I am very disturbed to have read in the Florida paper that "Obamaha said he didn't care about Florida voters. They don't mean anything." Maybe someone should tell him that we have freedom of speech and freedom of choice. This should make it quite clear that he really dosen't give a c__p about the rest of the country either. He makes it sound like we live in a communist country.
GOD help all of us because you young people are not looking at the facts and voting for the best person. The media has been saying since day 1 Obamaha. They are supposed to be unbiased. His wife has made quite a few mean and nasty comments and so has he. Why doesn't the media make an issue out of this in all fairness. His big thing is help New Orleans - HELLO what about all the other states that have had severe devistation and are still waiting for help for many,many years. It makes me sick to hear him say we need to help the poor there. Well there's alot of poor in all these other states too.

NO. The media has not been saying Obama from day one. And what states are 'waiting for help' besides New Orleans? As I recall, Florida has received a whole lot of help over the decades, and in a timely manner. So what ARE you talking about? When did Florida have a hurricane, and two years later people were still living in toxic trailers? When did Florida have low income housing knocked down after a hurricane, & the property given to big money men to build high income housing so the poor couldn't return home? Bring me up to speed on this, will you?
And do give the exact quote from Obama that "Florida doesn't matter." When did he say it, and to whom? Thanks. Oh, & while you're at it. Those "quite a few mean and nasty comments" you say his wife made. What are they, when did she say them, and to whom. Thanks again.

How pompous and patronizing!! Who do you think you are to make such a statement about the younger generation? They appear to have better judgment than you do and don't believe everything that is spoon fed to them by people who have their own agenda for doing so. GROW UP!

Barack Obama has been vastly underrated by the media pundits. He is much better at retail politics. His organization is better and - now that that ridiculously expensive super-duper Super Tuesday is over - he will be able to clean house on the calender ahead: Maryland, Virginia, DC will likely be a clean sweep. Wisconsin and Hawaii on the 19th. Then Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont and Texas*. One or two states after per primary until the election. Obama could conceivably clean house to the end.
*Hillary may think Texas is in the bag, but I was just there (to bury my Dad, he died on February 6th) and I can say that my conservative relatives are surprisingly supportive of Obama. Why? Because John McCain scares the hell out of 'em and the thought of a Hillary Clinton presidency also scares the hell out of 'em. I have a Republican Uncle who is now registered Democrat for this election. And we are in an odd agreement(I regret my Dad did not live to see the end of the Bush presidency).

Obama will not only get the nomination but will easily eclipse McCain in the november election and then America may become again what it once meant for the planet.(McCain can at least offer a legitimate worthy ethical representation of otherwise less important in modern world ideals but it wont be enough this time)
I want you all to study every superpower in history . Go back in time and see how they all collapsed one after the other. It was always from within by failing to pay attention to emerging priorities of their time, immersed in full arrogance and division guided by chaotic self interests, failing to embrace change and invest in what mattered...Arent we doing that very moment the same thing all over again? Arent we polarizing ourselves focusing on what stupid divides us, ignoring the problems that unite us all? Arent we neglecting to focus in science, technological superiority, advanced education , prosperity for the totality of society our very humanity and culture?

We conveniently ignore to focus on broadening prosperity and engage the ultimate utility, human beings! Yet it is through global prosperity the individualism of each one of us can emerge strong , optimistic and result in a balanced rapidly advancing society. In what ways do we as a society demonstrate we care about the quality of our members? By allowing subpar education , enabling worthless cultural engagements (celebrity gossips , poor quality media content etc) cultivating our worse nature , ignoring the very forces that once made US a system worth emulating. We spend our resources in pessimistic fueled campaigns such as the mistake Iraq was and yet we cant find the decency to differentiate and offer respect towards those individuals that had the courage to stand up and alert us of the mistakes before they were done!

We turn our heads away from environmental protection, energy crisis , advancements in medicine , space research , physics , all those things that once defined worldwide admiration. Until when are we going to tolerate having such a significant concentration of resources and talent being wasted in the eternal meandering, polarizing, purposeless engagement the republicans have imprisoned us all in, an endless debate about abortion , gay marriage, stem cell research , mythological terrorism fears that are not even dealt with properly and other vastly unimportant thoroughly hypocritical at their core issues of pure garbage, irrelevant to modern world.
How much of our potential have we wasted this decade? How much have we ignored to truly invest within and facilitate a better optimistic economy that thrives on innovation and talent ?

Please that tired crud about his not voting for the war. He said himself in 2004 that he could not say how he would have voted since he was not in the senate and was not privey to the intelligence. So enough about that.
"In June of 2006, Obama voted against a proposal by Senator John F. Kerry to remove most troops from Iraq within a year, calling it an "arbitrary deadline" that could "compound" previous US missteps there. He first voted against funding for the war in May 2007, after he had declared his candidacy for president, when he said "enough is enough," ...
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008...
He never cast a vote in the Senate or made a single speech on the Senate floor about the war until he was running for President. He only started talking about the war when public opinion was solidly on his side. Until then he kept his mouth shut about it, he takes the safe position every time.

