Reagan Democrats = Republicans

Every article that questions Obama''s ability to win because of his race is reinforcing the notion that a person''s race can be a problem with respect to their capacity for success. Any article that is written from this perspective is Constitutionally flawed and should be pulled from any American media.
A person''s race might be a problem in Iraq, but it better not be in The United States. To suggest otherwise is unpatriotic and un-American.

***? Ann Kominar says that she''s opposed to Obama because of his religious beliefs? But, she says she will support the democratic party, and not let them down!!! Doesn''t she realize that the democratic party supports separation of Church and State? Did she see that botched debate hosted by George Stephanopolus where they questioned why Barack wasn''t wearing an American flag... but nobody asked Clinton the same question - She wasn''t wearing one either!!!

I''m patriotic, but I don''t have to prove it by wearing a lapel pin... the simple fact that he is running for President exemplifies his patriotism. As for his FORMER pastor. It wouldn''t matter to me if he was his current pastor. Obama respects and knows the US Constitution through and through and will uphold it with the highest sense of integrity ("Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."). Much more that guy who was endorsed by Bush... the current President who wipes his arse with it.

GO OBAMA!!!!

It takes a limited grasp of American social geography to be redefining Pennsylvania and Ohio as "Appalachian" just because some of the mountain range runs through them. The Sierra Club will tell you that Connecticut, Vermont, and Massachusetts are "Appalachian" by those standards. "Appalachian" is a handle used to describe the old coal country; West Virginia and bare parts of some of the adjoining states. McCain is only going to win a small handful of the old red states in November, and Virginia is certainly not going to be one of them. Clinton is trying to sow more doubt with her mistaken notion that Obama would have to take all the same states that Bill Clinton took, but Clinton''s geography as a white southerner is going to be different than Obama''s so there''s no basis for comparison...
