Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at October 06, 2008 10:26 PM | Email ThisImagine living in a place where this type of cult would be accepted activity in a school.
I read at Drudge that the teacher was fired only after the video was released to the internet. Since I find it really hard to believe that school officials would not be aware that this was going on in the school, I can only conclude it was video release not the activity that was a problem.

Posted by: lee on October 6, 2008 10:57 PMI think it was a propaganda video for Cantwell in 2006 that featured Goldy's kid.
It's really disgusting that these people can't allow their young children to be children for that brief portion of their lives where they don't need to be aware of politics, life's difficulties, sex education, etc.
See Bidinotto's post here for many examples of these creepy Lefty child indoctrination videos.
My young kids don't even know anything about McCain or Obama, and would not recognize them if shown pictures. And that's as it should be.
Imagine these creepy lefties giving their little toddlers Obama pep talks, and telling them how Obama is going to make everything all better, etc. As if they needed to hear from Mom and Dad that everything is all wrong, which it is not. Gee that's really good parenting. It's enough to make one want to hurl.

sheeple....sheeple...sheeple.....
Posted by: lee on October 6, 2008 11:06 PMAnd what about obama's friend, Al Monsoor--who helped Obama get into Harvard, and tells blacks to "rip off the flesh of white people--God wants you to do that". Creepy! Word also needs to get out to the american people about him, too!

...in addition to the creepy cult of personality idolization of Obummer, this video highlights a child obesity problem we have in this Nation.
Tsk,tsk are you as silly as Palin?
How about MC's membership in a sixties radical right group?
I think those who throw mud have nothing worthwhile to say.
Posted by: SeattleJew on October 7, 2008 06:42 AMI have to admit the kids' behavior is pretty weird, yeah, even a little creepy. But they are just kids and this isn't in any way connected to the Obama campaign. I was even more creeped out by the video of Sarah Palin standing in her church being "blessed" by a bunch of Bible thumping wackos who believe in witchcraft. Palin really is part of the McCain campaign and implicitly endorses this nonsense.
Go figure.
Is this what Obama and his handlers have in store for America.
Posted by: Army Medic/Vet on October 7, 2008 07:10 AMHowever, you get this video and then you get news today that Barry's good buddy, Odinga, had Corsi captured and held (probably till the election) because he dared go over to Kenya to do 'research' on Odinga and Obama.
Folks, this is scary.
Then, the market drops on Monday due to Obama pushing for universal health care yesterday.
Folks, this is scary.
I showed this video to my Obama apologist cubbymate. His original thought was it was a right wing conspiracy, but after watching, he was silent the rest of the day. Oh, since clients aren't paying me, I also informed him I didn't know how long he had a job.
Posted by: swatter on October 7, 2008 07:13 AMThis video is just showing the brainwashing our schools do to support Democrats. Even my daughter who lives with her mom says Because I am a Republican I am a murderer of the enviroment. ANd when I try to point out the science facts to a 13 year old she says I lie like all Republicans. It is happening in many of the schools in this nation. We need to get the schools back to teaching and self analysist of issues. INstead of blindly follow the teacher.

But then again, you had a candidate in 2000 and 2004 that pretty much got into office because "God told him what to do". A fan video isn't worth a whole hill of beans in that comparison.
And, of course, I find Republican nutjobs that desecrate the American flag by wearing it as a jumpsuit to be far worse than this.

