Barack Obama and his senior advisers are under fire for ignoring the advice of Democratic senators and governors who are concerned that they do not know how to beat John McCain.
The Democratic presidential candidate's slump in the polls has sparked pointed private criticism that he is squandering a once-in-a-generation chance to win back the White House.
Party elders also believe the Obama camp is in denial about warnings from Democratic pollsters that his true standing is four to six points lower than that in published polls because of hidden racism from voters - something that would put him a long way behind Mr McCain.
The Sunday Telegraph has learned that senators, governors and union leaders who have experience of winning hard-fought races in swing states have been bombarding Obamas campaign headquarters with telephone calls offering advice. But many of those calls have not been returned.
A senior Democratic strategist, who has played a prominent role in two presidential campaigns, told The Sunday Telegraph: "These guys are on the verge of blowing the greatest gimme in the history of American politics. They're the most arrogant bunch Ive ever seen. They won't accept that they are losing and they won't listen."
After leading throughout the year, Mr Obama now trails Mr McCain by two to three points in national polls.
Party leaders and commentators say that the Democrat candidate spent too much of the summer enjoying his own popularity and not enough defining his positions on the economy - the number one issue for voters - or reaching out to those blue collar workers whose votes he needs if he is to beat Mr McCain.
Others concede that his trip to Europe was a distraction that enhanced his celebrity status rather than his electability on Main Street, USA.

"The Democratic strategist told The Sunday Telegraph: "They think they know best. They don't return calls. There are governors and senators calling them up with ideas. They don't get back to them.."
If you morons really wanted to help this hapless bozo, you should have talked him out of that error, in the first place!! Now, it's way to late. That first gross error set the stage for his total dismemberment now, and there isn't a thing you clowns can now do about it...

re those “blue collar workers”- Somehow I just cannot see Archie Bunker and Al Bundy voting for Obama!
I think this election will go down as the one ruled by the pink collar workers. And I don’t think they were the ones laughing at Mr “Lipstick on a Pig”.
No matter HOW many tabloids the drive-bys put up at the Piggly Wiggly checkout stand, I think the pink collar ladies see right through the sliming of Sarah Palin and her children, and right through the phoney messiah and his bitter Ivy-league best dressed victim wife.
As Dolly Parton said:
“Get down off the cross, honey. Somebody needs the wood.
Ah-ha! I knew it...
So we are going to spend the next 8 years hearing about how we are a bunch of racists because we didn't vote for Obamasiah... nevermind the fact that we are way smarter than those who DID vote for Obama.
Here’s a video of one of their mettings: Barack Obama and his senior advisers.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
No, it's because neither the pollsters nor the media want to publish the real figures. Both have a lot of money to earn yet from this election, and polls showing a McCain landslide this early would tend to detract from the bottom line.
Racism is such a handy all-purpose excuse for these people.

Gee, ya think?
AND they had to slip the ‘hidden racist’ remark. Got a love those socialist Brits.
And this is what happens under pressure.

Send in Bob Shrum...he’ll know what to do.

Bingo.
“These guys are on the verge of blowing the greatest gimme in the history of American politics. They’re the most arrogant bunch Ive ever seen. They won’t accept that they are losing and they won’t listen.”
Arrogance thy name is liberal.
Columns?
LIES! When Bambi’s polls fell as he spoke at the German Tower, it was just America’s way of covering up for racism. When he got no Biden or convention bounce, it was just Americans’ sly way of hiding their racism from pollsters under cover of an event. When he flipflopped etc. etc. When Bambi obsessed on Palin and her polls went up, it was really racism.
The last thing white liberals will do is look at themselves and critique their own distance and arrogance.
