What we do know about Senator Obama is disconcerting (friends in low places,flagpin,FISA,public campaign financing,invading Pakistan,REZKO-Chicago Machine,Wright-Fleger,Ayers-Dohrn,etc.).
The bottom line: Senator Obama remains tied w/Senator McCain in an election year that should favor Democrats across the board. He has the media running interference on his behalf. So: Why is he struggling? Because the Hillarycrats are not buying what he’s selling. This fact alone is apt to cost him the election, assuming voter fraud is kept to a minimum.
Please share widely!

tie dems who don’t support Obama to Hillary Clinton. There are a million reasons why people do and don’t support whatever candidate. To attribute all of them to a former support (you assume) of Clinton is just silly.
<
p>For the record, I was a Hillary supporter in the primaries. But Obama is the nominee so I now support Obama, and I’m not dragging my feet either. I have yet to meet a Hillary supported who is voting McCain, although I do still meet Obama primary supporters who insist that I must renounce my former support of Hillary in order to be a “real” Obama supporter. You know what? I don’t have time for crap like that. We’ve got an election to win.

Hello; I can only hope that the Obama campaign is as dismissive as you of the emerging rump action against him. I admit I can’t quantify how many Hillarycrats for McCain-Palin there are, but I can tell you that I have spoken to them by phone and heard them being interviewed on numerous radio stations. They are out there, in multiple incarnations, and I maintain that they will cost Senator Obama the election. Their primary unifying characteristic: they were and are Hillary supporters. One of them, by the way, is Bill Clinton. If you saw his recent ABC TV interview, it is hard for me to believe he is genuinely supportive of Obama. Just a thought.

I don’t know what on whose behalf you signed up today, and immediately launched into this effort to stir up crap, but it isn’t working. Your laundry list of imagined offenses means nothing next to the list of real offenses a President McCain would unleash upon this nation. I’d never heard of “high-profile” John Coale — turns out he’s one that tiny group of “DC-based attorneys” that admire each other and have minimal impact on the real world. Nor am I interested in the thoughts of a minor European noble such as Lady Rothschild.
<
p>I think that list pales compared to Obama’s supporters which include a Republican former congressman (Leach), former Senator (Chaffee), current mayor (Whitaker) and current Republican congressman (Gilchrest).
<
p>As opposed for your cherry-picking of the polls, I don’t think Obama has the largest lead of the campaign season thus far without Democrats falling in line, and patriotic Americans who are Republican or unenrolled agreeing that American needs deliberate and achievable change.

A random blog who approvingly quotes “Christians Against Obama” who rail that Obama should politicize the bailout negotiations by flying into Washington as McCain did. This quote is over a photoshopped photo of Obama. Two posts beneath that is a request for readers to enjoy a “profoundly moving, intimate portrait of John McCain”: by…David Brooks.

Are you saying there is something Obama needs to do differently? If so, what? He’s done plenty of reaching out to Hillary supporters, of which I was one. So whom are you supporting? If you supported Hillary it makes no sense whatsoever to now support McCain. The daylight between Clinton and Obama on the issues is negligible compared to that between either Democrat and McCain. The Clintons themselves are firmly behind Obama as they made clear at convention and since. BTW, the accusations you make in the penultimate paragraph have been factchecked to death or otherwise addressed.

Read between the lines: President Bill Clinton’s recent ABC interview makes it plain that he is supporting Senator Obama in rhetoric only. He stated that Senator McCain’s return to Washington was NOT related to his fear of debating since McCain has been asking Obama for more debates all along. He also announced that he would not campaign for Obama during the Jewish holidays. I encourage you to listen to what’s going on at places like Noquarter, and Clintons4McCain and PUMA, etc. I can’t tell you the size of this movement but it’s something to watch, particularly in a close election. I might also refer you to Suffolk University’s most recent NH poll results, which show the race tied, Obama winning the two bellweather towns. However, while 8% of NH Republicans are voting for Obama, 16% of NH Democrats are voting for McCain.
