In the Race for Online Eyes, Obama Crushing Clinton

FINALLY when try to reply to someone, I get an email!! Now I wonder what happened to my original post! I see other posters have made my point for me......Obama gets more hits because we're trying to find out who he REALLY is! A lot of people had never even heard of him until he became a candidate, and with all the "baggage" he has with his pastor, friends, and mentors.....well it has me a little worried.

Well......first I couldn't get an email....now my name has changed.....what gives with this site. I'm Foleyrc....who knows what name they'll come up with on this one....I'm new to this but why did they change my name????

No, TJ, what it actually shows is that the well informed, who are not just looking at the boob tube media for their information, are overwhelmingly for Obama. Every poll shows him with significant leads among the educated and the young. So, the most knowledgeable people, and the people for whom the future of the country means the most are supporting Obama. Meanwhile, the uninformed, and the technologically and socially lagging are not.

I agree that Bill Clinton was a good president. But ,Bill had a working class background with friends of all different cultures. Hillary was raised as a republican. She does not have Bill's background, and she does not have his heart.

We all know that spouses can be very different. Hillary is no Bill. And she is the one who will be in the rooms making the decisions. That's another reason that the online community supports Obama. They know more about the candidates and aren't going to vote for Hillary simply because they see it as an extension of Bill Clinton's presidency. In fact, it was Bill's heart, his ability to reach out to different people, and his inspiring speeches and enthusiasm that helped make him a good and endearing president. It was his brilliance and intellectual agility on the spot that helped him get things done. Barack, not Hillary, has those qualities, and in some cases they are even stronger than they are in Bill. Hillary has proven to be poor under pressure, going negative and lying when her back is against the wall. And it will be Hillary, not Bill, in those rooms, making the decisions, feeling the pressure and having to be flexible on the spot.

Obama is popular because, for some reason, the media wants him to win. He has been on the cover of countless magazines including Rolling Stone. His speeches have interrupted Clinton's speeches on CNN. Just as this article suggests, he has more face time than Clinton. I am a little bit disheartened that the media has such a strong influence on who the public will vote for just because they show us what they want. Many things that the media shows is only a big deal because they make it one.

I want to know if Obama is pro-life or pro-choice. I want to know what his views are on abortion.

Thank you for such an interesting breakdown with crazy off beat stats!

Obama has said on more than one occasion, including last night during the "Compassion Forum" that he is pro-choice. He said that he wants to lessen abortions through education, including education about abstinence, contraception and the "adoption option", as he put it. But, he is pro-choice.

As for him getting more face time, that's going to be the case when you have to defend yourself against anything that anyone who has ever been associated with you has said. McCain has extremist pastors who he has sought out for support, and Hillary is a member of a conservative prayer group, but Rev. Jeremiah Wright was the top political story for two straight weeks. Hillary has praised NAFTA in her book and publicly from her own mouth, only to bash it for the Ohio primary, but a guy who wasn't even a part of Obama's campaign at the time, makes a statement in Canada and that's the top story the two days before the Ohio primary. (Obama has been consistent in his criticism of NAFTA since before he started running for president.)

When you have Fox News and conservative talk shows looking for any and everything they can to hurt Obama (which proves that they are more afraid of him than Hillary), and you have the legitimate media feeling that they have to follow up on every story, you are going to get more face time for Obama. I'm sure he'd rather not have had much of the face time over the past two months.

What's sad is that Hillary has chosen to piggy-back on everything that the republicans have used against Obama, which hurts the party. Of course, Hillary was raised as a republican and was a member of the Wellesley Young Republicans, so it shouldn't surprise me completely. It's just very disappointing.

Seriously, where do all these Hillary supporters live? It's almost as if she has an army of insane people on the internet blitzing the blogs with their nonsensical babble in a vague effort to sway public opinion.

Listen: It's not going to work. People have stopped buying the bull crap about Hillary being the one with all the "experience"; as many have pointed out, Obama is actually the one with more experience in elected office. Nor is anyone buying the constant dirt that Hillary and her supporters are throwing his way, whether it's that he's a radical muslim, a rascist or, most recently, an elitist. It's just not sticking. But most of all, it's simply factually incorrect to say that all Obama does is put forth rhetoric without any substance. If Hillary supporters had done even a little bit of researching, they could have found Barack's position on a vast range of issues including healthcare, the economy, education, etc. It is all out there.

The simple truth is that Hillary and her campaign are desperate. They have been desperate ever since Obama swept the Potomacs and won almost every primary since. She will do anything, say anything and be anything in an effort to get elected, and to hell with it if she brings the whole country down with her.

Please please PLEASE Hillary, for the love of God and the good of America, withdraw from the race and let us begin to prepare for November. It is ultimately in your hands whether this country will have Barack as our new president or McCain.

Oh Bama "08" Nuff "sayed." Yes we can recall him if he can't get it right. End of discussion!

Don't forget top political finaciers. Does Antoin "Tony the Slumlord" Rezko and Iraqi oil billionare, Nadhmi Auchi, ring a bell? No, look that up.

"Noooo, we can't hold Obama's closest people against him. Noooo. I don't want to hear it."

Wake up people, Obama's a fraud. Whos only purpose is to destroy the Clinton campain.(Not just Hillary) And who he, himself, is being propped up to be destroyed politically. In a real sense, destroying the Democratic party's chance for a real upturn for the future of this nation, and the world as a whole.
This years election will dictate how U.S. Population will live for generations to come. Optimism, Resurgance in industry and aggriculture, the way FDR inspired, and got us out of the Depression. OR Demoralized individuals destined for endless unnessesary war states, which strip finacial and phisical resources, better used in the phisycal production of new technologies, to better mankind's universe.

Do your homework this year folks. My children, your children, their children's life depends on it. no BS.

The DNC has never had it so good. Good ole George Orwell has the right of things. Those who control the present, control the past, and those who control the past do indeed control the future.

"No, no, no," cries the head of the DNC, "we can't afford this contest to continue unabated for the next 4 months," all the while the DNC is reaping the benefits of millions of newly registered dems as a point of profit for the fall.

Gotta luv this stuff
