Are Women Shunning Obama? Pollster Says No

I hate Obama , I am a woman and refuse to follow senator clinton’s endrsment!
We will burry sin of a … Obama!
Women will send John Mccain to the White House in 2008!
God damn Obama!

Shirley, I can think of Republicans I’d prefer to McCain. Chuck Hagel, Christine Todd Whitman, John Warner, etc.
But I’ll admit I like McCain more than some of them.

his first day as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama made his first clear, serious mistake: He named Eric Holder as one of three people charged with vice-presidential vetting.
As deputy attorney general, Holder was the key person who made the pardon of Marc Rich possible in the final hours of the Clinton presidency.
Now, Obama will be stuck in the Marc Rich mess.
If ever there was a person who did not deserve a presidential pardon, it’s Marc Rich, the fugitive billionaire who renounced his U.S. citizenship and moved to Switzerland to avoid prosecution for racketeering, wire fraud, 51 counts of tax fraud, tax evasion (to the tune of $48 million), and illegal trades with Iran in violation of the US embargo following the 1979-80 hostage crisis.
Seventeen years later, Rich wanted a pardon, and he retained Jack Quinn, former counsel to the president, to lobby his old boss.
It was Holder who had originally recommended Quinn to one of Rich’s advisers, although he claims that he did not know the identity of the client.
And he gave substantive advice to Quinn along the way. According to Quinn’s notes that were produced to Congress, Holder told Quinn to take the pardon application “straight to the White House” because “the timing is good.”
And once the pardon was granted, Holder sent his congratulations to Quinn.
In 2002, a congressional committee reported that Holder was a “willing participant in the plan to keep the Justice Department from knowing about and opposing” the Rich pardon.
It is one thing to reach back to Obama’s pastor to raise doubts about his values. But it is quite another to scrutinize the record of his first appointee.
It couldn’t be a bigger mistake.
===================================================
Obama Was Selected, Not Elected
Words mean nothing to liberals. They say whatever will help advance their cause at the moment, switch talking points in a heartbeat, and then act indignant if anyone uses the exact same argument they were using five minutes ago.
When Gore won the popular vote in the 2000 election by half a percentage point, but lost the Electoral College — or, for short, “the constitutionally prescribed method for choosing presidents” — anyone who denied the sacred importance of the popular vote was either an idiot or a dangerous partisan.
But now Hillary has won the popular vote in a Democratic primary, while Obambi has won under the rules. In a spectacular turnabout, media commentators are heaping sarcasm on our plucky Hillary for imagining the “popular vote” has any relevance whatsoever.
It’s the exact same situation as in 2000, with Hillary in the position of Gore and Obama in the position of Bush. The only difference is: Hillary has a much stronger argument than Gore ever did (and Hillary’s more of a man than Gore ever was).
Unbeknownst to liberals, who seem to imagine the Constitution is a treatise on gay marriage, our Constitution sets forth rules for the election of a president. Under the Constitution that has led to the greatest individual liberty, prosperity and security ever known to mankind, Americans have no constitutional right to vote for president, at all. (Don’t fret Democrats: According to five liberals on the Supreme Court, you do have a right to sodomy and abortion!)
Americans certainly have no right to demand that their vote prevail over the electors’ vote.
The Constitution states that electors from each state are to choose the president, and it is up to state legislatures to determine how those electors are selected. It is only by happenstance that most states use a popular vote to choose their electors.
When you vote for president this fall, you will not be voting for Barack Obama or John McCain; you will be voting for an elector who pledges to cast his vote for Obama or McCain. (For those new Obama voters who may be reading, it’s like voting for Paula, Randy or Simon to represent you, instead of texting your vote directly.)
Any state could abolish general elections for president tomorrow and have the legislature pick the electors. States could also abolish their winner-take-all method of choosing presidential electors — as Nebraska and Maine have already done, allowing their electors to be allocated in proportion to the popular vote. And of course there’s always the option of voting electors off the island one by one.
If presidential elections were popular vote contests, Bush might have spent more than five minutes campaigning in big liberal states like California and New York. But under a winner-take-all regime, close doesn’t count. If a Republican doesn’t have a chance to actually win a state, he may as well lose in a landslide. Using the same logic, Gore didn’t spend a lot of time campaigning in Texas (and Walter Mondale campaigned exclusively in Minnesota).
Consequently, under both the law and common sense, the famed “popular vote” is utterly irrelevant to presidential elections. It would be like the winner of “Miss Congeniality” claiming that title also made her “Miss America.” Obviously, Bush might well have won the popular vote, but he would have used a completely different campaign strategy.
By contrast, there are no constitutional rules to follow with party primaries. Primaries are specifically designed by the parties to choose their strongest candidate for the general election.
Hillary’s argument that she won the popular vote is manifestly relevant to that determination. Our brave Hillary has every right to take her delegates to the Democratic National Convention and put her case to a vote. She is much closer to B. Hussein Obama than the sainted Teddy Kennedy was to Carter in 1980 when Teddy staged an obviously hopeless rules challenge at the convention. (I mean rules about choosing the candidate, not rules about crushed ice at after-parties.)
And yet every time Hillary breathes a word about her victory in the popular vote, TV hosts respond with sneering contempt at her gaucherie for even mentioning it. (Of course, if popularity mattered, networks like MSNBC wouldn’t exist. That’s a station that depends entirely on “superviewers.”)
After nearly eight years of having to listen to liberals crow that Bush was “selected, not elected,” this is a shocking about-face. Apparently unaware of the new party line that the popular vote amounts to nothing more than warm spit, just last week HBO ran its movie “Recount,” about the 2000 Florida election, the premise of which is that sneaky Republicans stole the presidency from popular vote champion Al Gore. (Despite massive publicity, the movie bombed, with only about 1 million viewers, so now HBO is demanding a “recount.”)
So where is Kevin Spacey from HBO’s “Recount,” to defend Hillary, shouting: “WHO WON THIS PRIMARY?”
In the Democrats’ “1984″ world, the popular vote is an unconcept, doubleplusungood verging on crimethink. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

