AMERICANS WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA.

[Tennessee Gal]

I have heard this from many, many people in the past few weeks.

[GarbagemanLB]

1. Funny, I've heard the same about Hillary.

No evidence, just take my word for it.

[Tennessee Gal]

9. I have heard just the opposite.

People in my home state much prefer Hillary. If it is Obama v. McCain, they will not vote.

Just telling you what I am hearing.

[Exilednight]

38. You must live in Utah, or someplace similar where they love repugs like Hill and McLame. n/t

[Tennessee Gal]

51. You must not be able to read.

My name is TENNESSEE GAL.

[Exilednight]

65. When't the last time TN voted for a Democrat?

Bill Clinton in '96 - does that sound about right?

[roguevalley]

168. you need to get out more. is it because she likes guns or because

she's so fleet of foot running under fire? Inquiring minds want to know.

[helderheid]

63. Utah doesn't like Hill. They LOVE OBAMA!! Dem Chair Holland, SLC Mayor Ralph Becker, and Salt Lake

County Mayor Peter Corroon ALL endorsed Obama!

:woohoo:

[stratomagi]

179. Utah went Obama btw.

[demwing]

182. I live in Utah, and all I hear about is Obama.

McSame pissed off some Mormons here, and when Romney left the race, Obama became the favorite second choice of many.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

So now the Hillary meme is you are unAmerican if you vote for Obama?

another insult sure to win her over even more new friends.

This is Hillaryious.

THe American Public has been burned so badly by those like Hillary that
they aren't going to settle for platitudes and patting on the head any more.

There's nothing more unAmerican than passing NAFTA, having an advisor and
a husband who are lobbying for the Columbian Free Trade agreement.

And you can' get much more out of touch then to have #109 million and then say
you haven't seen the bitterness anywhere.

Thats an insult to the many of us who are bitter over our governments betrayal of
us to their cronies, rich friends and special interests.

[Tennessee Gal]

57. This not about Hillary. Not surprised you would attempt to make it so.

[cali]

71. In my state primary, Obama walloped Clinton

by 20 points. I don't know one person who voted for her, but then we're not assholes like the people you consort with. We'll vote for her if,god forbid, she slimes her way to the nom.

[Rockholm]

151. She walloped him by 20 points in my state.

[DevonRex]

144. Uh, you live in TENNESSEE... Y'all just elected a complete

dumbass redneck to the senate instead of Harold Ford. Now, I personally can't stand the DLC but if my choice is a DLCer or some hick that just got gully-washed outta the holler up on yonder mountain, I'll take the smart DLCer.

And don't presume to tell us what "Americans" will or will not do because WE have just as much or more insight about that than you do.

[PaDem]

155. I'm hearing that your state is going red once again..........

no matter who the Democratic nominee is. Hillary is going to get between 47-49% of the general election vote if she is the nominee. Whether this will be enough to win is hard to say. Obama has a lower floor and a higher ceiling than Hillary. That is to say he could go below 47% or go above 49%. In my view he offers us our best chance because he offers us the clearest contrast in a campaign against McCain. Furthermore, while the word "change" has been effectively used by the Obama campaign and has become somewhat of a buzzword, after eight years of misery under Bush, most Americans are ready for something different, and only one candidate out of the three that remain offers that.

[stratomagi]

180. You live in Tennessee

Most people won't vote for either Hillary or Barack.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

170. a friend/Hill supporter told me her husband & 2 sons are voting for OBAMA

hahhahahahhahahaha

she is going to vote for Hillary, but 3 of her family members are voting for Barack!

hahahaha

IN NORTH CAROLINA


:rofl:

[Colobo]

2. Really? Why?

[Catherina]

3. You really need to get out more. Hillaryland is not representative of the real world n/t

[gateley]

Boy, you sure must know a LOT of people to be able to speak for all Americans. nt

[azmouse]

4. You got some links for that.....

Didn't think so. :eyes:

[Hepburn]

5. You need to find a different crowd to hang out with....

...like one that contains well-informed, intelligent people.

