Hardly because I doubt any conservatives pay much attention to the NYT.

Well, those people would already have been voting for McCain over Obama/Clinton, so they wouldn't figure in a recent change. He's only pulled ahead of either since the article was published, I think he picked up a lot of swing voters there.

McCain has consistently held a modest lead over Clinton but he moved ahead of Obama only after publication of the controversial New York Times article last week

Polls stand for what people think ...

Votes count for what people thought ...

I thought New England was going to win too ...

What do Polls know anyway ... Polish people don't know anything :rotfl:

Sorry polak ... I just had to do it.

Seriously speaking presidential hopeful Barack Obama has a lot of support from the young people.
All kinds of people are turning out for these primaries in every state like never before.

Twice as many democrats are voting than the republicans ...

It has been reported that in years past when it comes down to the actual election day the young people don't vote in massive amounts
like the middle age and seniors do.

It's almost like it has been predestined for Obama to run and win the office of the President of the United States,
besides where he is going to go if he loses?

2012 would be his for sure even if he loses to McCain ...

That is probably true. The democrat race is way more polorized than the repub race so I don't think there is as much concern as to who gets the nomination on the repub side. On the democrats side however, I swear they are going to start pulling maching guns out soon and take each other down.

Back to the Senate where maybe he can start showing what he is really made of - then people might get an idea of what to expect if he actually won in 2012.

Just from memory write down everything Obama stands for and then write down everything McCain stands for ... no google.

My memory banks can't remember Mr Obama being for anything besides a medical plan
that will help our country have better health for the people that would vote for him.

Plus the little comment in one primary where he wants to get all of the rouge nations together and have a little talk
with their leaders without any pre-conditions.

He is anti-USA in Iraq and that's about all I get from six months of watching him.

Mr McCain on the other hand has a clear record of what he is for and what he is against ...

Yeah - they keep throwing the Canadian health care system in our faces as examples. I have family up there. Takes them 6 months to see a primary care doctor. Seems your cold will be over in that amount of time. For an Uncles knee surgery, he is praying he gets in there within a couple years to have it done, but it will probably take him 3 years to get that surgery. His only option is to come across the border and have it done in the US of A.

Nice. This countries health care system is not screwed up. The people who are uninsured are ones who have chosen to be uninsured. They make enough money to afford it but choose not to. Everyone else is on welfare and gets health care from the state already.

Plus the little comment in one primary where he wants to get all of the rouge nations together and have a little talk
with their leaders without any pre-conditions.

Crazy. THis is a sign of weakness to their misbehaving. Clearly he needs more foriegn policy training. The best way to difuse a terrorist is to ignore him and not give him, his platform to speak his rhetoric. He then goes home in shame since no one is listening.

He is anti-USA in Iraq and that's about all I get from six months of watching him.

I'm anti USA in Iraq too, but refuse to leave them to their own devices till they can take care of themselves.

You can see it in his votes. Of course, I hate some of his ideas - amnesty for illegals. Crazy.

Anyway, I don't like McCain either, but at least he isn't purely Socialist/Communist - just semi.

More related to the lack or resources than the system itself . There was not really much prudent planning with regards to work-force labor shortages, thus this has created problems within the system.

It's not perfect by any means, but nonetheless it was provided this Canadian Citizen with adequate care throughout the years. Could it be applied to the US, I am not even going to go there, just the sheer size of the US as compared to Canada would cause some major headaches, both cost wise and also how it would be applied.
