I don't know.  This may be the end for O'Bama.  Jane Fonda and Jimmy Carter endorsed him today and it looks like algore is leaning his way.  That could be the proveribial "kiss of death" for Barry O'Bama.

This guy is just "imploding"  all over the place.

Egads!  More "implosion" all over the place!  

If he keeps "imploding" like this McCain will ask to be his VP candidate.

Obama "implodes" to only 26 point lead in North Carolina.  

Obama "implosion" continues in Pennsylvania as HRC lead drops from 16 points to only 6.6.  

Obama is clearly doomed!  No way he can actually win the primary contests if he continues this massive "implosion!"

More signs of "implosion" on the Super Delegate race too!  Stick a fork in him.  This "clown" is done.  

The New York Times
April 7, 2008
The Caucus
In Superdelegate Count, Tough Math for Clinton
By JOHN HARWOOD


The hill that Hillary Rodham Clinton must climb to beat Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination will grow a little steeper on Monday, as it has most days lately.

Margaret Campbell, a Montana state legislator, plans to declare her support for Senator Obama, of Illinois. She becomes the 69th superdelegate he has picked up since the Feb. 5 coast-to-coast string of primary elections and caucus votes.

In the same period, Senator Clinton, of New York, has seen a net loss of two superdelegates, according to figures from the Obama campaign that Clinton aides do not dispute. That erosion may dim Mrs. Clinton’s remaining hopes even more than internal campaign turmoil, which led to the ouster on Sunday of the campaign’s chief strategist, Mark Penn.

Trailing by more than 160 pledged delegates — those chosen in state primaries or caucuses — Mrs. Clinton has counted on superdelegates to help her overtake Mr. Obama with a late surge before the party’s convention in August. The party’s rules for proportional allocation make it highly difficult for her to erase Mr. Obama’s pledged delegate lead, even if she sweeps the final 10 contests.

So her aides have lobbied to persuade those still uncommitted superdelegates to back her — or to continue holding out so her campaign has the chance to demonstrate momentum and superior electability in primaries from Pennsylvania’s on April 22 through Montana’s on June 3.

Yet Mrs. Clinton’s once formidable lead among superdelegates who have announced preferences has shrunk to 34 by the Obama campaign count. The pool of remaining uncommitted superdelegates for her to draw from has dwindled to around 330, fewer than half the overall total of 795 superdelegates.

Mrs. Clinton tried again this weekend to stem the erosion, speaking to Ms. Campbell on a campaign swing through Montana. But Ms. Campbell declined to hold out any longer, saying, “Senator Obama reminds me of why I’m a Democrat.”

Even if Mrs. Clinton narrows Mr. Obama’s delegate lead to 100, and if no further superdelegates make commitments through the end of the primaries, she’d wake up June 4 needing to win over two-thirds of the still-uncommitted superdelegates.

That group now includes 120 Democratic National Committee members, 74 House members, 19 senators and 6 governors, among others. In the last two weeks, however, Mr. Obama picked up support from Senators Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, former Senator John Melcher of Montana and Gov. Dave Freudenthal of Wyoming.

Aides said time was actually in Mr. Obama’s favor. The longer he demonstrates he can withstand the heat of a national campaign, they say, the more willing party leaders seem to be to embrace him. “What we’re seeing now is a trickle of people making that final decision to publicly commit,” says Jeffrey Berman, Mr. Obama’s chief delegate tracker.

His counterpart for Mrs. Clinton, Harold Ickes, directs 10 staffers working full time to forestall further defections. Mr. Ickes says the campaign can preserve a large enough pool of holdouts for her to rally before the Denver convention.

“Based on what we’re seeing,” Mr. Ickes said, “most of them are waiting and watching and holding their powder.”
Mrs. Clinton’s strategists were heartened by the negative publicity that followed the inflammatory criticism of the United States by Mr. Obama’s former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. They saw the episode as a fresh argument for Democratic superdelegates to stay off the Obama bandwagon.

But Mr. Obama’s campaign, backed by recent opinion polls, argues that his speech rejecting those remarks while calling for dialogue on race relations has prevented fallout among superdelegates.

“Most people think he passed that test,” said Mr. Obama’s deputy campaign manager, Steve Hildebrand.
Some, in fact, said they were drawn to Mr. Obama precisely because of that speech.

Especially in some of the states that have yet to vote, the Wright affair “is a big vulnerability,” said Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, a Clinton superdelegate. And “all of this delegate stuff is artificial,” she added, alongside the reality that the party’s nominee must be able to carry big states like hers, where Mrs. Clinton won a disputed victory; Ohio, where she triumphed last month; and Pennsylvania, where she leads in polls.

Such reasoning didn’t dissuade Ms. Campbell, who also spoke to Mr. Obama over the weekend. His handling of the Wright episode showed “his strong points” at racial reconciliation, she concluded, to the benefit of her fellow Native Americans as well as other groups.

“I think he can win a general election,” Ms. Campbell said. “He gives me that belief that America can be united.”

They are actually saying he is tied with HRC in PA now at 45% each.  He's just imploding all over the place.

It's so difficult to even see the Presidential election here in PA when the Democrats who have destroyed the city are attempting to combine it into Allegheny County.  The state has been bailing the city out now for a number of years and is in fact running the city.  The Democrats have found a new way to solve their money problems.  They are going to make Pittsburgh one huge city and let all the suburbanites pay for their problems.  We're going to be the next Detroit.  When they put the 2 new stadiums up for a vote, they were voted down.  They did it anyway.  They are building a tunnel under one of the rivers that absolutely no one wants.  Now they're going to put this consolidation to a vote and it will be voted down but they will do it anyway too.  Welcome, Comrades, to the communist city of Pittsburgh where the imploding Barack Obama will win this side of the state on Apr 22.

I woke up this morning and found little bits of the Obama campaign all over the neighborhood.  It looks like the "implosion" must be picking up steam!  I sure hope they clean this up soon.  Ewwwwww. . . .

By election time the RATS are going to wonder why they backed this turd.


Ohio shows John McCain leading Barack Obama 47% to 40%

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Ohio shows John McCain leading Barack Obama 47% to 40%. He also leads Hillary Clinton 47% to 42%. Last month, McCain led both Democrats by six percentage points.
Former Ohio Congressman Rob Portman has been mentioned as a possible Vice Presidential candidate for John McCain. Eleven percent (11%) of the state’s voters say they’d be more likely to support the ticket with Portman on it while 19% hold the opposite view. Republicans are evenly divided. Among unaffiliated voters, 6% would be more likely to vote for McCain with Portman on the ticket and 20% less likely.

Well, that cinches it.  It will be a McCain/Portman ticket.  

Here in PA, the MSM is still saying Obama is gaining and they are still currently tied.  He is running ads non-stop playing on the needy sheep.  HRC has been here alot more but neither of them have come to my area.  If they'd just come and bowl a game, I'd maybe go watch, but if they come to speak, I couldn't stand to listen without opening my mouth...probably get stoned by those hatemongering, racist, homophobic, ovaryphobic, seniorphobic liberals.
