Poll question: Just for fun: who is Obama's base?
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 08:24 PM by XemaSab
Which constituency brings it for Obama like no other? :shrug:

(FLAMING BALLS OF SATIRE, BATMAN! I've seen most of these dismissals of Obama's power and MORE on this board in teh last few weeks, and if there's democrat-hating going on, it's dismissing powerful parts of the DEMOCRATIC BASE as fringe interest groups. :grr:

And for super-further clarification: I'm a 30-year old white woman voting for Obama who feels marginalized as a latte liberal AND as a young person by some of the people on this board. And I did in fact have a latte this morning as a big SCREW YOU to those dismissive of my views. :) )

2. I think it's all supposed to be sarcastic. But satire rarely works around here. nt

8. dunno.... I'm a big fan of satire
luv me some Borat... the above struck me as more petty sniping on this board, but perhaps i'm too tired to appreciate it, if satirical.

i think Skinner may want to consider putting this board out of its misery.

11. Ever satirical thing I've posted today has been argued against by a serious angry person.
And just for that, I'm voting "Bill Clinton's ex-girlfriends."

32. It's the punishment we evil corn farmers reserve for our greatest enemies.
Some are roasted, some are 'plucked and popped,' some are fed to cows, some are hung on doorways as decoration...the worst, the most evil...are husked, or perhaps...shucked.

25. If ALL of Bill Clinton's ex-girlfriends were for Obama....
That would have heavily tipped the scales in favor of Obama.

Bill's bimbos are easily 7 percent of the electorate!

I wonder if there's a way to woo them all over to Obama?

Maybe we could have a drawing at the voting booth--for a gift basket filled
with frosty, blue eyeshadow from Kmart, spandex black leggings and a giant
comb that's gentle on over processed, big hair.

I like it!

27. Just because Bill likes the BIG girls there's no reason you had to say they would have
heavily tipped the scales in favor of Obama. :P
