STOP with the poll results!
These polls were taken March 14-18, during the heart of the Wright inspired witch hunt. Of course Obama is down in them. They are not reflective of today's hearts and minds of the people.

I'm so pissed at the MSM for pushing these poll results. It seems to me they are uncomfortable with what Obama said and they're afraid they might actually have to address it.

If you're as angry as me, please write to your local or any national media outlet and let them know this! Kick please if you agree.

Thanks!

2. I have no problem with people posting them
But it is ridiculous to hold them up as "evidence" that Obama is unelectable. I am sure that Clinton's numbers in the middle of the Gennifer Flowers scandal did not look that good.

I like your terminology - "Wright inspired witch hunt."

3. No kidding
I'm outta here for a few weeks. I can read the damn polls myself. I don't need all this "doom and gloom" about how Obama couldn't win at the Special Olympics.

4. Fingers in your ears and blinders on your eyes might have the desired effect.
Or you can whistle past the graveyard, if you like. :)

5. I guess it depends on what the numbers are at any given time.
When Obama is up, you guys don't seem to mind 5,000 posts telling everyone at DU OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again that Obama is up, donations are up, blah blah blah.

So when Obama's down, you shouldn't really mind 5,000 posts telling everyone he's down, right? :eyes:

And no, I'm not a Hillary supporter.

17. Unlike you, I'm not filled with hate and fear.
So I would post the same if the situations were reversed and it was Clinton that had given a speech that's changed the shape of the primaries after the polls were taken.

12. Duh. No polls = no proof that white folks will run from the angry black candidate...
Edited on Thu Mar-20-08 02:46 PM by BlooInBloo
... which is the last piece of cover white folks need.

EDIT: It started with a poll injunction for 1 week, and it goes from there.

22. Obama led National Polls - Some by Double Digits
but not a word in the mainstream media

now that they've begun the corporate swift boating and it's working...

they're so proud of themselves, they can't help boasting
