CBS Poll: Obama Dominant At Pa. Colleges

CBS News/UWIRE Poll Shows Students Paying Close Attention, Overwhelmingly Favor Ill. Senator

(CBS)  Most students attending four-year colleges and universities in Pennsylvania are enthusiastic about voting in the presidential campaign, according to a poll conducted by CBS News and UWIRE, and Barack Obama is the overwhelming favorite among those who intend to vote in the Democratic primary.

Among Pennsylvania students who will vote or have voted in a Democratic primary in any state, Obama leads Hillary Rodham Clinton 71 percent to 28 percent, and among those who intend to vote in the Pennsylvania primary, Obama leads by a nearly identical margin of 71 percent to 29 percent. Support for Obama is consistent across types and sizes of schools.

Pennsylvania college students also say that John McCain has the experience a president needs and think he would be an effective commander-in-chief.

The level of enthusiasm and interest in the campaign is high and exists among freshman and seniors, men and women and in various public and private institutions across the state.

Nearly nine in 10 students attending four-year colleges and universities in Pennsylvania who registered to vote in any state are paying attention to the 2008 presidential campaign, including 42 percent who are paying a lot of attention. Those numbers aren't as high as voters of all ages nationwide, of whom 60 percent said they were paying a lot of attention in a CBS News poll conducted in March.

Fifty-six percent of registered Pennsylvania college students described themselves as very enthusiastic about voting for president in 2008, while 31 percent said they were somewhat enthusiastic. Only 23 percent agree-even somewhat-that things will be the same no matter who is elected president.

Looking ahead to November, Pennsylvania college students prefer either Democratic candidate over presumptive Republican nominee John McCain. In an Obama/McCain match-up, Obama leads by an overwhelming 71 percent to 29 percent, and if Clinton is the Democratic nominee, she leads McCain by a smaller margin of 58 percent to 42 percent.

UWIRE is a news service powered by student journalists at more than 800 colleges across the country.

TONY PERKINS A MCCAIN SUPPORTER - Tony Perkins is President of the Washington, D.C.-based Family Research Council Perkins addressed the Louisiana chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), America''''s premier white supremacist organization, the successor to the White Citizens Councils, which battled integration in the South. In 1996 Perkins paid former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke $82,500 for his mailing list. SHOULD MCCAIN DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM MR PERKINS?

I have four daughters who are young adults. The 25 year old said she would vote for Obama because he represents "Change". When I asked her what kind of change...she just said "it''s time for something different, I don''t know". The 23 year old would vote for Obama because he is black and it would be cool to vote for the first black president. The 22 year old would vote for McCain because he is older and knows what he is doing and he makes her feel safer. The 19 year old would vote for Obama...because she thinks he is hot. Scary huh?

OBAMA AND REV WRIGHT Supporting Radical ISLAM..NOW WHAT WE DO? THIS IS A FACT,....NOT FICTION or I wouldnt be wasting my time!!!

%u201CI can no more disown him than I can disown the black community,%u201D said Obama. So then it is clear that Obama believes that Wright%u2019s ideas represent the black community and black experience in America when they represent only the radicalized fringe of black America that wants to aid America%u2019s enemies abroad. It is doubtful many black Americans who served proudly in the US military feel the same as Wright on this issue.
%u2028What is more, militant Islamists see a potential to sow internal problems and promote their fascist goals in the US by trying to divide the American black community against the US government. Whereas blacks have been exploited in the past, this is now seen as a way to achieve the goals of expanding the Muslim ummah inside the US from in the Middle East. That is why Libya gives money to Farrakhan and why the ISM and Sabeel work with Reverend Wright whose personal interpretations of Christianity are entrenched in Obama%u2019s mind as the True Word of Christianity. Wright actually visited Mohammar Ghaddafi in Libya with Farrakhan in the past.

You really can''t blame Hillary about her "harrowing experience" at the Tuzla airport. It''s really easy to confuse dodging snipers'' bullets, running for cover with a comedian and and guitar player with receiving a peace poem from a child. A natural mistake any Clinton might make.

Is Hilary Clinton a revengeful person? Is she full of Anger toward her husband for the Stained Blue Dress incident for which he''s been impeached?

This is a petition pledging to cease all contributions to the National Party while retaining the right to donate to the candidates directly.

www.dncboycott.com

We feel that the rules governing the primary election are out of date and causing infighting within the party. This could have been avoided with a few fundemental rule changes to the process.

Please take the time to read the objectives. If you agree, please sign the petition and tell the ones you know. Our first goal is 100,000 signees.

