		<description>The polls show these numbers because not every American is a rock star groupie.  Many internet users are younger, liberal folks who of course like Obama.  Older Americans understand that we need someone in the White House who can actually get stuff done - get programs enacted.  Obama probably won&#039;t be able to do that.  Why?  He&#039;s the most liberal Senator right now (based on voting records since he started).  Republicans will not work with someone like Obama.  You may like his ideas, his looks and his speeches, but all that won&#039;t count for much next January.  Then he&#039;s actually got to work with both sides of the aisle to get work done.  McCain on the other hand may not have the snazziest ideas, is not the greatest orator and may in fact be an inferior candidate, but he&#039;s got at least one BIG advantage over Obama.  He&#039;s got friends on both sides of the aisle.  And he&#039;s been there 25 years.  He&#039;ll get stuff done because he knows how to, and he&#039;s got friends.  Obama&#039;s got none of this.  If you want to see things get done over the next 4 years - vote for McCain.  If you want a defacto lame-duck president who looks good, speaks well and has some snazzy ideas, vote for Obama.</description>

		<description>Write in Hillary.

She is no Bush (right winger)
And she is no Obama (left winger)

McCain, ONLY if HRC can not be written in.

Conscience over pressure.
Ethics over party loyalty
Truth over corruption
Liberty over dictatorship</description>

		<description>And, oh by the way, this 30 year democrat will not vote for Obama just because the DNC chose him over the voice of the people. i found him lacking and he remains lacking. He is still the same flawed, tainted figure he was prior to Tuesday.
NOBAMA!!</description>

		<description>After months of hating Hillary and blogging on their differences...

The new propaganda is that since they are so similar, HRC supporters MUST vote Obama.

Principles over Party.
Ethics over loyalty.
Fair and free elections over fixed primaries.

I did not vote for Bush either time... BUT I&#039;ll suffer the 3rd Bush over anointing a dictator.</description>

		<description>The Democrats have managed to shoot themselves in the foot one more time.  Of course Obama cannot win, do you really think women are going to lay down one more time for the DNC and their crap?  Most of us are headed over to join Johnmccain.com.  I bet he will be happy to have us along on his team.</description>

		<description>I have likewise been some what amazed by the close elections and close polls between the two partary platforms.  

I feel that Obama and Clinton shared a united win in that they really shared the same ideas all along,  with only minor differences.  

The main differences were in race and gender.  

But the differences between Obama and McCain are a lot more apparent when it comes to policy making,  although McCain is working hard to close that gap.   

No one I know was ever contacted by one of those poll takers nor have I been.   I wonder if they keep asking the same people who have signed up for that duty?    

I think the polls show that we have a equal gap between those who are well off economically or expect such,  and those who are poor or feel they might become that way due to current events.   One half wants to secure their economical status and the other half is hoping for a little help from Uncle Sam.   

Religion might be an aspect because it might be half the people feel their religious objectives are not being listened too and the other half does not wish to be controlled by religious objectives - mandatory morality standards or whatever.</description>

		<description>To all those who feel the need to take up this space with your racist comments I say to you--be thankful. 

It is because of our servicemen and women who are currently serving and veterans like myself that you have the right to post your ignorant comments.

It must really be bothering you to know that your buddy McCain doesn&#039;t stand a chance against Obama.  Start stock ing up on your kleenex.

		<description>As a LIFELONG Democrat, who has contributed nearly $1200 to Hillary Clinton&#039;s campaign, I just sent my first (of many to come) contributions to John McCain.  Does that tell you anything?  It SHOULD tell you that voters will now have to choose for real who is the best and most experienced person for the job of President of the United States.  I&#039;ll take a true American hero any day over an inexperienced &quot;green&quot; orator!</description>

		<description>The BO campaign and the DNC have yet to make the case as to why
the voters should choose BO and the Democtratic party for the White
House.

