The concept is simple "birds of a feather flock together".

The issue is that by his supporters brazenly having Che Guevara flags for all to see, they're displaying a far-left socialist bent that is out of touch with most of the American population.

Now you get real.. if there was a Nazi flag in Huckabee's campaign office, you dont think it would/should raise eyebrows?
Dan is NEVER contrary.. how dare you suggest such a thing!!!!!

There is also a chance that when adult voters start really thinking about a guy with just two years experience in the Senate and just state legislator experience before that heading up America in these difficult times they may prefer McCain.

I agree Obama has great momemtum but remember all of this adoration is from base Democrats who are very left wing anyway.
I have got to get out of this thread!!!

An example of this is the effect the midget Perot had on the 1992 election when he split the vote and insured Bill Clinton won even though Clinton had less than 40% of the popular vote.
I agree that we should perform our civic duty.

But, in 2008, there are forces at work that will not be denied.

There is a massive shift coming to our world within the next few years. It will impact our nation, the church and our immediate families.

Yes, we all know that.
But when the socialists love Obama, then it raises the question: "why"?

And the obvious answer seems to be, that perhaps they think he is one of them, at least that his views are close to theirs on many key issues.

Keep in mind that one of the reasons Howard Dean fell out of favor, and John Kerry rose to replace him as the democratic frontrunner. was that Dean was seen by many as being unelectable for being too far left, and his support by groups like MoveOn.org hurt him.

It appears that as a nation, we might have moved past that bigotry which is a good thing.

But as it relates to this election cycle, we have never elected a president from the same party as a sitting president with an approval rating below 45%.

It simply is an insurmountable hill to climb.

It appears thatObama is about to be handed 4 years to do his deal. Lets just pray the dammage isnt too great.
I agree with you Ferd! Good post, so true! Well, if it happens my only consolation is that we wont' have a Clinton in the White House.

On another note, my husband's family are largely Democrats and they are saying that if Obama is the front runner they are voting for McCain. Hmmmm.

There is a lot of dirt in his closet.

But it won't matter.

He will be the next President.

Those that have been on the far left have been voting Democrats for years ... Clinton, Carter, etc ....

as there are fascists voting for the conservative Republicans too ...

Let's stop the hysterics ....

I think I'm overtired, I'm in this strangely giddy mood... that's why a political thread isn't the place for me.
