“…SurveyUSA has conducted polling in five states where some form of early voting was underway. In each one, Barack Obama is doing profoundly better among early voters than among the state’s electorate as a whole… Obama is leading by an average of 23 points among early voters in these five states, states which went to George W. Bush by an average of 6.5 points in 2004.” Those states include Ohio, Iowa, Georgia, New Mexico and North Carolina. [FiveThirtyEight]

Oh Churchill-y (AKA Men-Sar) you can recoil from the foetal position now that you will have to bow down to your Black President: Barack Obama. I can hear the brain cells jettison around your empty egg-headed skull with your race-based fear.

I voted early on Monday, but I wrote in Hillary Clinton.
Bill Perdue
It’ll be a landslide, and then Obama, winner of the primaries and anointed First Pandered of the Nation and Toady in Chief to of the military industrial complex and Wall Street will try to win an unwinnable war and heal a fatally wounded economy.
Then it’s the Left’s turn.
Ya gotta love it.
Homeboy
Stenar…great minds think alike! I too voted yesterday, but had to write in the name of the only QUALIFIED candidate…..
Hillary R. Clinton

Luckily you are dead-enders so who cares really what you do.

Americans have changed for the better (finally). This election will be the absolute proof of that.
Bill Perdue
“Americans have changed for the better (finally). This election will be the absolute proof of that.”
Spoken like a true believer. Marco, your statement is a testament to the power of self-delusion and campaign idolatry. Homophobic bigotry, spurred on by Obama and McCain may sink us in California. Racism is a festering sore. Both candidates voted for anti-constitutional laws like FISA and to extend the Paytriot Act. The war by Big Oil, supported by McCain and Obama, is eating lives too fast to count. And the economy is failing.
Certainly we’ve changed – GLBT folks refuse to be marginalized no matter what Obama and McCain say about us. And unions are changing – the time of labor peace is over. The antiwar movement plans major demonstrations – a series of them – to force the US out of the Middle East. Every group in American society that’s been denied equality has been stirring and their efforts will be magnified by the economic disaster that’s overtaking us.
The reality is that we’re going to politically put that opportunist hustler Obama out to pasture, because he can’t and won’t lead us into those “sunlit upland pastures†that another fraud, Winston Churchill babble on about.
You’re going to end up changing your middle name to Hoover-Nixon, just like that Obama.
Mr C
Bill,
As I read your views and understand them. Unfortunately that’s “Wonderland” and who do you really like?
I hope not Nader after he made it clear that he’ll support McCain and his only reason getting into the election is too hurt the democratic party.
So he’s obviously he’s full of shit!
Bill Perdue
Mr. C – you’ve been reading my comments long enough to know that what I “like†is building massive, militant movements for fundamental change and that has nothing to do with elections.
I don’t like Obama because he’s a religious bigot, a warmonger and he’s Wall Streets favorite lap dog. I don’t like McCain for exactly the same reasons, except McCain is Wall Streets number 2 lap dog. They gave far more money to Obama than McCain, which is why Obama urged his party to donate, on our behalf, $700 billion dollars to cover the losses of the rich. McCain, who got far less money from Wall Street, petulantly waited a whole day before voting for the biggest heist in American history, except for stealing the continent from it’s native inhabitants and slavery.
I don’t think change comes from elections at all, it comes from building movements that can compel the ruling rich to do what we want instead of what they want, or else.
Who told you that Nader backs McCain? Was it Dean or Daughtry or one of those bigots who run the DNC? I think they were lying. Nader’s not a socialist or a revolutionist but I couldn’t believe what you said so I looked up his website www dot votenader dot org and didn’t see any mention of it. Nor did I find any thing on Google or Yahoo. Is there some YouTube clip where he’s says he’s for McCain? Please, publish the link so we can all see.
Regarding the political destruction of the Democratic Party, no one on the outside has to do anything. The Democrats are committing political suicide, and doing an admirable job of it, I’m happy to note. At least they got something right. They’ll continue the war, play lap dog to the corporate rich and pander to bigots. After the high expectations of people silly enough to actually believe campaign promises are betrayed by the Democrats their rage will help transform US society. The Democrats will go the way of the Whigs, into the garbage bin of history.
Write in someone good, vote socialist or vote communist or for the union led Labor Party or for none of the above or just stay home. Our votes and opinions don’t count at all when they give away trillions to the rich, start genocidal wars, gut ENDA or decide to ditch the Matthew Shepard hate crimnes bill. But our mass movements do.
Truth
There is still no confirmation whether Obama is an American citizen. Makes me think…

the world blames GWB for the mismanagement of the USA economy since the crisis after Sept 11 2001, the war in Iraq, and the threat of world recession. Radical change is needed in the USA. not just in government, but in the way you live and trade with the rest of the world.
you have allowed a monkey to run your country for 8 years. if you didn’t vote in the last election then you are to blame, if you don’t vote this year be it on your jobless, homeless heads. Australia has constitutional compulsory voting, with nasty fines if you don’t, we don’t have the “right ” to bear arms. the too-ing and fro-ing of your constitution and bill of rights needs an overhaul if your “empire” is to survive in someway after Asia/China emerges as the new world power
Mr C
Actually, The statement came across the ticker on CNN Tuesday and it said that if he got out the race He (Ralph Nader) would support John McCain.
I wear glasses so I know I’m not blind. And I don’t visit the DNC website or anything as such. I’m not one to publish too much of internet lies.
Bill Perdue
Well Mr. C, I still don’t believe it.
CNN has no record of any statement about Nader endorsing or supporting McCain at all. None, zero, nada, zilch. ? Look it up for yourself and if you find one get back to us. CNN dot com / search
You may find this or that story about some hamfisted attack by a Democratic shill accusing Nader him of supporting McCain but that that’s because you Democrats are very undemocratic and won’t tolerate opposition. That’s why we still have the Electoral College and why every state in the union has laws to prevent third parties from playing any role in elections.
I could understand Obama endorsing McCain or vice versa. That would make sense because they’re both right centrist politicians who claim they oppose same sex marriage for bigoted superstitious reasons… and I believe them. They both plan on ramping up the murder of civilians in the Middle East and neither has a clue about how to handle the $15 or so trillion dollar debt their deregulation policies created. The Great Depression became official in 1931-32 as economic activity dwindled down to rock bottom, years after the 1929 stock market crash. Watch for a repeat.
Obama will win and he’ll take the title of most unpopular president in history away from Bush, who just last month fell lower than Nixon’s Watergate ratings for the first time. Politically, the left is being given a golden chance to dismantle the influence of the Democratic Party brick by brick, and believe me, we’re up for it. It’ll be fun.
Here is CNN’s latest story about Nader regarding McCain, and it’s not exactly an endorsement.
There’s more to it and you can find it while you’re searching for proof that Nader, a progressive reformist, supports McCain, who plays Tweedledum to Obama’s Tweedledee.
