Obama Tells SC: Don't Take Polls For Granted

Political Radar:

After a combative debate, Barack Obama stopped by a debate watching party at "Broadway Louie's" sports bar in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Calling the debate vigorous Obama said, "I thought we had some fun tonight," to a crowd of supporters and local staff members....

..."I am absolutely confident that the only way we lose this election is if we don't turn out the way we should. You may decide 'well you know what maybe Barack's got it in the bag, because the polls look good.' Remember the polls in New Hampshire? We cannot take anything for granted."

SC is apparently a vote for the victim.

AA voters.....good luck.

Your "victim" candidate is not very attractive to people who really want a leader.

Speaking of RELIABLE polls:

Hillary Rodham Clinton holds a commanding lead over Barack Obama in California as the Democratic presidential contest heads toward the Feb. 5 primary, a new statewide poll has found.

The L.A. Times/CNN/Politico poll was conducted by Opinion Research Corp.

I already voted for Sen. Clinton by absentee ballot!

So should you!

Did they forget to paint in the lightning bolts? Damn production people, slacking again.

You know how they say the presidency ages the president faster (3:1 according to Chuck Norris). Well, take a look at Obama. He doesn't look too well. Maybe 5:1 in his case.

Obama, if you want to prove yourself you have to stop doing the Clintons' job for them. You don't respond to these stupid emails and crap, and you dismiss them as the nonsense they are if asked. Now you've gone and blamed the Clintons (that is what you're doing) for instigating these things. Without evidence. Not too smart. The Clintons weren't born yesterday. I dunno though maybe you can win this through sheer hope.

[trailrunner9]

Enjoy your last win, Obama.

BILL'S OBAMA STRATEGY

It takes an attack dog to know an attack dog...Bill Clinton's ex-buddy Dick Morris' take on Bill's Obama Strategy below...point by point

"WHY is Bill Clinton courting such intense publicity, in evitably much of it negative?
Is he crazy? Crazy like a fox.


He has two goals and is achieving them both spectacularly.
First, he wants to be the same kind of lightning rod for Hillary that she was for him during his run for the presidency.

Now, she rarely gets hit anymore. They're hitting Bill instead.

The other method behind his madness is that Bill wants to suck up all the oxygen in the room and dominate the coverage of the Democratic contest. By doing so, he cuts Obama out of the news, pushes him off the front page, and usurps the headlines.

His tactics now are reminiscent of those he used to black out John Kerry during the lead-up to the 2004 Democratic National Convention.


Ultimately, the Clintons are playing a game of jujitsu with Obama, using his own strength against him.

By challenging Obama for the black vote - by promising to go door to door in South Carolina in minority neighborhoods, for example - Bill is highlighting the question: Will Obama carry the black vote? Of course, he will. He leads, 4 to 1, among African-Americans now.

But by making that the central question, Obama's South Carolina victory will be hailed as proof that he won the African-American vote. Such block voting will trigger the white backlash Sen. Clinton needs to win.

Once whites see blacks voting en masse for a black man, they will figure that it is a racial game and line up for Hillary. Already, she carries white voters by 2 to 1.

The Slate...that's the same paper that decided not to inform it's readers of the proper context in which Bill Clinton used the term "fairy tale."

Okay all you Obama lovers...you think Hillary is bad with your little sweetie???? Just wait until the Republicans get hold of Obama (oh, I mean Osama) Barack Hussein Obama...now what do you think they are going to do to him with that??? Karl will be back with the Repubs and they will eat him alive....just watch. Now cut out the crap about him being picked on by Hill, for pete's sake, if he and you cannot take that then boys and girls you are in for the shock of your life. The Repubs are frothing at the mouth to get their hands on this guy. Hillary can handle them....Obama better toughen up and you followers better cover up because the "----" is gonna hit the fan and Hillary will look so very tame compared to what will happen if he gets the nomination!!!

Obama said, "I thought we had some fun tonight," to a crowd of supporters and local staff members....
Fun? I remember all the shit they gave Clinton when she said "This is when fun part starts" How awful Hillary was, remember? So I guess when St Obama does it it OK?

[xrayman]

As someone who live through the civil rights age, 50s-60s, I was kind of shocked that Obama played into a stereotype when said he would have to see Clinton dance before he could judge as to whether he was a brotha. What else would he have to do, watch him eat fried chicken and watermelon? Would Obama have to see if Clinton could swim? If Hillary had made a stereotype reference like that it would have been plastered as a front page headline on every newspaper in the country.

I admit the question was beyond ridiculous. Maybe Obama was being ironic. Let's face it, though, if Hillary had said something like that, she would have been roasted alive.

So is Obama going to give away free cheese?
The Vermont rumor is Senator Patrick Leahy gave Obama his endorsement because he promised to help
Vermont Dairy farmers with another welfare cheese giveaway.

The Kennedy Machine is behind Obama. The John Kerry endorsement proves that. This is two big political machines. Godzilla versus Mothra.

Talk to your OWN accountant in regard to Obama's (and Hillary's)talk of, 'tax-cuts.'

The LAST time the America public got a 'tax-cut', by Bush, it turned out that 'the real truth' was, it was NOT a tax-cut at all; it was a 'tax-rebate' that taxpayers had, to, you guess it ... pay taxes on in their next filing! Right?

A REAL tax-cut is the further lessoning of the actual money that people will have to pay in taxes, beyond already legal credits and loopholes. In a 'tax-rebate' the government issues you a check that the IRS taxes you on, in your NEXT IRS filing; it is NOT free money. Right?

What EXACTLY does Hillary -&- Obama mean by, 'tax-cut/Rebate?' Until we see the fine details, in light of Bush's governmental finance fiasco, we should all be very skeptical of any politicians who talk/offer-up tax-cuts and/or "rebates."

Let' all see the fine print and discuss it with 'our own accountants' to see if it makes any sense!
