Comments on: Starting Gate: Not As Close As You Think

Bec67''s story about "walking eagle" is a COMPLETE FABRICATION. The repug slime machine tried the same lie on Kerry. Having NO support for their own candidate must hurt, huh?

These lies are aimed at getting the few remaining complete imbeciles to be afraid of Obama and, therefore, to vote for McSame, or not vote at all. This whole election will be determined by the answer to the following question: just how many American voters are completely retar.ded and parnoid, and have a strong authoritarian complex?

The reason the conservatives are going to lose this election is because they don''t have a horse in the race. McCain is not a conservative, never was never will be. Nope, not going to vote for either. At least then you can''t blame me when Obama really screws things up....

I find it hilarious that right-wingers are laughing these polls off as a replay of 1988 or 2004. I don''t seem to recall 80% of the country saying the nation was on the wrong track in those heady years.
If you want to compare this election to one of the past, compare it to 1996, hence "Mc Dole".
An elderly senator from a staunchly GOP western state, who never did well nationally before; who beat out a weak, divided GOP field'' who ran a dull, inspiriing campaign; getting creamed by a vastly more charismatic Dem.
All McDole has to do is fall of a stage and it is game-set-match.

`Walking Eagle` senator BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York . HE spoke for almost an hour on HIS future plans for increasing every Native American`s present standard of living, should HE one day become the President. He referred to his career as a Senator, how he had signed `YES` for every Indian issue that came to his desk for approval. Although the Senator was vague on the details of his plan, he seemed most enthusiastic about his future ideas for helping his `red sisters and brothers`.

At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the Senator with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle. The proud Senator then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds.

A news reporter later inquired to the group of chiefs of how they came to select the new name had given to the Senator. They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of *** it can no longer fly.

riddle: what''''s the difference between john mccain declaring that the war in iraq is a war "we must win" and barack obama declaring that the war in afghanistan is a war "we must win"?

answer: iraq is easier to spell than afghanistan.

the only change obama is talking about after securing the nomination is a change in the theater of operations. meanwhile, he''''ll keep his promise to bring the troops home - to afghani homes, not their own.

*** I hate mccain! Mccain will let over 12 million illegals get amnesty and take away american jobs! I''d rather have Obama, than amnesty mccain!

TRBundro1277....I like Edwards too. I think he would be perfect as Attorney General and I think he would like that better than VP .

** As AG, would Edwards have a good chance to run for President again? Say 2012 or 2016?

--"Before you go down that %u201Cwhat%u2019s wrong with Obama%u201D road though, there%u2019s evidence out there that suggests Obama may be in much better shape than he looks to be in the national polls."--

What did the State polls show for John Kerry and Michael Dukakis when they were in the leads?

*** Exactly! I don''t care what polls show now. I will not except mccain becoming president. I swallowed alot staying in this country while bush was president, even though I voted for the other guy. HOwever, I will not tolerate Mccain because of that amnesty ***! If mccain become president, i''m leaving the country before illegal mexicans take everything over in our country. I''ll move overseas and help any country that defies the United States of Mexico, which is what the USA will become under Mccain with his over 12 million illegals that would get amnesty!

*** I kinda think that is the position he is aiming for too! I think as AG, he will clean up the mess from Al Gonzolas, mr. I don''t recall! Plus, as AG, he can fly back and forth to North Carolina. I just think that has VP, he would be able to help with the white democrats in Georgia, VA, PA, and NC from what alot of polls suggested. I want anyone other than Bill Richardson to be VP. I don''t hate Richardson because he is hispanic, I hate him because as Governor of New Mexico, he lets all illegals have free college, while poor blacks and poor white like me had to pay the same amount as rich kids! Trust me, Richardson is an empty shirt! As much as I hate Bush/Mccain, I won''t vote for Obama if he takes Richardson as vp, I won''t vote for Mccain either then, i''d probably vote for Barr then! I hope Obama choses anyone other than Richardson!
