Keep in mind that double the number of Americans have voted for Obama than McCain and that's just half of the Democratic Party.

America is sick to death of Republicans. They are even more fiscally irresponsible and dishonest than Democrats...which I thought couldn't be done.

Nothing the Democrats do will prevent them from winning, and nothing the Republicans do will prevent them from failing.

Not if everyone walks around saying the Dems will win no matter what.

We thought Clinton would screw up the economy. We were wrong.

Obama was just covering his ass, his target audience was quite obvious.

The speech was nice but I think it lacked major depth. He mentioned many times of the problems we have in our society but nothing of how to solve them or the sacrifices needed to solve them. Yes, a unified America is needed for change but the civil rights movement would never have happened if people weren't attacked by police dogs and soaked with fire hoses on a regular basis.

He said that a disparity exists between white and black schools, but the solution he even hinted at was that whites will start having to fund black schools, which I don't think will work.

Actually, ideas to do just that at the state level have been floated. There has been a lot of tinkering with property taxes for "clean and green" (PA's version) and property tax relief for farmers and retirees. This shifting burden pisses people off. I could see it sneaking through in the form of state taxes combined with property taxes so rich people can still get better schools and the poor get minimum funding. Of course this moves us further toward ending locally controlled school, but the Kennedite/Busherian ultra-nationalists already support that. (I'm having fun with words here but srysl that style funding is not out of the question.)

The Dems wouldn't lose if Obama was having a 3-way with both.

Wow. How will you ever handle the cognitive dissonance if it turns out you're wrong? As I recall, you were pretty damn sure there was no way Kerry could lose either.

He would have won if it weren't for Diebold. This time even they can't help the Republicans. There are just too many people. The voter turnout for Democrats is higher than it's been in 30 years.

dead girls never hurt Dems before

More Conspiracy BS without basis for fact.

As usual, you couldn't find your ass with both hands and a map.

You got it right in that it was a conspiracy, but you're wrong about the facts. You might want to watch the movie "Hacking Democracy" or visit Bev Harris's website http://www.blackboxvoting.org

More BS. A movie some Bush hater makes for some dumb ass with an agend does not make if fact no matter how hard you get when you read it.
