Obama has a $40 million a month ego problem. Now he wants to go after 7 red states. Obama just doesn’t want to barely win, he wants a crushing defeat. Now how is he going to do this when the nation is generally split by voters? When he excites voter A he turns off voter B and then he needs (his ego problem) to excite voter B which then turns off voter A. That’s why McCain managed to go up 3 points (probably undecideds) and Obama is bouncing around in the polls but ultimately not getting anywhere. Now if Obama manages to turn off voter A and voter B, his campaign is doomed and that could happen.
Interesting to note is the estimated value of the propaganda proffered to Mr. Obama by the liberal-leaning media; the cost if it had been paid would have been worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Newspaper articles, reporters writing pieces on every aspect of Obama’s travels, the meetings with high level personages, and television’s over-reaching extensive coverage; literally hundreds, if not thousands of hours of prime time and cable news coverage.
Result? Absolutely nothing. No up-tick. No surge in Obama’s popularity. Why?
Here’s why:
Never mind the issues, he takes no side with any issue; he wants everyone to know that he’s on their side whatever it is — too bad the polls show Obama’s popularity is falling like a lead balloon.
As far as voters go most Americans are smarter than the press or BO’s handlers. Only the far left and the minorities are BO’s main supporters. Most Americans are more centrist to conservative. Many voters are abandoning both parties and becoming independent so the polls are mostly not even close come voting day. I wouldn’t be surprised if McCain wins by ten percentage points or more come November.

I would truly hope that we are not so lost as a nation to elect a man who reminds me of the Holiday Inn Express commercials- “No, I’m not the president, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night”
Hillary was right all along. She would have been more electable come November; but now, even if a majority of the super delegates have a sudden moment of clarity (tough for a democrat, I know), they can’t hand the nomination to her without totally alienating a large percentage of their base. Even if they go into the convention with Obie polling at 24% they’re stuck with him.
NYexpat: That’s what I liked most about the excerpt I shared from Jennifer Rubin’s piece in Commentary: “Hillary Clinton and her supporters banging their heads on their desks and emailing one another (”We told them!” “No one believed us!”)”
Hillary may have been right. She did warn everyone but few listened.
As Harriet Christian said right after “God D#$N the Democrats”…”John McCain will be the next President of the United States.”
it is going to be an intereting Democrat Convention. Now with the Messiah sating Florida votes should count, look for some fun on the floor. getthe popcorn ready.
And I would much rather have Hillary than the Obammasiah as President. But McCain is better than both, but not much better.
If Obama “gives” up the Florida and Michigan delegates, he’s only doing so because he thinks he would still have enough to win. It may be true that super-delegates may be harder to pry away from Obama, simply because they are hard encrusted liberal hacks for the Democrat party.
Note that the conservative blogs, and others, are judging Obama’s tactics now as disgusting.
For the regular delegates it’s a completely different story. All delegates to the primary Democrat convention, when voting, may change their vote without so much as a forethought or reason. The tally currently is:
Obama
1766.5 Total
– 33.5 Florida given up
– 29.5 Michigan given up
1703.5 Balance
463.0 Super Delegates
Clinton
1639.5 Total
+ 33.5 Florida gained
+ 29.5 Michigan gained
1702.5 Balance
257.0 Super Delegates
The difference is 207 Obama.
To win, then, Hillary will need to have at least 210 to 250 delegates “wake-up” and change their votes to Hillary Clinton. Come convention time, and with PUMA help (Google PUMA disgruntled, Obama enraged base voters, and Hillary voters refuse to vote Obama) this may very well be possible. I say anything to defeat Obama is fine with me.
Also keep in mind that the liberal left-wing media are trying to rekindle Obama’s character. I say the Obama character exhumation would still stink. Flush Obama down.
there are those democrats who will vote for obama because he is “their nominee”, but i have heard alot of wondering about certain things. people are wondering if he really is a citizen, if he really is a muslim, why he already thinks he is president, and why he is already getting nasty. alot of hillarys diehard base still wants her to be the nominee, they are pushing for her to knock him out. obama has gotten sneaky nasty recently, he is throwing race around and voters are starting to see he is a bit worried. when you are worried or scraed you get desperate, he is starting to get desperate. hopefully he will lose, he doesn’t even deserve to president of the pta.

The superdelegates were put in place to keep the Democratic party competative and not just pro Democratic party. Barack is spending $40 million a month just to basically stay even with McCain. Barack is just sucking the Democratic Party dry. Hillary might be seen as the cheaper alternative and therefore she may win the Democratic nomination.
…I’m surprised he isn’t posting negative support. The man has a history. LEARN IT, D@&# IT!

From what you say, it would almost seem possible that, when Obama gets to the convention, they could throw him under the bus and switch to Hillary? If so, that would energize her base, but then it would alienate too many of the “faithful” for it to be a wise strategy. I guess I just talked myself out of that idea, so nevermind.