This is one woman who has never or will never vote for Obama–I consider him dangerous for all-young, old, men, women, young people and Christians.

So much for the tens of women that said they would never vote for Obama.
This poll is a very strong indicator that the vast majority of Americans vote based on the issues, and not out of bitterness, as indicated by a very vociferous tiny, tiny minority.

MR. BUSH IS VERY BLESSED BY HIS FAMILY, I WISH THEM WELL.

I’m guessing you guys are in the 19 percent of the party who Rasmussen found to not be supporting Obama yet, lol.
I think Obama’s chances are looking pretty strong for the fall. He was usually slightly ahead to even with McCain in polling, back when 70 percent of Democrats would back him in a notional match-up. Now that 81 percent of Democrats back him, he’s that much stronger.
But that aside, its still independents who decide elections, and both major parties have nominated their strongest candidate with independents, so in that view this one is a battle of the titans.

Obama will definitely win the women votes with a help of Hillary. There is no doubt that. He will continue to appeal to them and they will finally turn the table and be his in the fall.

I ama woman and will NEVER forget!
Hillary will NOT change my mind!
GO McCain!

I just went on the John McCain site and registered!
Barrack Obama is NOT getting my vote!
McCain for president!
I am NOT going to follow Hillary!
America comes first, than the unity of the party!

Once again the MSM comes to rescue their golden boy — is this familiar? before the super Tuesday, so many polls came out suggesting Obama was winning, creating this psychology that the wind the was pushing him, he was inevitable.
But this kind of tactics are no longer working? Obama has problem with women, I have talked to so many of my friends and am convinced. At this point, we all know that his big-rally, by which the media is trying to make him a God, is no longer an indicator that people will vote for him. The more people know about him, the less impressed they are with him. After March 4, he won fewer states, fewer votes (almost half million) than Clinton. He lacks substance, and he is so inexperienced, he just can not live up to the standard — how many gaffes he had uttered after March 4th? Many of them showed he is very ignorant about important international affairs and domestic issues — His AIPAC speech is just a recent one. From now on to November, there will be more evidence showing that. It is hard to pretend to be something that you are not, Mr. Obama. I will not vote for him this November, and 15 of my friends will not vote for him either.

Check the polls Rasmussen did during the primaries, you will see which side he is bised (Obama of course).

During Hillary’s speach, every time she mentioned Barrack Obama’s name, he got BOOO’d, 14 times!
LOL
I am for McCain too!

Even john McCain has more respect for senator Clinton!
No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her”
neither barrack Obama nor the Democratic Party do not deserve my support!
i will vote for John McCain this time!
Hillary 2012

I voted for Obama in my state Idaho! I won’t vote for him in November though!
If I knew about his terrorist ties and anti white agenda I would NOT have voted for him!
Obama is unelectable!
I will go for Mccain too!

It’s clear that there are Republicans here trying to divide and conquer. They can’t stand it that the party’s has begun to come together – hence the ugly and divisive stridency, but of ocurse, we shall overcome…

Pay back time will be November!
I have a vote for John McCain!
Dems do not deserve my support!

