Obama is doing great considering the circumstances!
Edited on Fri Sep-19-08 10:59 PM by blueinindiana
Racism

Corporate media.

The DLC types who would rather see John McCain win then Obama

The down right ingorance of the average American voter.




I could list many more but you get the idea.


So to have Obama ahead in the polls in America is a something of a small miracle in itself.

1. Absolutely!
I'm always amazed when I hear some talking head make the argument, "Everything favors Obama this election, so why isn't he far ahead?"

Um, because nearly half this country is rabidly partisan, because people are racist, because Barack Obama has a strange foreign sounding name, because he's been demonized as a Muslim, etc. etc.

It's just so great that he is where he is!

2. This needs to be said more often
He is fighting the odds on so many levels but he just keeps kicking. If he wins this thing and I think he is going to, it will be one of the most remarkable political feats in American history.

7. IMHO...
Barack and Joe are utilizing what Democratic candidates should have used before now. Good old fashioned truth telling. No two or three days before we respond, but right now!

Also, our candidates are suitably and strategically in every way complete. Barack, with soundness and intellect and the ability to garner the right points and comebacks at the right time. Joe, also with soundness and intellect and a bulldog fighter mentality. What a dynamic duo!

Come November, we win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:applause:

9. Indeed.
Obama and Biden also must have great recon teams.

I've seen speeches where they turn McCain/Palin's statements against them. Statements made just hours before.

8. Mais ou sont les paradigm-shifting landslides d'antan?
After 8 years of Bush, the Dems should be doing a lot better than "great considering the cirmcumstances."

But some people had to swoon. We understand. :shrug:
