Obama Hits Florida, Focuses on McCain

It is so fun to watch the Republicans on the defensive for a change.
Chuck Hagle coming out in defense of Obama’s positions was outstanding.
No wonder the republicans want Hillary to be the nominee.
John McCain is outclassed big time.

Obama the transparent candidate! Where is that list of lobbyists working on your campaign Senator Obama? Any luck finding the 8 years of state senate records yet? What do you think your campaign advisors company was really doing when they breeched the passport security for all three candidates – covering something up for Obama? And how do all those Floridians like seeing you? Are you telling them that their votes don’t count now, but you demand that they vote for you later?

Ha!
Does he really think Florida wants to hear his argument about delegate math? What a joke!
There was a piece in the NYT claiming that Oregon is a swing state. I live in Oregon and it will go dem,, no matter who’s on the ticket this year. Yes, we’re a little quirky and have a divide in the state, but the green corridor far outnumbers the rest of the state.
However, Florida is truly the definition of a swing state. There is little hope that Obama can swing it in his direction after his “rules are more important than voters” argument. And to start off with that shows just how disconnected he is with a majority of voters.
I have a question as well. I read somewhere that Dean said that though the delegates of Florida are i question, the votes “of course” count, as they were certified elections with downticket dems as well. Is this true? and why is no one talking about that?

I pray that Hillary understands that we need to join together. If things had been the opposite, I would DEFINATELY vote for Hillary, but it will be OB…

Mr. BHO: It’s too little, too late; you phony hypocrite, and sure loser in November. You are stealing the nomination.

Hillary has not lost and Obama has not won. It is up to the superdelegates and they don’t count until they vote on the convention floor! Hillary is not giving up, and neither are her supporters. And we will never, ever vote for Obama – EVER! Obama is suffering from premature victory celebration!

In answer to your question drae: according to the DNC RULES – only the pledged delegates may be stripped from a state, the popular vote is not affected and the RULES allow for the popular vote to count. So Hillary is correct and following the RULES by counting the popular vote for MI and FL. Obama removed his name off the ballot in MI – no RULES said he had to do it. Obama and Edwards ran phone banks telling people to vote uncommitted on the ballots – that was a violation of the RULES. Obama advertised in FL – that was a violation of the RULES. Hillary is leading in the popular vote – and the media and Obama can say all day she is not, but the RULES say she is!

Thanks frisco girl, that’s what I thought I understood, but how can the MSM continue to misrepresent and misreport?
Apparently propaganda is alive and well in the nation of the free press.

So Obama is in Florida.. How pathetic..

First of all, nobody asked nobody to take their name off, and nobody asked nobody to abide the DNC rules. They all volunteered not to campaign in MI and FL. Secondly, it is not only HRC’s name on the ballot. Thirdly, it is BHO who went one step further, along with a couple of other people, to take his name off the MI ballot, for no other reason but pandering Iowa voters to show that he is “more phony” to keep Iowa caucusing first. Fourth, BHO realized he made a mistake, and decided to keep his name on the ballot of FL. Fifth, since his name was on the ballot of FL, he started airing commercials in FL, breaking DNC rules. He was stopped because it was pointed out that he had been breaking rules, and he came out with a phony excuse as he does whenever he is criticized on his mistakes. Sixth, in the same vein, BHO advertised to MI voters not to vote for HRC, and vote for uncommitted as a way to show supporting the phony himself.
If any rules were broken, it is BHO who really broke the rules.

See my post above to rebut your argument on behalf your phony BHO.

You know you Fla and Mi crybabies need to get over it. Obama in any situation did the right thing. Keep in mind he did not campaign in Fla, Clinton did(smells like a scam anyway) when she knew she was not supposed to. Obama can reject anything he wants to that is his right to do so and a brilliant tactical maneuver as well and if you were in his position you would have done or do the same thing. Remember these two things folks this is about winning nothing else matters. And EVERYBODY knows there is nothing fair in politics. Hill should have not campaigned in Fla and concentrated on one of those states she lost she might be in a better position today.

Who cares about Kentucky. It goes Republican in the GE.

“a new name”- something from the dictionary for you
steal v. , stole , stolen , stealing , steals . v.tr. To take (the property of another) without right or permission.
Are you implying that BHO did not rightfully win it by the rules set in place by the DNC? Are you saying the nomination is tainted and should be HRC’s and no one elses? That attitude is why she lost. Think about it.

Why is Barack a Potted Plant when it comes to counting all the votes?
Barack the Potted Plant. Sat in his anti-american chruch for 20 years and said nothing. Now he wants americans to vote for him. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Oh, isn’t he just being so presidential. That being said, his words lack a soul, a heartbeat. They are empty and hollow – words repeated from a written page, pages written for him, not by him.
Unfortunately the details about his involvement with Rezko and others will surface much too late for us to save ourselves.
Look at the man – the picture of ambiguity and deceit.

bhrandon,
yes I watch both videos, I understand the context of both. Do you not see that the message was shifted to the audience he faced. Can anyone really be that blind? I understand and believe that some of what he says is true, very very true. But you cannot get there with just blind idealism; you cannot get there with hope. You get there by compromise, with experience, and yes with toughness when needed. Leaders of other countries are not going to just fall in line with Obama’s plans. That’s just ridiculous.
Today the world is far more dangerous and you cannot put “hope” out there to protect us.
A vote for McCain is not a vote to continue Bush, that is just so much talk. He is a different man.
I marched against the war in Iraq, I was in effect fired from my job for my political views, at the time one had to hide their opposition to the war. But there is no way I want to just walk away from it now. We broke that country, we did it. We created this mess and it is our moral duty to insure that we do not create what USSR created in Afganistan.
There is no way that a failed state that we created, especially in the middle east, will not lead to more death, war, and destruction. I hate that we are there, I hate that more than 4000 of our soldiers have died there, I HATE that so many more have come home to commit suicide and suffer what in effect was an illegal action against a sovereign state. BUT IT HAPPENED!!!
You can’t just say “Wow let’s just get out of there and everyone will listen to Obama’s vision of hope and change; all the enemies created in the last eight years are just gonna fall in.” Let’s be realistic!
We need someone who will insure that it does not become a greater mess. Obama has no experience, none in dealing with foreign leaders; no experience in crossing the aisle and getting things done; no history to back up his words.
You want me to elect him because he is a democrat. No!
There is nothing more that I want than to see a democrat back in office, but I cannot do that.
My son is 17, he has never held a gun, hell, he has never held a water pistol. I am a pacifist but I am also a realist. I want health care and roe to stand and all the rest, but not at the expense of our future; my son’s future.
Please research some more about what Obama has really said in different environments. Look, really look at his history, not what he says is his history, but the facts.
He is not ready.

Mr Obama you worked long and hard not to have my vote in the primaries count in Florida,
There comes a time when rules aren’t just rules. YOU JUST DO THE RIGHT THING>
You didn’t want my vote then and you can’t have it now.