that means we will be in civil war of some kind..
Posted by: lee on October 7, 2008 09:28 AMObama has been supporting a Muslim take-over of Kenya. The current President was actually defeated in the free elections, but thanks to Obama and Kenyan Prime Minister Riala Odinga's Muslim connections, he was 'declared' the winner under threat of violence. OBAMA SUPPORTS THIS PRO-MUSLIM TYRANT who has been less than forthcoming about his support for Sharia Law, which will turn Kenya into a brand new MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALIST STATE! With Obama's blessing, this guy has threatened ethnic violence and promised his Muslim supporters he's 'their guy' when he wins. Well, he won - with a lot of money and support from BARACK OBAMA. Odinga now is trying to silence the World Net Daily's reporter Jerome Corsi on this, and has actually detained him in Kenya! I wonder if Barack Obama will 'allow' Corsi to be released. See where this is headed? 'President Obama in bed with Muslim dictator of Kenya'? Maybe not the 51st state, but I'm sure Obama will be bringing Kenyan's here by the thousands to become part of his loyal 'civil militia' supported with YOUR tax dollars.
Tell me Obama isn't a closet Muslim. Go ahead. I'll call you a LIAR! HERE IS THE PROOF! Obama is the biggest fraud EVER in US Politics. He is lying about his connections to terrorist William Ayers, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6955197866782469963&ei=wYzrSO_HNqfYqAPoi82NCw&q=William+Ayers&vt=lf&hl=enhe's lying about his loyalty to Rev. Jeramiah Wright, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M-kD0QdRJk and he's lying about his support for US Muslim extremist Louis Farrakhan; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWxNeGOXSoA.
Now he promises to bring Kenyan-style politics to the USA. Disagree with Obama, end up in JAIL! It's coming folks - MARK MY WORDS. Obama will crush dissent. First chance he gets, he's going to kill conservative talk radio. Good-by Rush, Hannity, Savage, Engraham, Lavin, EVERYONE. GONE!
The Lamestream Media has silenced all criticism of Obama, and hidden the truth from the American People. NBC is TOTALLY in the Obama camp, and continues to attack anyone and everyone who raises questions about Obama's ties to these extremists! It's absolutely incredible. I didn't think it was possible in the United States of America that this kind of fraud could be perpetrated on the public, but I was wrong. The Keith Olbermans and Chris Matthews' of the industry have so far - successfully hidden the TRUTH about Obama from the public while ridiculing, distorting, and unfairly criticizing McCain/Palin.
I now believe our Democracy has slipped away from us. The far left in this country has so indoctrinated our children for so many years to think like liberals, we are no longer capable of free thought and objectivism. Good-by America. You were once a great place. I don't know what the future holds for us.
Obama, Ayers, Wright, ACORNholes, etc., are, and have been, engaged in espionage against the United States of America and are, ipso facto, considered illegal combatants, i.e., Outlaws, under the Law of Armed Conflict. As Outlaws they have no Constitutional rights and fall under the jurisdiction of military tribunals, e.g., at Gitmo. Traditionally, Outlaws have been spies, saboteurs, and espionage agents. The penalties have been indeterminate prison sentences or death.
Obama and his insurgents are grave threats to our national security, and they must be stopped by exercising our God-given right of self-defense.
It looks like we actually are some distance down the process. Look at the wierd court decisions we've seen here in WA, campaigns of politically motivated leaks from the CIA, etc.
If it only gets as bad as Nigeria or Kenya, the result would be terrible, but the experience in other places suggests that it would be far worse.

This was what most of them said.
Born on November 23, 1922, in the southern Mekong Delta, Kiet served as prime minister from 1991 until he stepped down to be replaced by his former deputy Phan Van Khai in September 1997.
In his term as premier, and as the most senior southerner in the ruling Communist Party and government, Kiet was a leader in the Southeast Asian country's market-oriented economic reforms in the late 1980s and 1990s which started to replace a failed Soviet-style system.

