Unfortunately, 3 of the 4 Dems I spoke with yesterday WILL NOT vote for Obama,

[Bobbieo]

Hope this is not a national trend!!!!

[Franks Wild Years]

1. They're not Democrats.

It's really that simple.

[Left Is Write]

3. Agreed.

No real Democrat wants to risk this election going to McCain.

[im1013]

5. Dem wannabe's

:kick::kick:

[JoFerret]

88. True, but

we need those kind of votes to win.

[democrattotheend]

2. Why not?

Are these people you know or did you go out canvassing? Were they Hillary people in the primaries? Are you sure they are really Democrats?

[book_worm]

4. thanks for the good news.

sarcasm.

Most Dems I speak with and indies do support Obama.

[Veruca Salt]

31. Same here

I even know a few 'repubs for Obama'... granted these are pubs from MA and ME and are socially liberal.

[ericgtr]

6. No less than 5 minutes ago I talked with 3 people at work who ARE voting for Barack

Hope this IS a national trend. :)

[Liberal Veteran]

7. Were you at a klan rally or something?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. One out of one democrats you talked to yesterday are voting Obama.

The other three people were liars and/or fools.

[Bobbieo]

22. No I was at a graocery store in Yuma, AZ where most Dems are very conservative.

I'm facing reality!!!I have been a liberal Democrat all of my life - and I see trouble here.

To answer why they won't vote for Obama - "I just don't like him" came from 2 0f the 3." Now what does that tell you?

[blondeatlast]

24. So McSame is likable to them? Your "Dem friends" scare me. nt

[Bobbieo]

43. Not hald as much as they scare Me!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

25. Like I said.

Liars and/or fools.

[greguganus]

29. Most dems are conservative in grocery stores? Going for the bargain foods, eh? n/t

[cali]

35. look, you can't stand Obama. You never could. You're just trying to trash

Obama.

[Bobbieo]

45. Cali - How the hell do you know what I stand for - ????

I resent that!!!

[cali]

50. gee, I read your posts. duh. that's how I know.

[Bobbieo]

58. Cali - How many post have you read about my fights for Native Americans

because I am one of them. Funny, I have never seen a reply from you when I write about the Navajos and their fight for proper health care as a result of their working in the uranium mines!!!

I had one one last night about the Navajo and the radioactive waste they live in and I did not see a post from you.

[cali]

59. I'm sorry, that has zip to do with what I wrote.

classic trashy strawman. And what makes YOU think you're so all important that everyone should comment in a thread of yours? And I have commented in threads you've started about poverty.

I hate dishonesty.

[Bobbieo]

65. I find it amusing how honest you are about yourself in your profile.

Anonomity personified!!

[cali]

74. red herring. And what would you like to know?

Do ask. And duh, genius, there's nothing dishonest about my DU profile. Grab a clue. And stop evading. YOU trashed Obama. You've never gotten over your candidate's deserved loss and crash, and you're just trying to shit stir. Just about everyone on this thread has your number.

[AZBlue]

38. Oooh, Yuma is a tough town for Dems.

Still, being from Arizona they should really know better - we certainly know what a louse McCain is!

[1corona4u]

41. Tells me they're really ....red.

You're in a Red state, and McAss state as well.

[Kahuna]

48. Ari-fuckin'-zona!!! Who cares?

:eyes:

[blondeatlast]

63. Let's not go there; I'm an Arizonan. nt

[Kahuna]

73. Don't be dense. You know what I mean. But if I have to spell it out..

I doubt that Obama is going to waste any time campaigning there.

[blondeatlast]

81. OK. I''m not normally so sensitive; but nuance sometimes fails on the nets. Good point;

I've said the very same to those who think Obama can win here. I want him to use his precious resoources where he can pick up EVs.

OTOH; I wish he'd just come for the "in your face" of it.

[Kahuna]

87. I meant no harm.

:pals:

[blondeatlast]

97. No worries! It's the price of living in a red state!

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

53. It tells me...

that they are not Democrats.

Again, this is a critical election for Democrats. No true Democrat wants to risk it.

[EstimatedProphet]

75. Yuma AZ - Wikipedia

Yuma is a city in and the county seat<2> of Yuma County, Arizona, United States. The population of the city was 77,515 at the 2000 census, with a 2006 Census Bureau estimated population of 87,423.<3>

I doubt they're representative of a national trend.

[dionysus]

79. hmmmm

your friends are racist fucktards...

OR

you're making shit up...

[SidneyCarton]

89. Yuma is at the end of the Frakking earth.

If the Mexicans invaded and occupied it, no one would know about it for a week, and then most of us would say "big frakking deal." Even most Arizonans don't give a crap about Yuma.

