"For what is worth, the population of planet earth overwhelmingly wants Obama to win according to The Economist's Global Electoral College project. The only red country is Georgia.....lol"
For what it is worth, foreign support for Obama almost exactly parallels the national average for the 'yes' reply to pollsters' questions like 'Do you resent America's power and influence?'

"I personally know 2 execs who took their harvard MBAs off their office walls after shrub "won" in 2004. Deeply embarrasing alma mater."
Barney Frank and Franklin Raines are both Harvard grads.

"LOL! Whatever it is, it's not CEOs."
Is it the little brownshirted thugs from ACORN committing voter fraud in several states as we speak?

"Oh please.....and we all know that CEOs are the most important segment of US society who's wishes should be catered to for the good of the whole US....sheesh. Delusional."
By all means, tell us what segment of US society you in Europe or Canada just know is the most important.

"But among those who study economics for a living, Mr Obama’s lead is much more commanding."
There are those who study it and those who have to study it and make the hard choices of how to act on the info.
"Chief Executive magazine’s most recent polling of 751 CEOs shows that GOP presidential candidate John McCain is the preferred choice for CEOs. According to the poll, which is featured on the cover of Chief Executive’s most recent issue, by a four-to-one margin, CEOs support Senator John McCain over Senator Barack Obama. Moreover, 74 percent of the executives say they fear that an Obama presidency would be disastrous for the country. "

"Wondering how McCain will do that without making himself look as foolish as the doubters do here."
The NY Times saw fit to question McCain's eligibility for POTUS.
He produced the vault copy of his birth certificate.
We constantly read of how poorly he did at the academy.
Why won't Barack Obama release the vault copy of his birth certificate, his grades and transcripts and his medical records?
Come on, "fight the smears."

leitmotiv - Notice I said you have to chuckle.
I genuinely enjoy reading the absurd picture of America that guys like you and sushi sake and timorborder have.
It also amuses me how you guys can live in a country and culture as utterly and wonderfully alien as Japan and obviously spend soooo much time obsessing about the United States of America or the fortunes of the miniscule Alaskan Independence Party (!).

You have to chuckle watching an obviously anti-American crowd here trying to get worked up about Sarah Palin's supposed links to a miniscule fringe party that has a lot of tough talk about secession or independence when nothing would make these Europeans or Canadians happier than seeing America diminished.
For the record - you can meet a lot of people on the West Coast who grumble about breaking away.
Hawaii also has a pretty big independence movement.
It doesn't excite the way you imagine or hope it does.

"Yes I agree Michelle Malkin is very unhinged. Isnt she the one who argued the positive points of US internment in concentration camps of US citizens with Japanese heritage in the 1940s?"
Did she argue for them as effectively as did the Democratic administration which made them legal and made them real?

"And what about professor palins connections to the alaska independence party"
Oh, I'd say zero effect on registered Republicans.
But I imagine she looks even more attractive to Libertarians.
If she wants independence from the rest of us why is she so eager to offer the country all of Alaska's oil?

"enourmous recent evidence directly against it based on the tenor of the recent mcsame rallies - shrieks of "bomb him, kill obama" from the fun rabid redneck types in attendance."
Enormous?
Compared to what?
We have movies, books, plays and songs simulating or imagining or even calling for the death or assassination of George Bush.
And still the media make it all seem a one way phenomenon.
You want to see unhinged?

"Especially fun are the recent video captures of the GOP "core" constituents spluttering gems like: "Ah aint votin' fer no obama....he's a A-rab!" They should just come out of their KKKlosets and admit what you really object to."
I doubt the Klan (which was always overwhelmingly Democrat - old Senator Robert Byrd will tell ya) has or ever had much of a following up in Minnesota, where that one 'video capture' was made.
No, my guess is a lot of the fear is born of the still lingering shock of that indelible image of Obama's pastor of 20 years, his "spiritual adviser" and mentor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Those 'video captures' where he is at his pulpit and shrieking "G_d Damn America! It's in the Bible!" still get a lot of play.