Posted by: Hinton on October 7, 2008 10:51 AMWell said, but an Obama overthrow of Western civilization isn't inevitable. See #38, above. Obama and his thugs are Outlaws who are subject to the law. Just spreading that word will clarify the course of action for many people, and mobilize them. As usual, it will require some effort from all of us to protect our nation, but I'm sure you're up to it. It's worth it. Words work.
Posted by: The Pirate on October 7, 2008 11:47 AMAnd to believe that this doesn't apply to McCain is the ultimate in hypocrisy.
Truth doesn't matter to them.
Nor to you.
We're embarking on a dark journey in this country and the world. The "Dark Ages" (no pun intended) of modern times is upon us. Once American freedom is gone, the world is gone. It will take lots of blood, famine, death, and suffering to get back to anything resembling what we had. Nobody alive now will ever get to experience what we had the last 100 years again. It will look more like the USSR of the 20's-50's or worse. Hell on earth.
Dogs and cats, living together...
Sorry.
Your statements are amusing. Simply amusing. To think that a Republican administration would be a glowing ray of hope and a Democratic administration would set us on a path to hell is absurd.
My belief that a McCain presidency would tear the country apart is rooted in the idea that for eight years, one half of the country hasn't been represented in the president's office. If you were to get a Republican into the office for another four years, especially after a campaign has whipped up their supporters' emotions, you're going to get a tremendous backlash, the likes of which you have never seen.
Blabber all you want about your extreme right-wing sensibilities being offended by a non-white person in the office. The greater danger is for half the country telling a "President" McCain to go and shove his country and his supporters. That kind of disengagement with this economic situation would be catastrophic.
Obama is not going to bring us together. He has NEVER shown ANY interest in the affairs of any group other than blacks. Check it out. He hasn't given to any other charities but black ones. He hasn't taught anything any of his classes other than the black angle on things such as law. His Black Theology church teaches Jesus was put on earth by God only to bring up the black race.
Wrong. A completely unsubstantiated lie.
I'm not trying to be racist when I say white people should be worried.
You may not be trying hard, but you are a racist.
The future Obama's America is going to try and reverse any and all percieved injustices done by white European Americans. Obama isn't just going to move on. He's going to go back and dredge up the past and "make it right". That is what his church is about, that is why he's running for President. that has been his life-long goal. He will dismantle America and re-build it according to black theology. The signs are out there. Just look at them...connect the dots.
For paranoid, xenophobic racists like you, yes... the "dots" are there. For normal people, you're a crazed lunatic.
Go back to ranting on a street corner.

ACORN office in Vegas raided in voter-fraud probe
By OSKAR GARCIA - 1 hour ago
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Nevada state authorities are raiding the Las Vegas headquarters of an organization that works to get low-income people to vote.
A Nevada secretary of state's office spokesman said Tuesday that investigators are looking for evidence of voter fraud at the office of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.
No one was at the ACORN office when state agents arrived with a search warrant and began carting records and documents away.
Secretary of State spokesman Bob Walsh says ACORN is accused of submitting multiple voter registrations with false and duplicate names.
The raid comes two months after state and federal authorities formed a task force to pursue election-fraud allegations in Nevada.
Good Luck.
Either way we know the left will riot just like Odinga's supporters did. Lose they burn the towns. Win they begin to kill whitey.
Congrats to Jerome Corsi - Barrack Obama's first Political Prisoner.
"Anyone, Anyone got water for Headless over here she has fainted at the thought of McCain." Like everything else the complete disregard of the BHO campaign and facts is wholly dangerous and no your massacre will not succeed.
Posted by: Col. Hogan on October 7, 2008 12:02 PMHe has NEVER shown ANY interest in the affairs of any group other than blacks.
So Demo you say this is a lie.
*******************************
Shall we bring up the homes that Obama helped Rezco get money to fixed for the poor. But was not fixed, and now many of these places are no longer liveable. No heat, broken roofs, broken out windows etc. So he really cares?
Odd way of showing it.
Take the blinders off