Add me to the list of people who will never vote for Obama.
I will be voting for McCain just like Obama’s grandmother.

THey didn’t poll me. A jury of 30 decided who THEY wanted to be the presidential nominee. Truth be told, I don;t like either of them. And I will not write in Hillary in November, as stated above Obama would get credit for it.

Randy,
Gimme a BREAK. The republicans are not smart enough to trap the democrats. Twice as many democrats came out to vote than republicans. Obama is raising tons of money because average Americans are donating ten or twenty dollars at a time unlike the other candidates. mc-more-war has a hard time generating enough excitement to fill a room. After November mc-more-war will head off into the sunset to retire in one of his 8 houses with his millionaire wife. Obama 2008!!!

Once women realize John McCain will appoint consevatives for the Supreme Court and overturn Roe vs Wade, Obama will get the womens vote 70%-30%.

And in 2004 the polls showed Kerry comfortably ahead of Bush.

The obama supporters have nothing to prove their man’s qualification, and now they can only chant “we believe…”, “Obama will…”. Belief will not bring out about the outcome you want.
2004, I was in my Ph.d. program, and on campus there was so much talk about Kerry will win. People made predictions, all the MSM was doing exactly the same thing they are doing today – how the world welcomes Kerry, how the other countries like him, on and on. I was totally convinced that he would win, as the democratic party was so unified then. Yet, he lost big. Obama is doing even worse – and this time, he can not even convince his own party members that he is legitimately elected, not selected. I voted for Kerry, and many of my friends did the same thing, and we even celebrated before the final votes were counted. And we were totally shocked when the result came out that Bush won again!
This time, I am staying at home. Many of my friends who voted for Kerry last time will vote for McCain or stay at home too. There is no way that these poll numbers can convince me that Obama will win. I may be even happy to help make a Obama defeat happen this time – if that is necessary, although I haven’t made my final decision. But the Obama supporters are surely pushing me to that direction.

i SEE ALL THE REPUBLICAN AGENTS ARE OUT TO DIVIDE US. MARCHING ORDERS FROM HANNITY.
Name one cause of Hillarys McCain will fight for? Except that he was not in the Democratic primary. There could only be one other reason.(people will believe fantasies before the truth of their own heart)

well i supported hillary. all along i knew that if she did not get the nod i would support mccain. and that is precisely what i have done, in fact i already went to mccain’s website and signed up. however i do not harbor any ill feelings toward obama. nor any resentment about hilary not getting the nod although i do feel that hillary was derailed and obama was installed. mccain for me is the obvious choice as a hispanic/woman. and i do not feel that i owe the party or anybody else an explanation. i feel very comfortable with my choice and my decision. i will add that obama supporters in attacking hillary supporters on these blogs also played a BIG role in my decision.

The rich will hide their wealth ala Leona Helmsley. When he can’t get the money from them to support his bloated government programs, he’ll come knocking on the middle-class’ door with his hand out. We need tax relief, not a tax increase.

I could do a poll of the bloggers here and say 90% are against Obama! So much for the pollsters — depends on who they poll. This is another means to influence the electorate.

It is not about the causes yet, because before you can say you are working for some causes you have to convince people that you have to the ability and the credentials to make thing happen. So, first thing it is about “Qualification”, about presidency being something you work hard to “EARN” — Obama has nothing !!! He simply used tactics to steal the nomination — of course this is a personal opinion, but I tell you, there are a lot of people who hold this opinion. With more and more gaffes from Obama, and every time I saw him speak, I was like how on earth we ended up with some one so lousy?
McCain, is the best republican we can get in fact. He is not so conservative – his records have already shown that. In many ways, he is better than Obama. I am pro-choice, but I can not stand Obama’s infantcile. I do not oppose gay marriage, but I can not stand Obama’s blanket opposition to the family protection act. He is just too extreme. How I wish Hillary could be the one.

Rasmussen polls are not believable. They have decided to give the elections to Obama and they would tell anything, including lies, to support him. According to Rasmussen, for example, Obama was winning by 20% in some of the states where Hillary won by big margins. So, since they already took out Hillary, now they are focusing in McCain. It will not work. Some women may move to Obama, but the majority of Hillary supporters, women and men included, will never vote for him. We will write in Hillary or vote McCain.

Elected for 4 years does not equate to 100 years in Iraq. More propaganda, comrade.

