    Romeo - that would be a fact if Obama wasn't getting more votes than anyone else.

    Try again mate :-)

    sake2/3:

    If the voters knew then what they know now about barack, he would have been Vince Fostered in Iowa. The democratic poobahs and the barack lapdog media dog did not do their jobs in properly vetting the empty suit at the beginning of the campaign.

    barack can't lock up key states and can only secure wins in Red states. Plus he's now alienated white rural, blue-collar (the God and gun hugging lobby) democratic voters: voters he needed to win the general election. Only the non-voting America Obsessed from socialist Third World nations still think barack has a chance to be U.S. President. Those of us with the power to decide know better.

    ramen,

    "Only the non-voting America Obsessed from socialist Third World nations still think barack has a chance to be U.S. President"

    The only trouble bud is that these "people" and "places" only exist in your very over-exuberent, young imagination.

    Heh.

    Admit.

    You're panicking about the election.

    "You're panicking about the election."

    We all are.

    Me, I'm especially worried about the 2 Dem frontrunners blowing all their money in the primary.

  • Madverts at 08:06 PM JST - 25th April

    Oh, is there a republican contener redact?

    Heh, do you want my prediction like you did back on Lemming Day?

  • Madverts at 08:07 PM JST - 25th April

    sorry, contender.

    And there was me thinking this prez race was only between two democrats.

    Heh.

  • SushiSake3 at 08:10 PM JST - 25th April

    Romeo - sorry pal, no matter what you say, Obama's still got the best chance of locking up the Democratic nomination, and with record numbers of voters turning out for the Democrats, it looks like your next president is going to be the man you love to slag - Barack Obama.

    "The lapdog media"...that sounds like how you got involved in the unwinnable war in Irak.

    Think your nation is dumb enough to get sucked in again?

    Hope not.

    I'm just wondering what breed of dog President Obama is going to keep from next January when he moves into the White House.

    The Lap Dog will have to wait until or IF Amerioans are stupid enough to vote in another Republican president.

    "it looks like your next president is going to be ... (b)arack."

    As I've posted at the old JT site, given the number of terrorist friends he has (Bill Ayers, Hatem El-Hady) barack would never pass an NAC Security background check if he was tryin' to get a GS-4 job much less the Presidency.

    barack's facade is rapidly unraveling like a cheap sweater.

    I love the horror that seems to run through some republicans about the upcoming elections. The rheteric that some of these republicans are writing is so heart warming and touching.

    It's such a breath of fresh air to hear their fear.

    The democratic party will be fine. When the general election comes around, the democrats will be behind their candidate. Which ever one it is.

    "barack's facade is rapidly unraveling like a cheap sweater."

    Heh...all I want to know is how many times it needs to be parotted before it becomes true in the ever so panicky believer's mind.

  • SushiSake3 at 10:28 PM JST - 25th April

    Romeo - thankfully your country is a reasonably democratic one, and aside from the current president stealing the 2000 election, the best man or woman will win.

    And it's not going to be your man, who - sorry - what was his name again?

    You know, the guy you weren't supporting only 4 months ago.....7

    I smell Republican desperation in the air, and it smells like a Democratic victory.

    Bring. It. On!

    Suddenly, I feel sorry for the residents of Indiana.

    RR2 and SS3, I think both of you are right. Obama's facade is coming off, but at the same time, the momentum is there to keep him going and wrap up the DNC nomination. But that doesn't mean he'll win the general.

    A few things that should be kept in mind are that 1) in the "record number of Democrat voters" are a significant number of Republicans who switched parties to vote for whoever was behind in their state. Pennsylvania was an example of that. 2) The division within the party from this extended battle. A lot of Obama fans hate the Clintons as much as (if not more than) many Republicans. There are a lot of Clinton supporters who feel the same about the empty suit- er, I mean Obama. Whichever Marxist gets the nom, there will likely be as many "protest votes" (staying home, write-ins) as in the GOP. 3) The superdelegates. yes, the party that insists on calling itself "Democratic" can have the voice of the people squashed by a select few elitists. The irony just kills me. Many of these superdelegates have been supporting Hillary for years, and have invested themselves in order to get a posh D.C. job or the vice-presidency. My state's governor, Phil Bredesen, is one such superdelegate. He's been campaigning for Hillary's VP for both of his terms.

    It's quite true that McCain doesn't exactly inspire the conservatives. If it weren't for his budget-cutting, Joe Lieberman might as well be the nominee. But considering that the DNC has once again offered up a government-spending-will-cure-all-of-your-problems-real-or-imagined disciple of Karl Marx, MCain will probably be supported, however grudgingly. Besides, he might pick a sound running mate that would bring out the conservatives.

    "The democratic party will be fine. When the general election comes around, the democrats will be behind their candidate. Which ever one it is."

    daydream, the Republicans won't have to do much to win this time around for three reasons:

    1.) hillary has very high negatives. I don't believe anyone has ever been elected with negatives this high.

    2.) Ralph Nader will easily skim off at least 5 percent of the democratic vote. More depending who you guys choose in late August.

    3.) barack is already damaged goods. He's alienated small-town America voters; and that's just within your own party.

    I'm still of the opinion that the Supers realize this and won't give him the nod. Yet, you democrats might still him nominate at this point just to appease the Black vote (all 17 percent of them nationwide who vote democrat).

    If that happens, then by all means let him be the nominee. Because come November there are going to be a lot of upset democrats. So far, he's only been lightly dinged by a corner of hillary's kitchen sink. Just wait if barack gets to the GE and the GOP starts its full-on assault. He'll wind up losing by McGovern proportions in the general.

    "the guy you weren't supporting only 4 months ago"

    sake2/3: I admit, Mr. McCain was not my choice to by my party's candidate. But given what the democrats are proposing to be the next leader of the the most powerful country in the world - a person whose claim to fame is being the wife of the only U.S. President to be impeached in the 20th century and a documented terrorist hugger - the choice for me is an easy one.

    sushisake writes:"I'm just wondering what breed of dog President Obama is going to keep from next January when he moves into the White House."

    So predictable.

    As much as I disliked Clinton, I have to admit the dog was a good idea.

    It kept the Japanese media, and obviously the media in sushisake's country, focused on White House and US politics at all times.

    Mission Accomplished!
