Obama's VP List: A Few Good Men -- And No Women?
The part I find so maddening about this turn of events is the reason given for the absence of a female contender.
The Proper Use of Bill and Hillary Clinton
Obama should not only ask their advice, he should give Hillary and Bill each a plane and put them into the field in the fall, letting them speak in battleground states on economics and healthcare.
What Pelosi Doesn't Get About Persuasion
Berating women who are still supporting for vice president a candidate who won half the Democratic presidential nominee votes is not the way to persuade them to support Obama.

The revelation that as an AP reporter Fournier privately urged Karl Rove to "keep up the fight," came as no surprise to anyone who has read his recent campaign work.

As one of the senior citizens in my neighborhood says, "Obama would have to come to my house and bring Baby Jesus, and B.B. King with him, before I give a dime to that nonsense."
Why Do We White People Dislike Michelle Obama?
Only 24% of white Americans have a favorable view of Michelle Obama. How could she be less popular than the most unpopular president in US history? I have an answer: racism.

Obama Has Not Yet Made the Sale -- To Hillary Diehards
The comment every reporter would kill for would be a candid, honest comment from Hillary Clinton. What does she make of the meetings of Hillary supporters uncomfortable with Obama?
On the Red Phone
I watched, transfixed, as she took the 3 a.m. call...and I was afraid...very afraid. Suddenly, I realized the last thing this country needs is that woman anywhere near a phone.
Joe Scarborough Disses Rachel Maddow
Scarborough epitomized every boorish, condescending male that ever tried to diminish a woman... whether it be a family member, a co-worker, or a presidential candidate.

Benny Hill had a wonderful little ditty that applies here.

November.
Obama has not closed the deal becasue it is July. He is just about where he needs to be. He is still etting the American people know who he is. The "season" for closing the deal is the fall not the summer.
I am worried about the poll numbers, they make no sense, don't seem to be realistic. So I am hoping that the problem is in the polling "process". I suspect polling has not kept up with the times and is
simply decadent and outdated, not reflecting reality. If they poll on land lines only, then the whole
process IS A JOKE and meaningless.
If you are a Republican it must be very difficult to support the hypocrisies and outright lies of your political leadershp over the last twenty five years. With each new election those elected who promised to be Republicans have taken their party and this country in a direction that has stunted the intellectual growth of the country at large, focused more wealth into the hands of the wealthy, allowed Christian religious beliefs to be weaved into our government, encouraged the selfish raping of our environment by our largest corporations, physically enlarged the bureaucracies of our government, expanded the role of law enforcement, reduced the amount of freedoms enjoyed by all, and ultimately made it significantly harder for the average American to live a nice, healthy life.
John McCain is a part of the decline of the Republican party, his tenure in DC covers the same time period of this erosion of basic principles that make us all American no matter what we believe. He is part of the reason this once great party is now a bunch of old white men who are fearful of the secret powers of the vagina, fearful of islam, fearful of immigrants, fearful of science, fearful of change and fearful of an intelliegent and educated electorate.
A vote for McCain will continue to promote the decline of America but it will be hard to notice with all the lapel pins, flag waving, hands over your heart and god blessing everything going on.
IF true hillary should have won
It's only July. All polls are entirely meaningless until at least late September--and probably until late October. A significantly large percentage of the electorate always makes up its mind during the last week of a campaign. When _those_ #'s show up, it'll be something worth discussing.
That said, if Senator McCain had one of the worst possible weeks politically, and Senator Obama had one of the best, why _didn't_ he get anything resembling a huge bump?
