Wright controversy affects the polls

One reason is that Obama now has taken two diametrically opposed stands on the minister whose church he attended for 20 years, who married him and his wife and baptized their children, whose sermon inspired the title of his 2006 book, "The Audacity of Hope." On March 18, his response was: No, I cannot renounce my pastor. On April 29, his response was: Yes, I can.

Another and more important reason is that Obama's long association with a minister who says that the federal government manufactured the AIDS virus to kill black people, who likens American soldiers to terrorists, who celebrates Louis Farrakhan as a great man -- that long association tends to undermine the central theme of Obama's candidacy. Obama has presented himself since his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech as a leader who can unite America across political and racial divides. He presented himself to American voters, most of whom, I believe, think it would be a very good thing if we elected a black president. (I personally feel that way.) "In the blue states," Obama told the convention in Boston and the nation watching on TV, "we worship an awesome God." Now it turns out that the God worshipped in the Rev. Wright's church was "awesome" in ways we didn't expect.

Obama can't be too happy with his less than convincing win in Guam this afternoon either. Super Tuesday III will tell the tale.

You're smoking too much crack. Lay down that crackpipe.

Obama wasn't EVEN expected to win there - All the pundits were calling Guam for Clinton :eyes:

And I just saw Schneider on CNN saying Obama was expected to win by a bigger margin.

Just showing some evidence that maybe Hillary wasn't universally expected to take Guam.

Where's Hillary?

Obama probably would have won Guam 70-30 like he won Hawaii 81-19 or something. Now.....not so much.

predicted a 55-45 win for Obama in Guam. It looks like it will be 54-46. :shrug:

Everything else I saw predicted a Clinton victory.

And aren't your palms getting hairy from all that Pastorbating?

Why is that?

What an icky repugish circle jerk.

If Obama loses the GE.

thanks for the heads up on holding people accountable for fucking up democrats chances in the fall!

Obama IS the nominee.
time to move on and use that donation money for something more useful( no no, i dont mean to give it to republicans, i know how you hillary supporters think!) like the DNC and any of the various left organisations out there.

I've always thought people from Spokane are a lot smarter than this.

hmmm......


:evilgrin:

can easily predict the answers to the questions..

Like Lou Dobbs polls.. ever wonder why they are always 99-1, 95-5 etc??