[lojasmo]

90. Yuma sucks hairy balls.

If I ever am in Yuma again It'll be ninety on the freeway between Tucson and San Diego.

Anecdotal evidence sucks too, BTW. Also, concern trolling.

[regnaD kciN]

91. So, you're saying McCain has a good chance to win his home state...?

Imagine that! :wow:

[peace13]

9. Were you at John's Country Club by chance? n/t

[Barack_America]

10. Then they're neither Democrats nor patriots.

And, frankly, not worth your time.

[Matariki]

11. You need new friends.

All the democrats and independents and even most republicans I know are excited about voting for Obama.

[AtomicKitten]

12. Thanks for sharing your happy news.

:banghead:

[cali]

13. how can anyone possibly think that just because they know

3 dems who won't vote for the dem nominee, one can extrapolate anything from such pathetic anecdotal "evidence"? Pathetic handwringing from an Edwards supporter with an agenda.

[Bobbieo]

33. Who is Edwards????

[MrCoffee]

40. Huh? Is this GD:Punk'd?

[BeyondGeography]

14. Hit-and-run artist

:thumbsdown:

[WinkyDink]

15. Bwahahaha! Because all of a sudden they want a MORON and her WAR-MONGER?!

[Bobbieo]

47. I'm afraid that is what we are gong to end up with. If we don;t change our tactics!!!

[redqueen]

61. What tactics are those?

[Danger Mouse]

16. 3 out of the 3 of the Republicans you spoke with yesterday will not vote for Obama.

I edited your post for you.

[Meshuga]

17. Can you give more details?

I'm sure that's the trend. Haven't you seen the polls showing 75% of democrats voting for McCain? :sarcasm:

[ClarkUSA]

18. Remember, folks: the McCain campaign is offering prizes for trolling Dem forums....

Thanks for the OP's concern, though. :eyes:

[City of Mills]

19. I guess it's over.

*sigh*

[blondeatlast]

20. You need new friends and the Democrats don't need yours. Tell 'em

blondeatlast says to take a hike.

[dennis4868]

21. If Obama only...

has 1 out of 4 dems vote he is in big trouble....the polls are not showing that at all.

[EmilyAnne]

23. Hanging out with felons?

[blondeatlast]

28. I'm not laughing, really I'm not...

Okay, I 'fess up. I am laughing!

:thumbsup:

[Whisp]

26. o bullshit.

[madaboutharry]

27. It's o.k.

I personally know 4 republicans who are voting for Obama.

I know 2 other republicans who are staying home.

It will all shake out.

[mitchum]

30. odd, 4 of the 4 acquaintances I spoke with yesterday said that you're a fucking liar

Sadly, it's already a trend!!!!

[Bobbieo]

51. Got your attention didn't I. We cannot keep saying because the polls have Obana ahead

that we are going to win. I honestly hope we do but we cannot be so GD cmplacent about it.

[Neecy]

32. so who are they voting for?

[Bobbieo]

60. Most of them won't vote!!!

[Dr Fate]

34. Stop confusing conservative swing voters with "DEMS" n/t

n/t

[phleshdef]

36. According to your profile, you live in Arizona, how many times did ya'll put McCain back in the Sen.

So that doesn't really matter.

[Fox Mulder]

Three out of four of those people are not Democrats.

FYI.

[RagAss]

37. Did they take their hoods off to answer?????

[beac]

39. Please encourage them to investigate the awesome candidacy of Bob Barr.

He's nice and LILY WHITE-- they should LOVE him. :)

Seriously, the more vote Barr gets, the better.

[KathieG]

57. lol...funny you say that, I live in a heavily republican area and when

I hear people talk about how they don't like McCain but will NEVER vote for Obama, I always recommend they check out Bob Barr...so far so good, sometimes you have to take a different approach. :rofl:

[beac]

66. Well done and keep up the good work!

Maybe you could ask the Barr folks for some literature to pass out. :)

[AspenRose]

42. THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!

!

[Shine]

44. 3 out of 4 Repugs are idiots.

they're obviously Repugs.

[charlie and algernon]

46. well fortunately 100% of my coworkers are voting for obama

So i think my 14 Obama votes outnumber your 3 McCain votes.

[seabeyond]

49. about five of a handful of boys friends parents are going to vote obama and they are ALL repugs.....

i think i will let it just shake out

[Marsala]

52. People in McCain's home state like him?!

We're doomed! DOOMED!

[Ichingcarpenter]

54. I bet they were black and had vaginas too.

What a bunch of crap.

