The last time that was a significant demographic group was about fifty years ago, correct?
57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - LIAR, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Seems Mr. Auchi may have helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before Obama had millions of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free to be taken over by special interests such as him.
58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright’s, that have been in videos all day, You Tube - LIAR! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said “Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did.”
59.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - LIAR. Your own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked into your records. PS - You had them look into yours to hide the fact you looked into Clinton’s and McCain’s more than a year before!
60.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - LIAR. Rev. Meeks appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise money, then AND NOW. PS - He also seems to despise America.
61.) My wife didn’t mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase - LIAR. Again, MicHELLe’s comments perfectly sync with Wright’s, Meeks’, and Farrakhans, both in language, anger, and direction.
62.) I am very Anti-Terror - LIAR. One of your good pals is long time radical and terrorist William Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed khalid
63.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - LIAR. You and your campaign buddy Penny SubPrime Bank Collapse Prizker have had your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103 from the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395 from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600 from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but certainly NOT LEAST - Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a dream, eh?
I think, though, that this is where Rev. Jeremiah Wright's comments will hurt him the most. The comments didn't crop up until after Ohio, and Ohio's demographics are similar to those in Pennsylvania.
He may not even lock up the Black vote in Pennsylvania's urban areas, at least not in Philly, so where he might help himself with his attempt to shmooze with 'blue-collar' guys (and gals), he's now going to have to balance Rev. Wright's toxic comments among Black voters and others who like and support Michael Nutter.
Hmmm..the last time we had a president who was a working class hero was probably FDR, and he only became one after becoming president.
Probably the best thing for Obama is to convince voters in PA that he can listen to them and understand their problems. On her own, Clinton has a lousy ground game, but she has the Rendell machine behind her, so Casey's endorsement is big. Together with his own very superior ground game, Obama will do better than the current polls indicate, and he has consistently closed the gap even when he started far behind.
In Ohio and Texas, take away the Limbaugh effect, and Clinton did not do as well as she would like us to believe. My understanding is the PA is a closed primary, so the Limbaugh Operation Chaos may not be a big factor. And given Hillary's current truthiness and funding problems, Obama has a good chance of keeping Hillary's margin close to or less than 10%. Truth to tell, money is Clinton's biggest obstacle right now, not Obama.
I may be whistling in the dark but if Obama is not thrown offstride by new crises, he may even pull an upset and take Pennsylvania. That would almost certainly persuade Clinton to pack it in. In the meantime, he should try to engage in a few pick up basketball games in public venues. Bowling is apparently not his game.
lolcait is little more than a parrot trained to regurgitate this bulls**t whenever the word "Obama" is whispered.
It would seem so.
Not to lolcait -- you need to relax. Go bowling. Drink a non-designer beer.
NOT the Clintons, who have been smeared in a horribly underhanded way. Hope Obama and those who do his dirty work are really proud of themselves for wreaking so much damage on the Democratic party and kneecapping Hillary Clinton with their ugly treachery. Anyone with half a brain cell could see what was going on. It's a story which could hide in plain sight only so long.
So, salon.com, where have YOU been on this one?

_race_card.html
It wouldn't be likely or easy, but if recent polling is accurate, Obama has enough strength among educated, white-collar voters in Nevada, Colorado, and Virginia to offset the loss of "blue-collar" states OH and PA.
So for example, if Obama won all of Kerry's states from 2004 (except for PA) plus NV, CO, NM, IA, and VA (all five states in which Obama ties or beats McCain in head-to-head matches), he'd win the EC vote 270-268.
Don't get me wrong. I'm confident Obama would take PA in the fall against McCain. But Obama's strengths move outside the standard "red/blue" divisions. This flexible appeal means the electoral map is much more favorable to Dems this cycle -- IF Obama is the nominee.
Just as predicted, the klan's "lady" auxiliary comes blithering on. Can shawnie boy the pawn be far behind (usually at this time of day he's right behind a sheep). Come on, race baiters. Let's see if you have something new. the Gallup daily tracking poll, speaking of new, shows Billary fading. what a shocker. Go knit a noose or whatever you virulent racists do for fun now that cross burnings and lynchings seem to be passe. love heywood
