I hear stuff like Obama will lose Fl. or Hillary will lose the black vote when Nov. rolls around.

This is pure unadulterated BS.

Once the nominee is chosen and the battlelines between Mcain and our nominee become clear these polls will shift remarkably.

Will democratic Hillary voters chose Mcain when he is juxtaposed against Obama? Not bloody likely.

Will Blacks chose Mcain when Hillary is their democratic option? Again, no way.

The primary season has made us all a little bit crazy but in the end the choice will be between 4 more years of Bush and a Democrat.

All these current polls mean diddly/squat.

2. Those polls will be watched by the SDs and the party.
Then our nominee will be selected by them. So they are pretty important.

I believe that either candidate can win in the GE.

I also believe that the choice has been out of our hands for weeks.

The rules are broken and will be bent even more.

The SDs and party will make our choice. One way or another.
