Obama is a Racist and a Marxist.
Michelle Obama hates America.
The Clintons are Liars, opportunists and Grifters.
The Socialists offer no good choices.
They are not Democrats, they are Socialists.

The Republicans offer “open borders” John McCain.

No acceptable choices here!

I voted after work…the lady at my place said it’s been steady, but not overwhelming in accordance with the article. She laughed when I told her I wanted a democrat ticket and for her to pray god to forgive me later one…lol. She literally laughed out loud.

Either way the MSM will be yelling for HC to get out of the race.

NOT that I expect it to be mentioned – let alone repeatedly – in the MSM or elsewhere, but only a few weeks ago it was reported that The Obamboozler has a 20-point margin over Hillary Clinton.

That it had dropped as of this morning to 1.5% (meaning “we don’t know,” in the pollsters’ parlance margin of error) – as I understand – is an eye-opener.

Can’t wait to see how it goes…even IF he squeaks out a minor “win” over HRC in N.C., THAT’S the LOSS OF THE PRIMARIES for me: North Carolina?!? Hillary Clinton a contender?!!!!!!!? Bwahahahhahahah……

I think Hillary may pull NC out of the hat, or at least only lose by 4%.
Polls are light, and the “real” voters haven’t voted yet, the Obama zealots have shot their wad.

I guess Barack will let people stay in their comfort zones after all.

saiga: Funny how both of these nut jobs are “uniters, not dividers”.

“Unite” means “my way or the highway.” What’s so hard to understand about that?

Oh, I wholehartedly agree with you. But there’s something more to it, given that it is very much tied to the American black church — whether or not Wright is actually representative of that institution. It becomes a race issue, a cultural issue. Consider the attitude of black culture in North Carolina during the Duke rape case. Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton could walk into nearly any black church in NC and say just about anything without fear of reprisal. If I recall correctly, they did. But now there’s a sense of unease in that stalwart of BO’s camp. They wonder, how far they can push their agenda, if indeed they have one, before they feel the rubber smacking them in the face?

She also said the place was mobbed by Obama supporters hovering just outside the ‘no campaigning’ zone.

Any exit pollsters mingling with the Obamites?

I talked to my wife who voted during the lunch hour. We live in a predominantly black district, and she said there was no wait. 2 of the voting booths were open, so she was in and out. She also said the place was mobbed by Obama supporters hovering just outside the ‘no campaigning’ zone.

Well, I voted for the first time ever (based on a promise I made myself). I will say that I am registered unaffiliated and I did not vote for McCain. That’s all I’ll say about that.

The main reason I was voting was to vote down 500 Billion dollars (half a TRILLION) in school bonds for ONE COUNTY. Illegal aliens have a way of turning our schools into day care centers. We have jail bonds too (thanks illegals). I voted NO to everything. They have enough money. . . if they didn’t waste so much money they’d have more.

I live in “The Buckle on the Bible Belt”. I would be more likely to applaud than castigate someone for denouncing his minister when that minister had performed like Mr. Wright. The thing that would turn me off isn’t the “throwing him under the bus” part, but the sitting in the pews for 20 years and giving tacit approval to him. If it were the Republican candidate, I would simply refuse to vote for him or her.

All I can say is that those 40% are gonna be real mad when Hillary “takes” the nomination.

Considering early voting was 40% black, I’d think low turnout would actually help him.

Off topic:

On this election eve, nothing like settling down with ~~a good heart warming movie~~ raw meat.

Obviously a hit piece but nonetheless totally rich and completely enjoyable.

Hillary: The Movie
Hillary The Movie Uses Hillary Rodham Clintons own words and deeds to expose her record of cynicism, controversy, and scandal. This new documentary illustrates that the politics of personal destruction is Hillary s favored approach to dealing with anyone who stands in her way. The film includes 30 in-depth interviews with experts and opinion makers.

I had a hunch this might happen. People who would have voted for Barack Obama before the latest Wright stuff incident might be staying home. Whether it’s political — they question BO’s judgement — or personal — people in the Bible belt may question casting your pastor under the bus — the world may never know.

You have to break turnout down by precinct and then factor in the early voting totals by precinct to determine if this is good or bad for Obama. Lower turnout in the African-American areas obviously wouldn’t be a good sign, but if it’s down across the board, then the reported heavy early-voting turnout among blacks in N.C. could carry him across the finish line.

If I were a Democrat, I wouldn’t be excited about voting either. It’s a choice between a liar (“I dodged sniper fire in Bosnia”) and another liar (“I wasn’t in church to hear Wright’s racist rants”.) The dems can’t come up with someone better than those two clowns?