Their drum beats have all been about why voters should not choose
JM and the Republican party.  That is not going to be enough in
November.

In this primary, the DNC has demonstrated that it is unfit for the
White House, and BO has demonstrated that he is an empty suit
with a lot of baggages.

So again why should voters choose BO and the Democratic party?</description>

		<description>Obama is the DNC&#039;s puppet, they gave him the presumptive slot - he did not earn it - just talk to MI &amp; FL! The disenfranchisement of the democratic vote is their own undoing. Obama&#039;s folks can&#039;t understand why Hillary&#039;s folks still question him. Well he is questionable, muslim school, Trinity Church, Rev Wright, disrespecting the American Flag, and on and on the skeletons are rattling the closet. The real Democratic choice was railroaded with Tamany Hall tactics ad the true intent of Obama and his supporters are there to be read all over the blogs - they are mean, vile and hate filled. Mc Cain will win because the DNC has handed him the Presidency.</description>

Well he is questionable, muslim school, Trinity Church, Rev Wright, disrespecting the American Flag, and on and on the skeletons are rattling the closet. The real Democratic choice was railroaded with Tamany Hall tactics ad the true intent of Obama and his supporters are there to be read all over the blogs &#8211; they are mean, vile and hate filled. Mc Cain will win because the DNC has handed him the Presidency.</p>

		<description>Uh, actually, I suspect McCain will get a &quot;bump&quot; this week when all of us Hillary Dems switch our support to McCain.  Why are you all having such a hard time believing that we would rather support a qualified, experienced Republican over your empty coat candidate??? Trust me, you will lose in November! We will Remember!</description>

		<description>Carol, San Luis Obispo, CA:

We don&#039;t need a crystal ball to determine whether or not Obama can lead. We just have to look at his ridiculously thin record of leadership and public service. We can also look at the way he eliminated all the other Democratic candidates from the ballot when he ran for state Senator in IL in 1996, the way he joined a church to advance himself politically and the way he blew off that same church after 20 years of not paying attention to the minister for twenty years to advance himself politically, the way he bought a nice house and a bit of extra land in 2005 (within months of getting elected to the U. S. Senate) from Rezko, who yesterday became a convicted felon...

Obama&#039;s a lightweight opportunist. He&#039;s sleazy and shallow. He knows that he has a smaller chance of winning the general election than does Hillary Clinton, but he doesn&#039;t care about the party or the country.

Wake up.</description>

		<description>Wolf,

The Media has accomplished just what they set out to do, you just have to read many of the comments above. 

Many of these people do not realize that John McCain has been campaigning towards the General Election for months now, but thanks to Hillary, Barack has been campaigning against Both Hillary, and John McCain until Tuesday. 

Barack has been campaigning for a total of TWO DAYS against McCain, and even here he is still being dogged by Hillary!

Just wait and let us see what THE POLLS say after a few months.

This question about McCain&#039;s competitiveness is totally ridiculous, but I have to admit that you now have many people asking the same ridiculous question, so &quot;Mission Accomplished&quot; ( until these misinformed supporters wake up)</description>

		<description>Joann Taylor:

Unfortunately for Obama, I don&#039;t think Jack can stop being cranky and moronic. I don&#039;t have the slightest idea what he thinks he&#039;s doing. And Roland Martin is just an annoying spinner who will not change his mind even if every fact proved the opposite. He&#039;s just going to continue shooting his mouth off. As for Jamal Simmons, he seems like a nice guy who is trying to hard to say something intelligent. In fairness to him, he often does say some smart things, but wow does it seem like he&#039;s not ready for the big leagues.

The worst of all is Donna Brazile, the one who ran Gore&#039;s losing campaign against Bush. She seems to know she&#039;s wrong about supporting Obama, determined to endorse him anyway, and very angry with anyone and everyone who tries to make an argument as to why nominating such a weak candidate whose run on flowery rhetoric and empty slogans is a bad idea.

