Poll Numbers: Obama by 7
Our friends at the Associated Press report that Sen. Obama's lead over Sen. Clinton is down to seven points. From the AP:
Obama maintains his edge over Clinton in North Carolina, a state he was widely expected to win coming out of the Pennsylvania primary. Obama leads Clinton 63-26 among voters under age 35, while Clinton has a 47-45 edge among voters over 50. He has the support of 87 percent of black voters, while Clinton leads among whites with 62 percent. By party registration, Obama led 48 percent to 43 percent among Democrats and 55-38 among independent or unaffiliated voters. Fifty-five percent said they were looking most for a candidate who "represents change and a new approach," while 36 percent said they wanted someone who "has the right experience." The poll was conducted as news broke that Gov. Mike Easley would endorse Clinton.

IF HILLARY WINS AND OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ENDORSE OBAMA --- COME NOVEMBER --- WE ALL NEED TO VOTE TO REPLACE ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES NEED TO LISTEN TO "WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES" --- NOT TO A "WANNA-BE-PRESIDENT-IN-TRAINING WHO HAS RUN HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON LIES AND HAS TOO MANY TIES TO TERRORISTS AND ANTI-AMERICAN FRIENDS". We American’s elected ALL members of Congress, as well as state and local officials, to be “our voice” --- we are tired of you taking our voices away.
MAYA ANGELOU SAID: “Hillary Clinton is a prayer of every American who really longs for fair play. Working men and women have had their jobs snatched from underneath them, their homes snatched away from them. And what we need, I think, is a person, a President who can make a difference in our country. She intends to help our country become what it can become. She dares to say human beings are more alike than we are unalike. I watched her become interested in public health and in education for all the children. And I watched her stand. I have found the person I think would be the best president for the United States of America.”
VOTE HILLARY 2008!

Obama supporters, hold onto that HOPE Obama's selling because that's all he's GOT when it comes to getting those CHANGES Made.
Obama claims 7 years experience in the Illinois legislature - Working Across the Aisles, Bringing people together to get good CHANGES passed -as exemplified by 26 good bills with his name on them.
A Chicago reporter says all 26 bills were passed in ONE Year.
http://wweek.com/editorial/3418/10516/
EXCERPTS:
But what’s interesting, and almost never discussed, is that he built his entire legislative record in Illinois in a single year.
Republicans controlled the Illinois General Assembly for six years of Obama’s seven-year tenure.
Then Emil Jones Jr. (became the Senate Majority leader), He became Obama’s kingmaker.
Jones appointed Obama sponsor of virtually every high-profile piece of legislation, angering many rank-and-file state legislators who had more seniority than Obama and had spent years championing the bills.
During his seventh year in the state Senate, Obama ... sponsored a whopping 26 bills including many he now cites in his presidential campaign when attacked as inexperienced.
Working Across the Aisles/
Making CHANGES = ZILCH
Taking Credit for Other People's Work/ INTEGRITY = ZERO
HONESTY = ZERO

Mr. Obama has explained quite candidly the complexity of the Rev. Wright circumstances for all of us with “learning disabilities” to understand in his speech outside of Philadelphia. This speech was praised as the best speech since the days of Lincoln. March 18, 2008 - "I can no more disown him (Jeremiah Wright) than I can disown my white grandmother." -- Barack Obama, Philadelphia,
However in North Carolina, Obama explained that he now had to renounce the man, not just his words. He said his comments were “shockingly divisive and destructive”. But Rev. Wright’s comments were not new. We all heard then over two months ago. Had Rev. Wright’s philosophy and views in life suddenly, out of the blue, just changed?
Mr. Obama has adjusted his stories (lack of candidness and truthfulness) on this topic too many times to believe. Senator Obama stated publically that he never heard Reverend Wright make any controversial statements. Then he later stated that he did hear some over the years he's been in church. Which is true and which is false? The truth is that Mr. Obama has just realized that the American public now realizes that Rev. Wright sells racial hatred and therefore Obama’s judgment is now in question. So the new message is now abandonment not because Rev. Wright said disgusting and degrading things about America and the white population, but because it clearly now shows a lack of sound judgment for a very LONG TIME on Mr. Obama’s part.

OBAMA HAS BASED HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON LIES. WE HAVE 50 STATES --- NOT 48 --- COUNT THEIR VOTES!
OBAMA'S TIES TO ANTI-AMERICANS AND TERRORISTS WILL NOT GO AWAY.
HE DENOUNCED PASTOR WRIGHT "AFTER" HIS POLL NUMBERS DROPPED. HE SUPPORTED WRIGHT FOR 20 YEARS. SAT IN CHURCH WITH HIS CHILDREN, LISTENING TO SPEWS OF HATRED AND "GOD DAMN AMERICA".
I'M A SMALL-TOWN AMERICAN WHO IS NOT BITTER BUT I DO BELIEVE IN GOD.
OBAMA CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
STOP THE DRAMA --- NO OBAMA!
HILLARY OR McCAIN 2008!
