bammy loses 13 points in one week...in nc! and now 9 as well!

in a state he's supposed to run away with. when he's got a almost 3-1 cash advantage.

bammy cannot close the deal and goes from leading by 25 to leading by 12 in north carolina of all places.



pour some money in there, bammy

Of course the Republicans are enjoying this but I don't understand the intra-party gloating over the first brilliant and viable black candidate being brought down by another black man's ego. This is what the Democrats have come to? These are the ashes from which will rise Hillary's phoenix? I'm the first to acknowledge Obama's stalls re Wright and other mistakes. But what's the air of triumph about here? That those in "Obama-nation" will be brought to their knees? Denounce their naive idoltry? Finally recognize what fools they were to embrace this man? It's all just more chaos, division, and another reason to be sad.

but they won't auggie. they won't.

and should this prove to be his undoing it won't be because of another black man's ego, it will be because of his own opportunism. his own character flaws. he chose that church to buy street cred when he was starting out as a harvard educated half-black from hawaii. when it threatened to derail his plans, he threw it away. he's just arrogant enough to have thought that his candidacy was enough to keep that uppity rev. quiet. but to quote the rev. he's reaping what he has sown.

he is the one who betrayed them not vice versa. the reverend hasn't changed, he's the same man he always was. but sudenly what was good for the new kid in town isn't good enough for the candidate. the church that gave him credibility in the black community isn't so popular among them white folks.

if you want to bemoan a tragedy about an ego, the star is not wright, but bammy. he's finding out that the world doesn't always do exactly what he wants it to simply because he's bammy. personally, that's one of the reasons i don't want him in the white house. arrogance is one thing, but when coupled with naivete as it is in him it can be deadly.

oct. 2009 - president obama, "i denouce what he has done and can say categorically that the man who unleashed a nuclear attack on israel today is not the same man who sat with me in the white house. the president ahmadinejad with whom we signed a non-aggression treaty and provided economic aid is not the man i see today. i am presonally taken aback by the disrespect this attack shos to me personally and plan to take this issue up with him when we meet again in january."

I'll just be damned if I'm gonna sit back and watch the pro-Obama people (I don't mean Auggie specifically, lest anyone try to misconstrue what I'm saying) try to indict the Hillary supporters here, especially since we've had to watch the first female candidate with a viable chance of being elected being reduced to a bitch and a **** and derided for her presidential ambitions, as though Obama was just lackadaisically meandering towards the candidacy that certain people seem to think he is owed.

Brilliant? Dim bulb might be more apropos given recent develpments

Howard Dean and Donna Brazile are working very hard to make sure Obama still gets the nomination.

Apparently, they don't believe he can beat McCain either, but they feel that if he loses the nomination, millions of AA voters will desert the party, endangering local elections all across the country.

So they would prefer to lose the presidency but keep Congress and the governorships--and that's what they've been telling the supers.

No, African-American. And PJ, is this just mere speculation on your part?

---

PJ, where did you hear that? Man, if thats true I think its sad.

---

how quickly the golden boy has fallen.

---

I highly doubt the majority of black voters will leave the party (or abstain) should Hillary get the nom. The Clintons have always been popular with the AA community.

---

If he drops out (which I can't imagine) how could anyone be mad at the DNC? BTW, has Obama won any state (other than Vermont) since Rev. Wright became an issue?

---

I'm still wondering why Obama never denounced Wright all these 20 or so years, and waited until now, when he's virtually forced to.
