via poligazette:

Rasmussen reports that for the first time since Obama won blowout victories in the Potomac Primaries on February 12, Hillary Clinton leads him nationally (among Democratic primary voters). Her lead is small, one could call it a virtual tie for sure, only 1%… but still.

Aside from that, the poll also shows:

1. Hillary Clinton doing better against John McCain than Barack Obama. Hillary loses 47% against 44%. Obama loses 47% against 42%.

2. Although Hillary Clinton’s negatives are still very high (approximately 50%), Obama is not exactly becoming more popular. He is viewed favorably by 51% and unfavorably by 47%.

3. John McCain is also outperforming both Democrats in this regard: 54% favorable, 43% unfavorable.

I bet you blew a nut reading that. Dream on, winger. McCain has a 72 year old snow ball's chance in hell of becoming POTUS.
Here are a few things you need to start getting used to-
- higher taxes
- socialized health care
- every other country in the world not despising the US.
- better community mental health
- significant cuts in military spending.
- a down scaling of Orwellian centralized power grabs made by Bush Cheney and lackies.
-

Those are a few. THe people are speaking. Anyone else?

nice dream lurk...don't get too happy yet..did you see that Rush Limbaugh had encouraged his listeners to go vote for Hilary on Tuesday, manily because Obama was the greater threat to our country (in his view). Hilary must have LOVED winning Texas and Ohio with rush's help....lol

that being said, this will be a closer election than many of you hope. big thing is, the people who bitch the most vote the least.

I'm glad people are finally seeing that Obama is full of crap. I like the fact that Obama's political career has been short enough that I don't think he's owned by many people yet. But he is disgustingly idealistic, to the point of being completely unpractical.

Hillary seems almost as bad, but at least she seems more aware of the compromises that need to be made, and that you can't promise all things to all people.

I still like McCain the best. He seems much more honest about things than either hillary or obama. And when I say more honest, I don't think hillary or obama are necessarily lying to us...I think they are lying to themselves about what they can do.

McCain seems much more pragmatic about things....bad things happen to good people...and that doesn't mean the govt needs to step into fix it. He's still the closest thing to a fiscally conservative, socially liberal candidate that I can think of, which is want I really want to see.

I will be happy to host a circle jerk for you right wing homos have your soul train reach around elephant walk. You can all sit around spitting in your palms and telling your peters- "Bleed or cum you son of a bitch, cause I beat you for the last time."
News flash for you morons who have had your heads in the sand for the last eight years- We have, as a country, suffered under the regime of the WORST president in US history. We are involved in an unpopular war that has turned into exactly what we were told it wouldn't- a quagmire where we are hopelessly embroiled and don't have any realistic hope of extracting our selves anytime soon.
Our idiot of a president has squandered all US credibility and good will that we gained in the era post WWII. We are reviled abroad.
Our economy is in in recession. The price of food is rising, the homes are devalued (thats to Bush's man, Greenspan.) The dollar is falling in value. Things look fairly bleak.
Your own president, leader of your party- the Party of Ronald Reagan, has spent more money than any president in US history. The deficit is bigger than it has ever been. My children, Ruby and Amelia, will be paying for this misguided adventurism for the rest of their lives.
Do you honestly think the people will put the same party back in the WH who is responsible for all of this? YOU (Republicans) WILL NOT WIN! The Dems could run nominate Cucinich and we would still win.
And if you think Rush Limbaugh has any significant sway on the electorate, you really need to get your news from a different source.
You guys are intelligent thinking people. It is time to put this past eight years of la la land jingoistic religious zealotry right wing xenophobic hater idealism behind you and join with us adults.
Come on over to my house after eight. The kids will be in bed and you guys can drop your sock s and grab your cocks. I will get the live web cam feed up and running and supply the KY.