[Liberal Veteran]

6. South Americans, perhaps?

[EFerrari]

178. Obama is the preferred pick in SA and in Europe, too.

lol

[Nitrogenica]

7. Well ignore FOX news then, gal.

They're wrong, dead 100% wrong.

[NJSecularist]

8. In your own dream world, maybe. n/t

[Arkana]

10. Hmmm...if that's the case then why is he on his way to the nomination

and why is he currently leading McGramps in several head-to-head matchups?

[gateley]

11. Yeah, plenty of them have certainly been voting for him thus far. nt

[Liberal Veteran]

19. Who ya gonna believe, some anonymous poster on DU or those lying facts?

:rofl:

[Hippo_Tron]

95. LMAO McGramps is the best nickname for him I've heard thus far

I'm gonna start using it.

[FrenchieCat]

12. America will vote for Obama.......because Obama represents Americans.......

While Hillary only represents herself, and sometimes, McCain.

[Tennessee Gal]

13. Just telling you what I am hearing.

[Liberal Veteran]

22. Oh sweetie, the voices in your head can't vote anyway.

[Hepburn]

42. LMBO!

54. Did you read my name?

[cliffordu]

66. I lived in Tennessee for a while

It's a place where the "N" word is used in polite conversation every day.

[SOS]

82. McCain will win TN.

nt

[ourbluenation]

97. I see, so red state TN is America. Thx, got it.

[Mooney]

147. McCain will carry TN by about a trillion votes.

[Scurrilous]

14. You've convinced me.

:thumbsup:

[Tennessee Gal]

18. Not trying to convince anyone. Just telling you what I am hearing.

[scarletwoman]

20. Yes, because she typed it all in caps, you KNOW it must be true! (nt)

[Scurrilous]

133. I'm a sucker for all caps. n/t

[nolabels]

[blue sky at night]

16. I have said it before......

when I stop sobbing I will remove my Brain too. Seems to me a whole lot of Americans have already voted for him, but then again maybe you weren't paying attention.

[Duder]

Am I French?

I voted for Obama and will again. :P

[rhombus]

Is this a joke? Are the Scotts going to vote for Barack then?

Or the Irish or the Welsh or the Japanese or Kenyans?

Bwahwahahaha.:hi: :grouphug:

[Liberal Veteran]

30. No....only the Flemish.

[Duder]

44. Yes, the Scotts...

Rally backs Obama for White House

Scottish supporters of US presidential hopeful Barack Obama are staging a rally.

Members of the Scotland for Obama campaign are holding the event in Edinburgh to show their backing for the politician, who is fighting Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic nomination in the race for the White House.

John Loughton, the chair of the Scottish Youth Parliament who earlier this year won the reality television show Big Brother Celebrity Hijack, is supporting the Illinois Senator.

[RichardRay]

17. All of us?

Jeez, you mean, like zero? Or, that the people who do vote for him aren't Americans?

I like your post - it's easy to read - but I'm not quite certain what you're saying. Did you forget to finish typing before you hit Post?

[Tennessee Gal]

21. This is about the GE, not the primary.

[EFerrari]

172. But they will RUSH to vote for McSame?

You're delusional.

[cutlassmama]

23. They have already.

[Tennessee Gal]

31. The GE is what I am hearing about.

I have not heard a single person say they will vote for Obama.

[bevoette]

89. well, since we're talking scientific polling and all...(lol)...

every single person that *I* have talked to, MANY of which have never voted Dem in their life, including my social conservative mother and my 2-tour in Iraq BIL, have said they WILL vote for Obama...

all except my redneck daddy who sounds...just like the title of your thread, funny enough

hmmmm

[butterfly77]

24. WRONG...

[Cali_Democrat]

26. Of course you think Americans won't vote for him

Your sitting in your little echo chamber.

[AllentownJake]

27. Americans

You mean the American loving hard working Americans that the American Hillary is supporting because only her and American John McCain love America.

Those Americans?

Do you just watch her speeches mesmerized than repeat what the borg queen says?

[L0oniX]

28. Well of course repukes aren't going to vote for Obama ...geeze

Every democrat that I know says they are voting for Obama and even some repuke converts.

