Poll: 61% of Jewish voters want Obama to win
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/201467...
My 68 year old husband, growing up poor on the South Side of Chicago, a Catholic -- is for Barack Obama.
My brother-in-law -- frankly as bigoted as they come, is for Barack Obama.
I'm sorry we don't have any relatives in Appalachia. Because everyone knows, as Appalachia goes, so goes the country.
Any other Hillary demographics you want to throw at me?
'Nuff said!
Koch is a brain-dead troll.
Obama needs a MASSIVE ground operation. The media is pro-war, so Obama's 50-state strategy has to bypass the media to speak directly to the American people. The war machine runs the media and its purpose: elect McCain, since DINO Hillary is extinct.
"Losing his bearings" is already part of the political lexicon.
This is yet another example of that. Apparently in Clinton-land, we always need to keep our inhumane and counterproductive options for mass-destruction open, just in case.
Pretty much explains all her tactics in the race for the candidacy, doesn't it?
Clinton Camp: "We're in striking distance of the popular vote." Hmm, two weeks ago I distinctly heard someone from the Clinton camp say they have won the popular vote. Sounds like the campaign is going in all kinds of driections.

You will regret this. Trust me. And it will be used against you. It's acutely embarrassing - as is the tone of righteous indignation. Leave that to Dobson et al. You've had an education and should know better. I've respected this blog in the past and read it several times a day. Please don't make it impossible to continue to respect your opinions.
Let me say again - and I beg you to get over your anger and think - you are using the tactics of Rush Limbaugh. I would beg you to stop. By indulging your indignation you undermine the credibility of the whole blog.
Obama needs to destroy McCain's image. The same way McCain is going to try to destroy Obama's image. It is about reputation. McCain and the GOP will try to destroy the image of Obama. Obama better get prepared and start an offensive operation because McCain and the GOP will start an offensive operation against Obama. What are you going to do Obama when the GOP and McCain come after you?

======================
EXACTLY. It is why I've said over and over again. Democrats need to stop fawning over McShame's supposed "honorable" military service. Remember John Kerry's honorable service and how it was TRASHED by Republicans? Nothing should be off limits, including those Viet Nam vets who keep saying McShame SANG LIKE A BIRD in the Viet Nam prison camp to get special treatment. NOTHING should be off limits.
Being attacked by trolls is an honour! ;-)
i'd say this qualifies as exactly the type of thing Edwards warned against.
i still think using a Monica award misses the mark but whatever.
it should be a Rove award since the Clintons are using underhanded, right-wing, fear-based, lying Rovian tactics.
Uh-oh.....
How war hero John McCain betrayed the Vietnamese peasant who saved his life
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/...
That is true. Nothing should be off limits because the GOP will not limit their attacks to a high standard. Attacks have to be coordinated and come in different levels. Some might be direct but others are subtle. Nothing connected to the Obama directly. Some attacks have to be downright dirty! Why? Because some of the McCain and GOP attacks are going to be downright dirty! All of this is going to play out in the MSM media! Blogs help but control of the MSM is essential! Now if I can see that why can't the Democratic party see it?
They do see it. Obama knows this is coming. After the Philly "debate", Obama said the general election has already begun. And besides, Obama needs Clinton's supporters, he doesn't need McCain's. That's why he never attacked Hillary because he doesn't believe in fratricide, but he will hold no punches against the GOP. Obama's from Chicago. That's a tough town!!!! ;-)

McCain = Bush No heart, No one should forget someone who saved your life. John McCain is lower that low!
In politics it is not enough just to throw punches. Obama will have to throw punches that are below the belt. But Obama can not be caught doing that. Does his organization have the smarts to pull this off? That is what it will take to win in November? It will not be pretty!

"In politics it is not enough just to throw punches. Obama will have to throw punches that are below the belt. But Obama can not be caught doing that. Does his organization have the smarts to pull this off? That is what it will take to win in November? It will not be pretty!"
Does he have the smarts? are you serious? His campaign has just divised and executed a strategy that took a freshmen senator and allowed him to beat one of the most qualified field of Dem candidates in history, including the wife of one of the most beloved POTUSs in recent history who also happens to be a well regarded Senator in her own right.
When are people going to get it, the very reason for Obamas success is because he isn't following the traditional political playbook. I realize this may be very scary to those who are used to using the "old metrics" to measuring a candidates electability, but has he not already shown that the old ways are vulnerable?
Clintons main battle cry has been that she's a "fighter" and Obama isn't. Yet, here we sit with her still throwing around haymakers and Obama on cruise control to the nomination. At some point it is going to sink in to everyone that the slogan "change" is far more than that. Change is also Obamas political strategy and although it is frought with challenges and dangers, it also represents a much more compelling answer to the GOP smear tactics than to just slug it out with them. It still has me dumbstruck that the Clintons, of all people, didn't see the brilliance in Obamas tactics given that Bill himself won the nomination and the WH using some fairly unconventional tactics at the time, and faced very similar concern as Obama does today.
That's E-L-L-I-O-T-T
Trust me, McCain is going to implode. McCain and his family have too many skeletons in their closet to list, and the left is way more effective using the web to disseminate information.

It's under the radar, but a few federal cases are still going forward challenging his "natural-born citizenship" status. If they rule in his favour, all the crimes of GITMO will fall under US jurisdiction. McCain's adopted daughter is from a Muslim family. The Vietnam government has his Hanoi tapes. The S&L crisis. His wife's arrest for stealing drugs for her addition. I wish I had more time.
Clinton: 1,259,620 votes - 53.5%
Obama: 1,055,769 votes -44.8%.
margin: 8.7%

Why does MSM claim Clinton has a double-digit win in Ohio? And Obama won Texas too, but not according to MSM.....
Maybe you should give yourself four "Uncle Tom's" for your sexist award?
Sorry about the missing t.
I hope you are right. You seem to know McCain's weaknesses but do the Democrats and Obama camp know them? I feel they are both too afraid of getting dirty to play in the majors. We will see and know by November.

Just an observation, while I agree with giving Clinton surrogates Hell, I think it is unfair to use the "Monica system".
Monica Lewinsky was a 20 year old woman who was enamored of Bill Clinton and got involved with him. It is unfair to use her face as a weapon to slam Hillary Clinton. What happened is fair game, but to use Monica's face is just wrong. She was 20, she made a mistake. Clinton was over twice her age and has no excuse. Please, cut the woman some slack. It is a bit misogynistic to use Monica's actual face in such a humiliating fashion.
How about using a vacuum cleaner pic to represent a blow job? Keep Monica's face and her name out of it. She's paid the price for her mistake and it is unfair to demand she keep paying.
Ok, I'm slow. Why is it obvious Ed Koch is doing this at Hillary's request? Ed Koch backed Bush in 2004, he's certainly capable of being saber rattler all on his own.
Being that it would take a miracle of epic proportions for Hillary to be the nominee, how could a Democrat with any standing in the party say things that might potentially hurt Obama in November. Ed Koch must need his meds because this kind of talk doesn't help Hillary; it helps McCain.
I'm not in agreement with much of what former Mayor Koch wrote in his letter, but he was correct about how the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction helped prevent direct hostilities between the Soviet Union and the United States and it's NATO allies; hostilities which both sides recognized as the first step to nuclear war.
You may continue your HRC hate-fest.
