80. over 80 % of the country
Although I absolutely hate polls, it is pretty profound that over 4/5ths of the country believes we are on the wrong trac. I dislike the fact that Hillary is doing everything to undermine our democracy.(By that I mean she is now targeting pledged delegates). It is the most under-handed tactic I have seen so far. When she claims florida and michigan need to be heard in one breath, then claims the pledged delegates are not necessarily bound to the votes they are entrusted. How far down will you sink? upto this point with all said and done. with out florida and michigan, Barak has 700k plus votes. counting florida and michigan his lead is 120k. that gap would have been bigger if obama (like clinton)didn't follow the rules and had his name on the Michigan ballot. It horrifies me to think about how much goodwill the Clintons have squandered. I am amazed.

I digress. Given the current dissatisfaction that exists over America's direction, Obama will win the GE. He will do so by a very large margin. That is if he brands Mc Cain as the sequal to the chimps legacy. Remember, 2 things mc cain has said he is not strong on economics and 100 years war. those are the big guns that need to be fired.

we have all the ammunition but the one problem remains, we are using our arsenal on each other. Meanwhile the home foreclosure act is sending funding to banks for bad loans then buying and refurbishing the foreclosed house as a means to further alieviate the banks losses. dont worry though the gov is gonna give money toward credit counseling. Gimme a break. give the troubled mortgagee a break help those losing houses. The banks and deregulation caused this mess(a repub initiative). If the banks had stuck to regular guides then the borrowers would be having loans that took up no more than 28 % of their income.

My point is that I am begging Clinton and her supporters if she doesn't score big in Pa (by 15 % margin) bow out from the race for the good of the party and country. If the situation were reversed yes i would want to see him stay but ultimately I would encourage him to do the same.

God bless America
