Let's get back to point..... Though I agree there is very little "real" non military economy left in the US
Sooo.... Obama won North Carolina due to the large black population overwhelmingly voting for him. This was predictable and not unexpected. Hillary won Indiana by a hair after being as much as 10 points back in the polls. By any stretch, this was a great come from behind victory... Yet... Look how this has been spun by the Democratic National Committee and the Liberal news media. They have painted up Tuesday as a big victory for Barak Obama, a finishing touch. Why?
Because they ARE BIASED and want to see the furor in the Democratic party ended and a nominee chosen so the party can focus on the battle with McCain in the fall. Sure, Obama is ahead in delegates, but he hasn't secured the nominatin. And since when did the media ever walk away from a big story that could fill air time? The Party and it's surrogates (most of the media) understand the damage being inflicted by the continuing battle between Clinton and Obama. Therefore, they are seeking to bring it to an end with spin. I wonder what will happen if Hillary wins any more primaries this week? They gonna say she "lost" there too?
More and more superdelegates are either coming out and declaring their support for Obama or they are switching from Clinton. I noticed most of the ones who switched were black superdelegates who had come out for Clinton early and have now found themselves out of touch with the current happenings. They simply want to ride the train they think is going to win so they can claim a share of the pie if Obama really does become president and be able to say they "supported" the black candidate to their black voters back home.
Obama has huge mountains to overcome if he wants to become president. Sad to say many older americans will not vote for him because he has a muslim name. Many older americans also will not vote for him because he is black. Though I do not personally buy into any of these arguments, I am of a different generation than Americans 60 and Older, most of whom at one time supported segration at one time in their lives or other. Of course, they will cite any other reason as to why they didn't support Obama than these two, but these two will be the real reasons why they vote for McCain.
Secondly, Obama is way left on the political spectrum, and not just on the war in Iraq. Clinton, at least, in closer to center on a lot of issues, though not all. Obama's "leave now" stance on the Iraq war doesn't make any sense to many Americans. This is akin to invading Normandy in World War Two, fighting your way across France, winning the Battle of the Bulge, Fighting your way across the Rhine, and then, when half way to Berlin, offering to surrender to the Germans. This is NOT how one fights a war and everyone knows it. If you start it, you finish it. This attitude won't play well in middle america.
Thirdly, Obama hasn't articulated what he wants to "change" and how. He needs to do this. He doesn't understand that, yes, Americans want a change away from the wasteful fighting between the two parties, but that he needs to say exactly how he intends to accomplish this process. If I buy a car, I want to know how it rides.
There are other points, but enough. Response?
