Obama Is A Sure Loser In November
David Oatney has written on this subject, as have many others. The fact is, when you look at the states Obama has won and lost and the demographic statistics of those that voted for and against him, you see that Obama has absolutely no chance of winning in November. The eventual Democratic nominee did not need to lose Ohio like he did and he doesn’t need to be this far behind in Florida. The Democratic Party is fractured and the party leaders know it. Most white working class voters, especially white men are not going to vote for Mr. Obama in the fall. Believe it or not, those people aren’t too fond of somebody who associates themselves with a preacher that screams “God Damn America” in the pulpit. All Obama has in his mini-coalition are white people who think they are better than everybody else, and black people. McCain on the other hand, always a favorite of center left Democrats and independents, and a war hero, is looking mighty good to those average working class honkeys right now. As for the war, well get ready to see just how far down that issue is to most voters.
Oatney is well known for his beliefs in the supernatural.
Wow, Rush Limbaugh predicts Obama has no chance? Must be true!!
ROFLMAO
A day of politcal time is like a year of real time. Obviously you guys know that, not only does Obama have a shot, he arguably will be the favorite, and you are freaking out.
Your assessment of a hopelessly fractured Democratic party may not be so clear when Mrs. Clinton starts campaigning for Obama. And she will, because she knows if Obama loses she will get blamed and her career will be over.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I think it’s very brave for Glen to go on the record with this bold, counterintuitive predictions… which is why I’ve saved this to post again and again in November. And December… and…

heh
Such small leads for Obama, considering the overwhelming press bias for him and near-constant exposure for the past 4 months.
History shows Republicans gain when heading into November. If this is the case, Obama’s going to get stomped come election day. And then we can expect Al Shaprton to come out on Wednesday and proclaim that the country is purely racist.
Guys, use your brains here. The only Democratic candidates that have won presidential elections in the last forty years have been white, southern, governors, and evangelical protestants, both Southern Baptists. Every time the Democrat Party runs somebody different, they lose, and they lose big. 2004 was a Democrat year, but the party, which has been taken over by the far left, nominated a far left Senator from the freaking northeast. Here we are in another Democrat year, and Obama, the most liberal member of the Senate, more liberal than the only Socialist, and not from the south, not white, not a governor, is the nominee. What a bunch of dumbasses you Democrats are. It is amazing to watch.
The Rev Wright thing and Obama’s association with a left wing terrorist hurt him in the late stages of the Dem Primary only a little bit, but just wait until the Republicans get ahold of that stuff. This guy is easy. He is currently way behind in both Florida and Ohio. In fact, show me one state that Kerry did not win in 2004, that Obama will win in 2008. Dumbasses, all of you. Thankfully.
William, rewind to 1988 in May.
Yeah William, heh!
heh, you ain’t seen nothin’. We don’t even have a candidate yet.
Clinton is beating McCain in both FL and OH right now, where do you think those voters will go, genius?
Good points Glen, but the GOP has got a lot more to overcome this time around, and you know it. For example the top issues, the economy, Iraq, and healthcare are not sizing up in such a way that is favorable to incumbents. Also, Obama is not just a typical candidate; he is the leader of a movement that is bringing new blood into the process.
Republicans might be able to swiftboat him with the smear/scare routine, but there is a point where people will reject negative attacks, this is known.
A lot depends on what happens between now and Election Day. Things can change. But I know this, Obama is way more charismatic and articulate than McCain, and that will be a big problem for him if enough voters are feeling the pain as Election Day approaches.
Also, Obama has a tremendous edge financially, which is an important contrast to the previous scenarios you have described.
It will be interesting, but I do know this: I don’t think you will find any credible political analysts of any stripe referring to Obama as “a sure loser”. Arguably, assertions of that nature deserve to be ridiculed with references to crack dealers and so forth.
Comparing 1988 with 2008 is bogus. In 1988, 56% felt America was headed in the right direction. Now? 15%
So Glen, hows it feel to be one of the oblivious 15%?
You folks give this facile drivel too much credit by responding with comments. It’s like trying to call in to a conservative talk radio show. What’s the point?
Oh dear, what will we ever do?
William the Apathetic former, now the Shrill latter, now quotes the poll I showed him two days ago.
A 2.9 % lead for Obama over McCain and William says it is over.
I am concerned about the mental health of some of the folks that blog here.
What will you do if your fantasies do not come true?
Move to Canada or France?

We know you won’t — you’ll stay here in the hopes of one day being able to pay 38% in federal income tax.
