Mother Day Reflection on Election Campaign 2008 :
Obama and Black supportors reminisced wrestlers whose matches are pre-arranged and play by hitting under the belt theatric causing economic downturn just to win. So, stop watching American games. Obama's white supportors are insulting their own race as incompetent and incapable of managing their own country . Whether Obama will be elected his "super delegates", who endorsed at other's expense, must be sentenced to live in Black neighborhoods for more than four years to find out what they are really like. The democratic governor of Oklahoma who had just endorsed Obama must be executed for causing their supernatural tornadoes. The communication media of the U. S. are circus clowns not worth commenting on because they have never given any honest election comments. Hillary Clinton, best American candidate in history, can be identified with a unspoiling mother who has wasted her own $10 mllion just to warn her stubborn and ignorance daughter not to date strangers in the street. American voters in general are "blind" to good judgement. Happy Mother Day!

Brilliant Richard. But there's an old adage that goes something like this. "if my aunt had a male appendage, she'd be my uncle." The die is cast. The results are in and how ever it happened, come early June, Obama will have the votes he needs. It's going to be Obama versus McCain in November so let's just wait and see what the result will be. I'm sure it won't be the first time you're analysis proved errant.

I am not going to address the questions that will haunt Obama in November (should he be the Democratic nominee) about his church, his pastor, or his friends. All I will say is that, had the negative publicity which proved harmful to him when it surfaced occurred before the early primaries, a good share of the delegates he won would not be his. The more serious concern is whether he can win the White House for the Democrats.
Obama may have gotten more delegates because of shrewd strategic moves. Whatever, the strategic mistakes by the Clinton campaign, which permitted Obama to accumulate delegates, the fact still remains that there is a general election to be won, and Clinton is the candidate best able to achieve this. The superdelegates must see to it that the right choice is made in the convention.
Anti-Bush sentiment will not be enough to give the Democrats the White House if Obama is the Party's nominee. When polls show that many of Clinton's supporters will not vote for Obama, it should be taken very seriously. She has the support of the majority of the Democrats in all the states that matter for the Democrats in winning the general election. She won the Blue and the Swing States -- with the exception of Obama's home state of Illinois. To nominate Obama would be a grave mistake. More Clinton's supporters than indicated in the polls will not vote for Obama. They will vote for McCain (especially if he has an attractive VP), or stay home.
One might argue that there would also be a negative reaction to withholding the nomination from Obama. That is correct. I believe that some of his supporters will stay home. However, Obama's support is strong in the Red states, which will go for McCain anyway. In addition, one must remember that a lot of the support for Obama came from Republicans who voted for him in the Democratic primaries because they believed he would be easier to defeat than Clinton, never planning to vote for him in November.
Simply put, I cannot see Obama winning Florida, PA, Ohio, Michigan, or Indiana. Without these states, the Democrats will lose. Clinton can deliver all these states plus more. The results of the primaries proved that. Some say "yes, but he won in the Red states. He might be able to turn the Red states around." It would be foolish to give up a sure thing in order to chase after hypotheticals.

The McCain needs to focus on the split in the Democratic Party, capitalizing on states such as PA, OH, MI, and even California where huge numbers of Clinton supporters have been disenfranchised.
Clinton won the popular vote in more congressional districts than Obama. Leaving dozens of DNC Superdelegates who are now supporting Obama although their own constituents voted for Clinton.
This is the ideal election not only to stand up to and end the far-left hijacking of the executive branch, but also an unrealized opportunity to regain seats in the house.
All McCain supporters need to visit the site below and get the info into the hands of their Dem. friends.
Why hasn't the media mentioned that Hillary has won the pop. vot in more congression districts that Obama.

I want Obama to win....he's our hero....just joking.
The guy is so incompetent. Hey, he is backed by Ted Kennedy, Oprah, Rev Sharpton, Rev. Wright just to name a few.
Can you imagine.....what he will bring to DC....Hope, Change... da Future. The ignorance keeps coming. The IQ level here is 10 points above a retard and I am including his smug faced wife and theres a winner.
The choices for President are appaling.

JoJo, I would challenge you to debate the facts of Senator Obama's suitability for the Presidency and why I believe he's not only going to win, but will go down in history as one of our most effective president's ever, but I make it a policy never to get involved in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

Bradley Thomas of DC 11:42AM May 09, 2008

He is a gift to our country and our world. I am an over fifty white woman. I think a great VP for Obama is Kathleen Sibelius, governor of Kansas.
Lets all unite together and solve our problems. We can do it!

Your chart is wrong. The labels are switched.
It should have Black % first and Obama% second.

Why would I choose a candidate that wins on Slander and Pander and flip. What kind of presidential quality is that? Obama's won states where over 90% of the voters were white.
Sen. Obama's political record, associations hold high compared to McCain & Clinton. The vast majority of his fundraising is from grass-roots, not big corporations or lobby firms. His campaign will spend more because that's the mandate from his supporters.
Cudos to McCain and Clinton's experience in old-school politics and using Republican's playbook to compete.
Look at why Barack is ahead by all established accounts - he's made a winner of him, his campaign, the party, and next, the country.
