The Polls that have Obama sliding don't mean a Damn thing...
Until after the Debate on Wednesday. There will be context in large apportionments of all of the issues by Obama. That this side show of lies and spin are taking our attention away from real issues will not stop the true candidate from prevailing. The debate will give Obama another national stage where the media will not be able to slant the coverage "pro" Clinton and McCain. We see what the media is trying to do. They are trying to upend Obama's candidacy. It won't work this year.

2. The media whores are spinning as fast as they can tho'
Edited on Mon Apr-14-08 03:26 PM by 48percenter
saw another disgusting take on the polls reflecting the comments in the LA Times blog, what a couple of turds they are -- floaters. Candy Ass Crowley and Andrea Mitchell/Greenspan (:puke: how could she do that 82 year old geezer?!?) were pedalling FURIOUSLY this afternoon, I had to turn off the TV, they both made me sick.

6. They do matter... it's why the caucus happened in the first place...
people vote with what's available and if she coulnd't win those and she belittles them then what kind of president would she be to "ALL" of America?

5. Can't wait for the debate ... he did well at the forum last night
and will do the same on Thursday night. The mediawhores are only able to
turn this into anything as long as Obama isn't given the chance to expand
on his comments. Once people hear what he meant, this will actually HELP his
campaign -- he wasn't being elitist; he was being empathetic and expressing
the dissatisfaction that's out there (80% of the country think we're going
in the wrong direction). His comments at once show that he cares about
people and that, unlike Bomb Bomb McSame, he's fully aware of the problems
he'll be facing as president (not just glossing over domestic issues in
favor of waging war).

8. He did much better than she did. All of her answers seemed forced...insincere.

7. new polls out of NC and Oregon today look good for Obama
up by 20 in NC and 10 in Oregon. PA and to a lesser degree Indiana have always looked dicey for Obama, and he will do fine also in South Dakota and Montana.

10. Watching these cheap polls is a fool's errand
I know that Americans will keep doing it- just like they buy into all sorts of other ridiculous things.

Seems as though many, if not most enjoy being manipulated.

11. They've been used to the manipulation for the past 7 years... so wonder they
haven't gotten tired of it. Hillary is a broken record of Bush/Cheney.

12. The same is true for cheap polls that say what you want to hear about Obama
or are afraid to hear.

13. LOL I remember not too long ago the Obamatrons were all "that's it, no more debates!"
Seems he needs this one this week to (ahem) attend to circumstances -- even though, according to the Obamatronic community, everything Obama said in San Fransisco was just badly phrased/exactly what America needs to hear/something I agree with/something small town people agree with/"The Truth"/he's doing it on purpose/calling her Annie Oakley put this to bed.

OBAMA SCREWED UP. He committed an unforced error. He gaffed. He said the wrong thing at the wrong time in front of the wrong audience. He flubbed it. Over the past couple of days I have been truly amazed at how divorced from reality Obama's supporters have been over this issue.

Bittergate counts. Can Obama survive and go forward? Can we get this behind us? I hope so. The first step though, is ADMITTING YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!