[TomClash]

29. Almost 14 million already have voted for him nt

[Tennessee Gal]

36. Yes, in the primary.

Not in the GE.

Many are saying they will not vote if it is Obama v. McCain.

Just sayin' what I am hearing.

[catcher]

50. tripe

I don't wanna hear Clinton is unelectable by Obama supporters and likewise I dont wanna hear Obama is unelectable by Clinton supporters. However I do know that if the nomination is stolen from under the voters feet the backlash will be enough to push old McSame right into the WH.

[patrice]

84. Absolutely. That IS what this is ALL about. The whole thing in a nutshell.

:hi: and Welcome!

How do you explain your sentiment when it so fully contradicts this?

[Saturday]

79. So Clinton is running against Obama in the GENERAL ELECTION? nt

[SoFlaJet]

35. So Tennessee gal

who will YOU vote for if Obama is the democratic nominee?

[Tennessee Gal]

45. I am a die hard Democrat.

This is the first time in my life that I am so disgruntled and confused.

That is the truth. Take it as you wish.

[Liberal Veteran]

53. Disgruntled and confused? Would that be synonymous with "bitter"?

:shrug:

[tnlefty]

153. It sounds like a throwing down of the gauntlet to me and it's

pissing me off. I donated to, worked for and voted for many dems who I didn't like based on positions, in other words, the damned DINOs who get selected from on high and then rammed down our throats.

I've voted for the ones in my district and donated money to others across this state just to try to turn things around in this state in small steps.

Wasn't it Bill Clinton who stated 'fall in love in the primary, then you fall in line for the general'? Well, I've done it more times than I care to remember, but you fall in line and vote for the eventual nominee. It may cause you to wake up in a cold sweat a few days prior to election day, it may give you nightmares, it may cause you to damned near vomit in the voting booth, but you do it. I couldn't stand Ford, Jr., but I attended events when he was here and worked my ass off trying to get him elected and there have been soooo many others.

If this means as Democrats in this state we are no longer expected to fall in line behind our eventual nominees, as you seem to be suggesting, could I please get a copy of the memo because I've been unhappy with many choices for many years and it might be a relief to know that I won't be expected to be supportive anymore.

[AspenRose]

126. (Notice we haven't heard an answer to that question yet.)

Don't worry ma'am, no one knows who you vote for in the privacy of the voting booth. You can lie about supporting the democratic nominee to your republican friends and family if you have to.

:sarcasm:

I will vote for the democratic nominee. Even if I have to take a clothespin to the booth.

[nichomachus]

37. So who are these people who are voting for him?

They're not Americans?

I think you need to get out more.

[AllentownJake]

39. You Mean Tennessee American's?

because out her in Colorado, Barack Obama has huge support.

[locker13]

40. i must not be american

[rasputin1952]

41. I think Americans will not vote for McCain...The citizens have

seen enough of the GOP to last generations. Americans are smarter than tossing more logs under the kettle they're in raise the temp higher. In all seriousness, I can't see McCain getting much more than 35-37% of the popular vote...and that's at this point...wait until he goes off on his tirades during the run up to the GE...he is nothing more than bush in and old man's body.

[TLM]

46. Many many people.... supporting Hillary/McCain. n/t

[Nedsdag]

47. Well, go vote for McCain.

Vote against your own interests, please!

[crankychatter]

48. nice caps... it makes your post much more credible and important

and completely compensates for it's direct contravention of reality, documented in ALL NATIONAL POLLS, and PRIMARY RESULTS THUS FAR.

So the "many many people" you've heard this from? Could I get a very specific conversation you've had with one or two of them?

You know... like Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon... you could tell me tales of the "Welfare Queen" and the great "Silent Majority."

Keep it folksy and earnest... I'll get some popcorn.

[TSGracchus]

52. Neither Obama nor Hillary...

...can beat McCain. Draft Jim Webb for President.

