Obama is the most unqualified Presidential candidate in the history of the United States.

That’s sort of a first too, right?

For all the press is building Obie up, I am finding Obama is ‘he-who-cannot-be named’ among working class people where I live. This is the first Presidential election in my life where zero people are mentioning there is an election. Occasionally I get the furtive glance followed by a couple whispered remarks about his disqualification to be President

The guy has black racist-nationalist connections through his Church of choice. He has muslim connections through his family. He has anti-American radical hippie-overthrow the government connections through his choice of friends. His wife is ashamed of America (first impressions are the only impressions that count on patriotism).

All these negatives are magnified by his fuzzy denials of the anti-American parts and reluctant embracing of normal American values

But, the press says he is another Kennedy and the black community hints the election is rigged if Obie is not elected.

So no one says a word. The resentments are internalized and the distaste for the most distasteful candidate in my memory is building, not receding

The politically correct watchdogs have made it clear to the public that they cannot speak their minds about Obie, so the public is eating it.

Do not mistake silence for agreement, or contentment

Remember that mb4’s solipsism

The mere fact that I respond to the postings and comments of others, and quite often I might add, in and of itself, demonstrates the fallacy of your claim. And then there is, of course, much to the consternation of some I might add, all the quoting that I do.

Remember that mb4’s solipsism is grounded in his/hers ability to refrain from dignifying Obama’s childlike “dreams” while maintaining their partys ideological differences which makes mb4 a true adversary.

So you are completely ignorant of past elections polling data from this early in the cycle that always had the party out of power ahead by a large margin?

You might want to know what you are talking about when you call someone ignorant. Just a suggestion.

Always?

I don’t seem to recall that being the case with the Reagan/Carter presidential race.

Maybe you are ignorant of that race?

Cap and trade, higher taxes, manmade global baloney, wide open borders, all proven loosers but both candidates dance dangerously with these failed policies.

And then theres’ the non-racist 90+ % of the black vote the 1/2 black will get.

Almost nine in 10 Republicans now support McCain

Can someone make me a t-shirt that simply says 1/10? I’m willing to bet I’m not the only one who would wear it.

Independents will decide this one.

fogw, I believe youth will actually show ub, but others will tell pollsters one thing and vote the opposite. This will include many of Hillary’s supporters, and many other democrats.

I believe in this cycle the pollsters will never have it right as no sane person is going to tell them the truth.

On a night, early this Nov. many in this country and the world will either have a Gargantuan orgasm, or cry hysterically. Either will be bad for us all. It’s going to be ugly.

Barack and Michelle Obama will have set back racial relations more than anyone in the last 30 years, win or lose.

In the RCP averages Obama is 4 points ahead of McCain.

This is good news for Republicans?

What will it be on election night/morning after?

Good news: Obama’s expected landslide didn’t materialize as he only beat McCain by a few percentage points and Democrats only picked up 4 senate seats?

Obama is the most unqualified Presidential candidate in the history of the United States.

I would argue that point, I think that one belongs to Chet Arthur. But I guess he was only a VP candidate.

The fact remains that a majority of Americans are now Socialists and Communists.

OhEssYouCowboys on June 17, 2008 at 3:11 PM

.

This is not fact or even close to it. This is frustration on your part that you don’t have a candidate that you like. Most Americans are not Socialists or Communists. If they were this would be an election between Obama and Huckabee with Obama leading by 40 points in the polls.

MB4 on June 17, 2008 at 4:05 PM

Hey, I’ll take that. Better than getting destroyed, and if they pick up 4 seats, the DNC won’t have a veto proof majority.

I want to believe the public’s made a considered judgment and found, like Karl, that “Obama’s record, judgment and message are at best entirely undistinguished in the field of presidential politics,” but I actually believe they’re simply not paying much attention yet.

You are right AP in that the middle isn’t paying much attention right now and that is nothing new. But Bamby should have a 10 to 20 point lead on McCain considering how history usually works when it comes to this early polling data. The fact that a large chunk of voters whose initial response should be to pick the candidate who would be a change of party are not doing so before they start paying any real attention does not bode well for Bamby. Carter had a 30 point lead only a few months before the election in 76 before winning by two points. Bamby needs a buffer early as well if he wants to win.

If McCain loses this election it is not going to be because he didn’t campaign hard enough, it’s going to be because of George W. Bush.

rockmom on June 17, 2008 at 3:51 PM

Your opinion, or the opposition’s that McCain is Bush III?

rockmom on June 17, 2008 at 3:51 PM

That’s great to hear. I live in Southern California, which we all know is a foregone conclusion for the Obamacrats. I don’t expect much local action here, but what I have seen in the national stage (MSM/Hotair/Drudge/Rush/Michelle/Etc.) is that Obama’s facetime trumps McCain’s. Great news about the activity you’re seeing though, I just hope it spreads.

Obama’s big surprise package we’ll be delivered on election day. That’s when the his masses of hyped-up college students, who drooled over him at his campaign rallies, won’t bother to show up at the voting booths.
fogw on June 17, 2008 at 3:49 PM

Ahh, the highly coveted “stoned slacker vote.” I doubt that they will put down the bong and vote for Obama in much numbers. Just ask John Kerry.

What will it be on election night/morning after?

MB4 on June 17, 2008 at 4:05 PM

How about McCain wins by 2% despite losing by 4% in exit polls due to … wait for it … RACISM.

I actually believe they’re simply not paying much attention yet.

That would be my guess also, though this was a pretty high profile Democratic campaign. O! hasn’t clinched it with Dems, but still has time to demonize Maverick as McSame.

I like this analogy of Obama being a Post Turtle:

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.

The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, Obama is a post turtle’. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was. The old rancher said, ”When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’.”

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. ”You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there.”

Believe it or not, the way the Liberal Elite treated Hillary was pretty disgusting. An Obama/Hillary ticket would be the only way to bridge the divide. If he doesn’t, well, it’s McCain ‘08 – it’ll be the first time I vote for any Republican.

jtorres138 on June 17, 2008 at 3:34 PM

I’m a Republican but I sure do believe it. The Liberal Elite’s treatment of Hillary was vile and difficult to watch and her treatment by the “netroots” was even worse. I thought Hillary handled it with considerable grace though. I regarded her with considerable respect by the end of the campaign.

Welcome to the McCain camp. Those of us who support him are glad to have you.

This is good news for Republicans?

He’s like Jimmy Carter without the Annapolis experience.
