Grandosity. If I lived in one of those "red states", I would be insulted. You can expect to be patrionized, pandered to, have your values challenged and expect to be bought. DUMP OBAMA

Plouffe is trying to sell nonsense to the delusional.

Comments from the Republicans and the PUMAs (or are they the same thing?) notwithstanding, Obama's positioning and the running of his campaign are the most intelligent that I've seen in years.

And if he runs his administration as well as he has run his campaign, we will all be on our way to some badly-needed healing and recovery once January 20 rolls around. Even those who do not support him today.

Interesting insights here. I'm sure it would contrast strongly with a similarly oriented McCain campaign meeting. In a McCain campaign strategy meeting, all you'd probably hear is "okay....we don't want to take a stand on anything ourselves, so we'll just spend all our time and money attacking Obama's good ideas to try to make people think that they're actually bad."

Certainly seems to have been the Republican campaign strategy so far. Unless you count the moronic "gas tax holiday" plan, or their extensive ideas about how to deal with Czechoslovakia.

dave in Illinois........your talking points seem like Mc CAin did not just make the Anbar province/ surge lie yesterday......you may wanna keep your candidates foot out of his mouth .....we will worry about our guy.....lastly if you are scared go to church because the politics of fear is so over

Still have those PUMA's out there living in Griff's world of Disney. PUMA people... get it through your heads... Hillary is not going to be nominated at the convention. She is not going to be running independent. The biggest argument against her is that she has always been about herself and not about the party or the party's goals. If she runs against Obama as an independent.. she will completely lose ALL credibility... and as far as the democratic ticket.. Obama has the nomination... like it or not.

So get out of fantasyland.. you people are starting to sound as annoying and desperate as McCain. I wonder if McCain is a PUMA member?

Lenny: When Obama said 57 states he was including the territories.. Count them. If you can. You know Guam..............etc.

...more on the NBC poll .....Obama up 6...poll taken July 18-21 so very early in Obama's trip

NoObama!!

I support Obama and am naturally pretty happy that he appears very likely to win. I don't fool myself, though. This couldn't have happened at this time if the Republican Party hadn't completely broken down. It still has some good men and women in office, but they are never going to be nominated because they aren't far enough to the right to please the wingnut fringe that has taken over the Republican leadership. Anyone who IS far enough to the right to get nominated, or who moves there from closer to the center, is completely out of step with the rest of America. Anyone who simultaneously pleases James Dobson, Grover Norquist, and Bill Kristol is de facto unelectable.

I can't pretend I don't enjoy watching the Republican meltdown, but I do wish they hadn't left such an ugly mess for the adults to clean up.

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The picture of Hussein at the Wall in Jerusalem was nice. Just like the big cuckhold Clinton making a cross of stones at Normandy. Corn ball libs. Who in their right mind would believe a dorky photo op like those.
Oh yes, Hussein is so deep and spiritual. Under the direction of Rev. Wright and Mohammed he's nearly reached nirvana. Vote for him and make over him he'll always be a low brow Chicago politician. Nothing more.

With crabby McCain't throwing a hissy fit over media coverage, it should be just matter of time before he talks himself right over a cliff with all the bungling and cheap mugging he's done in the last week. Let's get the momentum of this 50 state strategy revved and ready to go! The O-train is leaving the station!

Obama wants to give health insurance to over 20 million illegal immigrants. The taxpayers are suppose to foot this bill. If Obama is elected we, the taxpayers, will be footing the bill for this along with all the other free stuff he wants to give out. Can our Country afford him?

All we really need is a couple more posters named Griff
The name posts for everyone and everything.
Now he's in.....now he's out now he's in the middle neather in nor out. Better get a stand or position or better yet go after the ones that use your name on these blogs or we just see you as stupid

cnn you need to do your polling right

Ohhhhh...some people are soooo upset. Too little too late Reps.
(Had those hemmorhoids checked lately?)

Barack Obama, the next President of United states!

The five million email addresses include mine. I got several email messages every dat from all different Democrats including Obama. Often I was annoyed by all these spams. I am a truely independent and I do not like to receive all those spams every day. I sent a few email messages back to tell them not to send email to me again. They ignored my messages.

Obama is up 6 points in the new NBC poll!!!

Literacy may be declining across the board, but you can't help noticing on these posts that the anti-Obama crowd has frighteningly poor spelling and grammar. Just like their hero, W, they can't read, write, or speak correctly, and are proud of it. Unfortunately, their "thinking" is faulty as well. Very sad.

