Obama’s Win Is Not Necessarily the Beginning of a Political Realignment

Palin and Debate Caused Poll Drop
Obama had been ahead of McCain in the polls until Palin. McCain's drop in the polls started after Palin's interview with Katie Couric. In addition, several Republicans started bashing Palin.
McCain's debate performance also lost him many voters, especially the independent voter.
McCain's reaction to the economic crisis hastened his fall in the polls, but Palin and his debate performances was enough to keep him from winning.

When Great Depression II Begins, Civil War II Also Starts. Americans love of sportmanship may have caused the nations final demise. Americans' sportsman mentality require destroying its opponents completely without giving it a chance for escape or recover. This time the Northern States are going too far which George W. Bush dare not try during his administration. Such casting our of Republicans in Congress will result in Civil War II. It s especially extremely dangerous for Obama to identify himself with A. Lincoln like using to his bible to to swear in as president. Everyone knows that Lincoln started the American Civil War I, in order to match his accomplishment Obama must and will start Civil War II. The Blagojevich case has already shown the harassing and lawlessness nature the future Obama administration which is extremely likely to cause great internal conflicts in the United States. In case of the It is incomprehensible why a person could wish for something so unlucky. As all of you have already know that Obama has already caused the American Great Depression II. In the case of the Kennedy Family, it is even worse. Joseph Kennedy Sr. had caused the Great Depression I by speculating and short-selling in Wall Street during the 1920-30s initiating the stock crashes. Today, by supporting Obama, the Kennedys have caused Great Depression II. How much more evil and damages can a family accomplish?
Barone
Again trying to rehabilitate himself. He was wrong about Clinton in the primaries, and again wrong about McCain in the general. In both cases right up to the end - even after all others saw the inevitable conclusion.
The only reason his previously wrong predictions escape scrutiny now is that he's never been right, and thus hasn't earned any measure of credibility warranting public scorn and ridicule.
When will USNWR finally give this guy the boot and stop wasting print? His predictions have a worse track record than the proverbial broken clock. You'd think a highly paid journalist could do better than 50/50, but Barone seems to have a problem besting 0/100.

No Surprise Here
During the election I sat open-mouthed over the fact that up until the last minute, undecided voters still abounded.
One of the most telling moments for myself was watching the debate on CNN with the undecided voters using the plus/minus device which gauged how they felt about what either candidate was saying at the moment. There were moments when the meter went high for both candidates despite the fact that the intellectual ideas expressed were polar opposites!
The only thing I could figure was that these undecided voters were the 'emotional push button' types.
It really made NO sense at all. The only thing that seemed to determine a positive or negative reading was HOW the politicians spoke. I also noticed that whenever the politician spoke in patriotic terms.. the meter went sky high.
Unfortunately, these types are here to stay and unfortunately it brings down the intellectual discourse to the mentality of a school rally. Probably not what the founding fathers intended- But hey, this is a democratic republic and this is what it's become. At least we can express ourselves no matter how dumb we are.
MY money
More people DONATED money to his campaign, by large margins. This was a broad base of support, with a very large number of small donations. Fewer than 47% his donors gave more than $1000, compared to 60% of McCain and Bush donors giving more than $1000. (Source: http://www.cfinst.org/pr/prRelease.aspx?ReleaseID=216)
The large number of donors indicates that there's something more permanent at play than the direction of the wind.
I knocked on doors during the campain and found two categories of voters (without revealing the identity of the candidate I was working for):
1-Enthusiastic Obama supporters.
2-Reluctant McCain supporters.
Perhaps another candidate would've done better than McCain, but I don't see how.

Clinton Administration #3
The change promised by Obama is merely an old rehash of Clintonites appointed into leadership positions.
The American people are tired of seeing & hearing about the Clintons again for another 4 years.
Enough already!
Ignoring Africa?
If you're so ignorant that you think President Bush, THE most supportive president of African affairs and who single-handedly saved and aided the lives of TENs of MILLIONS of those in that country who suffered from AIDs and various other diseases, living conditions spent 8 years "ignoring" Africa..
You're on the internet, posting on a news site from a state in the USA. What in the WORLD is your excuse for being so blatantly ignorant of your own president?
Here, I'll save you the trouble. Examine this link to educate yourself about Bush's "ignoring" of Africa.

You people are so caught up in the Hate Echo-chamber that you've forgotten how to examine things for yourselves. If we're to get ourselves out of the mess we're in, the LEAST you can do is examine OFFICIAL sources before posting about topics.
Vote smart, folks.
Christmas tree of NY. Tell me the great things BUSH and the Repulican party have done in the past 8 years outside of ignoring Africa, starting wars and increasing government and deficit spending. Obama won bc, quite frankly, he wasnt a Republican whose motto is "if its broke, dont fix it (throw some Bush stank on that accent)". He won bc he is smart and America is tiring of your old fashioned politics. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, cant get fooled again.
