Out and Down

Hey guys!!! GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!

From today's Gallup: "Barack Obama is enjoying a modest bump in support following Hillary Clinton's exit from the presidential race. The latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update finds Obama leading Republican John McCain, 48% to 42%, among registered voters nationwide.
Obama has consistently held a lead of five to seven percentage points each night since it was reported that Hillary Clinton intended to suspend her campaign. These represent Obama's strongest showing versus McCain to date in Gallup Poll Daily tracking of registered voters' presidential election preferences."

Looks like the Dems are coming together!!!

Oh wait....there's more........ Obama leads McGremlin by 5 points in the Rasmussen Poll.

Oh happy days!!!!!!!!!!

ok guys & gals seriously I am a bitt slow on all of this political stuff. who do you think Obama & Mcain will choose as running mates. Cause niether one of them realy grabs my attention

This is a general comment to a number of posters: Will you please take the CAP LOCK off your keyboard. I can't even read posts in all caps -- it's just too difficult. You people may have something interesting to say. But I'll never know it unless you stop SHOUTING, please.

She was robbed - plain and simple. When no one got to the magical delegate figure it was a stalemate situation. So then it is up to the Superdelegates to decide on the best candidate. If I recall they went on record as saying they would be voting based on the will of the people. If so, the will of the people can only be ascertained on a state by state basis since each state is an independent unit wiith their own concerns (as evidenced by presence of the Electoral College). So to my mind all the Superdelegates attached to a state that voted for Hillary should be in her corner. That is the only fair way in my mind to ascertain the best nominee in November. I am assuming here that the Democrats wanted to win the White House.

For the Superdelagtes to arbitrarily tack their votes to Obama (as if all states have an equal voice in The Electoral College) is downright dishonest. Their actions only confirm to me that they wanted the nominee to be Obama all along. And for what? Why elevate a man who stood by and never lifted a finger to deliver his own people from the likes of Rev. Wright?

The media is curiously silent on this very important point. I wonder why? Any bets that if the shoe was on the other foot they would have been dragging the Superdelegates attention to the Electoral College map and insisting that this is the better process to sift out who is the stronger of the two candiddates? Certainly had they done that they would not be harboring lingering doubts about how to prop up a man so he can be helped to teh finnish line. And Hillary should not be that one since she will be bringing the greater share to the table. Why should women continue to be relegated to supporting actress roles? Let me remind you - we are in the 21st century.

If not Hillary let us go for leadership we can count on. McCain 2008!

t has been the stated goal of the religious right to appoint conservative judges to overturn Roe vs. Wade for years. Bush is on board with this plan. Every single judge that Bush appointed to every single Federal bench that came open during his tenure was a right wing Christian conservative. The Democrats were stymied when the GOP controlled congress, and Bush got to appoint two right wing Supreme Court Justices.

First Bush appointed John Roberts to replace Sandra Day O'Connor when she stepped down. When Chief Justice Wm. Rehnquist died in 2005, Bush appointed Roberts as Chief Justice, and then filled O'Connor's empty chair with Samuel Alito. Both Roberts and Alito are Catholic, and both are outspoken against abortion.

Bush has appointed two of the nine Justices, including the Chief Justice. The current Supreme Court has been sharply divided on a number of high profile issues, including abortion rights, affirmative action, eminent domain, gay rights, the separation of church and state, sovereign immunity, and states' rights. The number of close votes in cases involving these areas suggests that a change of one or two key justices could completely shift the thinking of the Court on such issues.

Right now there are four Justices who are elderly and will soon either retire or die. The next President will get to appoint at least two new Justices. If the next President is McCain, those two will both be conservative right wing Christians. McCain has publicly PROMISED to do this, and explicitly said that his goal is to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

Most Americans, even most Republicans, value the separation of church and state. That clause is in our Constitution to protect us from exactly what is going on in America today! Allowing any religious group (especially a radical one) to control the interpretation and application of our laws in the highest court in the land is NOT democratic. Nor is it wise.


I don't care if you are a disappointed Hillary supporter or an undecided Independent or a Republican or are pro-Obama. ANYONE, regardless of stripe, needs to vote against a candidate who had declared his intention of appointing partisan judges. Judges are supposed to be impartial. That is the basis of our legal system. Without that, you might as well live in a dictatorship, without recourse to law.

Although it is a closed case, I can figure out that at the start of the presidential nomination campaign those who dislike Sen Clinton and still said some nasty things about her are those narrow-minded individuals and do not touch reality. She has achieved historic feats having earned 18Million votes on her side and the first woman to make an attemp ton the US presidency. Think of how she electrified the nation with her prowess and eloquence as proven in her political experience as legislator. Truly she is made of good quality stuff harnessed by lot of hard works and strong commitment to serve. Someday, the nation will wake up to see a first woman president and her name is Hillary Rodman Clinton.

