This is cause nobody can vote for a SEXIST PIG! Discrimination is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!!!! Discrimination should not ever be acceptable. It damages the Democracy!

Ani — great post!
I don’t think Obama’s disheartened, though. That would require him to have a heart in the first place. There’s just a big O in his chest where a heart should be.

[...] McCain ‘Gallups’ Forward, Obama Slips On His Behind (by Ani at No Quarter) Not bad for a guy without much of a platform, without much enthusiasm from the conservatives of his own party, and one who really hasn’t even bothered to start campaigning against Obama yet. This is truly shocking since Senator McCain can barely get press coverage, never mind the absolute love-fest the networks festoon upon the newbie Senator from Illinois… I must say, if I were Barack Obama, traveling around Europe with the three biggest news anchors in tow, not having to answer a single hardball question (no offense to your tingle, Chris), having people fawning over me constantly, only to come home and find out my Republican opponent – you know, the one representing the ‘brand’ damaged beyond recognition – had climbed ahead of me in the polls, I would find this very disheartening indeed. And the Republicans haven’t even gotten started on him. [...]

Age 52 here (as of yesterday) and NoBama for me! I also know MANY women 40+ who cannot stand Obambi and won’t, under any circumstances, vote for him. Dick Morris makes my skin crawl but he finally got this one right. Boomer women will decide this election and we are MANY in numbers. Hear us roar! PUMA!

Nice job, Elisa.

I’m an educated liberal male and guess what, he ain’t popping the cork on my champagne bottle either.

Now Hillary, that’s another story. She’s the one who makes sense. I want to go to the polls in November and vote for someone for a change — not ‘against’ the other guy.

I hope more university aged voters will find the courage to speak up about their true feelings now. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

They may find they have many more allies than they think.

Unfortunately, it is very true for all of us that one should never throw stones when one lives in a glass house — whether you realize you live in a glass house or not.

So much for his arrogant b.s. — ‘I can get her votes but she can’t get mine.’

I knew that comment spelled disaster the minute it came out of his mouth.

Great post. Glad to see. I just can’t think how anyone can take this man seriously. This is the Presidency, not American Idol.

Brand damaged Republicans vs. Brain damaged Democrats! Bring it on! As of today, I’m over the hill. Curmudgeon territory…female version! Good to know we old broads can still “sock it to them”!

ha! good one! Seriously though…don’t think for a moment that Jolie is a rabid supporter of Obama. Of all the Hollywood power brokers (and none may broker the power of she and her betrothed) they remain tactfully silent on this issue and for that they are to be commended! Plus, with the news that they just named Bono as god-father for the twins, methinks that there are somewhat centrist leanings alive in the Jolie-Pitt household!!!

Take care,
Patrick

And this news (the first McCain lead) comes just as the Times puts up a story which says, in effect, that Obama believes he’s now won over the HRC voters and thus doesn’t need to choose Sen. Clinton as his VP. Ah, sweet prematurity!

And, for the troll Teddy up above, who takes solace in other small Obama poll leads, remember that it’s still July — a time when every other Democratic candidate was WELL ahead of the Republican. Obama’s got problems already, and the Repugs haven’t even STARTED to throw the real stuff at him — especially his corrupt relations with Antoin Rezko.

Stay tuned Teddy.

Great imagery. I know the feeling, too!
