Who is so stupid as to vote for

Brain Dead McCain?

[research]

What's wrong with the people who said they would vote for Brain dead McCain?

God help us.

You know in softball they have the mercy rule.

Lose by more than 10 runs, they call the game over.

She's lost 11 straight now; where's the "mercy rule"?

The Democrats Abroad organisation said that Obama won about 65 per cent of the vote in countries and territories around the world, with Clinton winning 32.7 per cent.

That is Obamas 11th straight victory over Hillary.

Voters took part at centres in more than 30 countries, by mail and fax and also for the first time via an online voting system.
Online votes were cast from 164 countries, the organisation said, including Antarctica, where a researcher at the US scientific mission at McMurdo cast his vote.

Got a phone call last night asking if Hillary can count on me? I said wrong, I would never
support her. Though my candidates all disappeared, Kucinich, Richardson, Edwards,
my bet is on Obama though I don't expect many
changes. But Hillary's intentions are clear as
daylight. She is all talk and no action and her
voting record proves it. She should have planned this a long time ago and voted accordingly - like she really meant it.

Obama doesn't have to win Kansas to become President. If he can force McCain to campaign in Kansas, Obama more easily woo states like Colorado, Virginia, Louisiana.

A similar poll puts McCain up by 8 points in Texas. There is no reasonable scenario where McCain wins the White House without Texas. A race where McCain is forced to pour money into the expensive DFW and Houston markets is one where Obama is sweeping through Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania and even Missouri.

Obama puts McCain on the defensive in GOP strongholds. Clinton gives McCain opportunities in Democratic-leaning states like Wisconsin. The choice is clear for Democrats: Lose badly with Clinton, or punish the GOP with Obama leading the charge.

The work I am doing shows a different story. Indeed some of the Polls starting to be published show that many of these themes were written off a few weeks ago are coming together as predicted. The latest information demonstrates that KS is coming together as predicted a swing state, and supports Obama losing in PA to McCain while Hillary would win it.

Here is what Mr Axelrod should already know.

Obama flips KS, MO and IA, loses PA, MI, NJ and CT while FL, MI, TN, AR, KY, NM, CO, NV stay RED, WI is a tossup. Obama and the Democrats lose the Electoral College and the Presidency.

Clinton keeps PA, MI and NJ while flipping FL, MI, TN, AR, KY, NM, CO (yes that is correct), NV, KS, MO, WI and NV Clinton and the Democrats win the Electoral College and the Presidency.

I will keep updateing as things change.

What a surprise! Obama is doing well in Kansas, a state where he has very strong ties. Just like everyone else, Kansans want to see one of their own do well. In that regard, Kansas isn't really a bellweather.

UNIMAGINABLE: IS THERE MORE TO THIS STORY?????????????

[NewArtz]

And in Dallas of all places! After Bill O'Reilly this week sought among his reactionary listeners to illicit the premeditation to a lynching, I don't have any trust for the "powers that be" when the SS (Secret Service) "decide" to let down their guard. The last African American to stir this country to change was downed in a pool of his own blood, and great care needs to be given that Obama be protected from domestic terrorists. He is, at this point, the single hope we have to save this country from tyranny. It is not in the ilk of tyrants to yield. Obama needs to guarded better than this.

[JadedAggie]

This is kind of a pointless story. If he was actually beating McCain in Kansas it would be worth reporting, but if he's still losing it's a moot point. The NY part of the story is somewhat interesting, but again I think it's pretty apparent both would win.

[ClaudiaJean]

Why is Huffington Post bullshitting us any more. What's with the anti-pollster campaign... to ignore pollsters and polling, initiated by this website... yet they are SO quick to post stories with headlines touting results of irrelevant polls as if they mean anything? Because they are the problem they pretend to be addressing.

In a poll, of 24 relatives, 47 co-workers, 39 friends and an assortment of random subway riders, deli customers and the cab driver who drove me home tonight, Hillary is their choice for president, they think Obama might get the nomination, but McCain unfortunately might win the White House. And this matters because? yeah, it's just as useless as anything else.

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

It's a Kansas poll, not a national poll, so it's irrelevant. What it does show is that Obama is a lot more popular in Kansas, than Hillary. That's something anyone with a brain cell already knew.

[illinoisan]

Don't he make your red state blue?

Don't he make your red state blue?

Guys, this is horrific bullshit.

Hillary loses, Barack loses, but by much less.

This "almost beats" nonsense is pathetic. Your bias is showing, and it ain't pretty.

[Susan1968]

Either you Obama supporters are terribly naive or Barack is spiking those water bottle he hands out at his "Come To The New Messiah" meetings with some logic-erasing elixer.

Anyone who believes general election polls 9 months BEFORE a general election is goofy.

All polls are snapshots in time - you have no idea how events will impact public opinions even weeks from now.

If this story about McCain had come out three weeks ago, Romney would be the GOP candidate.

You think Obama is going to hold up to scrutiny over the next 9 months and still be looking squeaky clean to voters. Think again.

Even if Hillary loses the nom, the GOP will be sure to take down your guy several pegs by November.

[milo9]

It is irrelevant if Obama is squeaky clean in 9 months, he will still not be Billary or McBush. Obama's our guy, we're going in a different direction. Period!
