When your spin is basically "Well they just must be a bunch of uneducated racists" it's not good for anybody.
Obama hasn't won blue collar workers, McCain concievebly can win those votes, I am not so sure about Obama, he's got a lot of work to do to win those votes.
Gah Lyle that is so garbage he obviously meant to say 47.Quote:

Lyle the voter registration here is 2 to 1 DemocratQuote:

amat....I didn't say it meant anything in the PRIMARY....it means a BUNCH in the general election. When you lose by 40% then you're going to lose the state it doesn't matter what party you're in or what you stand for you lost by 40% and you'r going to lose the state to whoever runs against you in a general election.....if Obama ran against the son of Satan who demanded 50 Aborotions a day and released all the sex offenders from the state prisons, Obama would lose given the numbers he had in West Virginia.
I hate to be confrontational but it's the TRUTH and along with Michigan and Florida and given his poor connection with blue collar workers it's going to be hard for him to win the general election....I hate to break it to you but POLITICALLY it's reality until he seriously changes himself in the public's view.....sorry bro, I see what people like in Obama but I am not voting for him.....not now and not anytime soon because slick talkers and guys with no experience haven't helped us at all in the past 16 years
As for that....well if Dan Quayle said it then it would be on Saturday Night Live and everyone would laugh their assesoff at it but since Obama says it then it's "just a mistake"/"He was tired give him a break".....accept it he fucked up and it was funny as fuck....it's no different than "You have to put food on your family" or "Awesome speech man" from W.Quote:

North Carolina is the most progressive state in the south, our state senate/governors/etc are all democrats and yet nationally we vote for Republicans.
If Obama wins, I'm rooting for him to do the right things and get America back on track but if he doesn't I'm going to call him out on it.
Right now Im looking at it like this,Bush and Cheney have left the living room looking like a frat party gone south,McCain will just keep trashing the joint,Hillary will ignore alot of it,and start dusting,Im hoping Obama will actually pick up the damned furniture and the nachos on the floor.Quote:

The problem is that, no matter who wins, the country is not going to get back on track for years. I know you don't seem to like Bill Clinton, but at least we were operating in the black for a bit during his term. The war, economically speaking, is only beneficial to select groups in our country - while being essentially devestating to the nation as a whole. I hear a lot of rationalization as to the reasons behind the slumping economy, but a lot of that is just plain bullshit. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...Quote:

....the problem is that people are making big bank on this faux split in America between Democrats and Republicans and you're playing into it.
Sure I don't like Obama's politics but he's not going to destroy America...I don't like Hillary but she's not going to destroy America...I do like McCain and he's not going to destroy America either. So all this talk about who is going to continue what is just talk...I think all the candidates want to do a lot of things different or better than W.
America has survived lousy Presidents on more than one occasion and this won't be the last time something like this happens.
I think these are very dangerous assumptions to make. The nation might withstand deep divisions, but then again, it might not. I truly believe that if some fundamental changes in the structure - in the very foundation - of government do not occur reasonably soon, then our nation will not survive. Mind you, I'm speaking in the long-term, but I care about that as well.Quote:
