Bitter as hell in Pennsylvania

Folks agree with Barack Obama in at least one Pennsylvania trailer park. But will angry voters help or hurt Democrats in swing states this fall?

    why obama will lose in november if he gets the nomination

    1. the truly illogical and incomprehensible democratic

    caucus voting system will not be used (hillary wins

    the popular vote in texas and nevada but obama gets

    more caucus votes?)

    2. omitting florida and michigan (despite obama's wish

    to ignore them their votes will not be ignored in

    november......latest poll from rasmussen reports

    telephone survey in florida shows mccain attracting

    53% of the vote while obama earns 38%, If mccain is

    matched against hillary clinton, the race is a

    toss-up—clinton 45% mccain 44%.).

    3. obama's nearly 90% support from the african

    american community means alot in the democratic

    primary because they make up 20.1% of voters however

    it will mean much less in the national election when

    african american voters make up less than half that amount.

    4. obama's relationship with rev. "god damn america" wright and his recent "bitter"

    comments may not bother the democrats who support him but they will certainly

    have an effect on independents and republicans.

    5. the incredible anti clinton bias of the media won't be there to help
