No, he isn't.

It's quite possible that Republican installed Hoffa will tell the teamsters to vote for Obama - and more than likely they will recognize how stupid it would be. The only ones supporting Obama in Pennsylvania are Republicans and the ever stupid latte left (who do it because they LOVE to lose and play "loyal opposition" and have the luxury of being able to afford to).

So Obama's HYPOTHETICAL (hypothetical of course was the keyword to anyone with an ounce of sense) lead over McCain has now evaporated. Wonder how his obnoxious supporters will rationalize this one now. After all they, ridiculously, were insisting he was the more "electable" candidate up to this point using that ridiculously unscientific phoney poll.

CNN: Barack Obama's once double-digit lead over John McCain in a hypothetical match-up has evaporated, according to a just released Associated Press poll.

To ever vile "Manos99:"

Ah, good morning Manos. Another day off for you, huh? You must be up bright and early at the zoo.

As for eating friskies, seems to me that's EXACTLY what the Obamateur left the poor of Chicago to do - all as he arranged for a palace for himself and his vulgar wife with much help from his Syrian criminal buddy.

And you better PRAY that it wasn't Obama's vulgar criminal supporters that set fire set in Mrs. Clinton's Indiana campaign headquarters. Because if it turns out so, I'll personally start "Democrats for McCain" in Illinois to ensure the Obamateur's ultimate humiliation is that he loses even his own home state.

Prepare to have your buck-toothed face firmly rubbed in the brown stuff you've been leaving all over the board.

Barrack Pinnochio

True, he probably would have dsent him to meet with the Canadian government on Nafta.

Meanwhile the Obamateur couldn't get rid of a convicted criminal like Resko or get rid of a corporate schister like Axelrod. And he couldn't leave a church with a ranting bigot at the helm.

He couldn't do any of this all while he was busily writing the entire TWO pieces of legislature he ever initated in Chicago.

No doubt.

He's got nutroots and black biggots crawling like maggots everywhere.

Unfortunately as we saw in 2004 they haven't figured out how to turn it into a win outside of nutroot districts like Berkeley and Burlington Vermont no matter how much diskspace they waste and how much money they raise and waste.

@ElectoRobot

I can tell you from the heartland that like Dean, even worse, the only thing Obama and his vulgar, nutty supporters are doing is ensuring high turnout to vote AGAINST him.

The net result is not only going to be that Obama rides back to Lakeshore with Oprah in November, but that the Dems lose Congress for another 16 years.

@Manos - on art. <smirk>

I prefer discussion of art over politics any day

We can only pray that your artistic presentations are far far more articulate than the pigpen caricature of yourself you've so far presented.

Or are you Tom Payne now?

Several have replied to my earlier post ("Glass houses") -- while it's true Rev. Wright is no longer at that church, and has apparently resigned completely from the Obama campaign, that resignation didn't occur until L'affaire Wright broke wide open. Once this all surfaced, Sen. Obama talked and bought time until he finally said, knowing what he knows now, he'd have left the church if Wright hadn't already retired.

Exactly. It's at least as believable as the obamateur's fawning ignorance about how his second highest campaign worker just happened to be in Canada giving a big personal wink to the govt there the same time that the Obamateur was down in Ohio trashing NAFTA.

At least as believable as someone who has nuclear icon AXELROD running his campaign feigning outrage about Penn.

On electoral maps and buck-toothed idiots

Again, I should say, anyone who actually thinks that Obama cannot win the big blue states, California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, et al, simply because Clinton won them in the primary, is a complete and total idiot. In the same way that if Hillary was the nominee she will win Illinois, Wisconsin, and Connecticut.

Because, Einstein, he lost California with a 20% margin in just the Democratic primary. He lost the hispanic vote by over 70% in both CA and NJ and he fares poor with elderly voters and Catholics - also instrumental in NJ and Mass.

Grow up and research "important Democratic constituencies". You won't win an election even in NY and CA with a bunch of fringe left college kids and their liberal parents sputtering and foaming at the mouth.

I might add

McCain just surpassed Obama in the latest Gallup polls, is closing the gender gap and leads among swing voters over Obama by over 40% already.

So much for that big national appeal the Obamateur had then. But that's what you get when you let Ted Kennedy and moveon.org pick your candidate.

Void of all critical thinking

But the final pre-primary figures for Blair County, in which Altoona is the largest city, show that Democratic enrollment has increased by more than 2,000 voters since November 2007, while GOP support has dropped by more than 600 registrants.)

Now anyone with an ounce of critical thinking skills would have "Warning Doctor Smith" lights flashing all over their brain waves by now.

Of course that wouldn't include Obama's genuine supporters.

Silly Obamateur's

70% of the Democratic vote is working white women; not San Francisco liberals.

Without Hillary they will go McCain. No question. Will NOT have Obama shoved down their throats by Latte liberals and vulgar college kids.

Not to me they're not.

I don't need a gun because I'm bitter. I've been hunting since I was 17.

I don't need God because I'm bitter. My family has always taught respect for the Lord and how to find peace through God.

The Obamateur and his vulgar, unhinged supporters being condescending to the rest of us is actually hilarious. They're all so fringey and they don't even see it. But make comments like this ALL the time about normal Americans and then the fringe left wonders why they're universally despised.
