Every day a new poll shows him bleeding out, losing support with key constituencies. He's got the Dem nomination, but he's a dead man walking in November. Happy days are here again!
They're happy to destroy their own party out of some fantasy of ideological purity. They are sick and insane. And they have found their perfect candidate--a clueless, preening nitwit who can sometimes (when the teleprompter works) make pretty speeches but who no one in their right mind could ever imagine actually being President of the United States.
They have found their sacred god, and they will go to hell with him. Thank goodness the Dems are such witless voters. A safe white male candidate (like Gore or Edwards) would win this year in a landslide. Instead, they want to make history with an inexperienced radical like Obama or a flawed hack like Clinton. Good luck, suckers!
So go! (Down the can with your candidate!)
how a frontrunner with all the advantages (money, delegate lead) could lose Indiana by double digits and only squeak out a 4 point win in NC. Until then, keep on sipping the koolaid. You need it bad.
You can't admit the truth--that Obama is toast. And of course he is, as anyone but a crazed koolaid drinking liberal can see. To watch him go down in flames will be one of the highlights of the year. You Dems deserve it for nominating such a moronic candidate.
Still as dumb as ever I see. No little jingle for us today? Has your tiny brain run out already?
is that the Dem Party is full of idiots--like you, who think a super-liberal radical black man can be elected president. Bye bye Dems! Seeya, Obama!
Better get him ready to run against McCain given how Hillary and Obama are bloodying each other up. Neither may be left standing soon. It's really priceless. Only the Dems could figure out how to screw up this election, but they have, they have...
to watch your favored candidate imploding so horribly. But I must admit, I find it so sweet.

On the first day of the survey, Clinton held a 2 percent lead -- 45 percent to 43 percent, despite a 20-point lead for Obama among male respondents. Each day, more respondents supported Clinton.
By the last day of polling, Clinton took 4 percent lead among men -- 45 percent to 41 percent -- representing a staggering 24-point swing.
Over the four days in which the survey was conducted, the controversy involving the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's former pastor, swelled.
"In that window, he dominated all the political news in the presidential race," said Jeff Lewis, TeleResearch CEO. "In that period of time, Obama's lead among men went from a 20 point lead on Friday ... to a four point lead for Sen. Clinton."
"This runs counter to earlier polls from Fox News and the Associated Press, which showed Hillary doing better than Obama against McCain among independents."
The poll you're hanging your hat on is an outlier. Obama is DONE. Wright has crucified him. HOORAY!
I am DELIGHTED that Obama will be the Dem candidate given how he's now poison for white working class voters, who will race to McCain. It is GLORIOUS news! Let's hope the Dems don't get some sense and give the nomination to Clinton!

Barack Obama is suffering a serious erosion in his support among white working class Dem primary voters, the new Pew Research poll finds.
A month ago, Hillary held a 50%-40% advantage among white Democratic voters with a high school degree or less. Today, after the Pennsylvania result and the latest flare-up by Jeremiah Wright, it's a 65%-25% win for Hillary among this same group.
Among white Dems making less than $50,000 per year, Hillary leads 58%-34%, up from a 47%-45% lead a month ago.
Pew still has Obama ahead in a statistical dead heat with a 47%-45% lead, but that's down from his 49%-39% lead last month. (Sample size: 651 Democratic voters and Dem-leaners. Margin of error: ±4.5%)
You throw around words like "racist" as you sip your Chablis in your BMW. May a tidal wave wash you out to sea.
The well has been poisoned with those voters forever. And Obama has no one to blame but himself.
and is never seen again.
He is desperate and rapidly destroying himself.
when every night she eats little black children before she goes to bed, crunching their bones in her talons and cackling hideously.
Has there been a candidate for President with a lighter CV ever?
From years and years of working the streets.
What a silly clown.
and the Obama campaign knows it.
The egomaniac Wright has just been directly insulted by Obama. I predict he'll be on every show that will have him for the next week explaining what a cynical politician Obama is.
You idiot.
Jewish people do not want to nuke anyone. You're disgusting.
made me amazed how liberal Dems could be so clueless as to select such a shallow, unformed character as their candidate. Then, I remembered Mike Dukakis.
I am for McCain, who after this Wright fiasco is going to feast on Obama's liver with great relish in the general. It's fabulous to see!
He only speaks out against Wright's racism when it threatens his candidacy. Otherwise, as Wright himself implied, he's fine with it. Sad, but typical of a slimy pol.
who was my spiritual adviser, presided at my wedding, and gave me inspiration for twenty years. Nothing to see here.
that I heard my former pastor saying the things he's been saying for the past twenty years! It's an outrage!
yawn. fart.
and Wright is such an egomaniac that he won't take that sitting down. This is going to get even uglier! Hooray!
As proven by AJCalhoun's invocation of Tuskeegee. These are Obama's best friends--they're going to make him seem like a nitwit to mainstream Americans. No wonder he's going on Fox trying to distance himself from these loonies.