“I see on ABC’S front page that Elizabeth Hasselbeck claims that Obama is not brilliant. News flash Lizzie–neither are you!!! What you are is a dumb ditzy blond sitting on a show like The View pretending you actually know what you are talking about.Leave the politics to the intellectuals and just sit on the show and act stupid like you normally do !!!!”
Out of the mouth of babes…

By the way, women, be aware of the stupid argument about the appointment of court justices by McCain as the argument to vote for Obama. CONGRESS IS THE ONE WHO CONFIRMS THE NOMINEE, AND WE HAVE A DEMOCRAT MAJORITY IN CONGRESS; SO NO, McCAIN WILL NOT APPOINT ANY JUSTICES not approved by Democrats. (THIS IS ASSUMING PELOSSI STARTS DOING ANY TYPE OF WORK OTHER THAN KISS OBAMA’S %%%).

I can NOT vote for Obama because
1) The way he conducts his campaign
2) His lack of experience
3) His associations with Wright, Plfeger, Rezko,hatem El Hady, Rhasid Khalidi, Farrakhan and Ayers.
4) His insane tax increases compare to Hillary Clinton!

Time will heal whatever wounds are left in the Democratic Party. They are relatively superficial and given a good convention with respect given to Hillary Clinton and her campaign, by September you will have a pretty united party.
I am less sure about how united the Republicans will be. You wonder how McCain can keep the right of hos party, of all types, on side, whilst appealing to independents. I can foresee a messy convention in St Paul, and a fractured party through the Fall. Or a united GOP going down to heavy defeats across the board from the Presidential election downwards.

First of all, I have never post a comment like this before. Obama did not decide to be a black on his own. Our creator did that rather you like the creator or not. It’s so much easier to open your heart and give the man a change. Get pass the color of his skin. Hate only hurts you and our country. It’s going to be OK. Everything in life can and will not go our way. If you really support Hillary and you want her voice to be heard, humble yourself and let it go. We could be part of a country with no privileges at all. You will never be free until you let go inside your own heart and think what life would be like for you if your skin just happened to be black. Blacks are people too and we truly have some strong abilities to perform just like other races of people. Let it go. Trash the hate and you, your families and others will be much better people. I’m just a black woman name Barbara

There are millions of women who will not vote BO – no matter what. (Sorry Hillary) I think the Dem Party are overestimating their chances of moving women to support BO. Women are primarily emotional and won’t be swayed by a logical argument (that doesn’t stack up). We believe HRC is the best person for president and a ‘selected’ not elected stand-in won’t surfice.
I will never vote Obama, and it’s not because of the colour of his skin or that he’s a man. It’s because it would be against my principles to vote for a man I believe lacks substance. If you do your own research and don’t listen to the one-sided media reporting you will find this out for yourself.
Hillary, I havne’t given up hope of you being president in 2008. If destiny has ear-marked the job for you, you’ll get it.

hey Jack,
I agree with you,
Couple more to add though,
5) Obama is a flip -flop,
He changes his positions
7) Obama’s foregin policy is unclear, he wants to meet with Iran, cuban and N, korean Leaders
8) Obama’s health care is worse than John McCain’s!
9) I can NOt imagine Obama’s unAmerican wife as our first lady!

Hillary may be forgiving Obama and the Democratic party but I won’t!
Hillary’s support for Obama will not change most of our mind!
Especially if she is NOT on the ticket!

fantical is what I am seeing here – you people must be the extreme – now we are going to try and bring religion into this? Give me a break – the bible is not to be interputted literally….what’s next Godzilla?

Barbara thank you for trying to blame my voting for McCain because of Obama’s race.I wouldn’t care if he was green.
His mother must be rolling over in her grave that he sold out her family.If I read right his father left the family and if it wasn’t for his “white” family he would not be were he is today.

I’d love to vote for a black president but not a divisive anti-semite!
before Colin Powell or John Lewis, Obama can not be the first black president!

New polls show, after Hillary’s endorsment, Obama has dropped 4 points!
McCain and Obama are at a statistical tie now!
Obama was ahead last week by 6 points!Hill supporters are shifting!

This woman and her entire extended family is not voting for Obama no matter what Hillary says. It is the quality of the candidate that makes the decision clear, not the party he is with or the people that try to force you to vote for him.
Hey ABC..Stop making every story you put up here be about your anointed god Obama.
The MSM is doing just what they did with Hillary. Bashing McCain with every story they carry and exalting BHO to god status. Just this kind of stupidity is what is making people more determined then ever NOT to vote for Obama. We have minds and we will not follow you guys like bleating sheep.
McCain 08!!