[burythehatchet]

55. I'm sorry everyone, I accidently dropped a dookie in the punchbowl.

[DevonRex]

76. You dropped a doobie in the punchbowl?? Quick! Fish it out!!!! :)

[berni_mccoy]

56. Unfortunately, 1 out of 1000 DUers posts crap like this.

[dems_rightnow]

62. I'm not gonna call you a liar

I'll only say that your particularly small sample isn't representative.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

64. No they are not Democrats or they would be voting Democrat!

[Bluenorthwest]

67. Then calling them Democrats is like calling cats dogs.

Arizona. Gee. Home of McCain. Every one I know is voting for Obama, I have people calling me from other countries asking me what I did that day to elect Obama. I know Republicans, Greens and Independents voting for Obama, and it goes without saying that all of the Demcorats will be voting for Obama.

[nini]

68. Well,that explains why the polls show McCain up 75 to 25

:eyes:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

69. Only in Fantasyland.

[bigwillq]

70. Did they say why?

:shrug:

[qwlauren35]

71. It's Okay. We were NOT going to win Arizona!

But if you're not well invested there, you can think about moving!

;-)

[dionysus]

72. *cough* bullsht *cough* troll *cough*

:eyes:

[Top Cat]

77. They are not true dems...

[DevonRex]

78. I call absolute BULLSHIT. Go away. nt

[BlooInBloo]

98. +1

[RollWithIt]

80. I've had several people who I KNOW are Republicans tell me they're voting McCain.......

It's like reverse psychology with a LOT of Republicans these days. They never admit to being what they are.

[renie408]

86. Hey, I've had several people that I KNOW are Republicans tell me they are voting Obama. n/t

[Orangepeel]

82. Fortunately, Obama's not counting on Arizona.

He's probably going to lose Alaska, too.

[Errrica]

84. OH NOES!!!!11!!!!!!!!1111!!!

NOT ALASKA! We've got too much at stake if we don't win Alaska... Please, tell me there's SOMETHING we can do to win this crucial battleground state! :scared:

[Orangepeel]

96. I just hope to god we don't lose Utah. THEN we're screwn.

[donco6]

83. It's obviously not.

Even the most slanted polls are 50/50.

[renie408]

85. OH SHIT!! And Arizona is such a SWING STATE!! Ummm...Dude...

no SHIT the people of Arizona are voting for their own guy.

Jeez....

[ChiciB1]

92. I'm Just Checking Out Threads... Don't Post Much Anymore... But I DO Have

to chime in with a bit of good news for Obama. I live in one of the BIG RED Counties in Florida... you know the one that lost all those votes in 2006? Driving around town I have seen quite a few Obama bumper stickers which really has surprised me. There's a place called Casey Key very very close to me, this place is BIG MONEY and has the Gulf on one side and the Intra-Coastal Waterway on the other! I've been working at the home of a rather famous person who lives on the key and I always check out cars and yard signs on the way there. I've seen more than I ever expected. Don't know what it actually means or how it plays out, but I will only say that even Joe Biden came here yesterday and spoke. Unfortunately I didn't know about it because Dems NEVER come here. Not even Bill Clinton and he actually won this county his 2nd term! That's saying a LOT!

If I ever want to see any candidates I have to go to Tampa at least, we rarely get to see the national candidates up close and personal here, it's THAT RED! Think Katherine "Cruella" Harris... she was the Representative here for two terms... so perhaps it's not so bleak!

I'm only going by what I see on the road, but this county almost NEVER elects ANY Democrat. I've lived here 26 years or so and I can't remember one... but there might have been one or two, just not sure.

Just thought I would make the comment.

[stillcool]

93. Concerned?

4 of 4 People I've spoken to are voting for Obama. Don't know their party affiliation. Is this a trend?

[stillcool]

94. Concerned?

4 of 4 People I've spoken to are voting for Obama. Don't know their party affiliation. Is this a trend?

[Stump]

95. DINO's n/t

[TheKentuckian]

100. George W. McCain

can loose Arizona. His lead was pretty small the last I look.

We could possibly move it.

[L. Coyote]

99. Today, 3 of 4 Republicans I know will vote Obama/Biden

They understand the corruption!

[Onlooker]

101. Please stop posting in this miserable thread

I think it must be trolls who are keeping it alive. I tried ignoring it but it keeps popping back up. Please don't post in it.

[tilsammans]

102. Unfortunately, I know several . . .

. . . who voted for Hillary in the primaries and are so pissed that she's not the Dem nominee that they plan to abstain from voting.

:banghead:
