this is a duplicate of an earlier post but I wanted to try to be sure you got it, you might find it important.

Did you check out the claims of the email against snopes.com or factcheck.org?

It's very likely you're in receipt of a propaganda email the intent of which is to take pieces of his books out of context in order to mislead you into being afraid. Don't be fooled.

Just only go back at last 12 years and study how these things work. These elections are decided 100 percent trust, patriotism, love for country and ability to relate to people in the heart of America. Anyone who thinks Obama can will is either delusional, young, or out of touch with middle America. It is middle America that decides elections and some people actually think they will vote against a veteran! That is not the way America thinks. I can not be any clearer than this.
Not only is it likely that Obama will be elected, it is likely he will be elected in a landslide.

What a bizarre mindset you have.

Oh, and since you've decided that all of urban america, even midwestern urban america isn't part of your middle/midwestern america, kindly tell me what the hell 'middle america' even means. I thought it was a reference to the geographic 'middle of the US'.

Finally, while you mock LML for misunderstanding your post, your are steadfast in your derision of an entire region of the US based on your interaction with one person and some stuff you read on the internet, I find that interesting indeed (if not a bit sad).
Middle America are those people who are middle of the road in their thinking. That would be me and that you think the way I think is bizarre, just proves my point. I guess the election will prove which of us is right. I think McCain will be our next president. Whoopee!

If the election was tomorrow Obama would lose.
This point is it's laughable to witness these people living in these dream worlds who actually think Obama has a chance. The man has no chance. He is not American enough. McCain might even win in a landslide.

You are talking about the United States of America right?

I don't know about tomorrow or about a landslide, but I think you are right that McCain will be the person elected president of these United States of America. I also think he will be a very good choice for the voters. I look forward to seeing what a wonderful First Lady Cindy McCain makes for us.

Please tell me what you are smoking, cause that is some strong stuff!

I don't know if you noticed the results from the primaries, but the Dems have significantly outnumbered the Reps in EVERY single contest, the Reps should really be concerned about that fact. 37 something million Dems voted in the primaries compared to barely 20 million or so Republicans.

From my standpoint, it's the Republicans who should be sweating this year. Oh and please don't use the Hillary excuse, the vast majority of her supporters are going for Obama this November.

Living in LA you are out of touch with America. Lived there for a few years and it's a bit wacky. Lived all around the country and Obama is a no-go.
Again, Obama will not be elected simply due to his statements and actions, past associates, etc etc.

Instead of deciding to categorize what I think - read what I write.

RE: Emails, read his books. I just received an email that says I won $16,000,000.00 from a guy in Nigeria who's friend died in a plane crash. Sheesh

Whoever gets elected will be blamed when we hit Great Depression part II. Obama better hope that he loses.
