Jesse Jackson

Tawana Brawley-i didn't forget about her

Lewis Farrakan

The Lady who falsely accused the Duke lacrosse team of raping her. Her and Tawana would get along great, they are both trash and liars.

The moron in Houston Quasan X.

I think im going to vote, any guess at who I am going to vote for?

Oh Good Lord.

Do you know that John McCain was endorsed by
John Hagee? He stood on stage with him. Right next
to him. He makes Lewis Farrakan look like Peter Pan.

And now finally McCain backs off. Can you tell me how
in God's name McCain's competent staff let him within
100 miles of John Hagee?

Time for your list of white trash.

What is amazing to me is that the latest poll showed Obama with a 2% lead over McCain. In this economy and the war in IRAQ, it is hard to believe the Dems are not crushing the Repubs.

swings in voter opinion are somewhat predictable.

obama will be crushing mccain in 4 weeks.

the question is whether mccain can close the gap by november.

the economy will probably look far different in october/november in which case he has a chance. if there's still bad news though, you can write the republican's off.

dems are going to pick up house and senate seats regardless.

just saw a story on pbs newshour about the "purple" commonwealth of virginia.

Was very interesting seeing Obama "kick off" his campaign in southwest VA the other day. He got some attention with his health care reform (don't see that program working, but I can't claim much knowledge regarding that area) and more clean coal energy (really hit a homerun there) but his single biggest obstacle in winning over the VA vote, especially in the rural areas, is gun control. That will be his biggest downfall as far as losing voters in VA...IMO

That hits a homerun for me...it's good for business. My employer has been involved in SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) construction at several coal burning power plants in the SE over the last decade.

Let's do some more. A little job security never hurts.

kev:

he'll get crushed in rural virginia outside of the black vote. the black vote is about 20% of the state btw.

but there's a huge population in nova that now votes democratic.

he'll carry nova and the coastal southern counties along the n carolina border which have huge black majorities.

it's a question of turnout and margin's in those area's vs. mccains ability to motivate his voter's through the middle of the state.

i doubt many on mccain's staff are looking the state, rolling their eyes, and saying "puhleez!"
