Obama's Strong Position in the Race Ahead
Nationally, Obama is running stronger among Independent voters than any winning Presidential candidate since 1988 and is significantly outperforming Sen. Clinton among these voters as well in general election polling.
To understand a potential general election match-up between Obama and McCain, the only analysis and data that should be considered valid are the current head-to-head National polls rather than extrapolating irrelevant assumptions from exit poll data in Democratic primaries.
And, on the issue of Democratic unity in the Fall, analysts need only consider that in April of 1992, on a night when Bill Clinton won four primaries and was the presumptive nominee, 6 in 10 Democratic primary voters said they wanted another candidate in the race. Despite this, five months later, Democratic voters were unified behind Clinton and he won his first of two terms in office.
Debunking Five Myths About Obama's Support
MYTH 1: The Primary has left Democrats divided.
FACT: Democrats are united behind Barack Obama, even more so than Republicans are united behind McCain
- May 12 Washington Post poll shows that Obama wins 81% of Democrats in a matchup against John McCain.
- Indeed, more Republicans crossover to vote for Obama (15%) than do Democrats for McCain (13%).
- NOTE: In 1996, Bill Clinton won 84% of Democrats.
MYTH 2: The Primary campaign has hurt Obama with swing voters and Republicans:
FACT: Obama is winning the swing voters against McCain by a wide margin.
- Obama holds a 51-42 lead among Independents in the Washington Post poll.
- NOTE: Clinton loses 46-49 to McCain among Independents.
- Not since 1988, when George Bush beat Michael Dukakis 57-43 among Independents, has a candidate won such a large margin among swing voters.
- In his two victories, Clinton only managed a 6-point margin over the Republican among independents in 1992 and an 8-point margin in 1996.
- Indeed, no Democrat has won a majority of Independent voters since exit polls were first conducted in 1976.
MYTH 3: Obama cannot perform strongly enough among white voters:

[Stuipd Citizens]

FACT: Obama's is running as well or better than past Democratic Candidates among white voters.
- LA Times (May 8) Obama 41 - McCain 45
- Wash Post (May 13): Obama 42 - McCain 51
- 2004 Exit polls: Kerry 41 - Bush 58
- 2000 Exit Polls: Gore 43 - Bush 54
- 1996 Exit polls: Clinton 43 - Dole 46
- 1992 Exit polls: Clinton 39 - Bush 41 - Perot 20
MYTH 4: The race against Clinton has compromised Obama's position among women:
FACT: Obama has begun attracting the support of a broad coalition of women and is poised to win historic margins.
- Wash Post (May 13): Obama 54 - McCain 40
- New York Times (May 3) Obama 47 - McCain 39
- NOTE: No Democratic candidate has won women by so large a margin since exit polling was first conducted in 1976. The closest any candidate has come was in 2000, when Al Gore won women 54-43 over George Bush
MYTH 5: Obama cannot win working class voters:
FACT: Obama is already winning working class voters
- In the recent LA Times poll, Obama wins every income group under $100,000.
- <$40K: Obama 43 McCain 35
-$40K-$59K Obama 43 McCain 40
-$60K-$100K Obama 51 McCain42
-$101K+ Obama 46 McCain 47
- According to the Washington Post/ABC poll released today, despite Sen. Clinton's insistence that she is stronger among white, working-class voters the data shows that Sen. Obama performs nearly as well as she does in the general election. Among white, non-college voters in this poll:
This is about pocketbook issues.
when folks hear mccain say " No to unviseral healthcare, No to bringin the troops home, No to economic policies that make sense, No to the Bush tax Plan, No to how to solve the gas crisis. those folks will vote for Obama.
Its issues, not Hillary, she is her own worst enemy
In the grand scheme of thing this does not matter b/c over 70% of this country is white and yet Barack is winning. So the whole racist thing, whether black or white, can be laid to rest. I don't even worry about it.

