Gallup: Obama Already Recovering from Wright Losses

Tell A Friend

According to Gallup, Clinton has gone from a 7 point lead on the 18th to a 2 point (statistically insignificant) lead as of yesterday.  See for yourself here.

Josh Marshall has also moved to become more candid -- an exception missing from modern media personalities -- about the fact that Clinton's campaign has been over since the end of February.

Citing FEC information regarding the Clinton campaign's inability to generate contributions, Marshall's site makes plain what should have been obvious long ago: Obama will be the Democratic nominee.

Perhaps owing to his own father's sense of right and wrong, Chris Wallace (of Faux News of all places) has begun echoing the sentiments of those in the media with a greater than high school education: enough with the race-baiting, already.  The angry white racists who have consistently been duped into supporting candidates who do not support their best interests, have apparently run out of money to support Hillary's candidacy.

Funny.  The neo-cons have outsmarted themselves and are about to experience the mother of all backlashes.

Turn off your TV's and sign up to dial into Pennsylvania...but be advised: Pennsylvania is at least as prejudiced against blacks as any southern state.  These folks need an intervention as much as they need to get a clue.  Focus on the economy and what the neo-con panderers have done to their children's futures.

MSNBC RACE-BAITING

We've been wondering why soprano-voiced, hand-chopping Buchanan, opinionated Tucker, sarcastic, megalomaniac Scarborough, were being given so much air time on MSNBC.  Also, why the Rev. Wright's bombastic out-of-context film was being shown every three and a half minutes.  Now we know!  How naive of us to think of MSNBC as being the network interested in bringing a well-balanced viewing to the American public.  Seems, instead, the whole idea of all the race-baiting is to bring the racist Fox-viewers over to watch MSNBC!  Just to improve their viewer ratings.  Disgusting!  Now, we can only look forward to Keith Olbermann's program (Countdown) in the evening, in order to get the truth about what is going on.  Rafferty, on CNN, is another truth-teller.  Why doesn't NBC just add "FOX" to its initials?  You know, FOXMSNBC!  Perhaps they could start featuring druggy Rush Limbaugh, dung-mouth Sean Hannity, and all the rest of the trash-mouths.  They'll end up losing, rather than gaining in their viewer count.

The Nominee

Clinton's chances to become the Presidential nominee died with the failure of efforts to get re-votes in Florida and Michigan.  She would have been the favorite in both states, and without them she doesn't have any way to make up a large part of the difference between her delegate count and that of Obama.  Even if she wins by a landslide in Pennsylvania, a very real possibility (Obama has not even been seriously campaigning there, because it seems so out of reach for him), she will fall well short.

This seems unfair, and the Clinton campaign has been trying to pin the blame on Obama.  But it isn't Obama's fault.  The Party leaders in those two states essentially gambled in pushing up their primaries, and lost their bets.  There are major obstacles to re-voting, and in the end those obstacles prevented the citizens of those states from participating in the process meaningfully.  When the Party leaders originally made their bets, they didn't know that eventually Clinton would take the loss if they lost their bets.  It's just the way it turned out.  And Obama never encouraged those State Parties to make those bets, so it's not right for Clinton to take out her frustration about how it turned out on Obama.  And it won't fly, because there's no basis for pinning the blame on him.

Losing bet

The Democrat’s have made a losing bet. But money laid is money played, all bets are down and the dice rolling. I’m sure that the Democrat’s would not have bet on snake eyes if they took a little time to figure out the odds on the board.

The Democrat’s have put all their money into the Obama coffer and now cannot accept how bad Obama really is as a candidate for president. This was a slam dunk for the Democrat’s for any other candidate than the ones they picked to be the final two Obama and Clinton.

I watched as McCain chuckled last night during his interview, because none of my opinions about Obama on this web site really matter to McCain. Yes, Obama is a closet racist that has a lifelong mentor that preaches hate in church. This does not matter to McCain. McCain has clearly shown the difference between some nut that supports a candidate and some nut that leads a candidate. Even that does not really matter.

One look at Obama’s record of handouts in the short two years of federal public service speaks volumes as to how he will lead this country. Obama claims he treats people equally but he legislates through favoritism based on race, sex, etc… By all accounts of his legislation Obama will give away the store if he was put in charge and maybe that is what Americans think will save them from complete ruin.

It will not take long to crush that view for any thinking person. It is no wonder that Obama herds of supporters are young and dumb. Very few have even taken the time to read what legislation Obama has supported.

For this entire election, Obama’s race relation and legislative views were ignored, because no one believed a man that was also half white would have align himself with the likes of Louis Faracon and Jessie Jackson. If this was know before the first election he would not have lasted through Super Tuesday. Clinton on the other hand has been scrutinized down to reading her itinerary for each day she was first lady.

All  the money is on Obama now. so as unlikely as it is that snake eyes will be a winner, you have to cheer for them.
