Why McCain Won

Hey mickeyj

Every black person who votes for a black candidate is not racist, and every white person who votes for a white candidate is not racist. The statistics are, that in 1988 and 1992, blacks voted 92% for Clinton. Before then, EVERY presidential candidate that blacks voted for were WHITE. I don't think that makes them any more racist than the fact that before Obama EVERY white who voted for a presidential candidate was white.

I'm encouraged by the loud conservative voice I'm hearing in this thread today. Maybe the paid lib bloggers are taking a nap. As far as the polls go, my wife is an Independent and she gets mail from Obama every day. My daughter is 18, just registered in highschool, and she gets pollsters calling her. I'm pretty sure she registered Democrat. I'm registered Republican and no one calls me. Hmmmmmm. Doesn't matter, Indiana allows early voting and I've already cast it for my man McCain and my gal Palin!

Race ? Here we go again. Ok , so if Obama wins and fails as a President do we( the public) get to say something about it or our we (the public) going to be called racist for pointing this out. What a web you've woven oh liberal. The liberal elites appetite for power is so great that has placed a burden so great upon someone like Obama (and he bought into it) that the bar has been set so high he can only fail and when this happens the elite will flee in mass. I pity Obama for he is blinded by the by the same thing he fights POWWR.

I like to believe that the American people recognize the left wing liberal press for what it is, and be guided by common sense. I haven't believed what I have seen or read in the media for a very long time. Unfortunately, if you want to follow any news you have to put up with the liberal media and use common sense to determine the real truth. Anyone with a College or University education can recall at least one (or in my case several) liberal professors. It should be no surprise that the majority of the writers , including those who write for the media, are liberal. We have been listening and reading about their hopeful dream of Obama winning this election. Does not make it so. I myself am a mathematician and know how easy it is to skew a poll. Its all in how the questions are formulated and asked. I'll wait for the actual election results. Its liklier that McCain will win than Mr. Alter would like, and his discomfort with that fact shows in the article.

I really recent the inuation that if a perosn votes for mccain they must bea racist...believe it or not some Americans do look at the issues and some still vote for a canidate because on th eissues and on the canidates values...those who rreport such rhetoric and those who suggest such nonsence are the racists.....Liberals from day one wanted to turn this into a race issue and never mind about the real issues..just throw any ol thing out there and then call those who vote for Mccain racists that should win us this election they say. Unfortunatly their backdoor tactics may be working jjust like Obamas back door tactics gor him into the congress by playing real dirty...this time he actually had to run against someone..he is not the only one on the ballot so since he can not find a way to be the only one on the ballot this time he is running with the race card which has proven effective 9 x out of 10..heck it worked for OJ......so with that said let me say yea I am a white female and yes I am voting for Mccain on the issues..If Condy Rice was running on the republican ticket with the same issues as Mccain I would be voting for her. So please lets stick to the issues lets stop playing black jack .....it's really getting old and lets vote for who we think has the most experience, has the most knowledge and has a proven tract record..........

How ignorant of you to suggest that the only reason a Democrat may vote republican would be because of Obama's skin color or that they are "low information". You have resorted to childish reactions. I, for one, am educated enough that I don't have to read Newsweek which has distorted views, or should I say opinions. Your article proves you are incapable of reporting the facts, you must sleep a lot and have these "crazy" dreams which you write for Newsweek or else you have drank way too much Obama Kool-aid.

Obama, is to keep General Powell as an advisor, If elected and wants to re-start the draft. Perhaps its
time since enlistment is at an all time low. He also wants to send troops to Afghanistan but take them out of Iraq. I sure will be glad when all this is over lol.

"Why are some Democrats worried that Mr. Obama may not necessarily be headed to the White House?
For starters, the American people like to have checks and balances. With predictions that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will grow their liberal power bases in the House and the Senate, more Americans than reflected in various polls may decide to apply the brakes to an Obama presidency.
And I know you???ve heard this before, experience does matter. Joe Biden may have inadvertently made that case for John McCain when he recently said that the world will test Barack Obama in six months. ???The world is looking,??? he said. ???Watch, we???re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.??? I feel the American People should not have to go through this again.

Will an Obama supporter please explain to me how everyone who votes for McCain is a racist? Also, explain how blacks aren't racists when they support the black candidate by a 95-5% margin.

wgoin,

Typical that you make an assumption that he hates blacks simply because he chooses to vote for McCain. You may be white, but you are the ignorant one by refusing to accept all of the less than stellar associations that Obama has with leftist radicals. Facts are facts...nothing is being made up. People like you don't want to see the truth about this man and so use the sad excuse that if someone disagrees with how you plan to vote, you label them a racist.

Underground Sanity: Don't start trying to bring up fear of the draft and tie that into McCain's policies somehow. Didn't you hear Obama wants to go into Pakistan? I am more fearful of other countries drawing the U.S. into a conflict if Obama is elected. The enemies of our country see him as weak, as a pacifist and protectionist that will bend easy when challenged.

And again, Obama's race and ethnicity are not the problem for the majority of McCain supporters. It's his views and where he will take this country that we are afraid of. McCain is not going to diminish anyone's civil rights, rather, it is Obama who will surely diminish everyone's constitutional rights!

I am so disgusted with mainstream media that I stopped taking the papers and listening to those TV stations. Why can't they bring up topics more relevant and with less hype than the stinking racecard. How about proof of where Obama was really born? So far he's failed to produce an official, untampered with birth certificate. He's only produced a certificate of live birth which is not the same....and anyone can put a birth announcement in a paper, but that doesn't make it official! Can't believe this isn't being resolved before the election! What does he and mainstream media have to hide? This is one of the reasons I'm not voting for Obama....he's not forthright and seems to be hiding things in the way he phrases his answers to questions. Besides, he has less experience than Sara Palin and he has no moral value with regard to what is "life".

I think "everyone is NUTS"! Mc Cain is "no worse" than "Obama" in deciet or "anything else"! if Obams "is" elected, then we're in "bigger trouble" than with Bush "or " McCain. "all" candinates lie to get where they want to be. "wake up" America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
