Since the GOP moved center this year and given McCain’s strong favorable ratings, I think we have a strong chance to win this year.

I think McCain is a poor candidate and the GOP’s strong chance to win this year rests on the fact that Obama is an even poorer candidate, another Carter or McGovern.

Trace, I have to disagree. Since the GOP moved center this year and given McCain’s strong favorable ratings, I think we have a strong chance to win this year.

I would have thought that when it comes down to blacks or women, the liberals would toss the blacks under the bus. They built themselves by doing so, why would they stop now?

I think Trace is right, Hillary would govern closer to the center only because she has learned lessons during Bill’s administration. Far better to win incremental victories than to go down to defeat with huge new programs. But alas Barack is the nominee of the Democrats… and the country will have to hang on as he learns in office how to run an administration. He has no experience as an executive. He was a “community organizer”. Some one wanna tell me exactly what that is? Did he get people together to chat about picking up trash and remodeling playareas? He gets amazing crowds, and gives speaches filled with blather. I remember seeing Hitler in those black and white movies speaking to huge crowds and he had them completely enthralled. How’d that all turn out?

Peter, I certainy wish the “super delegates” would nominate Hillary. For several reasons which, as I’ve commented before, are not relevant to these discussions, I’ve been a “Republican for Hillary” for several years. I have even more incentive now.

Unless there are some major changes — and I mean major — in the dynamics, I just can’t see the Republicans winning in November. If there is going to be a Democrat in the White House, I want it to be Hillary not Obama.

Good or bad, Hillary is a known quantity. We don’t really know much about Obama and probably won’t know a whole lot more before the election. When the media helped peel some of the veneer away from Obama’s carefully crafted image they quickly realized they better not let more come to light or he’d be toast come November. I’m probably the only one here who believes it, but having carefully watched her Senate career I’m convinced that if elected Hillary would govern from close to the center. Obama tends to campaign from the middle but I’m convinced that if he’s elected he’ll govern from far to the left.

The media coverage re: Obama’s inability to get working-class democratic voters is only an issue because Clinton is still technically in the race. Obama’s going to be the nominee, so there isn’t much to report without talking about the differences in voter demographics between him and Clinton. The fact is, given today’s political environmnet, it’s going to be nearly impossible for any republican to win in November.

#4 - I don’t see why the superdelegates are so scared. Dhimmicrats have already done far worse to black voters in terms of policies and hypocrisy than they would possibly yanking the nomination away from B. Hussein Obama.

Blacks will stay with Dhimmicrats no matter what. So if I had my say-so, I’d tell the superdelegates to nominate Hillary.

The only reason Democratic “super delegates” are lining up behind Obama is either a fear of what black voters would do to the party if at this point Hillary is nominated instead of Obama or they are caught up in the left’s excitement about electing America’s first black president.

And every rational “super delegate” probably has his or her fingers crossed that Obama’s campaign and Howard Dean’s DNC can convince general election voters that John McCain is too old and/or is no more than a third term for George W. Bush.

Tonight I heard a Democrat pundit say that as the Presidential campaign heats up, “he ultimately will come up with specifics to all these questions.” The economy, national security, health care, taxes, gas and oil prices, energy strategy, etc. Eventually as we come down to two contestants…..Barack Obama “ultimately” will give us specifics as to his positions. Now that’s got to be an indictment of the Democrat party and the drive by media. You can become a finalist in this race and most people don’t know what you stand for.
The Democrats have helped to wreck the economy by raising the minimum wage. And have stabbed working Americans in the back by not allowing drilling in ANWAR to begin over 10 years ago. But in America there is no accountability for lefitsts.

In other news of the weird, former Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd has endorsed Obama.

A couple of questions immediately leap to mind:

1. Did Sen Byrd know that B. Hussein Obama is non-white? Or did anyone on his staff even mention it to him?

2. Did this same President Pro Tempore of the US Senate know that his state’s primary was LAST week, and that Clinton won it by 40-odd points?

3. Is this same 90-year-old politician next going to announce that he does not support McCain because “he’s too old?” (Never mind that McCain is 20 years younger than Byrd - facts don’t matter to Dhimmicrats.)

Honestly, girls, you can NOT make this stuff up!

I think the fact that there are still undecided voters bodes bad for Obama, considering he is supposed to be the nominee now. Usually a high undecided number goes against the incumbent…which would be Obama now. I think she will win the most of them, as she usually does with late deciders.

Not that it matters, its too little too late now.
