There is one problem with your analysis. The rhetoric and false marketing can only work for liberals because the media would not let a conservative get away with such BS. Also, young uneducated people with little to no knowledge of political history are more likely to fall for it, whereas wiser voters that have been around this block a few times know that rhetoric is just a cheap trick and that the record is where all the substance lies.


In other words, Obama will be a phony if that is what it takes for people to want him!

If Obama was a conservative candidate with the same marketing and a radical right voting record, do you think that would fly with the media?

Besides, I don't want an inauthentic candidate, which is exactly what Obama is. McCain is about as authentic as you can expect out of a politician.

His name does not matter to me however, in the begining his full name was being used it didn't take long for that to end and the only way you heard his name was barack obama, was this done because his campaign managers wanted to distance him from the negative conotations the american people may associate with the name hussein when they are going to the polls.

as for his approval rating in Chicago I'll quote an article written by Ramison Canon, " Latino voters flexed their muscle in a unique way on super tuesday. Barack Obama did not win a single Latino ward in Chicago, particularly the maxican wards on the South and South West sides." Now, I'm not sure what the exact numbers are but i think this should give you an idea. You can find the article at http://www.gapersblock.com/airbags/a...ingobamasshoes. We hear so much negativity about McCain voting along with his party 90 percent of the time while we hear very little negative info about obama at all . I want to know everything that i can before i cast my vote no matter how good, bad,or ugly it is. They have no right to keep any information withheld from the american public .

The full name was used mostly by the opposition to do just that... associate Obama with Saddam. When that got old they started phasing it out (except for the shock value every now and then on Faux News).

Your link didn't work, sorry. But I found it (you left off the last slash) and you left out the note right behind that sentence "[Note: Thanks to commenter Josh, who correctly points out that Senator Obama did win North Side Latino-majority wards, the 26th and 35th, and wards with Latino pluralities, the 1st (Wicker Park) and 33rd. This interestingly tracks a split between Puerto Rican and Mexican-American communities. A previous draft also pointed out that Senator Obama handily won both Lake and Kane Counties. Thanks Josh!]" and the fact that he didn't lose those wards by much.


The reason McCain's 90% voting is the fact that he's attempting to run a change campaign in a year when his party controls the seat. It's hard to be a change when you agree with the sitting president so much.

Sorry to you, they won't be banned.

And, you'll be more than sorry if this pathetic fraud wins president.

Well, then he should just let them spread the lies then disprove it and he would be able to sue for defamation. I would personally let someone tie the noose around their own neck.

You have described the Obama campaign the same way I do to others. It is simply amazing to see the loyalty that this campaign has built with a base lacking any substance. More and more, Obama's campaign reminds me of the Carter campaign. Promising change from the currupt old guard, then Carter immediately filled his cabinet with the trilateral commission. I do not know who Obama will choose, but I know whom he has been affiliated with in the past.
