Obama ties with Hillary in voters who thought the economy was "good"
Hillary creamed him in voters who thought the economy was "not so good" and "poor" by margins of 46-37 for "not so good" and 53-30 for "poor."

You want to know why Obama will lose on Super Tuesday. He's not speaking to the people hurting. He's speaking to those in need of "inspiration" like if picking a president is a fucking Dr. Phil TV show. The people hurting need a fighter to beat the republican agenda. And that fighter is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

1. He's running a commercial right now that features Laurence Tribe
Laurence Tribe. How does he intend to project the "common touch" with strategy like that?

12. Obama's coalition
* spoiled college kids that never had to work for a living and don't have a clue what real life or struggle is about

* rich liberals who want inspiration in their life and are so well off they don't care who becomes president, it doesn't effect them

* blacks who the obama campaign has convinced the clinton's are racist by devious twisting of clinton comments

* republicans/indies who are polluting the democratic primary with their star crazed media fueled infatuation with Obama

That's his support in a nutshell.

18. you cant just generalize everyone
godddamit. I don't support Obama. Many of my friends do. One of them is a second generation Indian-American. His parents moved here and his dad worked really hard to get a decent job so he could help his son have a good life. His son, my friend, gets some financial assistance from his parents, but not a lot, as they want him to learn the value of things on his own. He works a job to get through a college. He got excellent grades, so his situation is helped by scholarships. Don't know if that counts as "spoiling", because he still works nearly fulltime.

I also have several black friends who considered Hillary and John Edwards before deciding on Obama. They didnt do that becuase they are rich, spoiled, or deluded about the racial biases of the Clintons. They believe that Barack Obama is the best candidate.

I bet people like that just make you shit a brick. A group of fellow Democrats that you may have to stoop a few levels lower to mock.

People make different choices.

Get over it.

Dick.

2. I can imagine the girls from "Sex and the City"...
at an Obama rally. Shallow and superficial is the name of the Obama game.
He makes you feel good and does nothing else.

16. I picture "The Music Man" myself...
No instruments, no talent, no instruction -- but if you think hard enough, and keep humming the same tune, magically the instruments will appear, and suddenly everyone will be a virtuoso!

Oops, wait -- that only happens in the movies. My bad!

3. Hillary is your typical blow dried Democratic candidate. The candidate of "groups".
Pander to all the little "groups", tell them what they want to hear, divvy up the spoils among all of the "groups" and try to cobble together a majority coalition.

11. Did Hillary make a ploy for the anti-gay fundamentalist vote and the "ex-gay" vote?

5. Dude, if people really knew what the fuck they were doing
They would've picked Edwards if the economy was the issue. He's the most populist and talks about poverty and working people's issues.

Face it, your candidate is WINNING the Dr. Phil watching dumbfucks. The ones who care about handshakes. And who believe spam Muslim emails.

And I lived in Florida for several years, both Central and Southern. Lots of old racists. Lots.

Your candidate's "base".

14. I love that donkey!
I just ordered the t-shirt.

I live in a rural county. We despise the stereotypes they try to perpetuate about Democrats. After I wear the shirt to our next committee meeting, I bet you will get a few more orders.