Barry should be scared to death. I can't wait for America's Darling to be ripped to shreds over the next 5 months. Obama has thus far proven only one thing- change for change's sake is never a good thing. Since when did disrespect, sexism, and hate become positive things in America? I won't be bullied into voting for Barack "Empty Suit" Obama. Hillary was our only shot and the Obamabots blew it.

Rape my candidate, I'm outta here.
Give me a call when Dems start acting like Dems again.

P.S. I'll be writing Hillary in when November rolls around..

Doris, Have you lost your mind, Ted Kennedy as one of the great law makers. Try to find one positive thing he has done after he escaped as a coward chesapeek Bay?

He is a leftist and the world will be better of if he is no longer in the senate.

i ALREADY DID BUT IT MUST HAVE FALLEN OUT.

BASICLY BE FORWRNNED, OBAMA IS NOT ELECTABLE, AND WHEN THE STATES THAT PUT HIM THERE WHO, DID NOT KNOW ABOUT HIS NASTY PAST WILL VOTE HIM DOWN.

SO ALL THE YOUNG VOTERS WHO DO NOT SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL WILL GET A CLASS IN DISSAPOINTMENT. HE IS NOT ELECTABLE, THE NASTY STUFF OF THE PAST WILL RULE HIM OUT. SO BE PREPARRED FOLKES FOR A REPUBLICAN IN THERE EVEN IF WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT. JUST WAIT AND SEE.

I will not vot for Obama unless Hilary is on the ticket. After talking to lots of friends...seems they all feel the same way. If not on the ticket, I will either not vote or vote for McCain. Just dont think at this point Obama can really make any difference, that pretty much goes for McCain. I would just rathr have someone with more experience.

i supported clinton. i WILL NOT support Obama. he has no clue how to run a country. this Democrat will be voting for McCain. not by choice but because i was forced to. just shows this country is full of MORONS. Clinton was best choice and these fools buy Obama's fake put ons. you people should be ashamed of yourselves. GO McCAIN!

Let's face it, the DNC didn't want her from the beginning. Furthermore when does the DNC get to tell the states when or how to hold THEIR Primary Elections. We watch elections all over the world....who was watching this one. I'm neither a Republican or Democrat...I vote for the person not the party...but she got shafted on this one.

SURE ARE A LOT OF REPUGNANT REPUBLICAN SPYS ON THIS BLOG.

Barak Obama is the Democratic Presidential Candidate. Funny that everyone still wants to talk about Hillary Clinton. I guess it's because this primary race has shown everyone, including her, just how much power she has gathered on her own. She may have lost but there are easily 18 million reasons everyone in the Democratic leadership is going to pay strict attention to everything she says, wants and sponsors. She lost this bid for the White House but in the end she may indeed be the big winner. I'm one of the 18 million and I am also one of the 28% of that 18 million that will be voting for John McCain.

OBAMA SUPPORTERS: The only time I promised myself that I was going to post Obama related (not so flattering) stuff was when I saw a board of bloggers totally attacking Hillary and/or Bill Clinton. With Obama having won the democratic nomination and with Hillary endorsing Obama on Saturday in her speech I thought things would calm down and that obama supporters would cool it on the Clinton dissing. Guess I was wrong.

So don???t blame me for this. And oh, thanks for making the divider within the democratic party shrink, NOT..

F A C T O R F I C T I O N ? To be determined at a future date

Why won???t Obama campaign deny ???Whitey??? video?
June 04th 2008 Posted by Infidelesto
If the rumors are false, Why doesn???t the Obama campaign just come out and say so? It???s pretty weak when all Michelle Obama can muster is the ???Don???t trust bloggers because people lie??? comment she made on Monday.
I???ve been waiting and waiting to comment on this and see if the Michelle Obama ???Whitey??? video tape rumors actually come true. I did not want to jump on the rumor bandwagon so fast like everyone else, although I must admit that the last couple days have changed my mind. At first I had a hard time believing it, especially after what Michelle Malkin brought up about the credibility of Larry Johnson, the man who has been fanning the rumor flames from the beginning.
Now after hearing Bob Beckel mentioned it on FoxNews and John Fund of the Wall street Journal chiming in on the rumors:
???Indeed, rumors are swirling on the campaign trail that a new video will soon surface featuring Mrs. Obama appearing on a panel with radical speakers during which she makes more controversial statements.???
A TownHall blogger also claims Rudy Giuliani???s team acquired the tape.

Don't let Oabama supporters convince you that McCain is going to be just like Bush. He is far more liberal, a liberal conservative to be exact. Hillary is a conservative liberal, Obama is a liberal, but really he has no meaningful accomplishments or legislation that we can go by. Just his word on what he will do. And we all know about taking any politician at their word.

if you buy into the obama thing then you will have buyers remorse in 2010

Some Hillary supporters are crying "sexism" and vowing to vote for McCain in the fall. Since Clinton's and McCain's policies are so different, does that mean these supporters were only voting for Clinton because she's a woman and not for her policies? Talk about sexism...