Posted by: Mike H on October 7, 2008 12:51 PMYet Demokid says. Hey nothing going on here.
Can you say RICO.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Organizations like The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) have also faced charges of fraud in their efforts to drive voter turnout during the election.
Twenty-seven thousand registrations handled by the group from January to July 2008 "went into limbo because they were incomplete, inaccurate, or fraudulent," Perry said, claiming the group recently came under investigation for allegedly registering deceased individuals in certain states.
At least Mama Obama wears her angry racist attitudes on her sleeve while Barry Obummer has half the country fooled into thinking he isn't just as acerbic in his inner soul as she is in her outer soul.
Posted by: Rick D. on October 7, 2008 01:09 PMUnless, of course, you indulge in mean-spirited, racist attacks, like it seems Palin is wallowing in right now. I should have expected as much from dishonorable, dishonest folks like yourselves...
Posted by: demo kid on October 7, 2008 01:13 PMWell for a week now I have showing you more and more proof. Yet the chicken you are. You stop talking about it.
Yep your a kid alright! LOL
Posted by: Army Medic/Vet on October 7, 2008 01:28 PMAnd it ain't good. No wonder Obama hid and deceived the Democrats on his way to the nomination. More than one Democrat wishes it had been Hillary. Too late to go back. I tell them I am voting for the other Democrat- McCain.
Posted by: swatter on October 7, 2008 01:44 PMEVERY channel including CNN is starting to say Obama and Ayers were "more than acquaintences". The trickle is turning into a steady flow, which will turn into a torrent, which will turn into a flood. Not YOU or any other apologist for Obama and his Marxist/Socialist agenda can stop it.
Posted by: scott on October 7, 2008 02:20 PMBut -- site admins -- look at some of the stuff people have posted on this thread. I mean, no one should be censored -- let your freak flag fly and all that -- but good lord.
Look at Scott's or David's rants. These posts drag the whole site down. And yea, I could waste the next twenty minutes trying to refute them, line by line...but I shouldn't need to. Nearly every single one of his assertions can, and should, be refuted by anyone, Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, who comment here.
And DemoKid -- I know you probably can't resist, but all these folks are doing are hanging out, waiting to respond to your posts with this crap. It pollutes the site. Don't contribute to these flame wars.
November 5th cannot come soon enough.
Posted by: Zeeb on October 7, 2008 03:01 PMGood point about pressing issues. Does anyone here have a finance or mortgage background? I heard an idea floated by some banks to rework some of the home loan agreements and allow for drastically reduced monthly payments for folks facing potential foreclosure. How feasible are those agreements to work out? (I imagine they couldn't be that straightforward, since banks would rather refinance/restructure than take the keys).
One more thing: a lot of folks have posted about the role ACORN played in the current mess. That just seems wrong to me. It's not like the crisis in mortgage-backed securities and other collateralized debt obligations is made up entirely, or even mostly, by inner-city homes. Nor can most of this be laid at the feet of the CRA (which is decades old legislation). And even if most of the foreclosures could be traced back to the CRA and ACORN (which doesn't really make any sense to me as an argument, but whatever), there was no legislation which forced anyone to make heavily leveraged purchases of securities created from mortgage pools.
Posted by: zeeb on October 7, 2008 03:16 PMAnd all you've got to post is this YouTube Crap?
You better hope McCain does well in the debate tonight or it will be OVER, and all the Ayers/Acorn/Whatever whining won't help one bit.
Posted by: RobertSeattle on October 7, 2008 03:21 PMAs for timing, I hope the American public gets this information now (after all, most haven't started to focus till now and don't know the half of it). If they still choose the DalaiBama or Obibama, then so be it. I would rather the public know about this guy now instead of after the election.
I still don't know why Clinton didn't get their press to vet the guy earlier.
Posted by: swatter on October 7, 2008 03:42 PMI am voting for Rossi. But, given that he's pretty moderate, I can imagine that you may not be. And I'm not trying to the be the moral conscience of anything. Clearly, that's the role you're auditioning for, with your prophesies of the Obama Dark Age.
And when someone posts the following about a man with a white mother --
"He has NEVER shown ANY interest in the affairs of any group other than blacks"
there's not much to say.
Trying to refute emotional rants like that with facts or argument is a losing game. I've lived in cities with black mayors, Scott. I'm sure some of us have even lived in a county with a black supervisor...(!) It wasn't that bad! Seriously, the white people were even allowed to have jobs and move around on their own. So, you know, it may not be as bad as you think. Of course, you can do what all the left-wing nuts wanted to in 1999, and move to Canada. They even have a (relatively) conservative government now!
But avoid B.C. (too many Sikhs!) or Quebec (French!).
It is stunning - you constantly threaten the over throw of the land, threaten riots, assist the enemies, ignore laws, make up your own laws at the court instead of the legislature, convert billions in tax dollars into your own pockets for the "social good", demand a death culture around the sexualization of children and we don't fire back a single shot. Remember many of the Frenchies were hoisted on their own petard. Be very careful what you help unleash because you've never had it so good.
Admit it you just wish we were all going to jail for hurting your feelings while you destroy the land.
Never in the history of the world is there an example of any success with what the non-American Obama plans to do. None!
I pay my mortgage on time, and I wouldn't want someone else to get bailed out without consequence.
But all of us are kind of screwed with a credit freeze. I mean, if I wanted to sell my house, it'll be pretty tough -- because even people with good credit won't be able to get a loan. And if businesses can't access credit, well, they might go under. And I might get fired. All because a whole bunch of investment bankers thought it would be a great idea to borrow a bunch of money, buy and pool high yield mortgages, slice them up, and sell them as securities for a massive profit.
So yea -- if bailing out some schlub whose eyes were bigger than his bank account helps the credit markets stay fluid, I'm all for it.
But now I'm doing what I told Demo Kid not to do, which is feed the flames. Any non-right wing rhetoric here gets trampled. I don't think it used to be like this, but maybe I'm wrong.
And yea, Obama's association with ACORN does bother me some. And I'd put those reservations out earlier if I felt that they'd ever get responded to in good faith here.
Posted by: Zeeb on October 7, 2008 04:03 PMBut apparently, since the SoS and AG are of a political party he can't stand, none of that matters.
Gawd, I get tired of people like you.
Posted by: jimg on October 7, 2008 04:07 PMAnd now that I've bothered to look, the SoS for the state of Nevada is Ross Miller, Democrat.
So, what's your point Robert?
Posted by: jimg on October 7, 2008 04:14 PMThat ACORN consists of a bunch of crooks and the people in charge are throwing the book at a bunch of crooks?
Good.
Posted by: jimg on October 7, 2008 04:17 PMTo be brutally honest, I've been coming here off and on looking for good debate in a liberal political monoculture. I actually do like the idea of debating with conservatives, and there are a few things that I can agree with on a rational basis: gun rights (with some reasonable limitations), bans on abortion in the third trimester, some level of privatization and liberalization in certain sectors of the economy, things like that. There is not the diversity of opinion that I've been used to here in Seattle, and I don't like it.
There have been times where I've found that kind of exchange here, but reading what these folks write here is like reading the mad scratchings from inmates in an asylum. There is no respect for alternative points of view, the ad hominem attacks here are pretty vile, and the level of racism and misogyny here blows me away on a regular basis.
I have to admit that I've sunk as low as these folks sometimes with this... but it's been a slow descent. Now, though, I just seem to relish the idea of irritating the crap out of people whose debate style seems to amount to calling people liberals and saying that non-conservatives should be shot.
But heck, if a conservative (I'm guessing?) such as yourself is being shouted down as being a "fraud" for being civil... that should say something about how radical and out of touch these folks are.

