I'm permitted to reference a valid poll that demonstrates Obama's free fall. . . .
The Democratic National Committee decided long ago which states votes did not count. In fact we should all have a major issue with the DNC for the whole primary calendar. If they are upset that it is still going did they not want North Carolina, Indiana etc to have any impact on the nomination? Did they want it decided before Pennsylvania? There is much for us to disagree on but don't we all think it is cynical for both parties to have primaries in May and also be upset that they matter?

Your fear of Obama is palpable. He's now continuously under the microscope because he's the presumptive nominee. The press knows it. That's why any mentions of Hillary are brief and buried in the middle of newscasts these days.

Bring on the Obama/McCain debates!

McCain would need a meltdown to lose to Obama. Hillary is an infinitely more difficult foe when you look at states and the electoral college.

Actually my real fear is that Hillary is looking more and more as the nominee. Two weeks ago, 10%. Today 40% chance. If she continues to close in on Obama in NC she goes over 50/50. This isn't as amusing as even a week ago

I can't speak for the whole state but Hillary has really picked up steam around the Charlotte area.
*Barak Hussein Obama's one rally here fell short of predicted turnout and was about 90% black. He hasn'tg been seen here since.
*Michelle made 2 stops in the area and wouldn't answer reporters questions. She got virtually no coverage as a result.
*President Bill Clinton has been in the area twice drawing huge crowds each time. *Hillary has made two visits to the area. One was a tremendous rally downtown featuring leaders from the black and Asian communities and another big turnout in a suburban setting. In addition she has been on TV answering questions and courageously stating her position on the issues.
*Chelsea will be hosting a youth rally this weekend with several bands

For some reason Obama is not campaigning very much around Charlotte. he has been to Winston-Salem and Wilmington recently. He spent 2 days in and around Fort Bragg. You would think that having former SC Gov. Hodges on his staff Obama would have some knowledge of the demographics here. His campaign stratagy leaves most politicos scratching their heads. Then again Hodges was never one of the brightest lights in the hall.

PPP typically polls significantly higher for Obama than others but in just the past week he has gone from a PPP spread of +25 over Hillary to +12. In one week his lead cut in half. . . I don't recall seeing such a swing like this for any candidate this year. . . if ever.


RealClearPolitics - Election 2008 - North Carolina Democratic Primary

Average has Obama at +12.3 and trending steadily downward. Indiana numbers don't appear to be fresh but signs that this state is also shifting significantly toward Hillary.

Should Obama drop out? Hang on!
I had to resurrect this post which proves NEVER believe polls. They were WAY OFF BASE this time since Obama crushed Hillary in North Carolina, not to mention Indiana which is still being tallied as I write this post which may be a tie. Now thats incredible and not some stupid poll about how Obama tanking. Oops, I guess they "misspoke". What you should be asking yourself NOW is should Hillary drop out? I think YES!!!!!!!!!
