I think 20 years is about time.

In other news, Sen. Byrd has decided to leave the KKK (sarcasm)

What a bunch of nitwits - aplauding a politically convenient decision and overlooking 20 years of racialism.

Jim Bo write, quote, "According to the latest Field poll...."unquote
What a crock.
LATEST polls AT THE TIME of the PRIMARY vote(in Feb) also showed Obama beating Hillary by 5-10%. TPM and HUFF Post were predicting Obama to win CA, as did most networks.
This story about current poll beating Hillary in Calif is simply bad memory, dishonesty or something every more nefarious. Your pick.

One simple but IMPORTANT question -

IF Obama had any respect for MI and FL voters he would have worked hard for a do-over. Why did his side work so hard to STOP a do-over?

Give me a good answer and you have my vote

What a group of posters when it comes to Obama. First thing out of the window is CS - Yes I will be harsh. Here are a few choice random examples -

-Central problem Obama faces is his race (says billinvirginia) What a crock! His central problem is the positions he has taken to win the nomination. Meeting with leaders of hostile regimes the first year without precondition. Or his hidden stance on Social Security. Or his fried egg v scrambled egg Economic policy

-Seriously how does he NOT hold on to Kerry states?....This will be over by the time the lights go down at the Dem convention (says Mason). Dream on. Dream on. Can you sort of count the number of times the Dems have nominated the liberal of the candidates and won? Do not forget Teddy ran to the right of Carter and Carter lost. So did Mondale who ran to the left of Hart and lost. As did Dukakis and McGovern and Stvenson in '52,'56. (PS:In 2008 over the more liberal Bradley, Gore prevailed in the general election and went on to win the election).

-if African Americans turn out in the numbers they have for the primary, and they continue to go 9-1 for Barack, places like MI, PA, OH look a lot safer for Barack, and places like NC, VA, MO are put into play (says Dorn76. Open you eyes. MO is a lost cause. Obama won barely, barely over Clinton. He has ZERO chance, if that, in MO. I have inlaws in rural south MO. No play what so ever. Lived in VA for four years. Not a chance. He will not get the margin he need in the Northern VA suburbs to offset McCain votes downstate. Same in NC - research triangle area will not give him the margin either.

- Worst case scenerio?
OBAMA 302 MCCAIN 236
Obama wins CA, OR, HI, WA, CO, NM, DC, PA, MN, IA, WI, IL, MI, OH, VA, MD, DE, NJ, CT, RI, MA, NY, VT, ME
Best Case Scenerio?
Obama 359 MCCAIN 179
Obama adds NH, NV, FL, GA, MS
and makes plays for AK, TX, NC, and SC
I think the path is pretty clear...and I much prefer it to 2 out of 3 Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida or lose.
(so says DemDave1972).

No.Comment.Necessary.

HyperRevue - Do you accept or do you not? Assuming this bet is legal and all, I am anxious to know, one way or the other.

Thanks - PA

The big FLAW -

He will loose NJ.
He is most iffy in NY (yes, NY)
He is ahead by less than 5 in Mass.

Yesterday I was willing to put up a $100 bet that he will loose NY. No takers so far. The offer is still on.

Well, thank God we are nominating someone who will not DO or SAY ANYTHING to get elected!

Seems like for it before being against it kind of thing.