In Darkest Pennsylvania [Pat Buchanan]
PJB: Right From The Beginning ^| April 15, 2008 | Patrick J. Buchanan
Posted on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 12:45:33 AM by 2ndDivisionVet
It was said behind closed doors to the chablis-and-brie set of San Francisco, in response to a question as to why he was not doing better in that benighted and barbarous land they call Pennsylvania.
Like Dr. Schweitzer, home from Africa to address the Royal Society on the customs of the upper Zambezi, Barack described Pennsylvanians in their native habitats of Atloona, Alquippa, Johnstown and McKeesport.
“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and … the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them.
“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
This is the pitch-perfect Hollywood-Harvard stereotype of the white working class, the caricature of the urban ethnic — as seen from the San Francisco point of view.
As Linus clung to his security blanket, Barack is saying, out-state Pennsylvanians, bitter at the world that has passed them by, cling to their Bibles and guns and naturally revert to ancestral bigotries against “people who aren’t like them”— blacks, gays and immigrants.
Though he sees himself as a progressive who has risen above prejudice, Barack was reflecting and pandering to the prejudice of the class to which he himself belongs, and which he was then addressing.
A few months back, Michelle Obama revealed her mindset about America with the remark that,“for the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.” Barack has now revealed how he, too, sees the country. The Great Unifier divides the nation into us and them.
The “us” are the privileged cosmopolitan elite of San Francisco and his Ivy League upbringing. The “them” are the folks in the small towns and rural areas of that other America. Toward these folks, Obama’s attitude is not one of hostility, but of paternalism. Because time has passed them by, Barack believes, they cannot, in their frustration and bitterness, be held fully accountable for their atavistic beliefs and behavior.
Though neither mocking nor malicious, Barack’s remarks are, nonetheless, steeped in condescension. Inherent in his words is that these folks in Middle Pennsylvania are in need of empathy, education, assistance and perhaps therapy.
His remarks are of a piece with his address on civil rights that liberals have compared favorably to Lincoln’s Second Inaugural.
Note, from that Philadelphia address, the highlighted words.
“Most working- and middle-class white Americans don’t feel that they have been particularly privileged by their race … as far as they’re concerned, no one’s handed them anything.… They … feel their dreams slipping away … opportunity comes to be seen as a zero sum game, in which your dreams come at my expense.

Obama will be the Democratic nominee, definitely!

Military losses, 1980 through 2006
(ttp://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/nat sec/RL32492.pdf)
As tragic as the loss of any member of the US Armed Forces is, consider
the following statistics:
The annual fatalities of military members while actively serving in the
armed forces from 1980 through 2006:
1980 .......... 2,392 (Carter Year)
1981 .......... 2,380 (Reagan Year)
1984 .......... 1,999 (Reagan Year)
1988 .......... 1,819 (Reagan Year)
1989 .......... 1,636 (George H W Year)
1990 .......... 1,508 (George H W Year)
1991 ........ 1,787 (George H W Year)
1992 ........ 1,293 (George H W Year)
1993 ........ 1,213 ( Clinton Year)
1994 ........ 1,075 ( Clinton Year)
1995 ........ 2,465 ( Clinton Year)
1996 ........ 2,318 ( Clinton Year)
1997 ..........817 ( Clinton Year)
1998 .........2,252 ( Clinton Year)
1999 ........ 1,984 ( Clinton Year)
2000 .........1,983 ( Clinton Year)
2001 .......... 890 (George W Year)
2002 .........1,007 (George W Yea r)
2003 ........ 1,410 (George W Year)
2004 .........1,887 (George W Year)
2005 ..........919 (George W Year)
2006..........920 (George W Year)
2007..........899 (George W Year)
Clinton years (1993-2000): 14,107 deaths
George W years (2001-2006): 7,932 deaths
If you are surprised when you look at these figures, so was I. These
figures mean that the loss from the two latest conflicts in the Middle
East are LESS than the loss of military personnel during Bill Clinton's
presidency; when America wasn't even involved in a war!
It surprised me too, so I went on line to find out what military actions
we were in during Clinton 's presidency. Here is a web site I found
that lists out those conflicts.(not war)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military...
nited_States#1991-1999
And, I was even more shocked when I read that in 1980, during the reign
of President (Nobel Peace Prize winner) Jimmy Carter, there were 2,392
US military fatalities! I think that these figures indicate that many
members of our Media and our Politicians will pick and choose the
information on which they report. Of course we all know that they
present only those 'facts' which support their agenda-driven reporting.
But why do so many of them march in lock-step to
twist the truth? Where do so many of them get their marching-orders for
their agenda? Obviously there is one shared agenda, and I believe it is
clear it comes from the most powerful Democratic family of the decade.
Do you want further proof? Consider the latest census, of Americans. It
shows the following FACTS about the distribution of American citizens,
by Race:
European descent (white).........69.12%
Hispanic .......... 12.5%
Black ..........12.3%
Asian .......... 3.7%
Native American .......... 1.0%
Other .......... 2.6%
Now... here are the fatalities by Race; over the past three years in
Iraqi Freedom:
European descent (white).........74.31%
Hispanic .......... 10.74%
Black .......... 9.67%
Asian .......... 1.81%
Native American .......... 1.09%
Other .......... 0.33%
I was surprised again..until it became clear to me that the point here
is that our mainstream media continues to spin these figures (for
political gain). Nothing more.

Vote Obama!

It will be proved that Obama is not what he seems. He thinks there are 57 states in the Union. He knew there were the 57 states of Islim. There are going to be some shocking and revealing disclosures coming out soon. There is a conspiracy in which he is involved to completely change our way of life and it has been in the works for a long time. The Muslims are getting ready to do what the Soviet Union planned to do, and if a lot of people do not come to their senses, it will happen without a shot being fired. You heard it here first, Wake up!! There is much more involved than race, gender, or right or left.
