Obama's chance of winning big

BBC NEWS | Americas | US Elections 2008 | Obama's chance of winning big

After all, Democrats have elected just two American presidents since 1968, moderate white Southerners Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, both by modest popular vote margins.

In 2008 Democrats took a daring leap of faith and chose a far more liberal nominee who is the first African-American standard-bearer - no minor matter in a nation that is just 11% black and has been plagued by racial divisions since its founding.
Yet the improbable is becoming probable.
With the presidential debates completed, Obama appears to have an unobstructed path to the White House.
The polls show he won all three debates and is viewed more positively than opponent John McCain. Voters also believe Obama has the more qualified vice-presidential candidate, Joseph Biden. Sarah Palin, who once gave McCain hope for attracting a generous share of Hillary Clinton's supporters, did so poorly in a series of well-publicised media interviews that she has become a liability outside of the conservative Republican base.

Thoughts?

You bet, he should have stated that Rush, Hannity and Boortz will get a socialist elected.

Faux News controls the world!

You keep saying that.

And I keep laughing.

I hope one day this country will vote the bible and get us back to our essentials that were written into our constitution! We need morals, integrity, and family back in America. And Obama isn't going to bring any of that to the table!

I would assume you are speaking in reference to prior occurences on the board! I am neither; however, as yourself and many others in America have tried to label Obama as the Saviour it would be nice if we could all vote according to the one and only saviour JESUS CHRIST. He is the way the truth and the life!

I agree. And don't pay attention to OE. He has always worshiped at the altar of Obama.
