Told you…all along I prayed that we would face Obamamessiah. Billary would have been impossible. Now for the most fun lets hope that the Democrats nominate Hillary because they have figured out that Messiah is toast. The Black vote will evaporate and we might get the Senate back…weeee this is a fun election cycle.

Zogby also says that Obama lost ground in the Latino and African-American community.

Thank God I wasn`t drinking aything when I read that. Or else I`d be cleaning it off the screen.

The Dems could easily fill up the stadium with a huge, rompin’ rock concert in Denver – regardless of being in debt. Springsteen would just do it for free in order to get the Messiah elected!!! In keeping with the Dem convention green theme, there will be, however, no free beer and bratwurst, only Evian and arugula.

“Is he planning on having a rock concert as a warm up act again?”

Yes, as the headline act for this flash in the pan, one-hit wonder whose act is already getting old.

[...] While Obama has been trying to prove his bonafides as a leader and potential commander-in-chief, John McCain has been having a little fun, running ads comparing Obama to Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Moses. It was a tactic that led many pundits on the left and right to tell McCain to grow up. But those same pundits are now scratching their heads as to why McCain has managed to make huge gains among young voters. [...]

How funny would it be if Mile High stadium (or whatever it’s called this week) is empty when he gives his acceptance speech?

This is all very interesting, but remember, this is John ZOgby we’re talking about here. He’s been wrong in the past.

However, the recent trends in the Gallup and Rasmussen polls show similar movement, so maybe it is for real.

Gee, I sound like Jean-Claude Kerri!

Besides all of the secret bags Obamination is carrying, his main problem has been, foot in mouth disease. He’s race baited, lied, and changed positions so many times, that one can’t keep count.

ALL of that Middle Eastern Arab money, and he still can’t get his foot out his mouth!

As a lawyer, he is practiced in the art of delivery. Give him a summation, or a carefully crafted political speech, and he is in his element.

Trust me when I tell you that most lawyers who don’t spend much time in a Courtroom have a difficult time remembering their name much less making a cogent argument I don’t recall BO having any courtroom experience so his experience at presenting speeches is purely political – and most likely learned by watching Rev. Wright.

You can’t hide an empty suit forever. Obama will go down as the most arrogant and naive candidate to ever run for the presidency. He stands for nothing at the same time he stands for everything. By the way, where is Michelle?

The ego trip across Europe was a major blunder. The exact demographic Obama lost huge to Hillary- white working class- is going to look at that stupid spectacle with disgust. The polls don’t lie when it comes to overall trend.

My favorite poll- Obama is losing ground in Florida after spending $5 million there to McCain’s $0

Nancy Pelosi isn’t helping Obama’s cause
Syd B. on August 5, 2008 at 10:35 AM

Pelosi = Lemming

the European Tour will be identified as the “Moment” the Obama candidacy started to falter and decline.
RushBaby on August 5, 2008 at 10:37 AM

Whoever decided Obama should do Europe before he did the convention deserves thanks. The convention was needed to create Obama. Now they have to do re-create Obama.

Alter observed that the GOP is ‘Carterizing” Obama
DrW on August 5, 2008 at 11:11 AM

Carterizing can only be self inflicted by the self absorbed

It’s funny how the ‘heads’ on msnbc can’t figure out why Obama’s tire inflation remarks have resonated with AmericansDrW on August 5, 2008 at 11:11 AM

As I recall Carter couldn’t either

Gas trumps all

I just wonder if Obama is going to look like a serious enough liability that the super delegates will jump ship and nominate Hillary.
Highwayman on August 5, 2008 at 11:20 AM

Don’t feed my paranoia.

The original choice of a black radical, islamic raised, national anthem and flag eschewing, Rev. Wright loving Candidate was so bizarre I periodically sense it was staged to re position Hillary as a moderate with mainstream American voters. It is still so unreal I cannot shake the intuition the super delegates were set up to make a ’surprise’ bolt for Hillary at the convention, by which time voters will be grateful for the (bait and) switch.

Bill Clinton’s anger at and rejection by the Obammies has a Sister Souljah quality.

The clinker in this paranoid fantasy is the reality that the DEM machine cannot reject a black candidate once he/she has been showcased

DEM machine = Lemming

McCain must nail Obama on the drilling issue as fast and as hard as he possibly can, before Obama has time to weasel further out of the Pelosi position.
By spotlighting Obama’s eventual reversal drilling, McCain could expect to disillusion and de-energize further Obama’s radical base.

A year from now, we’ll all be wondering how we ever took Obama to be so formidable.

Right now we’d have to say his formidable veneer exists because he’s set records raising money and the media doubles as the Twelve Disciples. Money and media, what more can a modern politician hope for?
