    You and OPJ are closer to the action than I am, but I wonder about the wealthy areas being tossed to Hillary. It seems the Starbucks and Green crowd tend to go Obama, to me an odd inversion of the politics of the two. Since the blue collar has taken a reaming from Clinton day one it boggles.

    Chuck, I agree – and that’s what’s making it so hard to predict. Ohio has such a mish-mash. Or cross-section, depending on how you look at it.

    Who in their right mind would vote for Obama .Let’s First look at his name Barack Hussien obama I mean come on people .And let’s not forget his policy on iraq . In the fist debate he said he would just nuke them ! All he is running on is change . Change is what you get back at McDonalds , or Taco Bell . He has missed over 50 votes in congress what would happen if an average American worker would miss 50 days of work ? Let me tell you they wouldn’t have a job to go to , and the only reason he has got as far as he has is because of oprah winfreys blood money . Bill clinton has been accused of being a racist because he is supporting his wife , what about obama’s wife supporting him should we call her racist for supporting her husband .I feel it will be a sad day in America if obama gets the nomination ,but if he does get the democratic nomination we are going to have McCain in office for eight years because if Hillary does not get the nomination I’m voting republican this year as I urge other voters to do .

    Hmm – well – Greg, you make some points that others who support Hillary make as well, but I’d prefer you to write more about what you like about Hillary than what you don’t like about Obama – that’s just my preference, but thanks for commenting anyway.

    The only thing I will disagree with you on 100%, though I know there are others who feel like you, is the name thing. That’s just so over, as far as I’m concerned. He is not a Muslim and I do not consider the presence of his middle name to be something with we should take issue. This is the 21st century – we have to move forward.

    But I do understand – it really, really bothers a statistically significant number of people, from what I read. That’s very unfortunate.

    Thanks for reading and commenting and be sure to vote, and please, re-consider whether you’d vote for McCain over Barack. At least stay open minded should he get the nomination.

    First of all Greg, become educated before posting crap. If you are trying to pursued your audence with “name” rhetoric, you are just showing how argumentatively ingnorant you are. Nice ad hominem. Secondly, your entire argument is fallace. Bll Cliton was accused of being racist from comments he made (youtube it) not for supporting his wife. Also look up th average missed votes by Senators, you may find something implicit there too. He has also NEVER said he would nuke te all, that claim is both slanderus and unsupported. And if you want to know something interesting, Obama has quite a significant probability of beating McCain than Clinton. She is way to polarized ithin the public opinion. Your fial claim is such a slippery slope fallacy that I don’t even need to elaborate further. So, in short, go back to logic class, learn to sylogistically prsent a claim, VAILIDLY, and pick up a damn book to rid yourself of political ingnorance. If you ar wondering I hold a Ph.D in Political Science and Philosophy and I have a Doctorate in Jurisprudence. So if you retort to this, you had better ome correct.

    Obama has abdicated his responsibility as a congressional chairman for the subcommittee overseeing Afganistan for 13 months since he became chairman. 13 months of absentism from work! His response is that while he is looking for his new job, he forgot to serve his current job well. Oh! then as current employer, we need to fire him.

    If he is the democratic nominee, my vote will be for Senator McCain. This is my way of firing him.

    George – you took that from Hillary now, didn’t you!? Admit it – from the debate. I was there – I heard it too. :)

    Before you talk about firing Obama – did you hire him or are you outside Illinois?

    Derek – thanks for your comment. Did you hear about Karl Rove telling the GOP to cut it out re: the name stuff? Another good post on that topic is here.

    Thanks for reading and commenting.
