Why Obama is a lock to win the election

[bobblehead]

how many people who say they support obama really know his positions on taxes...crime....regulatory burden? They know he is smooth and says hope and change a lot.

most people will not vote based on these issues. The undecided voters will vote on the economy, if they vote on any issue at all. Most undecideds will vote on who they like the best.

was just my opinion that mccain will edge him out...time will tell if I'm right or if you are...nice thing about this thread, we will have a conclusion as to who was right.

Re: Why Obama is a lock to win the election

I see this politics thread has brought out the love in the forum. That's my mission, to spread peace and love.

The only stories that I saw this spring about Republican cross-over to Obama, (and they were "endless, I agree) were from the open primary states, with Republicans figuring Obama would be more beatable in the general election than Clinton would be so they voted for Obama.

I never heard a single story about Republicans thinking OBama was more beatable, perhaps that was early in the campaign. After Super Tuesday, when Obama inched ahead, and especially later, most of the story was about Republicans voting Clinton to drag-out the race - Limbaugh's "operation chaos."

What I refer to are the stories about the "Obamacans." I heard many interviews with people saying they are voting Dem for the first time in their life because of Obama, many radio callers put-through on NPR with this view. I agree there may not be many such people, but the media has promoted them with an aura of respectful wonder.

I contrast this with the many stories of Democrats pledging to vote for McCain. These people are characterized either as 1) white male racists in pickup trucks, or 2) shrieking menopausal women in need of psychiatric attention.

The fact that you got your information from NPR blows up that theory before it starts. NPR is left wing and of course they are going to put through Republicans that expressed interest in voting for Obama. Im sorry but NPR has no credibility and niether does your theory.

1994, you are locked in combative mode and your thinking is foggy.

I did not advance a theory, just reported what I read and saw in mainstream and left-leaning media. NPR's credibility is irrelevant, the fact is they reach a broad audience. I gave them as one example, but I observed these slants in many places.

You've indicated that you only listen to media sources that you agree with. Fine. But then you ought to avoid discussions about which you are ignorant.

You (Harlan) presented a good well thought out case.

What gives? Even when I disagree with him in recent days, Harlan seems amazingly coherent.

No Commie from Chicago is going to win the election.

I would like to believe his exchanges with me has made him think more clearly. Ok, I'm arrogant rat, but it makes me feel good anyway.

[swede]

the passion for Obama is immense and intense. Can't compare him to John Kerry.

Obama's negatives with the Rev, etc. would have squashed an ordinary mortal by now.

That passion is called fed up with current situation, it can be quashed in a hurry when his true colors show. It is also passion of young americans who historically are not a reliable voting block.

Harlan is absolutely right. There will be no quashing. The media fix is in.

Obama is the chosen one. The Republicans will trot out another bad candidate in '12 and lose to Barry again despite foreign policy debacles and a series of trashy scandals by the Obama adminstration.

After that, twenty years of conservative Presidents duking it out with Chief Justice Dan Abrams and the other four Obama Supreme Court Justices, Keith Obermann, Michael Moore, Cynthia McKinnie, and Kwami Kilpatrick.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Swede, your sarcasm dripped down my computer screen and shorted-out my keyboard.

I have no idea how Obama will perform as a president. But as you can see in his eyes, he is a man of destiny. I urge you to be very afraid.

Not a blemish on the Man! "A New Hope?" May the Force be with you Mr. Obama!

Is that what is was? I say if that is scandy humor..leave humor to the jews and the blacks...they are funny.

Scandys should stick to what they do best...making cheap modern furniture. And, pickling herring.

Beautiful!!! That swedish asshole has needed his comeuppance for far too long.

[swede]

Laugh all you want Tyrone, but all Sweden need do is drop the merest hint of a threat of a possibility of a pickled herring embargo and other nations fall right into line...always have, always will. Even the Nazis backed off and were never able to fully subdue Sweden, and the untold story is that King Olaf had sent Hitler a package of headless pickled herring--a pretty gift with undertones of a message couched in Aryan mythological symbolism that even that coarse peasant boy Adolf was able to understand."Fynd eder kraft i sill fiske!" or "Find your strength in pickled herring!" my grandmother always liked to say.

Crackhead nation would be wise to emulate Sweden's judicious use of its economic might.

btw, Sweden supports direct negotiations with Obama without preconditions.

Don't kid yourself. Step outta line and we'll start eating kippers. Supertramp already whetted our appetite for them...savvy marketers are waiting for a Swedish misstep.

Rumors are already swirling that Obama has much love for swedish pop. He is afraid of saying whether he prefers Ace of Base, Roxette, or Abba best...you know, standard liberal...afraid to be pinned down on important issues.

This is much to Michelle's consternation as she loves to head bang to Swedish Death Metal....favors Carnage and Nihilist.

Thanks for the laughs!

(not far from the truth should it come to pass)