I have been a lifelong democrat and have re-registered as an Independent. I do not like how the DNC and the one-sided media handled the primaries – pretty much shoving Obama down our throats. Even if Hillary is Obama’s running mate, I will not vote for that ticket.

Vanessa, I heard the “bump” Obama should get after Hillary exits should be double digit…..if not, they pundits said that could spell trouble. Looks like that big 6 point lead over McCain is not so much to celebrate over in Obama land.

Debra,
Good policies are what guide our country forward and bad policies set our country back and give it direction. Bad policies created the economic downturn we are in. Bad policies senselessly sent over 4,000 of our best and brightest to their deaths.
Continuing the Bush economic and Iraq War agenda as McCain wants to do will only multiply the problems our country is currently facing.
You’re right it is country first. Our country is a great country where everyone should have a shot at the American Dream, not just the wealthy and well connected.
We cannot let the current policies continue under McCain. Our Country deserves better. We all deserve better.

Mar…yup..you’re right…love us right into another 10 years of war. He almost failed when he was in military academy..he got in the senate because hs was a war hero…PLEASE…I don’t want another dawn life lost to this idiot was!!!

Sorry guys, I meant idiot war….Of course you smart ones knew what I was saying.

Answer to PT!
The polls you posted are last weeks polls!
Todays polls show a statisticak tie between Obama and McCain!
Obama has lost 4 points since last Saturday!That means some Hillary supporters went for McCain!

No.
Where do you get your polls.
Obama and McCain were tied last week. Hillary had a lead of 1 or maybe 2 at times.
Now that Hillary is gone, he leads by 6 in both the Rasmuseen Poll (more conservative poll) and the Gallup (more liberal poll)
The fact is he’s leading. Slowly but surely Clinton backers are shifting to the Obama train.

Funny how people who don’t care whether Hillary supporters post or not seem to have the most longwinded rambling posts against us.

“Automated telephone poll” whatever.

Yeah, that’s right the Hillary, who was ahead in the electorate was forced/pressured out; gee wonder why we’re angry?!

meganoreilly – it might give you pause to consider that our family is at least 18 million people. So you are right, we are only important to our family.
“We will remember – in November.”

Everytime I have interactions with BO supporters, McCAin looks better…..Keep that in mind as there are many of us!

Topher of course all of Obama’s issue are the same as Hillary. I watched the debates and all he kept say was “I agree with Sen. Clinton”

Vanessa-
This woman is shifting to Obama. And I hope that many of you will too.

Clinton supporters would do well to follow her lead. Her speech was gracious and intelligent. More than you can say for the posters on here. If you love and admire her so much, why don’t you follow her advice?

Irma, So much for the superior intellect argument.

Why do Obama supporters shout so much?
I know he pulls in the young vote but these people must be like 12 as they are so immature and it seems that their brains have not fully developed yet.

McCain is leading at every poll now!

louielouie :
Cause women do want they want— not what they are told…
Women will always do what they want….

Hillary has to politically be a team player; WE DON’T!

A party divided spells defeat for Obama. The tide is rising against the left wing of the party.

Flip-FLop #… lost count of the number
Obama Says That He Opposed Palestinian Elections In 2006. Obama: “There is no room at the negotiating table for terrorist organizations. That is why I opposed holding elections in 2006 with Hamas on the ballot. The Israelis and the Palestinian Authority warned us at the time against holding these elections, but this administration pressed ahead. And the result is a Gaza controlled by Hamas, with rockets raining down on Israel.” (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At The Annual AIPAC Policy Conference, Arlington, VA, 6/4/08)
But During His 2006 Trip To The Middle East, Obama Met With Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas And Said The Election Represented An “Opportunity…To Consolidate Behind A Single Government.” “Illinois Senator Barack Obama’s journey to the Middle East took him to the West Bank Thursday for a meeting with the man elected to replace Yasser Arafat. … ‘Part of the opportunity here with this upcoming election is to consolidate behind a single government with a single authority that can then negotiate as a reliable partner with Israel,’ said Obama.” (Chuck Goudie, “Obama Meets With Arafat’s Successor,” ABC 7 News)

What do we expect from the Lying
MSM, the Truth?
Of course now that Obama is the
presumtive nominee all of his problems with the Clinton supporters have gone
away in One Big Kumbaya Moment!
Yeah Right!
Obama, Of Course, Leads McCain by from
3-5 points nationally according to
Gallup/ABC, CBS News, NBC, Pew,
Quinnipiac etc!
We know that these organizations are
not Democrat Party Lapdogs trying to
give us the “inevitability” of Obama spin on the general Election!
Yeah Right!
Go Away Democrat Party Toadies!
When all is Said and Done John McCain
will be our next president and nothing
you say or do will change that!

irma:
They are the Democrat Party!
Look it up! It is the MSM that calls
them the Democratic Party!

