HUSSEIN! has a new logo, presumptive, but WTF
"Barack finally has his bounce. For weeks many political experts and pollsters have been wondering why the race between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain had stayed so tight, even after the Illinois senator wrested the nomination from Hillary Clinton. With numbers consistently showing rock-bottom approval ratings for President Bush and a large majority of Americans unhappy with the country's direction, the opposing-party candidate should, in the normal course, have attracted more disaffected voters. Now it looks as if Obama is doing just that. A new NEWSWEEK Poll shows that he has a substantial double-digit lead, 51 percent to 36 percent, over McCain among registered voters nationwide."

That should really open Repug donors' wallets!

Polls blows....how many Democrats vs Republicans were polled? I'm sure it was something like over 50% were democrats and 30% republicans.
How about this.
Democrat Barack Obama raised $22 million in May for his presidential campaign, his weakest fundraising month this year, and ended the month with $43 million cash on hand, the campaign reported Friday.
The May figures place Obama and McCain on nearly equal footing. McCain raised $21 million in May and reported $31.6 million cash on hand at month’s end.
In February, he raised $50 million. In March $40 million, and April $32 million. By the time May rolled around, he had to deal with his derogatory comments towards Midwestern voters, Jeremiah Wright, and the series of gaffes that had begun to plague him after the Pennsylvania debate in April.
You aren't a very smart man are you?
Rasmussen's showing zero bounce.

Seemed like the perfect thread for this article;
McCain in a landslide? Could be
Article published Saturday, June 21, 2008
SEN. Barack Obama has the lead for the time being. But three signposts point the way to a McCain landslide in November, in the unlikely event the Arizona senator has the wit to heed them.
What figures to be by far the most important issue this fall is the skyrocketing price of energy and its deleterious effect on the broader economy and national security.
Now that Sen. John McCain has flip-flopped on drilling off our coasts, there is a substantial difference between him and Mr. Obama on the issue. Mr. McCain also supports building more nuclear power plants, which Mr. Obama opposes.
Opinion polls indicate a large majority supports drilling for oil off our coasts and in Alaska. That majority is likely to expand and harden as gas prices rise this summer. But Mr. McCain can't fully capitalize politically on this change in public at ude unless he completes his flip-flop and consents to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Commentary magazine editor John Podhoretz fears Mr. McCain's ego will prevent him from doing what is in his, and his country's, interest: "So, McCain 2 makes a big speech about offshore drilling and the need for it. Fine. But the message is muted and confused. Why? Because McCain 1 voted against oil exploration and field development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and McCain 2 doesn't want to look like a flip-flopper by changing his stand on the matter. ... In acting out of a combination of holier-than-thou piety and political pique, McCain 1 has made it all but impossible for McCain 2 to run with this issue and go on the offensive with Mr. Obama on a matter of central concern to the American people."
I fear Mr. Podhoretz is correct. But few Americans would hold flip-flopping against Mr. McCain, because they've flip-flopped, too. Soccer moms genuflected to environmental pieties when gasoline was $2 a gallon. But now that they have to sell their firstborn to fill up their SUVs, their at ude has changed dramatically.
If Mr. McCain were to fly to ANWR and announce his change of heart there, the attendant publicity would make it clear to Americans the sharp difference between himself and Mr. Obama on the issue most important to their pocketbooks. He supports letting Floridians and Californians decide whether there should be drilling off their coasts. Why shouldn't the same principle apply to Alaskans? A large majority favors drilling in ANWR.
The second signpost is Mr. Obama's clumsy embrace of a Sept. 10 at ude toward the war on terror. The law enforcement approach toward fighting it is precisely what led to 9/11. Fortunately, national security is the one issue Mr. McCain knows something about. The danger for him here is that he'll overemphasize it. The fact that we're winning the war on terror makes most Americans less interested in it, and more focused on economic concerns. Voter anxiety about Mr. Obama's fitness to be commander-in-chief is a strong subsidiary issue. But this election will be won or lost at the pump.
The third signpost was illuminated by the flap over the receipt by the now former head of Mr. Obama's vice presidential selection committee and two prominent U.S. senators of below-market-rate loans from Countrywide Finance, which Mr. Obama has charged is in large part responsible for the subprime mortgage crisis. One of those senators, Chris Dodd of Connecticut, is trying to push through Congress a bill that would, in effect, bail out Countrywide.
This glaring conflict of interest hasn't attracted much attention from the news media because for most journalists, a scandal isn't really a scandal unless Republicans are involved. But it's a tailor-made issue for Mr. McCain.
The signposts also indicate who Mr. McCain should choose for his running mate. No Republican can better make the case for drilling than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and no governor has fought harder against corruption, especially in her own party.
So go to ANWR, Mr. McCain. Embrace Sarah Palin there. You'll have to eat some crow. But crow doesn't taste so bad if it's served on the White House china.

