If the McCain Campaign plays this issue correctly, it has legs.

Obama and Ludacris are very good buddies.

Obama loves Ludacris’ music.

Obama Is Here.
"Hillary hated on you, so that bitch is irrelevant."
"McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed.
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped."
"The first black president is destined and it's meant to be," go the lyrics, calling on voters to "paint the White House black”.

That this isn't getting more coverage on the MSM - It really is just another example of how they favor Obama so much. If a white guy singer had said something like this in support of the McCain camp, you guys would be in an uproar throwing accusations of racism and bigotry like baseballs on a sunny afternoon! But since Ludacris is black its OK because black people can call Hillary a bitch and wish McCain into paralysis without consequence. And the Obama "denouncement" of the song - what an absolute empty crock of shit - you know this song is #1 on Obamas Ipod playlist. Its such bullshit... I hope every white undecided voter knows that people like Ludacris is who Obama represents - And I hope they realize that they (as white undecideds) are at the bottom of the Obama totem pole of importance! Its OK for blacks to be racists but not whites, right guys? Such Bullshit...

Yeah I am sure this will work, keep it up.  In fact, I suggest trying to tie Ludacris to every Dem Senator who is up for re-election you need the help there.

There is a group of people more hated by Joe SixPack than blacks right now, and ,Ken, it's Oil Men.  The kind of people who are robbing Joe blind and McCain wants to give them even more of his money. 

That's right, Ken, your ilk have replaced the scary, rapin' (and/or rappin') negro at the top of common American's hate list.  Until the Repubs understand that they can't win.

Look what we had to work with in 2004. Nothing. And yet, over time, John Kerry was completely dismantled by the attack machine.

It takes time, but it works. It's like one fighter wearing down another fighter in the boxing ring.

Nothing? (none / 0)
in 2004 you were up against a boring, horsefaced actual Democrat elitist that produced no reason to vote for him and refused to answer attacks aimed at him.  We were at war (which still had a > 50% approval rating) and your candidate was the incumbant, which almost always gets the win all by itself. 

All that and Bush still just BARELY pulled it out.  This time you have none of it, unless they are willing to run on McCain = Bush and get that incumbant at war bonus.

I hope they do.

you're welcome ken, you're so great at wacking it.

Maybe if we tie the ball to the bat you'll make contact? Let me assist. Obama is not the most unqualified candidate ever.

Abraham Lincoln was. Here's what wikipedia says about his resume prior to election:

Before his election as President, Lincoln was a lawyer, a member of the United States House of Representatives, and an unsuccessful candidate for election to the Senate.

Got that? And as to your last point, you're starting to sound desperate. When making these points there has to be a grain of truth for it to (at leas?) be funny. Must I quote Dan Quayle for you? There is no Dan Quayle in the "Demuhkret" party, comrade happy. We operate by meritocracy. Only republicans are capable of serving up a rich kid/empty suit like that.

Is Obama a good politician? Most definitely yes.  He seems shrewd enough to me.

Is Obama an exciting candidate? Of coooouuurssse! The first brown person to get this close to office--I'm all for it even if I am a whitey. 

Is the Obama campaign better run than the McCain campaign?  Fuck yeah!  No argument.

Then why is Obama leading in the polls? For all of the above reasons!

Because this nerdy half black Kenyan-Kansan-Hawaiian is going to win!

 

Portland Oregon loves Obama

Conservative French love Obama

Obama loves America and is a citizen of the world (go ahead and make fun, but it is an advantage) 

An uncontroversially historic moment in Berlin, whether you are a supporter or not.  Beat that with a stick McCain!  With your weenie town hall meetings.  Shit, I could hold town hall meetings better than McCain.  But Ken knows how stupid Americans can be.

Tim's most accurate post ever. (none / 0)
"The polls are wrong and the pundits want to keep the nonsense story that the race is close because they want to have something to talk about for the next three months."

You are 100% correct.

I have absolutely no idea where the polls will stand 90 days from now, but if the race looks this close, McCain will win. Democrats cannot overcome three inherent disadvantages: 1. Bradley Effect 2. Unreliable young voters 3. Electoral College Disadvantage

If Obama captures 50% of the nationwide popular vote, while winning 70% of the popular vote in CA, NY, IL, then you guys are S-C-R-E-W-E-D, electorally speaking. It means you blew your wad in three big states, and you will lose close contests in the battleground states. Remember what happened in 2000 and 2004?

What Tim is trying to say is that the election must be a blowout in order for Obama to win. He can't win a 50/50 election because of the electoral college.
obama is slipping!!!!!

For Bobo's edification, I repeat yet again: Utah and a state to be named later.

It is, of course, quite possible I'll be wrong.