Looks like McCain wants Texas pretty bad by floating the rumour of Kay Bailey Hutchinson of Texas for VP. It is obvious that the republican elite are trying to thwart Huckabees momentum.

Were they taking the news from this AP report?
Senior Taliban Figure Caught in Pakistan
"In June 2007, Dadullah featured in a Taliban video depicting what was described as a ceremony for suicide bombers selected to hit American, British, Canadian, French, German and Afghan targets, Venzke said"

When are we going to stop paying attention to the polls?
Clinton was supposed to have an easy nomination win according to early polls - remember her huge nationwide lead?
McCain was considered finished a few months ago

That's because Bush isn't a conservative. He doesn't have a clue about what conservatives believe

There is a difference between conservatives and neo-conservatives! A conservative is more like Ron Paul... someone you can debate with and not have patriotism questioned just for disagreeing with them and who won't grow governmental power. A neo-conservative is more like Bush- they wear the name because it makes them look good, then p_ss all over conservative beliefs! I'm still not decided on McCain though! He might very well be a real conservative, but I doubt it. The left-wing has the same problem at the moment, people taking there party to far to the left then what most Americans probably want. The country, by and large, is centrist. Historically we don't do well when we go far left or right wing, I'd say we do best a step to the right or a step to the left.

aniokly - Adolf Hitler had a very high Conservative rating. Does that make him a winner in your eyes? Probably...since you seem to be a lockstep con.

First of all a poll 6 months out is pretty useless. They have not started running against each other yet. Second a dead heat between the two is within the margin of error and considering the polls have not been very accurate I don't give that much weight. Third even if it is dead on this gives no indication of who would win the election. We don't elect by popular vote we elect by the electorial college and Barack has lost in every state that has a large EC count. McCain has won in those states. So please don't think the keys to the White House are his. People were excited about his big win in Missouri when all was said and done he won 49% to 48% that is not a big win. You need to be cautious. His wife is out there saying she may not support the Democratic ticket if he does not win it(I can imagine the outcry from Obama's supporters if Hillary's husband said that). That is not smart and it could back fire and lose the support of a number of Hillary supporters. He can still lose in NOV

You are correct, he can lose. The Republicans are very good at getting that electoral vote, when they need to. I do think though that Obama has a better chance against McCain in a general election, as matters stand now I think though. I do find it quite nasty how Hillary is portrayed in such sexist terms sometimes. I won't vote for her but not because she's a woman. I think that Obama is a great candidate and I like that he doesn't feel beholden to the party, or his followers feel beholden to it. Party loyalty got us into alot of the mess we are in now. If Hillary attacked the Democratic Party I might just vote for her. Reason I'd vote for McCain before I'd for Hillary is because McCain has, at points, gone against party line and not tried to hide it at all. I'd like two candidates who have little party loyalty and I'd like to see Congress cleared out of that old toe the party line feeling both parties demonstrate.

I beg to differ. Are you saying that if Barack Obama won the nomination that he wouldn't pick up those states Hillary won in the primaries? Well let's look at those: They are Arizona, Arkansas, California, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. Excepting Arizona, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, I see all the other states voting Democratic in the general election (including Arkansas, where I live). In addition, look for Obama to build a couple more to the states Gore and Kerry won in 2000 and 2004.
If Obama is the Democratic nominee (and I believe he will be), he WILL be our next president!

Obama leads McCain, who cares? I don't like McCain, Clinton or Obama. McCain is an old DC insider. He's as bad as Kerry when it comes to switching sides. That plus he's pretty much a jerk. Hillary didn't trust her when she was the gov's wife in Arkansas. Didn't trust her when she was the President's wife. And I still don't trust her. She's all for taking my money, rights and freedoms away to give them to someone else.
I've tried listening to Obama and I still can't figure out why he should be our president. He seems to be a nice guy, good family man, respected in his community. But I don't see him being a good president much less why I should vote for him. He's a big time lefty who likes bigger taxes. Some have tried to claim he's like JFK. My father worked for JFK. President Kennedy had his faults but he was a war hero who stood up to anyone. Obama with his cut & run plan isn't made of the same stuff. He doesn't have my support yet.

Your father may have worked for JFK, but I dare say his brother and sister knew him slightly better, and they are backing Obama. Why should not a nice guy, a good family man, respected in his community represent this country? What is your problem with that?
I believe based on your statement, that you have bought into that idiotic phrase "cut and run." No, not cut and run - have the common sense to come out of where you never should have been and stop allowing good citizens with God knows how much potential to lose their lives or be seriously (in some cases, permanently) injured in a war based on lies! Pride and arrogance has caused too many American lives to fall as it is. As stubborn as a mule is, he's got sense enough to know when it's time to move!

It wasn't so long ago that "The Polls" showed Rudy Giuliani to be a shoo-in for the GOP nomination. Perhaps he was - had the election been held in January 2008. A poll this early - and before the swiftboating - is fun but meaningless. Isn't "electability" - based on polls - one of the reasons the Democrats nominated Kerry?