[rodeodance]

56. but.......

they will vote for this gal

81. You have no sources, just an opinion

If it were stated as such I wouldn't have a problem but just to say you've "heard it" from many, many people without any sort of facts? Yes, I have a problem with what you are trying to say here, it's a joke. There are plenty people here who support Hillary that actually have something to back up their claims. My statement about you being a joke is just as accurate as yours is.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

62. Some Americans will vote for neither Hillary nor Obama.

What we have to believe in is that more of them will not vote for McCain.

[patrice]

67. Could you describe these Americans for us a little, please?

What are their thoughts about Universal Single Payer Health Care?

What do they think about Green technologies compared to conventional fossil-fuel dependent technologies?

Do they think we did the right thing by invading Iraq? When should be leave and under what conditions?

What are their attitudes toward Prayer in Public Schools?

What do they think we should do about Roe v. Wade?

Are there any subsets of American citizens for whom Constitutionally protected Civil Rights are different?

I suppose I should stop there, don't want to be a burden, but I'd REALLY like to know if you don't mind.

Please and thank you.

:hi:

[Tennessee Gal]

72. They simply do not trust Obama to be our President.

It seems to be a deep sentiment.

[patrice]

110. I have deep sentiments too. For example, I'm actually an Edwards-ian Deanocrat.

My deep sentiment is that Edwards could win more easily than HC or BO. The situation is that, rationally, I must admit that my deep sentiment is ir-relevant. So I went through a few months of being 50:50 for both HC and BO and listened closely to both of them. I decided that both of them are a little tooooooo moderate for me. John Edwards is no radical, but he WAS going to bust up the MSM MONOPOLIES and that IS radical enough for me.

Anyhow, I listened to both of the carefully and came to the conclusion that whatever the "solutions" to the issues (that I listed in my previous post), whatever the solutions to the issues are, the People (as nearly ALL of the People as possible) MUST own those solutions by actively participating in the identification and implementation of those solutions. Whatever happens after the GE, it is atleast 50% about who we are and what we are doing and only 50% about the pResident.

From listening to the candidates, it seems pretty clear to me that Obama is working much more in that INCLUSIVE vein than HC is. For HC it's all about the past; it's all about the DLC and Bill and if you're not part of that or don't identify with them, then that's your problem. I've been very neutral about HC for quite a while, but her language, especially lately, demonstrates to me that she doesn't care if she hurts the Democratic Party or not, as long as she can damage Obama. Where I had been neutral about her in the recent past, I am now against her.

I like the fact that Obama is more open and is talking to us rather than at or about us. I like the fact that if Rev. Wright has a seat at the table, then so does his counterpart in the "White" culture. I like the fact that we are not going to pretend about who and what we are anymore and that if everyone can honestly be themselves and be civil with those with whom they differ (civil BECAUSE all of us ARE at the table), then we stand a better chance of identifying and implementing NEW solutions to old problems.

Solidarity, Tennessee Gal. :hi:

[bevoette]

68. i have heard it from many people as well. and yet...he's WINNING.

must be magic elves :P

[Tennessee Gal]

74. Could be.

I am just telling you that every single Democrat I have come in contact with here says they will not vote if it is Obama v. McCain.

[rasputin1952]

108. I'm in Nebraska, and a lot of the R's I speak to say they'll

sit this one out if McCain is their only choice. This may well be BS, but if NE doesn't like the guy, he's in serious trouble.

The main reason cited is that they figure McCain is little more than a an older bush, and even the GOP in NE has had enough. The second reason is no one has an idea of who the VP nominee would be, if it's Rice, forget it, but the GOP around here seems to think McCain would not survive 4 years, and the VP is very important in this one.

100. What I'm hearing

from family members who have never voted for a Dem in their life is that they will vote for Obama if he is the nominee. They have stated they will vote for McShame if Hillary is the nominee. I will vote the Dem ticket, will you?

[stray cat]

101. First I'm an elitist living in a 650 sq ft apartment and now I'm not an American

[nsd]

102. Wow! Your powerful use of CAPITAL LETTERS has convinced me. We're doomed!!!

[last_texas_dem]

104. So is it safe to assume that whatever city you come from in TN

is demographically a perfect representation of the U. S. as a whole and it is thus accurate for you to project how a nationwide election would go based on the sentiment where you live? If not, then your post is pretty meaningless.