My Take On The Shit Up Above (none / 0)
I see fear. Lots of it.  I see a struggle with deep dark denial.  bobo and kentex are sucking wind.  They are pulling everything their little minds can come up with to convince themselves we will not have a negro president.  It scares the hell out of them that a black man can upstage an ancient white relic and charm the world when McCain couldn't charm a snake with a swami and a flute.  Hell boys, its only an election.  Calm the fuck down.  You will do just fine after Obama takes office even if you are a multimillionaire.  Face the fear guys. Be a man. You will survive. The way I see it, if the rethugs steal another election and elect McCain, I'll be fine.  After all, I have survived nearly eight years of the most corrupt regime in American history, & witnessed near demise of a once perfectly good democracy.  Whomever wins I'll just say fuck it and move on.

If the GOP loses in 2008, we immediately go to work on a rebound in 2010. And there will be a massive rebound of biblical proportions. That's how we roll. 

If Democrats lose in 2008 (and it could happen), then what? You guys tell me. How will the Democrat Party deal with a loss? That's the fear I'm talking about.

At this point, anything could happen. How would you personally seal with defeat? As for myself, I'll be fine.

A few observations on the polls (none / 0)

1) Notice McCain is still staying in his 40-44% zone he has been in the whole time.   What is changing is Obama is hitting the low end of his 44-49% zone.  Guess that is what happens when the campaign becomes all about attack ads on the frontrunner.  It will be interesting to see if McCain can break his ceiling of 44% or push Obama through his 44% floor.

2) Whatever is causing this does not appear to be the drilling issue.  Yesterday Gallup put out a poll asking who Americans trust more to deal with the energy crisis.  50-39 Obama.  Suggests maybe the DRILL!!!! strategy is a bit overblown.  Maybe not but the poll covered the period immediately after McCain made it his only issue.

3) I am wondering if McCain isn't squandering his greatest asset to close the gap in August, which seems kind of stupid.  McCain is unique among Republicans because he has his own brand, seperate from the party.  The party's brand is now complete shit, but McCain has been able to avoid that particular Hindenberg.  

Lately the media seems to be calling him to account for lying about Obama and using Bush's sleazy campaign staff.  If he loses his honesty tag and if Obama can paint his campaign as 2004 redux, doesn't he risk falling off his perch and becoming just another Republican?  

There is an old theory about negative ads: They work! for a little while.  There is some chance that McCain is spending his best (and only) political asset, his credibility, to stay in the race a month before the convention.  There is also some chance McCain is going to get rope-a-doped here (accidentally, of course, the Dems really couldn't figure out to do that shit on purpose).

Fear (none / 0)
No Kentex. You are too invested in the debate. The fear is not that something bad will happen to the country.  Your fear is that if Obama is elected he will do well and heal the country from the ravages of the past eight years.  You fear your opinion and ideology will be proven wrong.  There is a "distorted thinking style" in the cognitive theory that research has labeled "being right".  The pitfall of this distortion is that the individual engaging in it is not interested in the truth or the facts, only in defending their perspective.  This leads to frustration, unhappiness and anger that is sometimes turned inward.  People lash out at others and can not maintain healthy relationships with those around them.  I hope you will be fine with defeat if your preference loses.  Remember "People are not disturbed by things or events but by the views of which they take of them" Epititus 1 a.d.

Look here, even his own wife compares McCain to Jagger. (About 3/4 of the way down) McCain must be a black revolutionary.

Palin in 2012? Bitch, please! No, really, please run in 2012, bitch. ;)

KKKenTX don't you have sheets to bleach!?!? (none / 0)
Hmm, it is a good start, but clearly Ludacris is going to have to put more thought into this plan. The Kennedys turned it into the Green House (they actually put a slight green tint into the paint to make it glow in the dark) but I'm sure the GOA will have to look into oil based vs acrylic and decide on mat black, flat black, shiny black.

Obviously the flags striped will be black and red. Personally I'm in favor of replacing Lincoln's Memorial with a statue of the Jackal headed Egyptian God Anubis. But I'm really excited about replacing Washington's Memorial with an African obelisk.

whiter than white (none / 0)
Since you're my friend, I'll let you in on a little housekeeping secret. If you throw a new pair of blue jeans in when you wash the "whites", they come out with a slight bluish tint. After the next wash, the "garments" appear super white.

Bush already painted it "Red"... (none / 0)

 ( Prepost Rant : Ah wedge politics! Keep it up Republicans! Your strategy is clear, (other than being racist, homophobes, thieves and liars) it is to fuck up the country so bad no one would want to be President. In Rethugnican speak they already have...the only ones running are one crazy old man and a black dude...mission accomplished! Got to love it! Poor poor Ken, the uppity Negro is gonna take his tax cut. Whaaaaaaaaaa. Since this is meaningless in the big picture back to the subject at hand ...)

Bush already painted it "Red"...and McLame wants to follow in is footsteps..

9 + Trillion (none / 0)
Fred, I think the surplus was somewhere around 5 Trillion. That would make it somewhere around 14.5 Trillion already pissed away and counting.
