Default Zogby Poll on Independents: Obama 48%/McCain 32%; Barr hurts McCain among GOP

Further evidence that Appalachia is not representative of the whole country.

here we go....you and your "appalachia" comment taking another swipe at rural white people. Since Obama fans like to play the race card, I take your comment as racism.

Anyways, I hardly think that poll is unbiased, since I see the term "progressive politics" in there, which is another word for the extreme fringe of the left wing.

Mark my works, with Obama as the nominee, McCain will be President.

Excuse me,
Obama gets mollywopped in WV and KY and we're supposed to be read that as a huge setback?

Oregon proved that to be a myth.

Im not commenting on whites at all, just that that part of the country is not indicative of the whole nation. Am I wrong?

No need to get overly sensitive.

I have seen so many polls that say oposite things that I give up on them being accurate.

Default I Do Not Go By Polls Although I Enjoy Setting Them Up

I do not go by polls. I'm one, proud Independent, who will not be voting for Barack Hussein Obama for many reasons. However, not one reason is because he is black. The fact that he is a closet-racist is one though. Barack Hussein Obama's connections to terrorists is my biggest reason not to vote for him. Obama's willingness to appease terrorists just underlines it...
I still hope that McCain chooses Condi Rice for his vice-president choice. I'd proudly vote for her for president, if I had the chance.

If he's a closet racist, how did you know about it? Are you a mind reader or something?
