Rasmussen shows 64% of Americans think Palin should be the nominee in 2112.
I didnt even expect that much.
Even if it were 32% thats still impressive at this time wth all the BS about her floating around

You say that NJ is not a good guage of Obamas positions and refer to votesmart, when votesmart itself uses views and data fro NJ to complete its presentations. So the NJ cant really be all that “SILLY” as you say if vote smart project uses it as reliable data.

Your relation to FOX is predictable an irrelevant as that your only escape is to start bashing ones sources based on bias opinon only.
I bashed your source with the “FACT” that it and the NJ work together.

And really, who cares if the NVs arent counted ?
DUH?
Its all the Y votes on the liberal agendas that make my point.

Also, I and anyone who is an avid blogger has been researching Obama since he announced his candidacy, almost two years ago, give or take a couple months, so spare me the petty minutia.
I’ve come across a lot of things so ridiculous that I cast it out my mind right away like the front page of the Globe.

His upbringing, family, schooling, choice of associates, activities supported, spiritual choices, mmentors etc…
The guy is as left as weve ever seen any president in history.
Its no secret, its common discussion that doesnt get too much resistance on many forms I’ve listened to.
I think you just want to spur disagreement for the sake of it since you cant really prove much of anything else.

Where do you guys get these silly ideas from, anyway?

If a bill is sure to pass with or without you, and you “no vote,” then is that as good as a “no.” Man, you guys have some seriously misguided simplifications goin’ on here.

And you have not been studying the guy for years. Give it a rest. You sound like you’ve spent the past two years studying Rush Limbaugh. I saw his votesmart records. But you have to look at his State Senate record if you want the whole picture, and there you see most of his record was rather moderate. Too moderate for me. Look, if he was really as left as you say he is, I’d be his biggest fan, and I’m not. So come back down to Earth Micky. You’re way out in Right field.

The NV’s are NOT counted in the NJ survey, Micky. That’s why nobody serious takes the NJ ranking seriously. It’s just fodder for Fox News goofballs.

Unforunatly he his not a white man so my point remains the same.

Cmon Micky, get real here for a moment. You obviously don’t even know his “track record.” Here’s his US Senate voting record: http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=9490 Pretty standard stuff. But notice all the “NV”s. That’s Barack running for president. McCain’s looks the same. Are you reallly going to try to assert that Obama is more “liberal” than Bernie Sanders? Russell Fiengold? Teddy Kennedy? Shumer? Whitehouse? Wyden?

C’mon. Get real.

“America electing a black man represents how badly the right screwed up?”

That would be a rather misleading way of putting it. I think I would put it like this, “The Republicans screwed up so bad, that even a black, northern senator with a liberal reputation could win the Whitehouse!” To be honest, if he was a white, southern governor with a moderate reputation, I think McCain would have lost by thirty points.

Please, stop spreading mis information.
His past on the hill is common knowledge to everyone.

America electing a black man represents how badly the right screwed up ?

See a shrink, or question your bigotry (oops, did I do a Jersey and question someones sanity ?)

Damn right.

Theres lots of bright community organizers that are not fit to lead.
Anyone can write a book, ask Carter.

John Gotti.
Charles Manson.
Jesse Jackson.
Hugo Chavez.

I think a good part of the left just wanted to prove to the world our diversity and elect a black man.
No matter what the consequences
Get it ?

As much as I hate to agree with you, my sense he will be pragmatic and govern from the center. Far more moderate than Democrats want and Republicans fear. My guess is in many ways he will disappoint Pelosi, Soros and company. I hope we both turn out to be correct

Much the way Reagan did overall even though he is painted by both right and left as an extreme conservative. Look how much he got accomplished both in California and in the White House whihc overwhelming control of the legislature by Democrats in both cases.

Oh man! You said it! I mean, he’s not really all that “liberal,” but thats what most people think, and that’s all that really matters. And a black, “liberal,” northern senator at that! I mean, when you look around the world, women and minorities that make it to top office are almost always “conservative” or from the “rightwing.” It seems to sort of make it okay if they seem to be against what most people would think is in their “special” interest. Indira Ghandi, Margeret Thatcher, Benazir Bhutto, etc. To think that an African American Democratic senator from Illinois made it to the top is just plain amazing. Thats like three or four strikes against ya’ right there! I think it proves one thing for sure: The Republicans REEEEAAAAALLLLY screwed up this time.

His actual record is very moderate (despite that silly ranking from the National Journal that reflected time he was busy running for president). When you look at his transition team, it’s all mainstreamers, Blue Dogs, Wall Streeters, etc. Dont expect anything “radical” from Obama (despite the past 20,000 hours of Fox “News” broadcasting). He seems like a genuinely thoughtful and pragmatic guy. I think his administration will reflect that.

I only wish he was more to the Left.
