@manny - problem for the obamateur:

Obama's big mistake is that he never scored that big knockout blow -- California, New York or Ohio would have done it. ...

Well, see there are realist and adults in these states. Hispanics, elderly, working class folks who understand what's at stake.

Whereas when Obama runs in Idaho and the only Democrats are college students he wins hands down. When he runs in South Carolina where 85% of the Democrats are black finally happy to be able to vote for "da man", he wins hands down. When he runs in Texas and Pennsylvania where Rush Limbaugh and the radical right have been encouraging Republicans to vote for him than he at least comes close.

But in states that are any measure of what would come in November, such as New Jersey and CAlifornia and Florida - really really bad news for the Obamateur and for the Dems if he's shoved down our throats by the loser leftwingers.

Yes.

Do you really think that the number one issue in the black community, in SC or any other state is the race of the candidate?

Yes. Furthermore since they themselves admit it, what's there to argue about?

See? This is how the left does itself in. While it's peachy okay for blacks to vote for their man and accuse the most black friendly administration in US history of being "racist", , then when if Hillary wins it's the 'Bradley effect'. Nobody could possibly be offended by the obnoxious Obama campaign and supporters who have run the most divisive, dishonest campaign I have ever seen a Dem launch while trying to project it onto their opponents. Nobody could possibly have legitmate concerns about his weak resume and his eyebrow raising associations. Nobody could just recognize the country is crumbling to ashes and remember that the Clintons successfully pulled us out of the first Bush meltdown and created surpluses and 23 million good paying jobs in the private sector. Nobody could logic that while the race was statstically 3-way heat, the Republicans had already done the damage they could do to Hillary whereas they were just starting on Obama and recognize she'd beaten the Republicans every time and was the most likely to.

No, No, we all must be RACIST RUBES!!!!!!!!!!

This is the hypocrisy that makes the hard left despised across 80-90% of America.

Re: Obama and the L word

Obama may not be a liberal. I personally believe he's a schister that will do whatever gets him the most financial gain.

I don't see where he ever did anything for the poor of Chicago for example, or where anyone at all in Illinois was left better off on his road to fame.

Nonetheless the facts are he has run to the hard left and pandered to every hard leftist extremist in his campaign. So he will easily be portrayed as one regardless of if he is or not. That combined with his indonesian history, pictures in muslim garb, associations with domestic terrorists and perceived or real ties to foreign terrorists, shady business dealings, vulgar wife, looney mother, etc, are all going to make for a very easy November for the Republicans.

So true!

You don’t go after a popular Republican president unless you want your head handed back to you. The right wing won’t have it. They are organized and they are ruthless. Rush tells his minions to vote in a Democratic primary and they do it with nary a second thought. They protest and petition and boycott.

Yes, all that. And they also LEARN from their mistakes. Something the left never ever does.

Moveon.org and the Nut roots

Hillary's correct about Moveon.org. They've long outlived their usefullness. Talk about elitist. They've done nothing and been ntohing but a collection of latte liberals and bathroom bloggers bitching about Iraq while the rest of America worried about going into foreclosure.

Talk about being out of touch. HOw much money have they wasted now on Dean, on the clown they were going to replace Liberman with, that ridiculous roadshow of hiring ex-felons to "get out the vote" in 2004 (which I think ended up costing them a few hundred thousand in penalties because something was illegal about it), on commercials in 2004 which did nothing.

And now in foisting Obama the loser on us.

The netroots is the nutroots.

LOL.

Clowns.

Lost irony.

"Clinton gets hammered for every lie because she's a habitual liar. And unlikable, too. Duh."

Oh, of course! And Obama is getting hammered for every elitist remark he makes because he's a big elitist. And John Kerry was hammered for every un-American thing he did because he's un-American. And Al Gore was hammered for evey big fat lie he told because he's a big fat liar. Its so obvious! Thanks for straightening that out.

And McCain, of course, has been praised far and wide as a straight-shooter because he ALWAYS tells it like it is. And Bush was portrayed as a down to earth, plain spoken man of the people because - obviously - thats what he is. Its all so clear now.

Should be post of the year. Not that the vulgar obamateur's can understand the irony they so well portray mind you.
