Obama '08?

If I could pick how I'd want the graph to look so far... :wink:



This, to me, is indicative that most of the Hill-people are getting a grip.

It's interesting to see how the conservatives are trying to ignore the electoral votes; the final arbiter of this election.

As McCain continues to bash Obama, his numbers continues to decline.

Obama supporters and blissed-out Barry-heads everywhere: Are you ready for some righteous war? Are you prepared to step up and get ******* medieval in Afghanistan, and perhaps in Pakistan as well? You'd better be, for the man whose feet you're currently kissing has big plans to expand the War On Terror, and now is not the time for faint-hearted second-thoughts. Polish those boots, clean your weapons, and get in formation. The moment of truth is arriving soon.

Ah, who am I kidding? Of course American liberals will fall in line. They've been itching to show that they, too, can bellow for large body counts, cheer cluster bombs and patriot-bait those who dare question Dear Leader. Problem is, Bush and Cheney have been running the killing machine, and this has put a damper on the traditional liberal love of imperial war. But that era is ending, and unless Obama finds some way to blow this election (or if enough frightened whites in key states decide that having a president of color is a little too much for their racist psyches to absorb), we're going to see a renewed period of sustained bloodshed, with lots of dead and mangled Afghans in the foreground. As my friend Chris Floyd put it:

"For years now, 'serious' liberals have repeated the mantra that Bush 'took his eye off the ball' in the War on Terror by fighting in Iraq instead of focusing on Afghanistan, the 'good war,' the 'right war.' Now Obama looks set to call their bluff: 'You wanted a big war in Afghanistan? Here it is. Now what?'

What a bunch of losers you guys are. McCain's camp is doing exactly what Obama accused them of, and you guys turn around and accuse Obama of 'playing the race card?' Please! Your candidate is getting his ass kicked, he's desperate, and flailing about making embarrassing and silly commercials which do nothing but lessen him as a man, and you have nothing at all to say about that?

I think it's really true - you guys suck at defense. You have no idea how to actually defend McCain. He's not defensible, b/c you don't even like him. All you have is attack. It's sad.

Those 75,000 Democrats who will pack a football stadium for Barack Obama's convention speech won't be there just to whoop and holler on television. They'll form the world's largest phone bank to boost voter registration - fired-up supporters using computer targeting the campaign has spent months putting together.

The move to the Invesco Field at Mile High stadium for the convention's final night next month �- at an additional cost of $5 million �- will capture a huge crowd the Obama campaign plans to put to work. They'll be armed with data gleaned through "microtargeting" unregistered voters the campaign believes are ripe to back Obama if pressed to get on board.
