access baggage, leaving plain old John McCain as the only genuinely qualified candidate left.

I do not agree with you. tkshe problem is not yet solved that is why there is inequality in every aspect of the blacks life and the work from ting class Americans. that is why there is bitterness and America is lucky to have Barack who is ready to adress it and solve it by narrowing the economic divide by not taking money from the lobbyists so he can be able to implement the policies that narrow the economic and education divide

[greeneyes222]

Here again the sample size for the poll is just too small.

[kstar42]

I think McCain may be our next president.

Zogby Poll: McCain Bests Obama by 5 and Clinton by 6


has no credibility quoting anything Zogby makes you look foolish and dishonest add 17 either way

[concorde5]

Democratic in-fighting is really helping John McCain. I think McCain may be our next president.

[pepperp1]

I actually am looking forward to having a female who is also competent, capable ethical and inspiring and if the Dems are to, weak to guilt ridden, to fight off their fringe anti American Social Justice Liberal Kennedy, Pelosi, Dean Brazile, KOS, Rev Jeremiah%u2019s, Rep Clyburn then hopefully McCain has a female first on his ticket. And the free pass given byt the MSM and Dem Leadership for Obama''s bigoted hateful attacks on her have been disgusting as they stood by and watched participated by default on her assault of spewed biased lies, and Obama%u2019s use of a Liberal social justice male MSM as attack surrogates at Newsweek, MSNBC passing out hate bites every week pimping the cable hates. And what Obama%u2019s spiritual adviser Rev Jeremiah should have said was Hillary had been called everything but a Nig%u2026 including from the haters he is.

RE: John McCain''s win

Source: Rasmussen

As the public image of the Democratic Party shifted from Congress to the Presidential campaign trail, the number of Democrats in the United States has soared. In fact, during the month of February, the Democrat%u2019s numerical advantage over the Republican Party grew to the highest level ever measured by Rasmussen Reports.

In February, the number of Americans who consider themselves to be Democrats jumped to 41.5%, the highest total on record. Just 31.8% consider themselves to be Republicans. The partisan gap%u2014a 9.7 percentage point advantage for the Democrats%u2014is by far the largest it has ever been. The previous high was a 6.9 point edge for the Democrats in December 2006. Rasmussen Reports tracks this information based upon telephone interviews with approximately 15,000 adults per month and has been doing so since November 2002.

[biabrams]

This is a misleading conclusion. The difference is not, in my opinion, due to Hillary''s gender. Obama has personal characteristics that help to minimize opposition to his candidacy. Hillary is despised by many voters, Democrat and Republican, extending back into the Clinton presidency. I think she faces more obstacles partly because of her husband''s legacy of lying, cheating, etc and partly because folks don''t like her. I would be happy to vote for a woman, I would love for the USA to have a female president. Actually, I would probably love that more than a black president. But, I still think Obama has leadership and speaking skills that resonate with a large audience in this country. Obama got an easier pass in the media for awhile because he is more magnanimous, more charismatic; he exudes qualities that people like. So, I actually do not think race or gender are the most significant factors. I think Obama''s attractive qualities and skills have made it more difficult for Hillary; she has been out-shined by Barack. Sexism has been present in some commentators remarks, but I think the overall electorate is responding to the new and inspiring prospects of Obama as president.

Bull if I sat in a church where white supremacy was preached churches for 20 years what would you think of me, rightly. Silly discussion and this Progressive-Liberal need to sanitize and to neutralize Rev Jeremiah%u2019s hate and not acknowledge the victimization of his own community his words is a disservice to us all, hate is hate and he is attacking his own tearing them down with hopelessness, frightening his congregations with lies and fear. He is preaching to young blacks that we non Blacks are the US of KKK A who invented AIDS to kill their mothers them, for gods sakes its loaded hate indoctrination against white people. These children are sitting next to non whites and they are loaded with hate fear from their Minister and the other child has no clue.

This is not ok, these are dangers for our communities and yes its terror on some level and my guess people have acted out this hate this fear and innocents have been harmed.



Just Imagine if Hillary Clinton would have attended a white supremacy church what would the Press be doing to her right now would she even be in the race and the Boy Progressive Liberal hate women Bolger foaming spittle I%u2019m sure.


Here is the thing women Dems got Obama number before the rest of us and new and exposed and attacked the Press they will not surrender their Party to a fringe hate anti community cult in the base it wont happen so help them we can not have two Party governed by their Fringes.

Obama gives new meaning to Grandma got run over by a reindeer.

[pepperwood2]

Another Bias Spin For Our Great White Hope.

Well Let''s see how fast the Clinton Campaign will release Bill & Her 2007 Income Statement.

Clinton, who%u2019s apparently very familiar with the coverage she gets, said she was very excited about the release.

[neonink]

Elizabeth was a pretty tough old queen too.

[sagitarius5]

Well, we are ready for a female President? if we are not that means we are late in history England has three greath queens, IsabelI, Victoria & Isabel II, also Margareth Tatcher the Iron Lady. Is the racist or *** miths stronger than the always revolutionary vision in this Continent, we create the free & equal political concept, the land of freedom!!!

The question should be who is most presidential - who has shown themselves to be the most honest, forthright, and willing to discuss issues with the american public - hands down that is Barack Obama. When Hillarys'' campaign created issues for her HE stepped forward and defused the issue twice in order to get back to talking about US issues - not her, she allows similar attacks on Obama ro go without action as it might help her in her failing campaign. Hillary has so many skeletons in her closet it would be easy (and will be by Rebuplicans) to dispatch her in short order - but the Obama campaign has not gone there - they have kept this race about US issues, not personal issues. The Clinton campaign loves to bring up personal issues - just another example that the Clintons are old gaurd and the whole election is about driving down an opponent to a level below yours so you can win - Obama believes you do what''s right to rise above your opponent. Time for change, ABSOLUTELY - let''''s hope the US public doesn''t crumble under the negativity of the Clintons, but embraces the positivness of Obama.