Maybe they should use push polling like George W. Bush and Karl Rove did in 2000?

Not so nate, especially in Indiana. We are ready for a change, don't count us out. Even with out hillary voters , Obama will take Indiana.

This isn't news. How hard is it for Obama to get to 270?

1.) The media loves him
2.) Foreign leaders love him (what's their motive?)
3.) 90% of African Americans vote for him
4.) He's moved toward the "McCain middle" in his policies

If he loses in November... it will be the biggest blunder in US political history.

In fact, if he doesn't win the election by 8pm on Election Night it will be a HUGE surprise.

I've had to vote for the lesser of two evils before, but this is ridiculous! Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right.

"to smart"

Really, Nate? Really?

Obama 08'

united we stand with obama.divided we fall with mcsame.

Their wasting their money. People in those states are to smart to vote for an arrogent egomaniac like Obama.

It's good to see that someone desires a strategy to build a coalition that goes beyond the Rove mindset of Blue State vs. Red State. Maybe we will actually end up with a president that is concerned with ALL of this country's citizens, not just a narrow coalition that will keep his/her henchmen/henchwomen in power to raid the U. S. Treasury.

we are a band of brothers and sisters who cannot be stoopped,now.

Obama is going grey-headed with trhe stress of running for the presidency. Should be snowwhite by november, don't you think?

Have a good laugh about this one, McCain! He ribbed you so much about your age that the good Lord has seen fit to teach him one.

He'll fix it, alright. All 57 states

Good News to hear! We need chage in this country, the kind of change we never experienced before. The kind of change we can believe in, not the attacking machines of McBush, old politics been taking place for decades in Washington. Bring it on Mr. Plouffe! Again, good job!

Obama 57%, McCain 41%, Nader, 2%, FINAL SCORE.

....BARACKTOBER FEST........ coming to a town near you in October..!!

We not only need a Democratic President – we need an overwhelming Democratic majority in both houses of Congress to try to undo the evil of the last 8 years .

Lest than 100 days left for Bush to leave, move on.

No more Repubs this year.

Obama 08 & 12.

You've got to be joking. Obama can't win in fact he may not even be nominated. He is unqualified to be president. Once Senator Clinton's name is put into nomination she will win. I am sure the super delegates are looking at this circus and Obama's flip flops and they will decide that we truly do need to have the strongest candidate running and that is Senator Clinton. Her numbers are still better against McCain so your empty suit, lying hypocrite of a candidate will be back to playing dirty politics in Chicago.

Puma Power

Wow, a Power Point presentation and the strategy is to con the Democrat voters of Hillary into voting for Obama. Priceless.

Griff...two words for you: SPELL CHECK.

Who are all these fools? Yes sir, Obama, sir, here we are ready to do your bidding oh savior of America. Why are we kidding ourselves? Barack Obama can't keep a coherent stance on an issue let alone run a country.

Mr Cinderfella? Remember the movie... Jerrie Lewis???
Obama's Ugly Sister's... Just wait till Midnight in November...
Who/What will be pulling Obama's Slurge... Not Surge? he don't ???? in those...

As it stands, if you look at the electoral mao with no toss-ups on "Real Clear Politics", Obama rolls over McCain 322 – 216, and that is with Florida, which Obama has caught up in and where he holds the momentum, going to MacCain.

Visionaries have helped this country tremendously in its great accomplishments.

McCain is not a visionary...

Become History – or Be History

Dems Unite!

Do his plans include future mistakes similar to claiming membership on a Senate committee he doesn't hold or promising an "undivided" Jerusalem, and then having to explain why that’s not really what he meant. He continues to sound like the typical politician who claims credit for everything good, promises everybody what they want and then spins his statements after the fact to clarify what he said that he didn’t really mean.

Obama's campaign strategy: say anything to get elected, sacrifice anybody to get elected, and smile while your doing it.

cnn your just so mess up

The United States of America, today turned into the Super Pumkin of the World.
Under the Leadership of the new ???. Mr Borack Obama.. Live with it... I chuckle everhy day... Walter Disney is Dead.... America.

270...it really is that simple. Public opinion means nothing. 270. Some states tend to be more progressive in their thinking...they will automatically be a part of this 270. Unfortunately, not all states fall into this category. Some states, still exist in the 18th century mentality. We, the progressive states, tend to overlook their flaws and take care of them anyway because they are our neighbors.

Wait and see.. Obama will win by a landslide!

Now is our chance to fix the country Bush broke.