WILL: take your fear mongering somewhere else. mccain was born on a US military base. the same as US territory.

Hi Cathy…sorry, that was meant to be sarcasm. I’m just using the same sort of logic that is used towards Obama.
I very much know that a Naval Base is a US territory but I just wanted to have fun with the fear-mongering logic by most (not all) Republicans.
Will

You know one thing the polls don’t take into account is how many millions of new Democratic voters Obama has mobilized compared to McCain. McCain has no grassroots organization to mobilize and recruit new voters and many conservative Libertarian leaning voters will not vote for McCain. To the disappointment of all the Republican bloggers posing as scorned Hillary supporters here, Obama’s going to win by millions in November. Get ready for change!! The government of the people, by the people and FOR the people will rise once again!!!
Obama 08

3-6 point bump in the polls for obama after hillary suspends her race and passionately endorses obama and pleads for us to support him-that is TRAGIC a measly 3-6 points.

Dukakis was ahead by 17% at this time against a very popular Republcian white house and Bush Sr.
Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry all got within the moe of 95% of the black vote.
Obama being ahead by 3% on average is 14% behind Dukakis, more experienced, and less liabilities and a better debater.
The numbers are not looking good for Obama.

I guess a Hillary supporter who is ready and willing to vote for Iraq, is not affected by the US economy, job losses, gas prices or the war in Iraq.
Odd though, isn’t it, that Obama’s position on nearly everything is the SAME as Clinton’s.
So the point of voting for McCain??
Have you heard the saying “cut your nose off to spite your fact?”
What good will come from Hillary’s supporters suddenly saying – ok, my candidate lost so now I really don’t mind the war, the gas costs, the job losses or the mortage crisis. I only cared about solving those issues when a woman was running.

Obama will cut the U.S. Military budget and use that money to improve the lives of those who live in our inner-cities. Obama will give more federal dollars to people of color. Rich white people made out under Bush. Now its our turn!

lynn the republicans and gwb did not cause these problems by themselves they were fully supported by a MAJORITY democratic congress and senate who voted in lockstep with the president.

Mack, oh I got the memo. However, it is my belief that a split in our party will lead to a win in November by Republicans and because I put my country far ahead of any party, I cannot and will not be a part of it. Look at 2004, Ralph Nadar took away just enough of the percentage and we have been saddled with George Bush every since then. Wake up people, no candidate is perfect. They all flip flop and tell you what you want to hear. But in the end I believe Obama loves his country and wants to bring a change the likes of which we may never have seen before. If your choice is to stay home, or vote for McCain or Obama. Is their really any question what is right for our country?
Country first, party second, a republican NEVER.

I have been a lifelong Democrat, until last week, when we got Hussein shoved down our throats. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, will I vote for Hussein. McCain ’08.

Clinton and all women democrats deserved better than what you people gave her and us, says Lynn.
First, not all women voted for Hillary. That’s what the women’s movement gave us, a choice. I chose differently than you. Other women did, too. Please do not speak for me.
Second, I agree that Clinton deserved better. So did Obama. Politics is nasty business. I still feel dirty from the primary campaign, don’t you?
Third, what you do with your anger is the most important question. No matter who you want to vote for in the GE, go do something positive in the world to change things for the better. Whether that is to volunteer to counsel young women or to work for a more equitable primary system in your state, use your energy to do good!

To all Hillary Clinton supporters…
If you are considering voting for McCain because you feel he is the best candidate remaining for President, God bless and go ahead. I disagree, but I can at least respect your vote. if, however, you are considering voting for McCain because Obama is the one who beat your candidate (and yes, it was fair and square), think about these things:
- How many more of our sons and daughters will die in Iraq because you threw a hissy fit in the election booth?
-How many more people will suffer due to lack of health care because of your pathetic selfishness?
- How many more people will lose their jobs, homes, and livlihoods due to the economic policies of a man who admitted he didn’t know squat about such things but won the election because you acted like 5 year old who got put on time out?
Yeah, go right ahead and vote for McCain because your candidate lost and you want to really show ‘em. Then, 4 years from now, when you are jumping up and down for Hillary Clinton to run, take a moment and consider the cost paid in human life and suffering for her having a chance in 2012. In the meantime, I hope you don’t lose your job…or home…or retirement…….or health…or a loved one…because of your fit of pique. If you do, I hope you can handle the nightmares…

My only wish is Obama NOT to pick Clinton as his VP!
This will guarantee cain victory!

