Obama is on a roll. He may now be unstoppable.
> I’m wondering if Obama might be the better match up for the GOP
What GOP. Socialists are taking over the GOP. It isn’t the GOP anymore.
“Richmond got Wilder elected.”
And the fact his Republican opponent was weak and unpopular.
“NR is wrong on this one, because Obama will WIN those supposedly Republican states. Where are they, anyway? I don’t think that there are any “Republican” states any more. Even Kansas is not reliable in a general election, and on-and-off elects Demonrat governors.”
I think you’re being a little too gloomy in your forecast.
I agree. However, I think the republicans also have no chance against hillary. I think It’s either hillary or obama in the white house. This country is pathetic.
Bingo!
Are delegates going to be counted from Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea?
You are drastically overreacting to Obama, the new messiah. He is at a high water mark because this primary is not about issues. No one knows what he stands for yet. He and Clinton are almost identical when it comes to issues, so this primary is about persnality and pandering to various Dem groups. When his record is presented, people are shocked. His record will come out in the general, and it is not going to be good for him.
McCain is strong on most of the traditional Reagan coalition issues. defense, abortion, guns, etc. He is wishy washy on some issues and terrible on others to us, but not to the mainstream voters. Obama is radically left wing on most of the divisive issues in this country. These states he is winning, including the south and western states will almost certainly go GOP in November. Obama can win due to the midwestern swing states and VA, but he will lose the south and western states soundly. That assumes, of course, that McCain runs as good a campaign in the fall as he is now. I think Obama’s lack of experience will come home to roost with a lot of independent thinking voters, especially older voters that always vote.

This is juicy!
“The donation is significant, for some believe Barack Obama may be one of the unnamed “Illinois government officials” mentioned in the following ABC News report on the FBI affidavit filed in US Attorney Fitzgerald’s case against Rezko before Obama’s political godfather was arrested on Monday:
According to an FBI affidavit filed in the case, Rezko sought to get a visa for Auchi to visit the United States by contacting “certain Illinois government officials.”
Rezko sought the visa on behalf of his friend in 2004, and Rezko helped Obama finance the real estate transaction involving his Kenwood mansion in 2005.
We also learn today that Auchi’s company has deleted information on two websites regarding Auchi’s visit to Illinois in 2004 upon hearing that rumors of a meeting between Auchi and Obama are circulating in the US.”

An Iraq power plant is even involved. The Feds are definitely investigating this.
Enjoy!
All of these polls show Obama kicking McLame's a==.
All things considered, I think Obama is less dangerous than Hillary Clinton because he hasn't fined-tuned his machine as well.
McCain will be lucky if he carries a single state.
You nailed it!
pro decriminalization of drugs
back to african racist church
afirmative action admitee at harvard
At least it will be interesting
Obama will be much easier to beat than Hillary.
Blacks: 13% of the electorate
Women: 53% of the electorate
Simple math. Hispanics in CA will support McCain over Obama, or at least close to 50-50. McCain would win a landslide against Obama, race is very much a factor.
Obama won the Southern Primaries and Caucuses. Those aren’t states he’ll carry in the GE. Hillary won the natural blue states, and should he get nominated he’ll carry those. However he’ll lose a lot of Independents to McCain, and a lot of Conservative Dems. as well.
One word: “HUSSEIN.”
I surely don't want Hillary for president and I hope McCain goes down to a humiliating defeat so I have to say yes, Obama. Take him on in 2012 with someone who is worth supporting.
I think the question was if Obama was the better matchup for the GOP. Hillary would be easier to beat IMO.
That is just nonsensical. You need to brush up more on politics. What you said amounts to an ignorant statement.
