Sorry light....I'm no "fan" of any presidential candidate. I save that for the Phoenix Suns and Az Diamondbacks. :)

I am not sure who I will vote for, but your poll seems to be more about what will happen that what you want to happen, so I answered that Obama will win.

I think intrade has the probability at approx 60%.

I find it rather telling that poor John McCain isn't getting much love on any of the right wing talk shows, here on CW, nowhere. Sean Hannity talks about Obamawright non-stop and I think CW has set a record for the most anti-anybody threads EVER. I wonder about a party who thinks the only way their candidate has a chance is to make people afraid to vote for the other guy. So far, the GOPs whole campaign revolves around convincing people that Obamawright hates white people and hates America. It's working, considering McCain isn't a guy the GOP is really excited about and some of you have got to admit you're skerd to death of the prospect of having Hussein Farrakhan Ahab Obamawright and his evil wife, Michelle Jezebel, in the White House. Skerd enough, I believe, that some of you are praying that Hillary Clinton, the once hated Hillary, can somehow work a miracle and save us all from impending doom. I just think it's a shame because I think McCain is a real honorable guy and is the most qualified candidate, but nobody seems to care. I mean, if I claim to love my wife, but never tells her how beautiful she is but constantly talks about the "other woman", negatively or otherwise, how do you think my wife would feel?

How do you fiqure? I tried being fair in asking a whole range of questions, so no it is not my personal preferance in the questions I ask. With due respect your personal view of my post is an unfair judgement, I was wanting to know how people really felt.

I don't personally beleive the Wright thing hurts Obamessiah much because at the core of his support is the same basic elitist hatred of America. They obviously don't see much wrong with what Wright says, besides, Wright is black, from a black neighborhood in Chicago so, no one can be critical because that is racist and we just don't understand.

I think it's the exact opposite in many ways. It seems that the only thing truly African-American about Obama has to do with his skin color.

He's a bit of an elitist, but I see him as the best alternative when it comes to things I think we can influence- the federal deficit, the trade deficit, and energy.

There are lots of blacks talking about Wright. Sean Hannity had a good show on last night. He talked to a black preacher. The National Baptists have talked about it.


Some times a black person is like a white person ,

they see color and that's it...............

Thanks for the hard day pity, needed it. I feel attacked by everyone today, you know one of those days from hades. I am not gleeful in obama scandal, it saddens me, that we are divide in the Body of christ by race, something so stupid to be divided over, instead of issues I am just curious in an unoffical silly poll peoples insights, which I am teachable, so I like to see if anyone has wisdom in this case.

I think that God can be perfectly happy with you if you vote for McCain.

I think one of the problems with internet conversations is that it's sometimes hard to convey tone. As a result, it often sounds to one side or the other that the other person is taking a swipe at them. Often, we read people who disagree with us on forums as sounding angry. Perhaps politics isn't the best thing to discuss over the internet. That combined with the fact that a lot of folks online like to couch their words to convey tone, but Christians- especially when they feel their views are backed by the Bible- don't couch as much.

Maybe it is time for us all to shut down the current events forum. I'm sure I'd like ljmac and TomTurn a whole lot more- and they'd probably like me a whole lot more- if there was some sort of ban on political discussions.

Thanks blessedinnyc for making the exact point I was...BO is an elitist, and I was speaking of Wright being from Chicago, black neighborhood yada yada. But at the core of BO's support is the extreme elitist liberals and they don't care much about Rev. Wrights sermons because they don't disagree with him and wouldn't disagree with him because he preaches in a black church on the southside of Chicago and they won't speak out because, heaven forbid, they would be painted racist by their colleagues.

I don't think there's anything elitist about Barack Obama's politics, and he's no more elitist than George Bush's- he regularly has closed door sessions with lobbyists he knew from Harvard, for example.

If Obama were truly an elitist at heart, he wouldn't have spent three years as a lowly community organizer in Chicago after graduating from Columbia. If you go to a top-notch school (I didn't go to a fancy college, but I did wind up as a middle class kid at a very rich high school growing up), there is a tremendous pressure to graduate as a "success". At Columbia, that would entail getting hired at an I-Bank at the very least- if not a hedge fund or getting a job in Washington. Heck, I experienced that even at the state school I went to. He certainly could have gotten one easily if he had wanted to- he had interned in investment banking and received a job offer.

At the very least, Obama had the wisdom to cut through all of that baloney- something most college students are too naive to do (including my college self.) If he is an elitist, he is a very wise one and a very long-term one. In order for me to like you, you just have to be wiser than you are arrogant, and I think that Obama's path to the Senate shows this is the case.