However, if we're just throwing out anecdotes about where we live: I'll predict that my the county where I currently live will vote for McCain by a similar margin (about 60-percent) as the margin by which it went for Bush. However, just based on what I'm hearing, Obama is *much* more popular here than Clinton. When Clinton is brought up, I have heard responses that would not be proper to post on this message board. Yeah, so I guess based on where I live, McCain is going to win the national popular vote by around 60-percent, although Obama would do better against him than Clinton. See how goofy making assumptions about national elections based on your surroundings is?

[stillcool]

106. He's black...we know...

get out of the way!!!

[woolldog]

109. Nobobdy cares what people in TN think.

The state is red as a tomato and going to stay that way regardless.

[patrice]

113. I really do wish "we" wouldn't just throw folks away like that. nt

[woolldog]

128. I wish so too.

But the fact of the matter is that the OP is right, from her perspective. Most people in Tennessee simply are NOT going to vote for him, mostly because he's "different."

[tnlefty]

157. I really wish that someone cares at least a little something

about what I think. There are people here who are trying to make a difference, ya know, little blue dots that keep poking at the red tomato. :evilgrin: The day that we finally pop it and the seeds spill out we will get rid of the seeds and all will be better.

[sudopod]

166. You might be suprised.

The state trends bluer and bluer. We've also got a (D) governor.

[woolldog]

186. Yeah I was trying to be diplomatic.

Ok, I'll be a little more blunt. there are a lot of rednecks in TN who will never vote for a black man, especially one who might be a Muslim! for President. Enough of them that Obama will never carry that state, and never even get close to carrying that state. It's too bad, but that's the way it is.

Since Obama will be the nominee it'd be a waste of time and resources for his campaign to spend one second in that state.

[sudopod]

190. I've gotta respectfully disagree. ;) nt

[tnlefty]

111. May I ask which part of the state you're in?

Western, middle or east?

[AngryOldDem]

112. So you talked to EVERYONE in America?

I mean, everybody????

If so, then I must not have been at home when you stopped by to hear from me, because I most definitely will vote for Obama.

So, color me unimpressed with this sampling of public opinion.

[last_texas_dem]

121. No, it's just that where she lives in TN

represent a perfect cross-section of America, and there is thus no problem with her projecting national sentiment based on the city where she lives.

:sarcasm:

[KoKo]

114. My Evangelical Southern Nephew, disgusted with Bush came over to Kerry in '04

and he even represented his Pilot's Union because he decided he had to get "involved," with workers rights as he saw the Pilots getting screwed by the Corporate Management.

My nephew is one of those who believes the Bible is the true word of God...he never could stand Democrats...because of Guns and God but he is a "good soul" who cares about the "little guy, the common person" and he saw what Bush was doing even though he supported Iraq Invasion...he started to question. I managed to send him enough "progressive thoughts" to counter the RW e-mails his Dad and the rest of his Dad's family kept sending him (you all know those conservative screeds that the RW was doing) and I gave him the link to "Snopes" so he could check out the worst of them on his own. He gradually came around and even though he didn't care for John Kerry he voted for him...because he thought a change was what we needed.

My nephew can't stand the Clintons...he would never vote for Hillary...but he will not vote for Obama, either because to him Obama is the ultimate liberal that he has a problem with. He doesn't like that Obama got to go to Harvard and Columbia. He thinks it's "weird" that he was born in Hawaii and that his mother married "that guy from Kenya" and the "guy deserts her" and her son, and his mother is left without any money to live with her family and yet the father and the son both get to go to Harvard. My nephew growing up in poor rural GA can't imagine how Obama got all those "privileges," when he didn't see anyone getting the same thing in families where the Mother married young...mixed marriage where he grew up in Georgia. He doesn't think Obama understands what it's like to be an "average American" because he's Hawaiian and Kenyan. He thinks his whole background is strange and can't identify with him...so he's voting for McCain.