Is YOUR name on the OPORDER? You boys are in over your heads.
Posted by: The Pirate on October 7, 2008 04:49 PMI'm not nearly as conservative as I used to be (a reversal of Churchill's formulation, I guess). I've generally been pro-life, though not as rigid as the current GOP platform. On fiscal issues, I'm pretty conservative -- but not if "conservative" is defined as "consistent with George W. Bush". The President is not a fiscal conservative. I prefer relatively low marginal tax rates - but I no longer think the Laffer curve is the end-all and be-all of economic policy. Basically, I like low taxes, but if the public fisc is threatened, I'm not opposed to the idea of a tax increase. Some things are worth a tax increase.
In college, I was chairman of my school's College Republicans. After 9/11, I was quite intense and a vocal advocate of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I no longer support the war in Iraq, and think our presence there is no longer worth American blood or treasure.
Generally, I think the Republican party has destroyed American conservatism. I'm not a Christian, and I don't think the Republican party is welcoming to non-Christians. The current GOP is, in my view, the most theological iteration of a major party in American history.
Posted by: Zeeb on October 7, 2008 05:33 PMPlease name an example of Barack Obama reaching across the aisle in the spirit of bipartisanship. There are literally dozens of examples of McCain doing the very thing, sponsoring a bill with a Democrat colleague.
If Obama is to be the uniter that the Democrats proclaim, then show an example of his taking the initiative in uniting both parties.
Posted by: Shanghai Dan on October 7, 2008 05:59 PMC'mon guys. Be honest. No conservative would say the Afghanistan war was one of "a couple disasterous wars". Even Democrats say the Afghanistan war was and still is justified. Even your savior Obama wants to shift troops there. THAT wouldn't be part of any conservative argument. That's why I called you a fraud. You've done nothing to dissuade me on that point Zeeb.
Don't confuse me with someone who gives even the slightest part of a damn about what anyone thinks of my opinion, but I especially don't care what liberals think of me.
According to you holier than thou liberals:
Even though Obama sat in Jeramiah's black theology church for 20 years, I'm the racist?
You want to talk about Obama's mother? Good because he doesn't. He did say his grandmother was a "typical white person...afraid of black people on the street"... but I'm the racist?
Even though Obama has taken millions of taxpayer dollars and steered them towards what amount to radical political Madrassas to preach hatred for America to young inner city youth, I'm the racist?
Even though it was just reported on CNN today that 9 in 10 blacks will vote for Obama, I'm the racist?
Even though Bill Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro were both labled racists by the Obama campaign, Obama is NOT a racist?
Even though there is not a single charitable contribution by Obama to a non-black entity, I'm a racist? That is a little revelation brought out by the fact that Obama donated only 1% of his income prior to 2007, so he gave the names of charities himself to prove he gives to charity. What were they, Trinity Church, Black Congressional Caucus Foundation (later found to not qualify for charitable tax exempt status), Muntu Dance Theater, a Chicago-based company that performs contemporary and classic African dance, Rochelle Lee Fund (largely but not necessarily all black oriented), and CARE (also largely but not necessarily all black oriented).
So, go ahead and call me a racist. I don't care. I can call you a racist too. You're a racist. See, it accomplished nothing. We both think the other is a racist, big deal.
By the way I'd vote for Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, Alan Keys, Bill Cosby, Thomas Sowell, or any other conservative African American.
If you want to "debate" then do it. Bring some facts and let's debate them. So far you haven't done that.
Since what I said bothers you enough for you to spend time here bad mouthing me for pointing out all these "coincidences" about Obama's connections, prove me wrong, or at least show how another conclusion should be made. It should be easy since you think you are so obviously in control of the moral high ground here.
I believe any one of the things I have said about Obama taken alone wouldn't amount to anything. But when you add them all up, the radical ties, his black theology church, his book named after a Jeramiah Wright sermon, his William Ayers association, his support for a Kenyan Muslim dictator, his continuing efforts to silence critics, his wife's little "slips of the tongue", his Saul Alinsky style community activism, his statement that he's going to start a "civil security force" based on his community youth organizations; ...all that added together REALLY SCARES THE HELL OUT OF PEOPLE who care about freedom and democracy!