I too will vote for McCain because he is a moderate Republican who is known, experienced, and quailfied for the office.

		<description>Go McCain!  He&#039;s got my Democratic vote for November, no matter who he chooses for VP.  Lieberman would be a good choice.

Suggestions for Obama VP.....Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn, Father Pfleger, Rhashid Khalidi....or one of a number of others of the same ilk.

And Hillary SHOULD keep her campaign suspended rather than being a &quot;good little girl&quot; and bowing graciously to His Majesty Barack Obama.....which is what the radical Far Left DNC and their cronies have been trying to get her do for for several weeks now anyhow.  Well, they finally ended up handing Obama the nomination on a silver platter after the Florida/Michigan debacle a week ago followed by the superdelegates finally electing the Democratic nominee for us (whatever happened to the popular vote?)

I am done with them.  Human decency and fair play will always override so-called party loyalty.  I expect I&#039;ll be a registered Republican by November anyhow......and forever more.

		<description>As a conservative I want to say Thank you Hillary supporters.   Because of your hatred for Obama, we will get to pick 2 or 3 justices for the Supreme Court.  I am enjoying the infighting, the demanding he takes her as VP, the angry females, etc.  You will cause the most liberal/socialist leaning DEM nominee in history to fall flat on his face !  I am not a big McCain fan but, he wil be better than Obama.  Thanks again and I look forward to the landslide GOP victory in Noivember!  Welcome aboard angry Hillary supporters!  Just one more favor, I would appreciate a GOP majority in the Senate and the house, if you can!  Thanks much!</description>

People
Please, get a grip

It&#039;s only June 5, 2008.  We have a Democrat Party presumptive candidate and a Republican Party presumptive candidate.  No running mates have been selected.  No conventions have been held.

How can anyone definitively state that Obama can&#039;t lead this country?  Do you have a crystal ball?  Of course not.

How can you say that John McCain will lead us to 100 years of war in Iraq?  Oh, yea.... hee hee hee... that&#039;s what he told us he would do!</description>

4 years as Under-Secretary of the Navy
2 years as Governor of New York

Running against an entrenched Republican, worsening economy and with major international instability around the globe.

That man was Franklin Delano Roosevelt - by some people&#039;s estimate of experience, FDR was not qualified to be President, yet he turned out to be exactly the right man, at the right time, for the right job.

So everyone, stop, take a breath, and think before you act.</description>

		<description>Look, if GW was able to fool enough voters to get elected and then
re-elected, then I think BO could very well succeed doing the same.

The question is, would the voters be fooled once again, the third
time around?</description>

		<description>Correction Stacy Clarks,

Mccain will pull away in a few weeks since millions of Hillary votes will cross over to him.

Bye bye Obama....</description>

		<description>It&#039;s close because the Democrats have picked someone totally unqualified for the job.  And yes, Sinic Marsh, let&#039;s have Caroline as the VP candidate, because at least that way Obama can be more qualified than SOMEONE running.</description>

		<description>I was original voting for Edwards.  When he dropped out I had to choose any person.  After listening to both I choose Hillary Clinton and made the decision at that time I would not vote for Obama.  This decision was made before the information about Obama starting coming out.  It has nothing to do with the fact that he is half black and half white.   I have a niece and nephew that is half black  and half white.

Since I have voted in every presidential election, I will not skip this one. I will be voting for John McCain.</description>

		<description>Obama is resembling the dictators of the past more and more every day.

First no one dared to question him for fear of the racist label.

Now no one dares to be different from the flock.

I am no sheep.

Write in Hillary Clinton in NOV or give rise to an American dictatorship where all dissent is suppressed by the haters.</description>

		<description>Folks...

Worry now about the dictator-like appeal of Obama.

Logic and reason have disappeared.

This man has been described as all-powerful and having perfect judgement.

Oh Boy... worry now or suffer later as you pay the price of your liberty to the Marxist Obama.</description>