lulz.
polls.
Voting against Old Sick Senile 95% McFlopPanderKeating as dubya II is really voting against the extremely disastrous and unpopular dubya.
Getting beat to at the polls by the American people is a hard job, but somebody had to do it. We know how hard dubya worked for all us these past 7 years.
"The 9/10 at ude" is such a hackneyed republican tactic, if all of you nutless gutless neocons are so dense that you fall for this rhetoric again, may god have mercy on your black souls.
HUSSEIN! has a new logo, presumptive, but WTF
It's when Obama does like this that makes me thing he is a pawn put in place to blatantly lose this election.
If you take away his blackness, on paper, he has an easy road to the white house.
Bad economy? Housing Scandals? Mention Keating, Keating, Keating.
Bad war? Mention his intention to continue it.
Obama needs to ramp up his campaign soon or the little insignificants are going to damage him too early and he will have to to keep recovering, instead of just making headway.
The le once agains just how DUMB boutons is.
How many times have I said I would rather Obama (or Hillary) win over McCain?
Anyone?
Have I ever advocated a republican win over a democrat one since McCain was the nominee?
Anyone?
WC, I wasn't referring to your Presidential preferences, but just how ing goofy and robotic talking-point stupid your recent posts have been.
But I'm sure you're thrilled that the next president, (if the corps, capitalists, and/or bubbas don't assassinate him), will be a Muslim, black, unpatriotic, no-lapel-pin, and married to a bitter, black, terrorist-fist-bumping Baby Mama (the right wing slime machine is spreading rumors that HUSSEIN's kids are also black Little Sambos).

I wouldn't be surprised to see McCain winning at all. I always tought the Dems have been nominating the worst candidates out there, since Kerry.
As much as Dems think voter turnout is going to be big with a color candidate, Reps always have better turnout in general, and you'll see extra motivation considering that whether you like it or not, racial bias are going to be a factor.
That said, IMO, what's going to make or break McCain's election is how much he can differentiate himself from dubya.
A push-poller from South Carolina called and told me the same thing...and it turned out to be TRUE!
with the funding and stuff
it doesnt fukn cost much to rent a hall and talk right?
so wtf is he doin with the rest of the millions?
"Reps always have better turnout in general"
all reports from Repug mucky mucks is that they really can't see how McSenile can win, and the donors aren't showing up, either. Did you happen to notice the total voters who showed up in Dem vs Repug primaries? The Dems are motivated, the Repugs hold their nose about McSenile.
"how much he can differentiate himself from dubya."
In truth, Mc95% can't differentiate at all, esp on the killer issue of Iraq.
But Mc95% can, and will, tell all kinds campaign-only lies in an attempt do differentiate.
there was no reason for me to go out and vote in the primary. i wanted mccain and he was going to win, so i sat back. i was out making money. i will vote in the presidential election(where it counts) though.
boutons, will you stop posting for a year if mccain wins?
Clanny, no. Too much fun here -slapping you pro-war/anti-enlist slime-bots.
Huh?
McCain sneaks up on Obama in money race
Republican brought in just $400,000 less than White House rival in May
MSNBC News Services
updated 6:55 a.m. ET, Sat., June. 21, 2008
WASHINGTON - John McCain raised almost as much money as Barack Obama in May, placing him virtually on the same financial footing as his Democratic rival — a level of parity that would have been unimaginable just a few months ago.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25296564/
edit: In addition to that, Obama has asked his supporters to help bail out Hillary's 22.5 million campaign debt; that means less for Obama.
As it turns out, that rosy Obama financial picture painted by bouts, doesn't exist.

the first time you slap any pro=war/anti-elitist slime bot i will stop posting for one year!
How bout this, 50% democrats, 30% republicans and 20% indies. Do you understand that one?
Two words...
Electoral college.
Polling is done at random by these pollsters. It isn't like they went out and got "x" amount of Democrats, and "x" amount of Republicans on purpose.