At this time in October 2000, Al Gore was ahead by 11 points... far more than obambi is today.
I don't seem to recall a Gore inauguration.
At this time in October 2004, Francois Kerry was greatly ahead.
I don't seem to recall a Kerry inauguration.
At this time in October 2004, Mondale was all but coronated by the left.
I don't seem to recall a Mondale inauguration.
It's bad enough the chickens have come home to roost with freedom killing liberalism, but you are counting those chickens before they've hatched... again.
Posted by: Ragnar Danneskjold on October 7, 2008 08:43 PM...Perhaps we can delve into the reason why then, Demokid. It starts with a term called "liberal fascism" and can be witnessed at least every four years when some American citizen (and in this case combat veteran) dares to put a G.O.P. sign on or around his home and have the signs and property repeatedly vandalized as a result. Then, moving along, venture down to downtown seattle and expect your car to get keyed should you dare have anything in any way that can be considered Republican on your vehicle.
I've been in this city for nearly 20 years and am continually amazed at how dramatically undiversified it is in terms of political ideology. I've lived in Florida, Arizona and Hawaii and have never experienced the kind of groupthink that exists in Seattle, largely due to an ignorant population that would rather just go with the flow than think for themselves.
FWIW, I travelled by Potts' house on my commute every day during the 2004 campaign and witnessed the carnage first hand.
Posted by: Rick D. on October 7, 2008 08:52 PMNot sure where you got those numbers but their not reality. Gore was up by 3 at this point in 2000 and Kerry was only up by 2 in 2004. I can't make any sense of your Mondale comment either.
No matter though, the only poll that counts is the one done on Nov 4th.
Right now, we're feeling pretty good about things.
How 'bout you???
Whose the leader of the cult that's made for you and me?

Considering that Obama is up by two points, I'd say you should be sweating, not feeling pretty good. You guys have a nice track record of being up by 2-3 points a month before the election and then losing.

