Is Obama's opposition to legal protection even for infants who are born alive part of his "southern strategy?" Obama is wasting time in Georgia. They know he is not WRIGHT for America! www.notwrightforamerica.com

The best bet Obama has in the south will be his Welfare Queen base. He had better get into the projects and promote bigger government and more handouts for those who choose not to work. It would be to his benefit to hint at reparations again too...... That gets them cheering. Just make false promises of Hope & Change. In reality, he wants them kept where they are. Beholden and depending on that monthly government check - which guarantees a Democrat vote. A person on the public dole will vote the Democrat ticket for a pay raise. It was an ingenious LBJ idea......kept them down, keep them in welfare bondage, keep them Democrat. Obama has done well to convince blacks that he is one of them ... in spite of the fact that had a white mother, was raised by a white grandmother and went to white schools. To learn how to be black, Obama tutored for 20 years with Rev. Wright. Rev. Wight had the right idea too. Rant and rave to his flock about how rotten American is and then go build yourself a $10 million dollar house next to a golf course in a white neighborhood. Ha-ha-ha. The sheep bought his message. Now they can Google Images and see the house for themselves. Yelling "G.D. America" can make you rich. People like Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas are true American leaders. Obama and Wright are total frauds.

I was at the Leadership training in Suwanee, GA this weekend. It was the most motivating event I've ever been to in my life. It was a blend of finding the strong emotions behind your passion for being a part of this campaign and the most brilliant strategic plan. We are going to spread like wildfire through this state. We can win Georgia! It is very do-able!

The mechanism that dooms the Negro candidate’s chances to win such a state-wide race is that the Negro candidate’s stimulation of much higher than normal percent of Negro voter turnout in support of his candidacy always stimulates a higher white percent of voter turnout in opposition to his (Negro) candidacy. And since the white voter base is larger than the Negro voter base (usually by at least 2 – 1), a smaller percent increase in white turnout in opposition to the Negro candidate always overmatches the much larger percent of increase in Negro voter turnout. The result is that the Negro candidate can come close, but never wins the general election in a border or southern state. The Democratic Party has met this situation in two ways. First, regardless of the state’s political geography (Deep South, southwestern, or boarder state), it confines its offering of Negro and minority candidates to electorates that are guaranteed to be majority - minority (i.e., Negro, Hispanic, etc.). Second, the Party’s white candidates tailor their campaigns to the state’s general election electorate in ways that do not trigger the “white backlash” of anti-Negro/anti-minority voting by the majority white electorate. In this way the white Democrat can keep his white support in the high thirty to low forty percent of the total white vote; and combine this with a “silent” high percentage Negro turnout (which is Negro turnout at or near its theoretical maximum percent of the total voting electorate), which gives the white Democrat the fifty-one to fifty-seven percent of the total vote; thereby winning the state-wide election. Thus far in the post Voting Rights Act period, no other formula has been found, applied, and found to be successful, for a Democrat, much less a Negro Democrat to win a state-wide election in a boarder state or a southern state. And without even a formula for winning the boarder or the southern states there is no legitimacy to a candidates attempt to win a general presidential election. Nether the Democratic Party or Senator Obama’s campaign has thus far offered a theory, or a formula which replaces the one just described.

To make every vote in every state politically relevant and equal in presidential elections, support the National Popular Vote bill. The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC). The bill would take effect only when enacted by states possessing a majority of the electoral votes (270 of 538). When the bill comes into effect, all the electoral votes from those states would be awarded to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC). The National Popular Vote bill has been approved by 21 legislative chambers (one house in CO, AR, ME, NC, and WA, and two houses in MD, IL, HI, CA, MA, NJ, RI, and VT). It has been enacted into law in Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, and Maryland. These states have 50 (19%) of the 270 electoral votes needed to bring this legislation into effect. see http://www.NationalPopularVote.com susan

Obama's Southern strategy is the same as his strategy in other places. Find out what is important to voters in that area and lie to them, tell them what they want to hear. No matter where he goes and what he says, he cannot outrun the fact that he voted against babies receiving medical care if they survived an abortion. What a great Christian!!

Hey, off the subject, has anyone else noticed Barack Hussein Obama's resemblance to Richard Milhaus Nixon? Really, take a close look at the face. Although I eventually came around to liking Nixon, it's hard to imagine that with this fellow. Of course, one's face has absolutely nothing to do with one's fortune. Or, maybe it does.

B. Hussein Obama could bring in 10,000 workers to Georgia to get out the black vote and it still wouldn't matter. The reality is, as re115shepherd points out below, the white vote outnumbers the black vote, which is the way it is throughout the South. Georgia now votes Republican and is going to stay that way, as will the rest of the South, which has never voted for a liberal Dimocrat candidate in American history. Fifty thousand workers throughout the South couldn't help a totally discredited candidate --- a candidate who is for bigger government, higher taxes, more welfare state, and has no experience except as a "community organizer" in the most corrupt city in the U.S., lacks judgment, and has had to change his stand on every issue he's confronted. Obama's campaign comes down to a simple 4-letter word: Joke.
