Obama is NO way qualified to be president. A freshman senator with NO executive experience and VERY little legislative experience does not cut it. Extremely poor judgement was exercised in dealing with "Rev" Wright, a typical race hustler and America hater.(Don't forget that the white man invented Aids to hurt black people, PLEAZZZ.) Rev Wright is a LUNATIC and Obama wrote this idiot a $20,000 check. However, women will vote for him because he is handsome, blacks will vote for him because he is black and God only knows why so many whites are voting for him.
Mainly because the fascist Clinton aristocracy is the other choice. Talk about unqualified.

This poll was probably rigged by the Republicans in the hope that The Democrats would nominate Obama with ease after reading the results. McCain probably feels it would be easier to run against a tar baby instead of a White woman.
I see you used the term Tar Baby in your reference to Obama.

I Hope you know you also have african roots, as do all humans. Scientist have long proven that fact. Get educated, it might help change your prospective as it relates to human beings including yourself.

I've had people ask me why did Americans vote for Bush ! Initially I answered, the option was worse. After is second election we were viewed as a nation of idiots. Americans cannot be loyal to parties, we have to elect the wisest choice.
McCain is a crumpy old war vet, who is way out of touch with the rest of the country and the world and a continuation of Bush.
Hillary Clinton is also an old out of touch woman who represent politics as usual. Special interest rule.
I'm Jewish and have disregarded all the religious (Paster Wright) nonsense and plan on voting for Obama. Only foolish individuals or people who never intended to vote for Obama will choose to villanize him for the Paster Wright comments.
McCain is a national hero, why don't you read something about his 'Nam, p.o.w. life? McCain had many opportunities to improve his lot in prison but......... CHOSE to stay in hell when they would not let his fellow inmates join him. If you don't like McCain, that is fine, only a ignorant fool would call McCain a "crumpy old war vet."

You can't be serious.
1. Obama will cause the middle east to turn into a disaster. Just because he "was against the war" who care at this point anyway? That's pretty much irrelevant now. The fact is that we're there, like it or not and cutting and running will lead to absolute chaos and disaster. The surge is working and no of the loser libs will admit it.
2. Why should MLK be the only person to have his own "day" anyway? It's ridiculous. You can't tell me that he's that deserving over numerous,(too many to count) Americans that don't have their own "day". It's just a pacify black America by the libs day. The blacks should be the ones thanking all the whites who died in the Civil War freeing them. Why don't they do that? Those people suffered more than most blacks EVER suffered.
3. Obama will kill off the economy with his lack of understanding of economics, specifically raising taxes on the upper middle class who are the small business owners and who provide most jobs in this country.
And why should the government be involved at all in bailing out the idiots who were running around trying to get in on the real estate gravy train? Most of these people bought with no money down anyway and many were trying to flip for profit and got caught in a down cycle. Is the goverment supposed to bail out people who lose money in business and the stock market too?
You are just a typical lib who thinks the answer to everything it more government, when the answer is don't be so stupid as individuals. You'd think we were all little children that can't do anything for ourselves without the "genius's" like Clinton and Obama who are so smart and know so much more than anyone else.
What a bunch of crap, Clinton and her sniper fire story, and Obama and his total lack of knowledge about his racist preacher. Do they think we're just a bunch of idiots? Screw both of them and the rest of the lib dems.
Obama is a Harvard graduate, where did you go to school

It tells you how things have changed when they used to compare McCain to the Democrats and now they compare the Democrats to McCain.

I also served in the Military, being a POW does not make you a hero, actually, he failed his mission, which is why he became a POW.

Hero's never surrender or quit.

That is a theory, that we all share "african roots", and not a strong one. And humans could have evolved from the super continent Pangaea. Or China. The books are still very much open on this debate.

Don't fall for this "ATHY" or ICHOW spam.
It is Billary Clinton staff, and they have nothing else to do except SPAM these FREE comment boards and post their propaganda on sites like Craigslist, because they're campaign is low on funds and can't even pay their debts.
Bill Clinton is NOT going to be the next FIRST LADY~ get over it!
Obama does not have the experience we need. We can not afford another four years of make it up as we go a long. The media has been far bias in Obama's direction. We don't know enough about him. His religion is a big deal to me. You can't just disregard 20 years of racism and say everyone has a racist grandfather. The only problem with this explanation is Wright is not his Grandfather. This relationship was by choice. He chose to continue to be a part of these racist beliefs. I suggest you read his autobiography before you cast any vote for Obama.

As far as McCain since when is the white house a retirement home. Come on Grandpa just retire already. He is too old to make responsible decisions for this country.

If Obama and McCain are the choices I can’t wait to see who the Independents are. An Independent is the only party that can truly bring changes because they would have no political ties. Come on America you all have you forgotten that politicians will say anything to be elected. You Obama fans are in for a big disappointment.

Do you even know where obama stands on the issue of immigration! HA!
From his website:The time to fix our broken immigration system is now… We need stronger enforcement on the border and at the workplace… But for reform to work, we also must respond to what pulls people to America… Where we can reunite families, we should. Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should”
— Barack Obama, Statement on U.S. Senate Floor, May 23, 2007
Where we can bring in MORE!!!
None of the candidates share my view on illegal immigration. Therefore; I select the best of the three (Obama).

No to illegal aliens period !
Obama is as bad or worse on that issue as Bush or McCain.

I lean the same way you do on this issue but be aware that Obama will open the floodgates of illegal migration from Mexico and then legalize them after they sneak in.

But so will McCain or Hillary.

Yuk on all of them for that.

I don't think America exists to please foreigners.

If Americans don't like US policy we should change it.

But if the Euro's or whoever doesn't like it they can go to hell.

I Dont support Obama or Hilary. They're liars. I support McCain. He may be older, but age comes with experience and wisdom. and he has had a lot of experience. If it came down to Hilary or Obama Im not votin at all. How could Obama be a tougher candidate? He went to a church that preaches against America! How can you go to a church for 20 or so years and not know that he preached that all the time? He's a liar and he is very suspicious.

Not attempting to belittle Obama here, but that Harvard degree is in Law not Economics so it really isn't a credential on the subject.

I think you mean Michigan, not Minnesota.
If all these polls showing defections from the Democrats hold up, then you are talking millions of votes for McCain. We have 30% of Hillary supporters voting for McCain, which is roughly 4 million votes. If that holds up, then McCain could win in a walk. A possible 40-state landslide.
As for moderates, every poll I have seen show that the Wright controversy has hurt Obama badly. They now look at Obama as being an extremist, like it or not. He is losing ground with white blue-collar workers because of it.
He is going to lose in Pennsylvania, and perhaps even North Carolina, and has yet to win a single primary in a large Democratic state except for Illinois. At least he carried his home state. Gore did not.
He seems to be stronger in states he is not going to win, like Mississippi and Wyoming, than he is in Blue states. Winning caucases means little in a general election. I think he has peaked, and the aura has worn off. A good speech only goes so far. Overall, I think he is a weak candidate.
Dick Morris said recently that the Democrats "are stuck with him."
First let me start by stating, I'm independent;

Red and Blue state traditions usually count because very few people voted. However this election has attracted millions more to the voting booth, which helps Obama. The reason being Obama is the guy who drew people to the ballot box. This explains his record breaking contributions. Bush has killed off republican appeal and Hillary is a nut.

You are very misinformed and probably need to return to school, the aforemention is not theory, but proven fact.

Sorry I was butting in. You posed the question to someone else. If you are interested however it is University of Oregon. Not quite Harvard but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Also not in Economics but I wasn't claiming to be.