My only wish is Obama NOT to pick Clinton as his VP!
This will guarantee McCain’s victory!

lynn please stop, obama will not end the war in iraq. we did not build the largest, largest in the world (larger than the vatican) embassy in iraq just to abandon it. we are invested. he may as he has said REPEATEDLY switch some of the focus to other hot zones like Afghanistan. but we will remain in the middle east. and as of lately to appease israel he is talking tough on iran as well. we will have a presence in the middle east IRAQ for decades. stop dreaming and believing that a candidate can save you. please Lord, can we raise the voting age please? some of you are going to be very, very, dissappointed if obama wins and reality hits. i love all of you anyway especially the young people involved for the first time in politics i really do but get real.

Wait till August!
After the Dem convention a shoe drop on Michelle Obama!
her racial comments against the white people will cost Obama the election!
Stay tuned , more to come!

VIVA McCain!
Richandson won’t be able to win even NV for Obama!
latinos for McCain!

louie louie, you said all the disgruntled women should go and do something positive for our country if we are Hillary supporters not voting Obama. That’s why I will be volunteering at McCain headquarters here in Los Angeles come Sept. Thanks for the inspiration.

Jennifer..and what do you call all the men (moderate Dems I know) that are not going to support Obama in Nov.? There are plenty of them out there. Don’t think this is all about just women.
COUNTRY FIRST, PARTY/PROMISES SECOND!
Go to PARTY UNITY MY ASS and check it out.

America should be a the land of opportunity. Opportunity has been denied to people of color because of the color of their skin. This is why Obama will protect and expand Affirmative Action, and why minorities are concerned about McCain eliminating Affirmative Action. America is coming around, but there are still many white Americans who discriminate against minorities because of the color of their skin. Obama will bring real change to America by using Affirmative Action to fill as many government jobs as possible to people of color. This is as it should be, since people of color is rock solid behind Obama, and they deserve to be rewarded for their unwavering support.

Deb-I have not seen them posting some of the most emotional, embarassing tantrums here. If McCain fits your policies and you feel he is best for the country then vote for him – lets try to be rational….

DeShawn…blacks = 14% US population…good luck with that. Hispanics are NOT behind BO.

“The only way a good portion of Hillary people will support Obama is if Hillary is the VP, because we support HER.”
I believe this to be true. I fervently hope that Hillary is not on the ticket with BO. I would really hate to vote against her but I will never vote for any ticket with Obama on it.
She may have to toe the line but I sure don’t.
God save America. No Obama, ever!

Based on the posts here, it looks like Obama is going to lose the votes of 5 maybe 10 bitter women or guys who like to pretend they are bitter women.

I know our savior the messiah has come to free us all from the American life style and “change” our government by adding more government and more taxes, and more control. Isn’t his hallo just a bit heavy by now. Hasn’t anyone ever seen the movie “Elmer Gantry” where Burt Lancaster played the roll of the enthusiastic gospel minister on fire to convert people through “positive” thinking—he was a con artist! I give you Barack Obama!

Two words: Electoral College

If Hillary is such a good leader why did she run such a bad campaign? She had superdelegates, money, national name recognition, and considered to be a lock for the nomination. Thus what kind of leader would she be given that she took a huge lead and advantage into the primary and lost? What would be like as a President?? All she had to do was participate in the caucuses and she would have won – just one of many mistakes a qualified leader would not make.

After 8 years of Bush, if we elect McCain then we really are a very stupid country. They have the same policies. We are not the super power we once were. We are a laughing stock. This is embarrassing and shameful that we could be making another mistake by voting for another republican.

No one called my house, or anyone I know. Pollsters are in Obama’s pocket.

I think we have learned we can not trust polls. I will never vote for Obama. Nader!

Ted, surely someone besides ABC has that tape. It must be dropped BEFORE August, as part of the vetting process. Please ABC, vet the Michelle Obama tape. It is your duty. Do not do as you did with Iraq and fail to report. The MSM is as much as responsible for our being in IRAQ as BUSH. See Bill Moyer’s/PBS searing documentary War For Sale. MSM Do not drop the ball and refuse to fully/completely vet the Obama’s before the August convention.

