Obama Landslide Gathering
Perhaps most encouragingly, a recent Pew study shows that support for John McCain is soft, with just 14% supporting the GOP Senator strongly, compared to 28% for Barack Obama.
The same study shows that the number of Hillary Clinton supporters who say they'll vote for McCain has shrunk to 17%. Interestingly, the number of voters who mistakenly think John McCain is pro-choice is also 17%. 56% of women don't know McCain's position on abortion. Additionally, according to Gallup, Obama has pulled even with McCain among voters with less formal education.
The conclusions that I draw from this are that Obama's support is more stable, and McCain's already soft support has nowhere to go but down.
Obama already leads McCain on most key issues, and is nipping at his heels on Iraq. The more people find out about McCain's stands on the issues, the less likely they are to vote for him.
Obama's trip to the Middle East could end up being the pebble that breaks the dam. If he performs well there, and returns with a consistent, credible message, he could pull ahead of McCain on that issue.
Aside from the numbers, however, there is a growing sense that McCain is the candidate of the past, and if there's anything voters are saying, it's that they don't want more of the same.

Well, it is too early to predict anything, and November is a long way away. I think it is true that conservatives are not wildly enthuastic about McCain, to put it mildly. And while not all Democrats are not enthusiastic about Obama, they are more committed to winning and taking the White House after eight years of Bush. If you really listen to conservative pundits, they are hoping more that Obama screws up than they are with McCain actually coming up with solid ideas. Because, hey, McCain has been in politics for over 25 years, and if he hasn't set the political world on fire yet....

Someone just sent me this link to a comprehensive video covering Barack Hussein Obama. In it is a complete history of where he came from, what he thinks, things he's said (in his OWN voice) and I'm sure he hoped that they would be lost and forgotten forever, but someone has captured them and put them on this shocking video for all to see and hear. It is called "Connect The Dots." Please watch and listen to this video and share it with others. It is the only way we can wake people up in time and try and stop this "Changeling" from overtaking the White House in November.
God help us all!!!

Do you really think one person can win the election for Senator Obama? How stupid. The only way McCain will experience a landslide is if he's standing on the top of a muddy hill.

Bill Clinton was driving that bus, he yelled "sniper fire" and Hillary threw herself under the bus, I think he ran over her twice, maybe three times.

I suggest you locate a cozy corner, grab your security blanket, put sugar on your thumb and stay there until President Obama sends someone to rescue you.

NEWS ALERT FROM THE CDC IN ATLANTA
There is an outbreak of a new disease called "Irritable Obama Syndrome" caused by watching Hillary stump for the Obama boy.
Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, acute gastrointestinal distress, jock itch, flatulence and erectile dysfunction, and an overwhelming urge to write a letter to the DNC.
THE ONLY CURE: Don't watch, don't listen and mostly, don't contribute.
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.
