Barack Obama is still having trouble closing the deal with about a third of Hillary Clinton supporters, even though Clinton supporters say they trust Obama more than John McCain to handle nearly all the top issues. A new poll found that 58 percent of those who backed Clinton during the primaries now support Obama. That’s the same percentage as in June, despite Clinton’s strong endorsement of Obama. As a result, McCain has greater support from his party than Obama, with 87 percent of Republicans backing McCain and 74 percent of Democrats saying they will vote for Obama.

Obama not making progress with Clinton dead-enders – maybe if Hussein-Obama-Bin-Biden would learn how to talk he could make some progress — duuuuuuuh – uuuuh about uuuuuh the duuuuuhh – i mean like duuuuuuh — GOOD GRIEF – give the man a prompter
Obama has great message to take this country in a bold new direction.
the message?
Republicans are bad and their ideas are bad. The End.
Is this even unusual? What percentage of people who supported a candidate who lost in the primary typically don’t support the primary winner?
A little context Editors.
Or how about some entertainment? After all, since only a racist would not support Obama then 1/3rd of Clinton supporters are obviously racist. Progressive Emotionalism is so fun.
That is a good message, albeit a little late.
“a bold new direction” – take from those who have and give it to those who have not – it seems I’ve heard this before – oh yeah !! Communism [ alive and well ]
So the “dead-beats” are having problem with the “dead-enders.”
get back in line sheeple!
“Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey,” he said. “If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem.”

Biden garbles Depression history
Joe Biden’s denunciation of his own campaign’s ad to Katie Couric got so much attention last night that another odd note in the interview slipped by.
He was speaking about the role of the White House in a financial crisis.
“When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed,” Biden told Couric. “He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened.’”
As Reason’s Jesse Walker footnotes it: “And if you owned an experimental TV set in 1929, you would have seen him. And you would have said to yourself, ‘Who is that guy? What happened to President Hoover?’”

I am in shock…a thread by the Eagle about Obama that isn’t glowing praise of ‘the One’?? what has happened, did Randy Scholfield leave town already?
Subtract the folks who will never vote for someone so “different,” i.e., not ordinary middle class petite bourgeosie.
But then you have to add all the new voters who finally have a reson to go to the polls . . .
After Howard Dean and Barack Obama, the new Democratic Party is not your dad’s Democratic Party.
It is however a lot more like your grandfather’s Democratic Party.
Viva FDR. Viva Harry Truman.
CraponAmerika-It is however a lot more like your grandfather’s Democratic Party.

Howard Dean: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
I scream for Howard Dean!
“a bold new direction” – take from those who have a little and give it to those who have a lot – it seems I’ve heard this before – oh yeah !! Bush-style Communism [ alive and well ]
When the dead-enders eventually come around, and the majority will, just think of the landslide victory for Obama nation.
get back in line sheeple!
I see your line is nice and straight, and right in lockstep.
I just thought that was funny – ha ha !!!!
NOT
I think in the end, we will find that many people expected to vote for Obama will not vote for him.
He is extreme left, even by democrats standards. Many will not like that, and in fact fear the extremism.
And others will follow what history and human nature has shown: will vote with their race.
Sorry on the later, but someone has to be honest. Although I think there are fewer of these as society becomes educated (like not killing Downs babies), I still think many will vote by race.
Not to mention the super hero, the One, with the power to create “change” is rapidly wearing off.
People are tired of it and realize Obama is no more capable of promoting change – as his seasoned VP is.
“Dead-enders” must be the new politically correct term for democrats with above average intelligence.
Change, isn’t that mccain’s new platform, since experience went out the door with palin?
Well Phillip,
You Obamaniacs might START by not referring to Clinton supporters as “dead enders”.
Thing that sold it for me?
No way, no how, no Sarah Palin. As more people come to know her, or rather come to know how she and her agenda are being hidden from them, they’ll realize as I did. Sarah Palin and John McCain must NOT win this election. On this, all depends.
Here AlGore comes to save the day!!!!
My parents who live out in the sticks of Southwest Sedgwick county got a call from Micelle Obama during the primaries. My mom and dad are in their 70’s and they were so impressed by Micelle’s call that they have since been in solidly in the Obama camp. My parents grew up in an era when my father’s father worked for a man in Oklahoma who by law had to leave town by sundown. My grandfather’s boss was so light, he could pass the paper-bag test – and thus he could stay in town. Let’s not perpetrate this crime of race hatred and nonsense for our children. I won’t, I can tell you that.
America, this is our chance to make something of ourselves. Palin/McCain – Thanks, but no thanks!!!
Sooo…
Davis just suggested that we elect Obama because of the color of his skin.
Why do the libs continually bring race into this campaign?
GolfNut = Robert Redford
For those of us who have seen reality,
Not so much…
Sorry, Dave, race, gender, sexual orientation is an issue in America! I know a surprise for FAT dumbasses like you!!!

Complimentary “Crazy As A Loon” Ringtone
Back before I was a movie star
Straight off of the farm
I had a picture of another man’s wife
Tattooed on my arm
With a pack of Camel cigarettes
In the sleeve of my tee shirt
I’m headin’ out to Hollywood
Just to have my feelings hurt
That town will make you crazy
Just give it a little time
You’ll be walking ’round in circles
Down at Hollywood and Vine
You’ll be waitin’ on a phone call
At the wrong end of a broom
Yes, that town’ll make you crazy
Crazy as a loon
So, I headed down to Nashville
To become a country star
Every night you’d find me hangin’
At every honky-tonk and bar
Pretty soon I met a woman
Pretty soon she done me wrong
Pretty soon my life got sadder
Than any country song
That town will make you crazy
Just give it a little time
You’ll be walking ’round in circles
Lookin’ for that country rhyme
You’ll be waitin’ on a phone call
At the wrong end of a broom
Yea, that town’ll make you crazy
Crazy as a loon
So, I gathered up my savvy
Bought myself a business suit
I headed up to New York City
Where a man can make some loot
I got hired Monday morning
Downsized that afternoon
Overcome with grief that evening
Now I’m crazy as a loon
So I’m up here in the north woods
Just staring at a lake
Wondering just exactly how much
They think a man can take
I eat fish to pass the time away
‘Neath this blue Canadian moon
This old world has made me crazy
Crazy as a loon
Lord, this world will make you crazy
Crazy as a loon
