Brand Republican is dead, McCain is history, and Barack WILL win!
Why?

Because of this

81% in Poll Say Nation Is Headed on the Wrong Track

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/04/us/04poll.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

Only 21 percent of respondents said the overall economy was in good condition, the lowest such number since late 1992, when the recession that began in the summer of 1990 had already been over for more than a year. In the latest poll, two in three people said they believed the economy was in recession today.

The unhappiness presents clear risks for Republicans in this year’s elections, given the continued unpopularity of President Bush. Twenty-eight percent of respondents said they approved of the job he was doing, a number that has barely changed since last summer. But Democrats, who have controlled the House and Senate since last year, also face the risk that unhappy voters will punish Congressional incumbents.

...

The poll found that Americans blame government officials for the crisis more than banks or home buyers and other borrowers. Forty percent of respondents said regulators were mostly to blame, while 28 percent named lenders and 14 percent named borrowers.


And This

Poll: 76 Percent Say U.S. Ready for Black President

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/03/poll.black.president/index.html

The poll also suggested that more Americans think the country is ready for a black president than a female president. Sixty-three percent of those surveyed say the country is ready for a female president, 13 points lower than those who say the country is ready for a black president.

"Do Americans see more prejudice against a woman than an African-American? More likely, they see more negative feelings about this woman than about this African-American. Because it's true. More people have an unfavorable opinion of Hillary Clinton than of Barack Obama," Schneider said.


Thanks for waking up, America!

1. The GOP will be gone for a generation
And just cause I said it doesn't mean now it's not going to happen. It will. They are gone.

2. Yeah, they'll crawl back under their rocks (think tanks, country clubs...)
and devise a way to repackage their destructive filth for the next ass-raping of America.

3. I agree. Ignore the psych/op unelectable FEAR threads. That's their strategy, not truth.
The GE polls sited here daily are mostly skewed and not worth a dime to predict an electable candidate in Nov.