CNN Poll: Obama won the night
Posted: 11:45 PM ET
From CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser
Polls suggests Obama has won tonight's debate.
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) -- A national poll of debate watchers suggests that Barack Obama won the second presidential debate.
Fifty-four percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey conducted after the debate ended said that Obama did the best job in the debate, with 30 percent saying John McCain performed better.
Watch: Debate analysis
A majority, 54 percent, said Obama seemed to be the stronger leader during the debate, to 43 percent for McCain. By a greater than two to one margin -- 65 percent to 28 percent -- viewers thought Obama was more likeable during the debate.
"Obama had made some gains on the leadership issue even before the debate," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "McCain's advantage on leadership shrunk from 19 points in September to just five points this weekend. If Obama can use this debate to convince Americans that he is a stronger leader than McCain, he may be difficult to defeat."
Watch: Reading the candidates' faces
A majority of debate watchers polled thought Obama was more intelligent, by a 57 percent to 25 percent margin over McCain. Twice as many debate watchers also thought Obama more clearly expressed than McCain, with 60 percent giving the nod to the Democratic nominee and 30 percent to his GOP opponent.
Hands down, debate watchers questioned thought McCain rather than Obama spent more time attacking his opponent: 63 percent said McCain went more negative, as opposed to 17 percent who pointed to Obama.
Half of those polled say Obama answered questions more directly, 13 points ahead of McCain, and by a 14 point advantage debate watchers thought Obama seemed to care more about the probelms of audience members who asked questions.
McCain did come out on top in one category that neither candidate wants to win: By a 16 point margin, debate watchers thought McCain seemed more like a typical politician during the debate.
According to the poll, 64 percent had a favorable opinion of Obama after the debate, up four points from the pre-debate result. McCain's favorability rating remained unchanged: both before and after the debate percent of those polled had a favorable opinion of the Republican nominee both before and after the debate.
"For McCain, the key finding may be that his favorable rating did not change at all," Holland said. "It's unclear whether Obama will gain any momentum from Tuesday night's debate, but it looks like McCain will not do so, and for a candidate who has consistently been a few points behind in national polls, that's not a good sign."
The poll suggests that independent voters thought Obama won the debate. Fifty-four percent of those identifying themselves as independent say Obama performed best, with 28 percent saying that McCain did the better job.
Among Democrats, 85 percent say Obama won, with just 5 percent saying McCain was the winner. Among Republicans, 64 percent say McCain won, with 16 percent saying Obama won the night.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted by telephone with 675 adult Americans who watched the debate. All interviews were taken after the end of the debate. The audience for this debate was 38 percent Democratic and 31 percent Republican -- very close to the partisan breakdown among all Americans nationwide. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Posted by: Unkl Witz on October 7, 2008 10:42 PMAha! This is something that I can sink my teeth into. How would you change the focus of the Republican Party to address this? Where do you think they're going wrong, and what do you think they're doing right?

Posted by: lee on October 7, 2008 11:52 PMNice try to change your tune... So you care to elucidate on how Obama's current 2-3 point lead translates to a Democrat win in November, given the historical leads you pointed out?
Demo Kid,
Still don't want to talk issues? I'll repeat it again:
Please name an example of Barack Obama reaching across the aisle in the spirit of bipartisanship. There are literally dozens of examples of McCain doing the very thing, sponsoring a bill with a Democrat colleague.
If Obama is to be the uniter that the Democrats proclaim, then show an example of his taking the initiative in uniting both parties.
You said you wanted to debate and talk issues. Well, here's your chance...

Three examples of working with Republicans: Tom Coburn, Chuck Hagel, and Dick Lugar. Guess I win that one, eh?
Now, you can certainly qualify that and say that these don't count for *some* reason. On the other hand, I'm amused that you would use McCain-Feingold or McCain-Kennedy as reasons for Republicans to vote for the fellow. You don't "unite both parties" by leaving your own behind.

