Peasants At The Gates

[mikekohr]

Eight contests since Super Tuesday. Eight big wins for Senator Obama. The Senator gave an inspiring acceptance speech last night in Madison, Wisconsin, before an overflow crowd of 18,000, showing the nation what we in Illinois have known for some time now: this is a once in a generation leader.

Obama has now won 22 contests to Clinton's 10. He leads in the popular vote. He leads in pledged delegates. He leads in the overall delegate count. And he leads Senator McCain in national head to head polls by 7% points.

The gates have not given way yet. But they are on fire.

1. Oh, please..Obama is a total "media creation"... beginning to look cartoonish..

and material for Comedy Central! He sure as Hell isn't Presidential Material.

2. Media creations often win elections!

Americans prefer to vote for cartoons than for serious people. Republicans in particular like to vote for cartoons. That is why Obama will win this, and win it big.

3. But, he got the Dem for a day votes. The same voters who will vote McCain come November.

4. Starbucks at the Gate you mean.

The peasants, actually, are voting for Hillary

Obama is drawing the latte' crowd and African Americans.

So, Obama is leading the rich, eliste, liberals that so many on this board seem to loathe.

Hillary is getting the Walmart shopper.

How about "Starbucks" at the gate?

6. It just goes to show you how disfunctional the American mentality

has become from the Bush drubbing over the last 7.5 years..

HOPE what and how? CHANGE what and how?

The Obama, "I'm Gonna" Campaign!

Turns my stomach!

12. Message from the rabble

In the "Potomac" primaries Obama carried "working class," people such as myself. His economic address yesterday in Janesville, WI, adds substance to his outreach to the traditional Democratic base of working people. The more people see and hear of Senator Obama, the more they like him and his message.

5. Nominated.

I'm hoping that Senator Clinton is giving serious thought to doing the right thing. Our party needs to unite and begin to prepare for the fall election.

[Tellurian]

7. BULLSHIT...Get Over it! I am not uniting with REPUBLICANS..

and if that is what YOU want; then you are a FOOL!

[goldcanyonaz]

8. We gonna hold hands with the Repugs and sing Kumbaya. You don't want to?

[Tellurian]

9. You bet your sweet petuty, I'm not! I want to bury the bastards 4 eva!..

[goldcanyonaz]

10. Me too. They need to be smacked down and hard. Unity ain't something I'm into.

[Tellurian]

11. Republicans are the scourge of the Earth in every way imaginable..

They promote polluting the Earth, they win the majority for Child porn and molestations arrests.., their GREED has no limits for all possible perversions of humans and all life on the planet!

And Obama wants UNITY with these Killers?.. F..him and the donkey he rode in on!
