Political Punch

More telling is the fact that when the Repubs linked the Dem candidates in Ohio's special election to Hillary, they lost.

When they do to Obama, they don't.

Regarding his loss of standing in the polls, that's going to happen in an election as the negative campaigning ramps up. Point in case, the presidential elections. The numbers for Hillary and Obama have both dropped. Hillary's substantially more.

I think this election would be a sign to the Republicans that they want to run against Hillary, which they seem to already know.

Because of Obama, Democrats are winning in a Red State.

Maybe, this is a harbinger of things to come for the GOP?

Woody Jenkins has been a "values" Republican ever sense he quit being a "values" Democrat. He has been a very polarizing individual in Louisiana politics, and I'm glad he went down in flames regardless of the reason.

Was it the RNC running the ads or the Clinton campaign? You can't tell the two apart anymore.

Wake up American, the republicans want to run against Hillary because they know she'll bring out all of republicans and that's the only way they can win. Obama is the won they're afraid of.

Indiana and North Carolina, you have your chance on Tuesday to end this. Vote for Obama.

This OBAMA support group is as dishonest as Mr Obama.. False and ballant promise without any plan.. Only big word without any knowledge.. not thinking abot american.. read the message carefully.. He could have won with very big margin.. and WON inspite of republican attack to link him with OBAMA.. vote for Clinton.. vote for republican.. save America.. God bless OBAMA, Rich and his backer

The Republicans deserve to lose every seat in '08 for the mess they made and for their shear incompetence at governing. They're great at smearing opponents and calling other ungodly or unpatriotic or immoral but they're thieves and rogues and most of the hypocritical bums should be in jail. Especially their hallowed leaders Bush/Cheney and Rove.

It shows how out of touch the RNC is. Bush won this district by over 20 points. This is a red-red district. The fact that it was even close was a shocker. THe fact that he won by 3 % points shows the public - despite the GOPS's false attacks, and racist attempts at connecting Obama w/ the candidates- hates what the GOP gave them for the last 7 years.

LOVELY AND EXCITING. DEMOCRAT IS NOW CLIMBING IN THE REPUBLICAN EIGHTEEN YARD AND SHOOTING STRONGLY. IT IS A CLEAR SIGN THAT DEMOCRAT WILL WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.

GO OBAMA '08 .

It seems weird to me that I have not heard of the whole Peter Paul / Hillary Clinton scandal until today. I follow politics very closely and have for the past 8 years.

I would love to see the media investigate this more fully. I'd rather see it done now that later...

"The GOP tried to "nationalize" the election. It didn't work."

I think it would be more accurate to say that the GOP's effort to nationalize the election did work, but not in the way they had hoped.

After reading a few of the comments about Peter Paul / Hillary Clinton, I decided to do a little research on the internet and found very little. But I did find this site:

This story is new to me and it seems like it should get out - the media should at least investigate it to see if there is any merit.

It seems to me like the Right is hoping Clinton wins the nomination so they can hammer her with this in the general election.

Lessons learned: Obama has so far supported 2 congressional candidates in strong republican districts and both won. Go OBAMA!

This makes Obama 2 for 2 with candidates he supported in special elections for Congress win and both of them were in heavy republican districts. NOW WHO IS THE STRONGER CANDIDATE?

The republicans say they have values, but turn around and try and smear people. They cannot talk about nobody, the way they conduct themselves. GOD WILL NOT BLESS, MESS. they said they don't believe in abortion, but try and kill a persons character with their mouth.

Richard, the "Bush as Hitler" image will only wear off if Obama wins. No one else is saying they will restore the Constitution.
The economy is in a stranglehold of the WTO.
That will be harder to end than the Draconian anti-terrorism laws. The corporations in the US now have the rights of persons. They can now make referenda to be part of state laws. They also put up competing referenda on identical topics, when any private person attempts to rein in their power. You need 2/3 majority for a referendum to pass, so if a company puts up a competing referendum, no referendum passes. Nothing changes.
WTO will be harder to end and its control over the US than the right wing anti-terror spin.

What the NRCC doesn't point out is that there was a split in the Dem party as the losing Dem in the primary, an African American, promises to run as a n independent in November. Presumably that would have kept some of his voters from turning out for Cazayoux. Its a big win for the Dems and a big loss for the NRCC and their guilt by association, smear, win at all cost, pathetic campaigning. Not this time!!!

When the republican candidate is tied to George Bush the effect on voting is more powerful than the Obama effect. This Bush as Hoover image should wear off in about 12 to 15 years.

Well we contribute the win to any number of factors that I am not privy to.

The bet was that Obama would damage the candidate, but the fact remains what do I knowe of LA.? This man ran in a strong GOP district and won. Well I think that shook the threat of those kinds of ads.

It's the issues stupid

Can anyone please explain this story about Peter Paul Vs Hillary Clinton? It's on the blogs now. It's about stuff on fraud and campaign finance against Hillary. Who is Peter Paul? Why is no one talking about this? Isn’t this a serious issue in a general election? This has been described as the campaign finance scandal of the new millennium and no one wants to discuss it. Does America not deserve better? I leave it to you guys to decide.

This election speaks to the potential toxicity of an Obama candidacy and the possible drag he could have down-ballot this fall. We have already seen this impact another congressional race as a Democratic candidate for Congress in Mississippi is denying that he was ever endorsed by Barack Obama. In fact, he has referenced any mention of it by Republicans as an 'attack.' And, across the country, Democrats in swing districts still refuse to publicly endorse the candidacy of Barack Obama.

What part of this do you people not get?? Obama is TOXIC!!! He will cost the Dem's LOCAL seats AS well as HOUSE AND SENATE ones. Please read the above and digest the implications!

OBAMA WHO!!!
