Don't you just cringe a little when Obama speaks about patriotism? Every time he says something like this, I can't help but think of Rev. Wright and all the other associations.

It's going to be a bumpy ride. Just like Obama and his supporters have no respect for either of the Clintons, Obama doesn't respect McCain and the feeling is, I'm sure, likewise mutual.

McCain's version of the GI Bill will be substantially greater for amazing American VETS. As usual Obama is pandering and lying. He knows nothing of patriotism.
McCain 08!!!

Typed too fast.

"shold" = should
"ever" = every

Just how many veterans turned out for Obama? I hope they were at least polite to someone who has dissed them at every occasion.

I think W. Virginians can recognize a phony when they see one.

He should also downplay any expectation of real change too.

The true will prevail in G.E.
Obama will be defeated in november
by a landslide.
No ultra left wing anti-american liberal
ever won the white house.
In november the blacks,the radicals
NO longer will control the agenda.
Americans IN G.E. will say NO OBAMA.

Nicholas, you can't face it man, that we will have a Black President for the first time in the USA....Everyone will say YES to Obama to be part of this HISTORY, so do not miss out on this man.....
The question about patriotism is absurd..We call ourselves PATRIOT, yet we destroy other people's lives in other countries. Rev Wright was a marine and served this country, but when he tells the truth about the policies of this country's administration he is UNPATRIOTIC...Do you guys here ever wonder why so many countries hated America, and for all your patriotism, you cannot change this????????????????

It is really sad to me that so many of the Obama supporters are reverse-racists. No matter what our stated reason is for not voting for Obama, we're accused of being racist. Well, I'll tell you, I am in an interracial relationship and I will NOT under any circumstances vote for Obama. We've already had one Presidential candidate tell us one thing in the primaries and then do the exact opposite once he got into power. I am a lifelong Democrat and I will vote for McCain over Obama, at least with McCain, we know we're getting a centrist. Superdelegates: beware, people like me are a growing majority! Go ahead and call me racist...that's what the Obama campaign likes to do. Well, you can scream it from the top of your lungs...but that still doesn't make it the truth.

Which Democratic candidate is more electable?

Consider this:

This is how the Electoral College stands as of April 23, 2008, showing strengths of Clinton vs. Obama, based on their performance thus far.

This assumes a winner-take-all primary/caucus vote takes all Electoral votes for each state. The totals immediately below are WITHOUT any consideration of the states of Florida and Michigan.

Clinton 261

Obama 181

But with Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 305

Obama 181

Assuming the following victories, based on current polls, with Clinton winning Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Obama winning North Carolina, South Dakota, Oregon (which is doubtful), and Montana, the totals would then be, still without Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 285

Obama 209

Even with a victory for Obama in Indiana, the totals would be, still without Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 274

Obama 220

Please note that it takes 270 Electoral College votes to win the General Election.

Whether or not the vote turns out as indicated, I firmly believe the above analysis more than amply demonstrates which of the Democratic candidates is in a better position to be the stronger candidate in the General Election.

Popular vote as of May 12, 2008

These figures INCLUDE Florida and Michigan, as they were fairly and legitimately earned by Senator Hillary Clinton, and have been validated by the respective Secretary’s of State.

Obama 16,506,455
Clinton 16,418,979

Total Diff. +87,476 (Obama)

Pct. Diff. +0.26% (Obama)

So, why SHOULD Hillary quit NOW?

Who do you think will be leading after next Tuesday?

Hint - See below:

Combined population of Oregon, Montana and South Dakota = 5,173,438

Combined population of West Virginia, Kentucky and Puerto Rico = 9,894,803

You cannot claim that Obama would not win any states that HRC won in the primaries. It is not true.
Any DEM count win NY and CAL. After all, HRC rigged the NY election. Look it up. He won zero votes in 82 precincts, in NYC, including HARLEM!!!

No one believes that election was not rigged.
The police who entered the data said in their defense, ummm, we must have made a mistake. Sure.

You cannot claim that either candidate who won a state in the primary would carry that state in the fall. All you have is that MICH and Florida dont count because HRC's people voted in the DNC committee NOT to count them. If HRC had approved MICH to count, everyone would have run heated contests there and the same is true for Florida.
Why do HRC's people prattle to you about counting MICH since they voted months ago, not to count it?
Could it be that changing the rules is the only way they can win now? Too bad. Sore losers.
Try this on and see how it fits:
THOU SHALL NOT BEAT FALSE WITNESS.

FIXING TYPO'S

And why is NH first anyway? Wanna know?
So you dont have to be rich or famous to be in the race. That's in the document HRC's people signed when they voted not to count MICH.
Stop helping them to lie about MICH.
It is unseemly. Thou shall not bear false witness.

Yavo. You are wrong on the facts. The votes of supers are votes, one each, not endorsements. And presently Obama has more super's pledged votes than HRC and after May 20th or maybe after June 3rd, he will have a lead she can never catch in elected delegates too.

Hillary and McCain both voted for Bush's unjust war that has costed thousands of American lives and billions of dollars. Hillary has blatantly lied to voters. McCains involvement in the Keating 5 scandal costed taxpayers 3.4 billion dollars. None of your strategies, statistical numbers or racist undertones for Hillary or McCain mean more than these facts.

Obama '08

I just remember the words of Rev.wright , The white rich people run this country,..
I think if Obama becomes the president, it would be the same.
All billionaires are behind him, his contributors come from rich people.
The only different is he is the president.

I am a first generation immigrant. The home country was/is run by a dictatorship regime.

Every time they wanted to gag the opposition they'd say they are not patriotic. They’re enemies’ spies and other nonsense of that kind.

It's funny that here in US we have the same problem. Criticize the US government wars then you're labeled unpatriotic.

Same nonsense, different mobs.

People know better. Don't waste your time.

Yavo Lem,

Excellent post..

Hillary 08!

Joe,

If we are talking about whose problem related to race, it's never end.
Think about this, majority black people don't vote for Hillary.
If you think WVA,KY don't vote for Obama and is not his problem, that should be the same case to Hillary.

Hillary has run a very respectable campaign and has received a very respectable amount of votes.

That is without the 92% of the black votes.
That tells you that Hillary doesn't need all that crap about the black votes.

When OBAMA brags about the new voters that he brought in, it actually pales in comparison with Hillary. He is out of touch with the world.

OBAMA's world is of 57 states and MAMA's world is of 50 states.

The only way that OBAMA can get his popularity is from the +7 states that he brought to America.