I'm posting this because there are many folks all over America who grew up in rural areas who really are Dems at heart...but we didn't give them a choice this time that they could vote for.

Just saying..

[mahina]

127. Such a shame we are divides by race and class like that. The disinformation campaign must not win!

Hawaii's 442nd was the most highly decorated in all of WWII. We are Americans too. Barack got those privileges because his mother believed in education, got him up before dawn to study, and he was and is brilliant.

I think that people who don't like Obama either are Republicans' 20% or don't know him. A lot of effort and money has been spent giving people false 'information' with the intended result just the one you describe.

It's up to us to learn how to talk to the other side and help them see that we have more in common than we think. Aloha.

[woolldog]

188. Frankly,

"I'm posting this because there are many folks all over America who grew up in rural areas who really are Dems at heart...but we didn't give them a choice this time that they could vote for."

Frankly, I don't want people like that in the democratic party. It goes completely against the principles of the democratic party to pander to bigots (i.e., "giving them a choice that they could vote for.")

They can go the way of the Dixiecrat.

115. In other news today: Sky up, water wet.

[PseudoIntellect]

117. In other news: Hillary losing.

[book_worm]

116. whose been voting for him then? the French?

[my3boyz]

118. Yeah..I'm sure from the racist people in TN (most likely EASTERN TN). nt

[tnlefty]

152. It's not ALL of us and some of us are trying REALLY hard to change

things - Ouch. I'm in SE TN so please keep in mind that it isn't all of us. Damn, I should've typed this in all caps. :hi:

[intaglio]

119. Which Americans are those?

White Americans? Black Americans? Spanish Americans? Native Americans? Jewish Americans? Indian Americans? Young Americans? Old Americans? Hawaiian Americans? Irish Americans? Polish Americans? Mexican Americans? Poor Americans? Middle class Americans? Wealthy Americans? Educated Americans? Stupid Americans? Kind Americans? Hateful Americans?

Or are they just Americans who like to wear white?

[Justitia]

120. Yeah, he's ahead in all these primaries because MARTIANS are voting for him.

You people are hysterical. :silly:

[progressive_realist]

122. Not very many from your state, that is true.

I expect Obama will get some of his worst numbers in TN, KY, WV, and AR. He more than makes up for it in other states, though.

[BlooInBloo]

123. This American will.

[TheWraith]

124. Those people clearly don't know what the hell they're talking about.

Tens of millions of Americans have already voted for Obama, and tens of millions more are going to. Not even Clinton and McCain teaming up can stop him.

[NoGOPZone]

129. Of course they will

The question is whether the machines will COUNT their votes.

[crispini]

130. Yes we will! nt

[wisteria]

131. I have heard about Democrats as well as Independants- including women who will not vote for Clinton.

Older people, younger people and now a lot of pissed off people will not vote for Clinton.

[Warren DeMontague]

132. Thank you for your concern.

Your concern has been noted.

[undeterred]

134. load of steaming crap

[Left coast liberal]

135. Wrong! They will and are! Just cuz they say it don't make it true.

[AZBlue]

136. Got anything at all to back that up?

[JVS]

137. Oh is it getting to be time for you to do THAT kind of thread?

:popcorn:

[democracy1st]

138. Ahh hell u live in Tennessee

Rightwing country

[akbacchus_BC]

139. Lots of Canadians will vote for Obama, wish we could vote in your

elections this time around!

[GoesTo11]

140. You are a genius

Excellent argument. Strong evidence to back it up. Perhaps you can help HRC prepare for the next debate.

[Rose Siding]

141. Hee hee - And here I was just gonna say "Will too!"

And who knew that the majority of Democrats given the opportunity to vote for him so far aren't Americans?

[Butch350]

142. Many, Many People..

Well, Obama supporters I guess it's time to pack it in - this person has talked to
everybody who gonna vote in the primary. I guess it's all over now.

[democracy1st]

143. LOL

:toast: good one

[Mooney]

145. I've been hearing the same about Hillary for the past year.

Besides, isn't this just your way of saying "He can't win Bill, he can't win"?