Posted by: The Pirate on October 8, 2008 10:19 AMFunny, too, that you're defending citizens that "fairly or unfairly start shooting anyone who looks like a terrorist". Vigilante justice? I think that you're the dangerous one, not the left.
Furthermore, you have no substantiation of "vote fraud". It's wishful thinking, especially with the rather lopsided poll numbers coming out now.
Go get on some medication before you hurt yourself.
Posted by: demo kid on October 8, 2008 11:14 AMExcept that he isn't either a moron or a partisan.
Glenn Beck is a moderate who doesn't hew to any partisan party line. The reason he becomes a target for ridicule (like you just attempted) is because he irritates both sides with his commentary. You may not like it, but that doesn't make it wrong.
Glenn's hypothetical scenario was just that - hypothetical. Behind it was the same message that Glenn has shouted for a long while - that we need to put the partisan stuff on the shelf for a moment and solve the financial mess Congress created.
Doesn't sound like a "right-wing whacko (sic) to me. Doesn't sound like "independent thought" or "reasonable debate" either...
Posted by: Alphabet Soup on October 8, 2008 01:17 PMO-bomb-a regularly sneers at the President telling us to shop, but that was the point: to show the America haters that we can not be destroyed, that they do not scare us, that we will not let them manipulate our economy.
Today our economy, like most of the FREE world, is in an economic struggle of massive proportions.
Today, we have terrorist organizations on record as saying they support O-bomb-a and hope he wins.
Why is that? It's because they know from his own words that he will not be aggressive in fighting them.
With the current economic crisis, with the America-hateres stated purpose and HISTORY of destroying us through our ecomomic system, withthe bombings of our Embassies overseas recently, an O-bomb-a election will give THE AMERICA HATERS, a perfect storm to attempt to destroy us again.
The only question remains is not what city, but how many?

HAHAHAHAHA! Man, you crack me up... So his bill which DIED IN THE SENATE gets tacked on the end of another bill and that's a great victory? Taking a dead bill and trying to get some of it attached to another bill?
OMB Offers an Easy Way to Follow the Money
Yes, Obama joined 46 OTHER SENATORS in cosponsoring that bill. Some bipartisanship there! So his big bold move was to hide with half the Senate in co-sponsoring a bill that passed on a voice vote! So popular that it didn't even need a recorded vote. Yes, that's some courage there!
Obama, Lugar Secure Funding for Implementation of Nonproliferation Law
You mean Senate Bill 313 that had 39 cosponsors (of which Obama was one)? The bill that stalled in committee and few provisions were tacked on another bill?
Or Senate Bill 1949 that's stuck in committee?
Or Senate Bill 2566 where Obama is one of 26 cosponsors?
So we have Obama being one of a face in a LARGE crowd (we're talking 27% or more of the entire Senate "sponsoring" a bill). And the only bill that actually passed had HALF the Senate as cosponsors and passed on a complete voice vote.
Yes, that's some bipartisanship! Not a single record of actually telling his own party "you're wrong, I support this anyway".
For McCain-Feingold, or McCain-Lieberman (which did not pass), or McCain-Kennedy those are all examples of McCain actually BEING bipartisan, saying that sometimes a position trumps politics. You know, actually working with the other side.
Obama? Not so much... Unless tacking your name on a bill with 48 other Senators counts as being a champion of bipartisanship!
Posted by: Shanghai Dan on October 8, 2008 03:41 PMI am reading through these comments and I just have to say ...
Republicans aren't elitists. Not in the least. Conservatives are uneducated racists who cling desperately to their guns and their fundamentalism.
What a miserable, sad day it is for the United States of America. After all these years of watching the Republican party run the USA to the ground, the conservatives still cling to their racism as a last resort against Obama.
Needless to say, the Republican party is well on its way of becoming the minority party . You people insist upon living in the 19th century and haven't yet realized that it is the 21st century.
America is a multiracial, multicultural country. You'll realize this soon enough when there isn't an old white man in the White House.

First... you're not really interested in being bipartisan one way or the other! McCain-Kennedy was ROUNDLY skewered by the far-right-wingnuts, and I doubt that you were pleased by McCain-Feingold either. For him to tell you that you're wrong is probably not the kin of bipartisanship you'd particularly like.
Second, what exactly would pass the bar for you? Are you going to consider Kennedy or Feingold to be bipartisan because they cosponsored those same bills with a Republican? Would anyone, save Joe Lieberman, fit that role in your mind?
Posted by: demo kid on October 12, 2008 01:47 PMAgain, back to you - name a SINGLE bill that Obama sponsored or where he stood up to his party leadership.
You can't. He's a baby killing, racist, Socialist extremist who is as partisan as can be. He's a crybaby, wannabe, economic disaster waiting to happen.
And if he gets in, and the country falls to pieces, I'm sure you'll be the first to issue a mea culpa for letting him in...