Irma, I agree with all your clear observations, but Obama will not get my vote mo matter the VP choice. Hillary will not be it because Caroline is one of three on the committee to pick. She is just a stand-in for Ted. A committee will make it look like it was a diligent search, but we know better. If he is drastically low in the polls later, it’s possible, but “they” do not like her.
Hillary was the best candidate, McCain second. I do not have to rubber stamp the so-called “democratic” party anymore. It’s called “don’t get angry, get even!” I am Independent and free of their convoluted rediculous process. It is a mockery of letting the people decide. I wonder how many of the wise Superdelegates got something in return.

Debra,
Yes, that’s why lots of people say, if we want McCain in the WH, he has to appoint somebody is good in economy strategy.
That woman is good. I don’t know her name. She was on one tv interview last month, I think.
Do you know, every day media talk about how Obama can get MI, NJ,PA etc..those big states Hillary won.
If they know he has problems with those states,,,why chose him. Hillary already won those states,,,it’s easier for the Dem , right?

Debra,
What? You think she has 18 million voters in her pocket? Ha, ha, I don’t think so sweetie…
Maybe a few die hard sore losers like you and the rest of the loser ex-Hillary bots left on these boards!
Didn’t you bother reading the article????
Obama/Webb 08!!!

Catleya,
I was being nice, I called you sweetie didn’t I??
Have a great tomorrow!!
Obama/Webb 08!!

Debra,
Because this time the Republican is an old bumbling fool, that can’t give a speech and can’t remember where he is half of the time.
Plus did I mention his questionable past? Let’s all talk about the “Keating 5″ and how about that flip-flopping, and that darned temper of his…
Wow and besides that how about wanting to continue a war that 80% of America is against. Oh and I forgot he wants to eliminate a womans right to choose as well…
Hmm, I just don’t know how an intelligent man like Obama is ever going to win against Grandpa Alzheimer’s and his fierce band of bloggers. That is if they can ever figure out how to “run” that new fangled computer they got from their grand kids for Christmas!
Ya, it is really going to be some match up you idiot!
Check the polls at RCP, Obama is ahead by almost 10 points and this thing is just getting started fool!!!
Ha, ha, ha, ha!!!
Obama/Webb 08!!!

Ladies the choice is simple, you will have a President that will allow you to make choices concerning your body or a President that is committed to taking those choices away.
All due Respect. If she hadn’t been married to President Clinton, Hillary Rodham doesn’t get elected anywhere. Her agenda as first lady has been shown to be overstated at best, even she stopped using it as a base of experience. She got out campaigned.

I am a 64-yr-old woman and have been an Obama supporter from the very beginning. See no reason to change. Certainly I would not for an old geezer such as grandpa McCoy. You have got to be kidding me. Are we still that dumbed down, America? I would actually pity the poor man if he weren’t such a joke.
Obama could never, ever screw us over as badly as the Repubs have and if you have 2 brain cells to rub together I need not elaborate as to how and how badly. Let me count the ways! (Heavy on the sarcasm!) Puhleeze!!

I may appear that the party is coming together when in reality, many have already left it. The only ones that will be left are the Obama supporters.

PUMA PAC – Hillary Clinton voters – all registered to protest the DNC’s handling of the Selection and not the election of obama as nominee -
Getting stronger and stronger each day.We won’t take no for an answer and will will go forward.
PUMA = Yes
Hillary Clinton – Yes

ALL moderate DEMs need to vote for a moderate candidate – that candidate is John McCain. ALL self-respecting woman need to vote for the gallant candidate who respected his female competitor, vote for John McCain. ALL veterans and patriots need to vote for John McCain. ALL who care about the unborn and yet support the states right to choice, need to vote for John McCain. ALL who want equal opportunity to purchase healthcare rather then limit the healthcare to the poor and the rich, must vote John McCain. On the other hand, if you support Rev Wrigth-style racism and black liberation theology and socialism, support nasty negative pandering campaign tactics and fear-mongering racism, higher taxes for the middle and upper class, I guess we already know you will not vote mcCain

I would like to know who they polled, too! The DNC has a surprise coming in November. Women will not sit down and shut up and take it anymore. We have husbands, sons, nephews, friends, and brothers that we are talking to as well. UNITE for the cause. Show the DNC that enough is enough. We will not support Obama under ANY circumstance.

“Are Women Shunning Obama? Pollster Says No”
I don’t know where this pollster got his information. Maybe he does his job about as well as most of the journalists did in this primary season (which is to say not well at all). I know thousands of women who were involved with the Clinton campaign who are not going to vote for Obama. Not all will vote McCain; some will write in Hillary, and some will stay home. Obama will NEVER get my vote.
