They are also on the verge of losing the ONLY GOP seat in NYC which has been in GOP hands for 28 years. The current Congressman Vito Fossella was just arrested for DWI, admitted to having an affair, and having a 3 year old child from that affair. The Democrats were already targeting his seat with weaker opposition but now the pressure is on Democratic electeds to run as Fossella is telling people he will be running for re-election.

McSame promises 4 MORE YEARS of GWB economic failures.

MCSame promises 100 more years of WAR.

McSame promises 4 more years of GWB.

McSame and the GOP do not even stand a chance against ANY dem this year.

Barack Obama wins the election this fall...

The People start to see a return to sanity in their Federal Government Institutions...

Blame Representative Tom Cole for being unable to get people elected who directly contributed to the last 7+ years of incompetence and corruption? Please.
The Republicans in the House went along to get along and took as much of our tax payer money AND raised our national debt to give nice big plums to big campaign donors, all the while entirely IGNORING the general welfare and their Constitutional duty of oversight of the executive branch.

Combine this with the multiple indictments of former White House officials, Congressmen, and Republican staffers as well as some fairly salacious scandals (that conflict completely with the Family Values' proclaimed by the GOP) and you have disaster.

Don't blame Congressman Tom Cole -- do blame yourselves.

Hillary Supporters:
In the spirit of unity, I will not bring up any of Hillary's well documented deficiencies.
McCain just had two of his campaign workers (lobbyists), exposed for being associated with the military junta in Burma. He slept with a lobbyist!!! He was complicit and integrally involved in the Keating 5 fraud case.
He has been documented that the Iraq war was fought for oil. He does not know the difference between the Sunni's and Shiites. He has stated that the economy is not his strong suit; he needed to read Greenspan's book. His wife is a former drug addict and and drug criminal. She refuses to release her tax returns, even though he routinely flies her private jet in violation of the MCCAIN-FEINGOLD campaign finance laws.
His right wing evangelical who he ACTIVELY courted for support stated that Catholicism was a "Whore religion". This wacky pastor stated Hurricane Katrina occurred as a punishment for New Orleans' gays and Blacks.
He has stated that he will appoint more right wing zealots (possibly 3) to the Supreme Court, thereby reversing Roe v. Wade.
His economic policies will result in an additional 4 TRILLION dollar deficit:
http://taxvox.taxpolicycenter.org/blog/_archives/2008/4/17/3644448.html
Before the Clinton or McCain supporters vote for this veritable waste of a candidate you should see this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y395Tftgz0E
Finally, there is a group of Vietnam vets who aren't exactly enamored with McCain either:
http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/index.htm

So before you try the divisive argument about not voting for Obama as a "protest vote" or that McCain has more "Experience" or is more "honorable", or is the lesser of two evils, or any other reason; think of the future of this country. If you put America above your biases, Obama is the only logical choice.

(omitting FL and MI)

There are only 424.5 available delegates (189 of which are elected) remaining to get to 2025

BHO needs 145 or 34.2% of the total remaining delegates
HRC needs 306.5 or 72.2% of the total remaining delegates

IF you count FL (as is) and MI (as proposed)

There are still only 424.5 available delegates remaining to get to 2209

BHO needs 201 or 47.3% of the total remaining delegates
HRC needs 317.5 or 74.8% of the total remaining delegates

IF you count FL (as is) and skip MI

There are still only 424.5 available delegates remaining to get to 2130

BHO needs 181 or 42.6% of the total remaining delegates
HRC needs 307.5 or 72.4% of the total remaining delegates

Oh gosh...The GOP 'brand' is about as popular as Chinese toothpaste these days. And you guys said Obama was too far 'left' to have coat tails...boy you MSM guys look funny when Obama proves time and time again he can when told he can not. The General will prove this to be true as well. Oh by the way those GOPer's know damn well what's beneath that floor but not to worry we will be sure to send the ice water.

Insisting and declaiming loudly is no substitute for the truth. Did the GOP really think that the American people were a bunch of idiots? A better and more immediate question is whether the Democrats will make the same mistake. Beyond that, much will depend on whether the American people remain interested in the political process. The GOP overplayed a sorry hand.

The reason you are below the floor is the war with no end. Failure support troops once they found Osama Bin Laden and an overall disrespect for rank and file Republicans. If you want to see what your future looks like take a look at the Chicago/Cook County Republican party. They have over 100 delegate vacancies going into the state convention and will not allow anyone to participate that doesn't support the City or County Chairman. Here is some advice, change the name of the party to the Nazi party. You'll get more votes.

Sick of corruption, sick of the Clintons — Wed, 14 May 2008 17:03:52 GMT

I wonder if Hillary Clinton supporters ever get tired of being wrong. This is three straight times that a Democrat has won a seat in a heavily Republican district. It started in my home state of Illinois, when Bill Foster beat Jim Oberweis in Hastert's district. Obama campaigned for Foster. Hillary Clinton did not, because she was not asked. Oberweis made Obama an issue in the campaign, trying to link him to Foster. Foster won the seat by a large margin.

Now we have the Mississippi race, where another Republican trys to tie Obama to his opponent. Same result.

Not only will Obama win the nomination, he will also beat McCain in November. Hillary supporters are trying to use "the rules" to explain why Obama cannot do it. What they do not seem to understand is this: Obama is changing the rules.

Obama/Anyone but Hillary Clinton in 2008. Integrity matters and the Clintons have none.

It doesn't much matter if Democrats gain seats by adopting Republican viewpoints and standards. That leaves no one to fight for the other 50% of the country who strongly and clearly disagree with their tired old viewpoints and rhetoric! What is the sense in having two parties if they both represent the same point of view?"

Make sure you tell the whole truth MSNBC. The Democrat that won in Mississippi ran on a gun rights, anti-abortion platform. He merely out-Conservatived the RINO. As the GOP tried for the "big-tent party" which has been a failure the Democrats are falling in the same trap. Most people don't care whether there's a D or R by their name as long as they get the job but what will happen, as with the R's, the D's will run into their leadership roadblocks.

Rasmussen Reports has acknowledged what objective voter already know: Barack Obama will indeed be the Democratic nominee for President in 2008.

Per Rasmussen Reports...

"Rasmussen Reports will soon end our daily tracking of the Democratic race and focus exclusively on the general election competition between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama. Barring something totally unforeseen, that is the choice American voters will have before them in November. While we have not firmly decided upon a final day for tracking the Democratic race, it is coming soon."
