Barack Obama facing his first defeat as Sarah Palin hits Georgia campaign trail
telegraph.co.uk ^ | Nov. 28, 2008 | Gerald Warner

"Please join me... on Tuesday, December 2, and head to the polls just one more time this year." That plea came from Barack Obama in a recent radio advertisement supporting Jim Martin, the Democrat candidate in next Tuesday's run-off election in Georgia for the state's Senate seat. If you thought the US elections were over - think again. Barack Obama knows they are not. He also knows he is facing probable defeat next Tuesday, in what will be the first major setback for his fledgling administration.

The Republicans, on 40, need just one more seat to mount a filibuster in the Senate against contentious Obama legislation. And there will be plenty of that, not least his Freedom of Choice Bill mandating unlimited abortion across every state of the Union. Obama's hit-the-ground-running, brook-no-opposition instincts demand a filibuster-free Senate.

I’m sure some RINO like Arlen Specter would fill in for the missing votes.
George Voinivich, I’m watching you!

Add to that the disillusionment within the Obama core vote over the growing “vote Obama, get Clinton” perception attaching to his emerging administration appointees and the GOP must be favourites to win.

“vote Obama, get Clinton”
“vote Obama, get Clinton”
“vote Obama, get Clinton”
“vote Obama, get Clinton”

change we can believe in...lol

Where is Obama’s birth certificate? Ask this question with every post. Don’t let this lack of information go without getting answers.

Someone should comprise a list of all the positions that have been filled with Clinton cronies..if it hasn't already been done.

You would also want their associations with all the evil things that have occurred.

This thread isn't about Obama's birth certificate.

Save yourself some trouble and just make that your tag.

At least some of the credit for defeating Martin will have to go to Gov. Palin, as she’ll be the last big gun down there. I’m sure the obama people will notice that.

As far as Chris Matthews running for the Senate, he’s been talking about that for quite some time. Although I have no respect for Arlan Spectar, Gov. Palin should go all out in 2010 to defeat Matthews, since he is one of her biggest critics.

Good idea but do people read the tags? Do what ever it takes.

Matthews is just ‘slightly’ left of Specter, IMHO.

Has Matthews formally announced? Seems once he does announce, he has to give up his tv/column gigs.

I guess I’m a little slow, but would someone explain this filibuster free Congress. The dims will pass whatever, and O will not veto anything they pass. Repubs will not stick together long enough to keep anything from coming to a vote, so what’s the point?
