People look at comments made by SUE, Debra, and A….this is what the repos wants…the Republicans are voting for OBAMA to fluff his numbers so that HILLARY is out of the race because they know McCAIN can’t win against her. Once the November elections come, which would obviously be too late, McCain will win by a landslide because the republicans were voting for him in the primary. That’s why these numbers and mysterious leaning votes are. People wake up. Tell the delegates to vote Hillary or lose it all over again.

Sue, Angel…I am with you and there are millions more like us and when McCain debates Obama in the fall, many more will she his inadequacies. Obama has worked 143 days in the Senate….does that really qualify him to run this country. The media was with him from the start, the billionaire liberals too. Racially, it was imbarassing that 92% black vote went to him. Doesn’t matter. Obama has NO JUDGEMENT, CHARACTER, EXPERIENCE OR PATRIOTISM to lead this country and his little pocket of college kids/blacks/radicals ARE NOT THE MAJORITY OF THIS COUNTRY AND THAT HELPS ME SLEEP AT NIGHT.

I wish Obama supporters wouldn’t always go racial in their minds about Hillary supporters going for McCain. It is about CHARACTER, JUDGEMENT, PATRIOTISM, EXPERIENCE……NOT BECAUSE HE IS BLACK!
God, I wish some people would get that iit wouldn’t matter if he was purple….he is unelectable in the GE. He has to work more than the 143 days in the Senate (quoted by MSNBC this AM) to come close to the resumes of Clinton or McCain…we are not just going to give it to him. THIS highest seat in our country has to be earned! NEVER Obama. Majority of Hillary supporters voting McCain…nothing like women scorned. (alot of men I know switching to McCain if not Hillary).

After seven years of Bush I am amazed that any Democrat or anyone would vote Republican. Apparently there still are very ugly racial issues lurking in our society if Democrats will vote for John McCain rather than Barack Obama.
As to the polls, everyone should know that they depend on who is doing the polling and the demographic of those being polled.

The North Carolina and Indiana exit polls have reaffirmed the perception that Obama pastor controversy may allienate many voters including Democrats.
Almost half of all voters in NC and IN considered the situation of Obama pastor controversy as “very/somewhat important” issue.
My surprise is that Obama supporters accounted for more than 30% of those voters- combining NC and IN- who considered Obama pastor controversy an “very/somewhat important” issue.

I have been a democrat all my life. I will not help elect someone who I feel will divide this country with a civil war. If Obama is the democrat choice I will vote for MaCain. I also know a lot of people feel the same as I do.

The latest New York Times/CBS Poll tried to justify how Obama pastor controversy has not negative effect on Barack Obama candidacy.
How the pollsters explain when NYT/CBS polls asked to name the candidate “who would unite the country”:
52% of the voters selected Barack Obama as “uniter” down from 67% in February, while 48% picked Hillary Clinton as “uniter” up from 34% in February.
This a swing of 29 points in favor of Hillary Clinton since the NYT/CBS poll in February, closing the gap in Barack Obama’ strogest messages “uniter” and “bring people together”.
How the pollsters explain that 44% of voters as per NYT/CBS poll who had heard about Obama pastor said his controversy will have A LOT or SOME impact in November if Barack Obama is DEM Nominee.
How the pollster explain that 47% of the voters indicated Barack Obama decided to renounce the ties to his pastor mainly because Obama thought it would help him politically.
How the pollsters explain when the voters asked the question: “How much do you think Obama pastor has shaped Obama’s”
43% of the voters said A LOT or SOME of Obama’s political views.
58% of the voters said A LOT or SOME of Obama’s spiritual views.
After reading the 16 pages NYT/CBS poll, I believe the Obama pastor controversy has alienated many voters who are now questioning Barack Obama messages.

28 YEARS of a Clinton or bush in the 1 or 2 spot is just way too looooooog. Let’s go for the fresh start. Hopefully, after tomorrow the Hillary campaign will be peacefully put to sleep just like “eight belles” in the Derby. Obama 2008!

A lot of fancy talk and big words can be summed up easily. NYT/CBS counted a larger percentage of black voters than there really are. and they used a very small sample.

I wonder why the drive-media keep the Global Povert Act ( S.2433) sponsored by the highness Obama in the dark. Do you need to wait for Rush or Sean to bring it up first. Roughly 84 million dollars proposed to be tax on the Americans to benefit certain group of people. What is the motive behind that proposal? Who and what country will benefit the most? At least before we get ripp-off, we need to learn more about the Almighty.