Thanks
Joe

Does she deserve the White House? Isn''t she too angry and revengeful to hold such authority position? She then may ban all contacts between men and women. She could become like the Ayatollahs in Iran. If She were President, she may very well push for such laws...

[trishab4]

Since she admitted that Barrack Obama can win the WhiteHouse why doesn''t she give up and ask for vice-president position, in order to unite the Democratic Party? To heal the wounds?

[trishab4]

Stained Blue Dress Clinton. It doesn''t matter if John McCane wins the presidency, provided Obama does not. What an incredibly dishonered person she can be! She sold her honor by staying home, only for sake of power ...

She (shilary/stained blue dress) was behind the NAFTAGATE that made her win in OHIO. Too bad she got away with it so easily.

DUMB KIDS !!
THEY HAVE PROFESSORS LIKE AYERS , WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ! THEY ARE EASILY FOOLED..NAIVE..

IT%u2019S ACTUALLY HILLARY AGAINST THE USA MUSLIM POPULATION AND SOME DUMB WHITE
PEOPLE.
OBAMA WHOSE REAL NAME IS BARRY SOETORO, WAS PUT UP BY FARRAHKAN AND IS BACKED BY
THE MUSLIM NATION WITH MONEY FROM LIBYA.

EXCERPT FROM THE %u201CJUST SOUND BITES%u201D REV.WRIGHT AND FARRAHKAN TRIP TO LIBYA..

Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, was seeking the United
States
Government%u2019s permission to accept $1 billion from Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi of
Libya. The gift, Mr. Farrakhan said, would be used to mobilize American black
voters and bolster their economic strength. (elect Obama ?)

Their AGENDA: (excerpt)

%u201CWhile visiting that mercurial miscreant Libyan strongman Col. Muammar Qaddafi,
Farrakhan struck a deal which secured millions of dollars from Libya to lobby
for the secession of part of the United States. The goal is the formation of a
separate black nation on the North American Continent replete with a 500,000 man
army and nuclear weapons. %u201C

Hillary: D@mn Bill, Barack drew (30,000) in (PA) yesterday and all I draw is a Measley (400), I''''''''m White, Female, A NY Senator, Former 1st Lady (8 Yrs) and that So & So Gathers (30,000) !!

Hillary: I Thought You, referring to her husband and former President (Bill Clinton)...

I thought You & John Gotti were Teflon, But Barack Obama is Platinum Plus !!!

No Matter what Polls say or MSNBC, CNN, FOX & ABC News say, that I''m breaking Ground against him, He just Stumps My A!! MORE !!

She might as well give it up !!

And Beg Baracks forgiveness and Beg to run as Vice President, shes going to Lose (NC)

Second Thought, Barack should choose John Edwards, instead.


Clinton spoke to a crowd of about 400 supporters a day after Barak Obama drew a crowd of over 30,000 at his rally in Philadelphia.

%u201CUsually the best way to determine who can withstand the incredible pressures of a political campaign, which believe me when you get into the general election and when you get into the White House the stresses and pressures of the general election and the job are overwhelming,%u201D said Clinton,

%u201CAnd we know that we%u2019ve got to have a president ready on day one to take charge, to give us the right direction and to empower the people of America once again.%u201D

Chris Matthews interviewing John McCain 2007
*******************
MATTHEWS: But why isn''t it working? I mean, so few people here, we''ve got a couple of thousand of young people here, and a very, very small percentage have expressed a commitment, even by standing here. Doesn''t that mean we might have to think of the draft again?

MCCAIN: I don''t think we need to think of the draft again because I don''t think it makes sense in a whole variety of ways. But I guarantee you, if these young people felt that this nation was in a crisis and we asked them to serve, virtually every one of them would stand up because I have the greatest confidence in the young people of America.

---------------------------------------

Sounds like the draft IS a possibility under a McCain Presidency. Of course he doesn''t want it, but he clearly doesn''t rule it out. Take note, young ones.

[obama8years]

Heres my analysis on it. People who watch Fox News know everything about Obama, and unless there socialist far left liberals that want a near communist country than there still going to vote for obama. Now usually its moderate and conservatives who watch fox. So you get a portion of the country tunning in. But this time it was a debate that was watched by Millions. And people are curious who is ayers, and why did Obama fumble through the debate. Who is rev wright and why did he evade and not answer the question. So people having internet skills go online and research and what they find horrifies them. SO this is why your seeing the Polls turning. I bet Hillary beats Obama by 10% or more in PA.
