Default Obama wins Wisconsin

The fact that he one isn't much of a surprise, but the fact that the people who voted for him are simlar in background to Ohio would be giving nightmares to Clinton.

I looks like Obama will be running

Im happy myself, my mom said she was going to cry though because she want Clinton

I guess myself, I dont really care if Obama or Clinton gets elected, as long as its one of those two.

no matter what, we stand a chance of making history, either the first Black President, or the first Female President. and if they dont win (in which case I will be moving to Canada) at least they had a damn good chance, which no one has had before

No more rich white men as president!!

No i understand they are pretty well off, but you would think that after 232 years there would be some difference in who is Elected...to date the only one I can think of is Kennedy, who was a Roman Catholic. Hardly much of a difference in my opinion

It is not over yet. I foresee Obama getting the nomination. I foresee McCain getting his. I foresee old age and treachery winning. Obama needs more experience. Really, what has he done as a Senator? This question befuddled Obama's campaign manager on national news.

As a Canadian looking in from the outside I sure the hell hope not. I am also tired of this happening here in Canada and indeed in my home province.

The thing here RDP, we do not need a "learn on the job" candidate. This is what we will get with Obama. Hillary might know some more than Obama but I would say she knows much less then McCain. I think once the real questions are put to Obama and McCain at a debate, we will find out who has their act together. I betting on McCain.

It will be interesting AVG , both will need to play to their strengths. I think also there is the change factor, there seems to be considerable momentum regarding this in the US.

Finally to a great extent, governments bring themselves down, whoever is in opposition being the direct benefactor in the end. McCain may find himself being in the wrong place at the wrong time, no matter what, he will carry his predecessor's baggage into the election campaign. So to an extent this counters Obama's inexperience.

Grab your popcorn and pull up that footstool, it is going to be quite the show from here on in.

Have you ever judged someone in error? I have many, many times.

I'm getting to a point in my life that I don't want to continue to make these judgemental errors.

So I have resorted to discernment instead, at least that's what I'm trying to tell myself.

Take Mrs Obama for example ... the next time you see her picture, cover her face up to her eyes, now move your hand to cover just one side of her face, view both sides ... use freeze frame if you can.

View her from all angles cover eyes and just view the mouth, etc.

Now what do you see?

This is a trick I learned back in the 60's watching an old FBI tv show lol ...
no kidding they use it to discern criminals ...

Now what did you see?

I see something big stuck in her forehead ... I discern it as evil.

She is easier to read than her husband ... He is one slick polictcian.

I've never seen anyone like him.

Thing is that if you go to a church once, or a "holiday" church goer, you can consider yourself that religion sadly enough.:hmm:

I see a black woman's forehead. Did the bible code tell you something the rest of us don't know?
