Day in delegates.....Obama 2-0

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!

finally

McCain's mah knigg!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to the MN speech!

The fact that a terribly flawed candidate like Barack Hussein Obama could get the nominatio is just further proof that it is all no more than an American Idol contest, with Obama being the coolest, hippest candidate. And, after 8 years of such a shitty administration, everyone is hungry for change, for better or for worse.

There seems to be a pattern that extremes beget extremes. Clinton brought us Newt Gingrich, Bush brought us the train wreck that is the Pelosi Congress, and now he may also have paved the way for a marxist to become the next president. Good times!

John McCain's middle name is Sidney...who knew?

Okay, and how does he plan on funding health care for everyone in this country?? Sounds like his plan isn't any different from Hillary's plan. The reason health care is so fucked up and expensive in the first place is because of government intervention. And he thinks more government intervention will solve the problem?

This is what I don't get. Whenever there is a supposed "problem" in the country, people always run to the government. Inflation is the #1 "tax" that is killing middle-class America, and what is it a result of? Bigger government. So why the hell would anyone want to move towards a larger government, which inevitably leads to more government regulation, which leads to higher taxes? Like Dennis Prager said, the European countries that were adopting socialist policies were going bankrupt and robbing their citizens of their incomes by levying heavy taxes, resulting in masses of people migrating to neighboring countries with more conservative leaders. What happened to these socialist countries? They started to lose LOTS of money, thus citizens started electing more conservative leaders, thus lowering taxes. They are in much better shape than they were just 5 years ago.

Obama widens his lead over McCain in the polls.

Very early (obviously) but a good article about how some of the different demographics are breaking down and what challenges both candidates face in November.

It's definitely gonna be a close one for sure. Oh well, may the best democrat win this time. McCain is basically a democrat who supports the Iraq war and was against the tax cuts before he was for them. It's hard for most any conservative to get excited about him.

big problem with the universal health care ideas is that:

it screws the Dr's income off the bat

The D students will get the same cash as the A students so where is the insentive to go over and beyond. moral will lower and the quality of healthcare will surely decline.

it wont matter how good of a job you will do, you get the same cash either way, if you do a great surgery or one with complications or reprocussions.

Its like giving a flat 40k salary to all salesmen on the car lot...no iniative to do better.

do you obama-bots see that?

i guess political experience doesnt matter to many of you either. When picking a basketball team would you rather have Kobe or kwame brown, Hoops?

i dont know all the true underlying methods of improvement if any but i dont thing obama can improve on it with his inexperience.

Universal healthcare WILL fail in this country, if it's enacted. There will be no reason for doctors to perform well and go beyond the call of duty, because all of their salaries will be the same! So Dr. 90210 who performs amazing plastic surgeries on fake ass bitches in LA will be getting the same salary as some plastics in Montana.

It's such bullshit. And in the end, all of our taxes will increase big time if universal healthcare is enacted, thus you'll end up paying more anyways than if a free-market system was in place.

Go take a flight over to England and check out their gas prices. Want to know why they pay $8+/gallon? High taxes due to the HEALTH CARE SYSTEM!! And now, they have to fund all of these social programs because of all of the BOMBS AND NINJAS migrating there from the ME shithole!

Uniting the party for victory in November

I'd rather have Dwight Howard than Dikembe Mutombo

Is Obama really a "tax and spend liberal" like McCain wishes to portray him?

Political experience doesn't matter a whole lot IMO. Rumsfeld and Cheney had decades of experience and were evil bastards who caused problems that this country will take decades to recover from.

In the banking world, we talk a lot about people who have 20 years of experience vs some people who have about two years of experience ten times over. Some people continuously learn and excel over the years and some people get in, hunker down, and don't learn or improve with experience.

Obama may be the smartest candidate (or at least the best spoken), but he's also so far to the left that he might as well be running for president of Cuba. As the campaign unfolds, he will likely be called to task for both his voting record and his hollow plans for future energy policy. McCain may very well be a more formidable opponent for Barrack Hussein Obama than he seems right now.

Not sure if this point was made--I didn't read the whole thread--but Obama's only accomplishment is becoming the presumptive presidential nominee with next to NO experience whatsoever. Most of his 3 (?) years in the senate were spent campaigning for the presidency! Is that qualification enough to hold the most powerful position in the world?

This isn't American Idol, America!
