The Stars Seem To Be Aligning Against Barack Obama
Huliq News ^ | August 18, 2008

Posted on 08/18/2008 6:25:25 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The Politico brings the results from the NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll about Barack Obama, John McCain and the U.S. Elections of 2008:

July's NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll found that three in four Americans believe McCain can "handle" the role of commander in chief, while only 19 percent said he "cannot," compared to a 50 percent to 42 percent split for Obama.

When asked which party is more capable of "dealing with the war on terrorism," 40 percent of respondents to the latest NBC/WSJ poll said Republican while 29 percent said Democrat. The parties had been effectively tied as recently as January of this year, and the 11-percentage-point gap is the largest since 2004, the last year these numbers shifted so dramatically and, not coincidentally, the last presidential election year.

No big surprise that the Republican presumptive nominee has the lead on national security issues, but the gap he has opened against Obama is large and recent events involving Russia-Georgia will highlight McCain's experience and the public's trust in him, even more.

Furthermore it seems the stars are aligning against Barack Obama in other areas.

His spectacular failure at the Saddleback Church as well as McCain's showing how better prepared he is, is working against Obama.

Obama's campaign also busted on Obama's support for infanticide is not going to help him either. He is being nailed on all sides of that issue.

Hillary Clinton supporters, 18 percent of them, say they will vote for John McCain and Lady de Rothschild, one of Britain’s most influential political hostesses, speaks out against Obama publicly again.

Gallup shows that all this negative news about Obama, with other events, he has lost the small lead he once had over John McCain.

Gallup Poll Daily tracking for Aug. 14-16 finds John McCain and Barack Obama tied at 45% in the latest presidential election trial heat.

The race has tightened over the past several days with Obama's modest advantage over McCain disappearing. (To view the complete trend since March 7, 2008, click here.) Registered voters' preferences appear quite stable at the moment -- in the last five individual days of Gallup tracking polling, the candidates have been closely matched with neither candidate holding more than a two percentage point advantage on any day.

McCain has also pulled even in Ohio.

To be hemorrhaging this way, this close to the Democratic convention, does not bode well for Obama nor the Democrats.

To top it off, I just received an email showing that the National Black Republican Association wants to place 50 billboards all over the City of Denver, while the Democratic Party is having their national convention there.

This is a campaign like no other. With your help, we will put up 50 - that's right - 50 "Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican" billboards all over the City of Denver, while the Democratic Party is having their national convention there.

What a way to upset the "coronation" of the Democratic Party's "messianic" presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama. Arrogant is the word for Obama, a far left-winger, who is attempting to assume the mantle of Dr. King by giving his political acceptance speech on the anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" inspirational civil rights speech. History shows that Dr. King was a minister who embraced the traditional values that made our country great. Obama has the most liberal voting record in the US Senate. Obama is no MLK.

The stars are aligning and it looks like they are starting to favor John McCain....nothing like waiting for the last minute to make things interesting huh?

50 billboards?! That's going to make the democrats squirm.

I think John & Jane Q. Public are finally back from vacation, getting the kids ready for school and starting to pay attention to this interminable election cycle, and they don't like what they hear when they listen to him.

We can hope. Plenty of other things to hope for as well.

Now the Left and the OHB Media are sniveling about McCain 'cheating', and not, in Andrea Mitchell's word's 'staying in the Cone of Silence'.

These people are such sore losers.

Barack Obama seems to be aligning against Barack Obama. This supposedly great silver-tounged orator comes off as a total retard every time he opens his yap.

When Barack Henry Obama is four points down going into the Convention, are the Supers going to go down with the ship, or make the switch to Hillary? Or Algore? Or a Donk To Be Named Later?

If Bambi is down next week, there is no way he will win in November.

He's just a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude.

Interesting article, but the reference to Britain’s Lady de Rothschild seemed out of place. The same can be said for the rest of Europe’s opinion about the election.

Enough will switch for there to be a brokered convention.

BHO/HRC or HRC/BHO.

In Iowa where it all started, WHO Des Moines (Reagan's Alma Mater) afternoon host Steve Deace spent two hours charbroiling Hussein as a babykiller.

Backing up the steamroller and rolling over the spouter of "least of these" again and again.

Deace is the voice of the Huckabee supporters, the loudest of the loud evangelicals.

Rush today made a point (as did Mike Gallagher and Dennis Prager) of saying the life vs. abortion issue is a winner for Republicans and one which the Democrats don't want.

The papier mache Bamzilla has been left out in the rain. It took so long for Soros and Axelrod to bake it, they don't think that they can take it, and they'll never have that recipe again.

Something about Calypso Louie's Mother Ship and the Number Nineteen--when Polarik and Texas Dude said Obama was alien, I thought they meant he was at least terrestrial.

He runs with Kermit on a Little Green Men ticket.
