1. Obama is weak and naïve on foreign affairs. Americans understand that there are evil forces in the world that want to destroy us and our way of life. When it comes to protecting America, especially, Americans want the president of the United States to have courage and show resolve.

A: I don't care about this, I would rather sit low for a couple of years on foreign affairs. Not saying anything worries people.

2. Obama’s proposed tax policies will cripple the economy. History has shown that tax cuts (across the board) boost the economy because cuts put extra cash in the pockets of working Americans, and when that happens people spend, invest, and build, all beneficial components of a strong economy.

A: This is why is he isn’t getting my vote!

3. Obama is wrong on energy policy. At a rate of 70%, Americans support off shore oil drilling. Americans want drilling for the obvious reasons that we need to heat our homes, and drive our cars, but also because it makes sense to exploit our own resources instead of paying for oil elsewhere. There is a way to accomplish this goal without losing sight that alternate forms of energy is the way of the future.

A: Don’t care about this, the dollar will take care of this, as it should.

4. Obama’s abortion policies are too radical. Obama cannot hide from his record, when in 2003 as chairman of an Illinois state Senate committee, he “voted down a bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion – even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language, copied from a federal bill passed by Congress without objection in 2002.” [Emphasis added] Obama’s relentless support of liberal abortion laws, regardless of the consequences, puts him at odds with most Americans.

A: When I meet my maker, I don’t have to worry about myself or wife on this subject. Others might need to, but that is their decision. If it were up to me, all abortion would be abolished, but it isn’t.

5. Obama’s curious associations leaves much to be desired. The following is a short list of Obama’s curious associations: Liberation theology Pastor Jeremiah Wright; Convicted felon Tony Rezco; American traitor William Ayers; Terrorist sympathizers Code Pink.

A: Another reason not to vote for him. Had any other candidate has a political afflication with the KKK, they would be toast. Those guys are no better than the KKK, fruit cakes if you ask me.

6. Immigration, I do what something done about it. Security trumps everything else. I don’t want to wake up and hear that New York had several nukes level it. I want to know whats Obama’s policy on this matter.

McCain (notice how this is the first time he's been mentioned) is no different than Kerry.

Dems were not fired up about Kerry - they just wanted to vote against Bush.

Can't win that way.

Dems are enthusiastic about Obama. They'll come out in droves.

Nobody is enthusiastic about the old man.

I suggest you spend more time building your candidate up rather than trying to tear Obama down. I understand there are still rooms available in Minneapolis.

They already have!
Record primary turnout. Record turnout among many demographics.

People who turn out for primaries are a lock to turn out for the general.

Obama's organization on the ground is unprecedented in US political history - assuring record turnout.

They also contribute in record numbers - doubling McCain's take. And Obama is getting it from individuals while McCain gets his from special interests.

Rumor has it Biden looks like Obama's VP, he's even more Partisan than Obama. So much for Bi-Partisan cooperation in government.

The people that voted for Obama in the primary were all hyped up because he is the frist black man to run, Now that they know he stands for nothing
they will not vote for him. A primary is just that a primary you can vote for whoever you want in the election. Like I have said before only votes count.
The record turn out will be for McCain.

my guess is these are all false...

obama has been right on foreign policy from the getgo. bush and mccain? consistently wrong. i dont know how guys think youre right after being wrong time and time again, for years. obamas tax policies will help families instead of rich people that dont need the cuts. tax cuts during a time of war are absurd. if they were really the cure all you guys claim it is, it wouldnt even be up for debate -- plus, look at where bush has left us. obama isnt wrong on energy, you just want to believe mccain knows what hes talking about -- he doesnt. obamas abortion policies are just fine. and his associations are fine, too. ayers and rezco are sensationalized, and there is nothing wrong with liberation theology.

Wow, nice. If I had more patience with the "me hatee Obama" crowd, I would have tried to post something similiar.

How odd that I didn't see anything about new voter registration in the OP.

G.O.P. Drops in Voting Rolls in Many States

Well before Senators Barack Obama and John McCain rose to the top of their parties, a partisan shift was under way at the local and state level. For more than three years starting in 2005, there has been a reduction in the number of voters who register with the Republican Party and a rise among voters who affiliate with Democrats and, almost as often, with no party at all.

While the implications of the changing landscape for Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain are far from clear, voting experts say the registration numbers may signal the beginning of a move away from Republicans that could affect local, state and national politics over several election cycles. Already, there has been a sharp reversal for Republicans in many statehouses and governors’ mansions.

In several states, including the traditional battlegrounds of Nevada and Iowa, Democrats have surprised their own party officials with significant gains in registration. In both of those states, there are now more registered Democrats than Republicans, a flip from 2004. No states have switched to the Republicans over the same period, according to data from 26 of the 29 states in which voters register by party. (Three of the states did not have complete data.)

In six states, including Iowa, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, the Democratic piece of the registration pie grew more than three percentage points, while the Republican share declined. In only three states — Kentucky, Louisiana and Oklahoma — did Republican registration rise while Democratic registration fell, but the Republican increase was less than a percentage point in Kentucky and Oklahoma. Louisiana was the only state to register a gain of more than one percentage point for Republicans as Democratic numbers declined.

In the primaries that you had to choose democrat or republican I did not vote.
That is my business and no one elses I have a feeling that many people did not vote for that same reason because this year we did not have to choose a party.
