Obamunism
Where's the Koolaid? Looks like I better get ready for a gulp.

Short of a minor miracle, it looks like Obama is "the one"!

I always vote democrat. I live in a bastion of republicans, but even they are not mouthy this time around. They are bracing for the ass-whoopin they have coming!

Obama has gone from third choice to the only choice.

Do I get an oven mitt or sumpin?

1. Wasn't my choice either ......
but when Clinton started with the McCain is better than Obama ..... that sealed it for me. I never vote against my own interest.

9. He will win.
McSheep is a sacrifice. They know they are going down. As much as the Clinton people would like to be right, it isn't going to happen in the future either. Haven't they been more wrong than right so far?

5. No, the Bush administration being the most unpopular since Herbert Hoover...
the war in Iraq being widely unpopular, and McCain running on a platform of 'stay the course, my friends...more of the same is what I promise' is going to win the general election for Obama. If you think otherwise, you haven't really been paying attention to what's going on (not good for the GOP when even Rupert Murdoch says Obama will be the next president).

Your vote is quite welcome, however. :hi:

8. I've never had a problem with Obama.....
...I just think Clinton would actually get something done on healthcare. And. I don't buy into all this dynasty shit, either. She has shown all along she is an advocate for us.

Obama is a gamble for us all. We pretty much knew what Clinton was capable of, but I am hoping enough congress-critters jump on board and try to straighten this shit out. I wish we had some commitments from Obama to go after the frickin crooks who have robbed our country of it's treasures, but even he cannot do it alone. Unless we put some people with some spine in congress, we are going to see the same ole shit.

Here's hopin for a bright future!

Guulllpppp!

13. Short of a major catastrophe
a "minor miracle" would be insufficient.

We will have a candidate that understands that the country contains 50 states and that you need to run in ll of them to win.

We will soon have a candidate who was "against the war before he was against it.

The thumping of McSame commences.

14. All projected futures, aside--

the next 6 months will be a reality check in every way. Wish I had the certainty that seems to be so widespread.
