former aldermen and city clerks? Is that really the best you have Kasz? You might as well say the paperboy and the guy at the grocery story say they're for McCain or something.

He didn't even include several republicans in the senate who said they would be afraid of a McCain presidency because he has a nasty temper and is very impulsive.

A good example is Former senator Bob Smith, a New Hampshire Republican, who expressed worries about McCain: "His temper would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, it should disqualify him."

There are people who held offices of actual prominence who have gone the other way on this one, a lot of them. McCain would be not only a bad choice but in some ways a dangerous one.

So does Joe Biden count then?  I mean he said Barak Obama wasn't expierenced enough to be president... and said he'd be proud to run with or against McCain.

Or Hillary Clinton?  Who said, Her and McCain had plans for the country and expierence.  While all Obama has is "a nice speach."

The truth is... a larger % of democrats(10%) support McCain then Republicans(7%) do Obama. 

Considering there are more registered democrats then republicans... that's saying a lot.

It the numbers are representative that would mean

3.85 Million repubs support Obama

VS

7.2 million dems supporting McCain.

Which is the more important number.  I wouldn't be surprised if a number of repubs supported Obama do to his plans to vastly increase Bush's "Faith based spending" initative.

You get some interesting math in general if that's representative.

Obama has 3.85 Million Repubs.  + 64.8 Million Dems = 68.65

McCain has  51.15 Repubs and 7.2 Million dems. = 58.35.

They're pulling at about tied.

So independents are basicallybreaking

15.85 Million for Obama

26.15 Million for McCain.

Edit: Of course that's ignoring undecided people.  Though in such a case where the polls or even, it's fair enough to consider the undecideds breaking even.

 

 

    I would bet you anything that a lot of that 10% of democrats are the kinds of democrats in apalacia and the like who said things such as "I don't know if I'd feel safe with a bllllack man as president" TO THE CAMERA when supporting Hillary.  I mean thats powerful racist when you are actually willing to say those things on the record.  Most racists at least know enough to be ashamed these days. 

   Of course I may be underestimating the stupid vote.  By stupid vote I mean people who look at the horrific last 8 years and say "give me more of that!  I want to elect another ticket with a supply sider and a fundamentalist, its gone so well last time!"  I actually think the racist might have a little more common sense, so I hope for their sake its that Obama's black and they're irrational not that they're THAT stupid.  Irrational beliefs can be overcome, stupidity is forever.