[matcom]

146. YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCK!

THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW!!!!111111

[iamthebandfanman]

148. i heard hillary eats babies

whats ur point?

honestly, i could say the same thing about clinton that ur saying about obama.

hope thats not an indicator of how people are gonna go in the general.

i hafta say tho, republicans are least likely to vote for her than they are him... but i dare say they will ALL vote mccain no matter what.

[stevenleser]

149. *plonk*

[Condem]

154. What's the bigger POS state?

Tennessee or Oklahoma?

[quakerboy]

156. Funny

I hear that about Hillary, and about McCain. I guess we just won't have a president this time around, eh?


A record number of Americans have come out in the primarys for Obama. But Americans won't vote for him. Interesting dichotomy.

[Doctor_J]

158. I'm an American. I will

:shrug:

[Bigleaf]

159. Ah, you mean the 20 fucking people in Tenessee you spoke with won't vote for him.

Talk about a fucking leap!

[jbm]

160. you are 100% correct..

but unfortunately we are in the midst of one of those periods of mass hysteria when reality no longer matters. Work hard for a Democratic senate and congress, and hope that the conservatives are correct about McCain and that he really does have some liberal leanings. I wish I could view this as an experience that will at least make the Democrats wiser in the future, but I've lived long enough to realize that we really don't learn much of anything from our mistakes.

On our local campaigns, we've already begun exploring strategies to seperate our candidates from the top of the ticket. Find a candidate you believe in, work for that person, and don't let this Obama mess poison you against the rest of the work that can still be achieved.

[HopeforChange]

162. What planet do you live on?

Didn't McCain just say he would Bomb Iran and have a hundred year war? Is that what people will vote for?

[jbm]

165. people will vote for the person they trust..

Obama seems 'foreign' to them, but they feel comfortable with McCain. I'm sure it's a different world depending on your location, but he has no strong support here. I'm sure I could find some Obama voters in my area, but this is the first year I've ever seen a time when county central committees aren't behind the likely Democratic presidential candidate. The primary is not the general election. Obama will not win the general election.

[EFerrari]

175. Oh, yes he will. Democratic registrations are exploding all over

the country.

Obama may not win St. Joseph, but he will sweep in the GE.

[Kber]

161. Shoot - I'd better check my passport

Here I was thinking I was an American and all.

Guess I'm wrong.

[catgirl]

163. Republicans?

[SunsetDreams]

164. How many have you interviewed?

3, 5, 10, 20? 50? 100?

The people that I know Dem. and Rep, have mostly went for Barack and will vote for him.

I will admit a few who will go for Hillary.


I'll admit I have yet to go out on the street and interview though.

[lib2DaBone]

167. Neither Hillary nor Obama

Neither will save us from what is happening.. we are totally screwed....

[Oldenuff]

169. I guess we are going to find out if that is true,

come Nov.

[EFerrari]

171. Except for all those Amercans that have voted for him over Hillary.

:rofl:

[last_texas_dem]

173. 12 recs for *this*? Give me a freakin' break...

[EFerrari]

177. These posts generally get 11-12 votes.

Not to worry.

[Umbram]

174. Tennessee Gal's voices are talking to her again. I've heard this from many, many people... (nt)

[Raine]

176. WHY?

What reason do these people give, if they won't vote for a black do you think they will vote for a woman? Cause Iwould bet anyone with those prejudices will vote for MacCain, I have no doubt about it.

[knixphan]

181. REAL DEMOCRATS WILL VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT

It's simple really.

[Thepricebreaker]

183. I am a democrat and I will NEVER vote or Hillary - I will leave it blank...

[demwing]

184. If many unnamed people say so, it must be true ;)

At least, thats what I've heard from many, many people in the past few weeks.

[TheDonkey]

185. OMFG SERIOUSLY! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE NOW! ALERT! PANIC!

:sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm:

[goodgd_yall]

187. Which Americans might that be?

:think:

[donheld]

189. Are these the ones you spend your entire life telling

the horrors of Obama? Bet you use right wing crap to do it.
