Comments on: For McCain, the numbers aren't adding up http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/03/for-mccain-the-numbers-arent-adding-up/ Tue, 22 Dec 2009 04:00:12 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Ursula http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/03/for-mccain-the-numbers-arent-adding-up/comment-page-1/#comment-443630 Ursula Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:50:20 +0000 http://cnnac360.wordpress.com/?p=15002#comment-443630 What are white American conservatives really afraid of? If Barack Obama wins tommorrow given the fact that he's half black/half white will that somehow cause you to feel inferior? Will you become afraid that little black boys and girls will finally believe that they can do anything? Will black America began to truly believe that this land is our land? I suspect that all of the above is true and if so, welcome to our world! Honestly, I believe your fears have less to do with politics and more to do with the fact that this will be the last obstacle that black Americans have to overcome. People like you hated Jackie Robinson but sports as we know it would not be same had he not paved the way. I think it's awful that you would rather have a president that's so old that he can't remember the name of the person that's he speaking to and a vice president that can't even run her household let alone a nation than to have a bright, intelligent man whose only real crime is that he's black. If this is true go ahead and tear up your ticket to heaven because Jesus has dark skin too! What are white American conservatives really afraid of?

Is he trying to inspire his supporters or does he know the "fix" is in? People like Rove cut their teeth on cheating, lying & conniving. They aren't going to roll over and allow some 1 term Sen. to remove them from power. McCain camp talks how the polls are wrong. Is he trying to inspire his supporters or does he know the "fix" is in?

In fact only one poll had it just about right and it wasn't any that you all use here. The TIPP poll was the closest in 2004, CNN, AOL, and even Gallup were way off. So what makes you think you have it right now? TIPP has the race at only a 2.1 spread. Cindy...Ga. Mark,

There are many voters out there who can see past the hype that the mainstream media tries to put out there about Obama. All you have to do is listen to the words that Obama says and not what you want to hear. For example, when referring to Ayers, Obama said "I do not talk to him on a regular basis, he is not part of my campaign and he does not advise me on my campaign'. If you paid attention, he said he does not talk to Ayers on a regular basis but he still talks to him. There are many instances, if you listen closely, he double talks, and unless you are an astute listener you will miss these remarks. I predict that McCain will take MI, OH, FL, and PA.

And leadership? America has the most grueling, comprehensive and most revealing, leader hiring process in the world. The primaries – the pre job interview, and the presidential election – the final interview, have revealed your two candidates in leadership roles. McCain has been positively embarrassing in his leadership of his campaigns. Obama has rewritten the campaign text book and has shown outstanding leadership. Will America’s wisdom match its power on election day? I fear not. God help America, God help the world!
