Glow Fading?

chindognyc, Iowa was a caucus, which disadvantages working people and mothers with school age children. Fewer than 3000 people were able to attend. Obama supporters manipulated the process. The outcome did not reflect popular opinion as expressed in general polls for the state.

The DNC nomination process was rigged so that Obama would win. Clinton would have overcome the bias in the caucuses if the DNC hadn't said FL and MI wouldn't count at all. She won both states, and that would have made her the frontrunner.

Ultimately the DNC can name whoever they want to be the candidate. In fact, the superdelegates can still change their minds at the convention if they want to. If they do change their minds and nominate Hillary Clinton, I would vote for her, but I don't expect that to happen.

chindognyc, Obama's campaign was the one that started the cross-over registration campaign because he knew he wouldn't win the primary without some anti-Clinton republicans. Do the research and you will find the fliers his campaign was distributing in Florida and Nevada long before Limbaugh's operation chaos.

You like to post without checking your facts. Apparently you like to choose your candidate without checking the facts too.

Oboma is a phony and will do and say anything to be elected. As time goes on it will be apparent how badlyl prepared he is to hold the office, no matter how many gray hairs are added to his head by his handlers. It is apparent that his wife is not an asset with her big mouth and his move to the center is revealing his true nature, in truth he is really and "Obamanation " and a danger to serve as president of this country.

So chindognyc, what's wrong with a foreign company merging with an American company and paying social security and medicare for american employees? Paying american employees for working and producing a product which they will then market to the world?

Somehow I don't think you have any experience in business.

In 1866, Congress overrode President Andrew Johnson's veto on April 9 and passed the Civil Rights Act, conferring citizenship upon black Americans and guaranteeing equal rights with whites. On June 13, Congress approved the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, guaranteeing due process and equal protection under the law to all citizens. This Amendment defined "citizens" and "voters" as "male."

The amendment would also grant citizenship to blacks. The Reconstruction Acts were passed by Congress on March 2, 1867. These acts called for the enfranchisement of former slaves in the South. Hiram R. Revels (Republican) of Mississippi was elected and took his seat February 25 1870. He was the first black United States senator, though he served only one year. Blanche Kelso Bruce (Republican) of Mississippi took his seat in the United States Senate on March 3 1875. He would become the first African-American to serve a full six-year term. Black men voted in the presidential election of 1876, the outcome in the Electoral College appeared too close to be conclusive in the campaign of Samuel Tilden (Democrat) versus Rutherford B. Hayes (Republican).

Susan B. Anthony was arrested and brought to trial in Rochester, New York, for attempting to vote for Ulysses S. Grant in the presidential election of 1872. At the same time, Sojourner Truth appears at a polling booth in Battle Creek, Michigan, demanding a ballot; she is turned away.

Women did not get the right to vote until 1919.

I believe this like I believe I have a hole in my head. I just went over the rest of them and they are the complete opposite of this one. Besides as a republican, I could never vote for Mccain. the poor old soul is loseing his marbles. Can't follow a issue, or complete one discussion with out drifting away onto some thing alse. He's horrified when asked to answer womens questions, and veryly educated enough to get on the internet, and knows little about high tech at all. Ya this man is scary with that temper of his!

wordlover, if you want real change, elect John McCain. He's the only one who has lead a movement to change Congress, bringing transparency to pork barrel spending, outting the politicians whose secret earmarks led to bridges to nowhere and other special interest spending.

I am sick of Obama supporters who claim "Obama represents the new America. The America that is racially diverse and that wants to be a good citizen of the world. McCain represents the old America. The America run by wealthy, white males on the backs of poor people of color." What a crock, I suppose if ya click your heals and say their is no one like Obama ya will believe it over time. WAKE UP! Behind every great man their is an even greater woman! But the DNC wouldnt get behind HER! Black men got to vote 50 years before women, black AND white WOMEN. A truely diverse ticket would have a woiman on it, and who cares what color!

A nation of whiners?Put McCain in office,if you really want to hear whining.It will be four more years of the Bush Administration.If you like the downward spiral that America is on then you should vote for McCain.I hope America is smart enough not to put McCain in office.It is time for the Democrats to put America back on the right track.We will see in November if any of these polls are correct.

Obama went to the madrassas in Jakarta and was a practicing muslim. His father was a muslim. His stepfather was a muslim. In Islam, no matter what your mother is, if your father is a muslim, so are you. Obama understands and knows what is in the koran. Did he leave Islam, and if so, why the silence? If he left Islam, that would qualify him as an apostate, but I haven???t seen calls for his death-which we most certainly would have seen in his very public candidacy for the presidency. Is Obama practicing kitman or takeyya?

Perhaps an indication of what he means when he talks about being the ???candidate for change???.

His cousin Odinga is partnering with Islamic jihadists who are behind the violence in Kenya over his loss at the polls. Odinga is connected with Al Qaeda, for crying out loud. We should be asking question after question of Obama and his campaign, because the next president - like it or not-will be a war president. And we should not have someone in the highest office in our land who would not only be the first muslim president, but who would aggressively enable our jihadist enemies; as their ally.

Who???s to say Obama wouldn???t aggressively work to install sharia and fulfill CAIR???s dream for the US, just like his cousin is attempting to do in Kenya? All indications are???that???s exactly the ???change??? that he???s looking for.

Ladybird, I'd rather she not accept the VP nomination, she would have more power and longevity in the senate than she would as VP, and if he loses, she'd lose ground, it would hurt her more than it would hurt him.

I'm going to vote McCain this fall. He won't serve but one term, and he would be constrained by a democratic majority in Congress.

The republicans are already trying to blame the democratic congress for the economic problems we are experiencing - we can't afford another landslide victory that would give them the white house and Congress four years from now if Obama is elected and fails to turn it around in his first term (which he won't - he has never held an executive position before, and obviously doesn't know how to balance a budget without some kind of windfall like selling a book or getting a sweet deal on a house, or getting Michelle on a board of directors in return for casting a vote or getting paid for nonexistent "legal" work in return for greasing the wheels for some special interest like Killerspin.

Obama represents the new America. The America that is racially diverse and that wants to be a good citizen of the world. McCain represents the old America. The America run by wealthy, white males on the backs of poor people of color. The America that the world sees as a bully that wants others to do as they say not as they do. The America that has forgotten about the future of our children and leaving them a world that is as good for them as we can possibly make it. Obama is the candidate of the future. He represents the best that we can be. Words do matter. How the world sees us and hears us does matter.

The onlu surprise in this poll is that it took so long for most people to wake up and realize both parties nominated the wrong candidate, and the lack of confidence in either McCain or Obama is becoming evident.