Look - By the end of the Dem primaries the only post WW2 Democrat elected to two terms as president and the only female Dem ever chosen for VP both found themselves accused of being 'racist'.
Fortunately, most sensible people believe the charge has lost most of its impact and recognize it is most often an attempt to end discussion; i.e. a racist is what you reflexively call someone (even a fellow 'liberal') who is more conservative than you or whose opinions you
disagree with.

"Today Ayers says it was partly because of "[the boy's] questions of who he is and what the background of his mother's life was that [Ayers] started to write this memoir."
But of course. Like Nancy Pelosi and like Barack Obama he is another good "liberal" whose destructive politics or unseemly alliances can be dismissed because at the end of the day, you see, he is obviously all about the children.

Sezwho2,
Why would an innocent man write a book entitled Fugitive Days?

Honestly, it's embarrassing watching you do this to yourself.
William Ayers admitted he was guilty.
2001 Photo ("rehabilitated" Bill Ayers desecrating the American flag), and article from a sympathetic Chicago magazine:
"Dohrn plea-bargained to charges of inciting to mob action and resisting police officers. She was sentenced to three years' probation and a $1,500 fine. Ayers was not charged. Even then he showed a way with words: "Guilty as hell, free as a bird—America is a great country," he said."

Foreign media are more interested in the truth about Obama's ties to unrepentant terrorists than is the American.

"Philip J Berg, this lawyer is a nut case from way back. He is a rabid Hillary supporter and hates Bush more than anything."
Which only means he is like a lot of the Democrats in America...
McCain settled all doubts about his eligibility by producing the longer, more detailed vault version of his birth cert.
Why won't Obama do the same?

The same pic of Obama's birth was in the video, along with an explanation of why it is bogus.
Where is the LA Times explanation of why the Obama campaign has filed a motion to dismiss the Berg lawsuit instead of easily proving he is eligible to be POTUS?
McCain settled doubts about his eligibility by producing the vault version of his birth cert.
Why won't Obama do the same?
What better way to prove, in these times of financial insecurity, that the Democrats are serious about protecting you? Obama took 425 million dollars in donations.
No small sum.
Even if I were a Democrat I would have some serious concerns.

"Great source there,Investor's Business Daily a conservative newspaper."
A conservative paper whose podcast page offers New Republic podcasts right alongside those of the conservative writers they feature. Show me one of your Lefty sites that is as interested in what the other side believes.
"Here is a counter point, if he is so close to Alice Palmer, then why did she campaign for Hillary?"
He isn't close to her. She introduced him to politics at the state level, basically offering her state senate seat since she had decided to run for Congress. But she lost and wanted her old seat back. He campaigned against her and with legal help had enough of her votes invalidated to win. Result:She endorsed Hillary. Who wouldn't? Try doing a little research beyond the LA Times.
"BTW no one has brought up the fact that goooood old McBush was born in Panama have they! Dare it McBush is not even an American! LOL"
Glad you brought that one up.
"A lifelong Democrat who has held political office and been a committeeman, Philip Berg, has brought suit over the real questions raised by the absence of a valid Obama birth certificate. His narrative of the various questions Obama has refused to answer is devastating. Graphics and sound are well-deployed to avoid tedium as factual data is conveyed in a way that allows viewers to absorb it. When he contrasts Obama's behavior when challenged (use perfectly valid legal technicalities to delay) with John McCain's full disclosure of all documentary evidence under a similar challenge (remember the flap over his birth in the Panama Canal Zone? -- who raised those questions, anyway?), there is no doubt in a viewer's mind that there is something seriously wrong here."
McCain has proven that he meets the Constitution's requirements for POTUS.
Obama has not, though he has accepted over 400 million dollars from American Democrats.
Why won't he provide his legal birth cert and things like university admissions records and transcripts?
Judge for yourself. The same video makers who brought the Rev Wright videos to the public's awareness
