i dont get how his approval numbers are still at 28%!

hip-hip-hoorah.  I'm amazed it took this long.

28% approve. 69% disapprove. What are the 3% waiting for?

Come to think of it, this sucker could get caught in bed with a live boy AND a dead girl, and the majority of Republicans would still approve of him. Can anyone say personality cult?

and didnt go online,

so just curious -- did anyone diary that 4 super
delegates came out in support of Clinton over the weekend?

Jim Florio (NJ)
Brendan Byrne (NJ)
Betty Sutton (OH)
Tim Ryan (OH)

I know Florio and Byrne endorsed her before, but they werent super delegates then.

Don't get too excited, this doesn't mean jack for November. As Republicans understand all too well, elections are all about matchups. And we're likely going in with possibly the most compromised, fatally flawed Dem candidate in modern times.

I think the remainder 28% need to be rounded up and put on the Dr. Phil Show just to find out what it is that makes them this nuts.  He should be in the minus column by now.  Can we start with Fred Barnes?  

And, yet, McCain could win.  Hmmm.  

Something wrong with this picture.

And Congressional Democrats still cave to Buish on the occupation.

Something wrong with this picture.

... his place in history is now truly assured.

And you know, the sad thing is that if he could run for a third term, I bet he'd still have an above-average chance of winning.  We as a country are that deluded.

Republican malfeasance is not an endorsement of Democratic leadership.

This is where the "anybody but Bush" bandwagon doomed Democrats in 2004.

Bush earned every point of his disapproval rating. Once, he outdid his father and became the most popular president in the history of this Republic. But he didn't learn from LBJ and got us stuck in Iraq by lying to the American people. He reduced our civil liberties, weakened our economy, and was helpless in the aftermath of Katrina. One of the worst presidents in history.

This is ONE BIG CONCEPT that majority of the liberal base NEVER EVER gets.

In fact, many of them in the liberal netroots are guilty of this.

They erroneously believe that its One plus One is automatically two.

But in many cases, its One plus One equals One game.

What is that concept?

Its the FALSE concept that just because Bush is & has been in the poll gutter for the past 8 years & seems to be at the lowest - its the VERY ERRONEOUS assumption that a Barack Obama will automatically beat a John McCain because of Poor Pollings by Bush & the Republicans.

When that is far, very far from reality.

Its a total disconnect from reality.

Just like its a TOTAL DISCONNECT that Liberals somehow TAKE CREDIT  for the 2006 Victory as some Earth moving sign of americans moving to the Left of Center.

When in reality, majority of americans were voting against Bush. But that same group of americans would have Absolutely No Quals Voting for a NEW Republican President in John McCain over a perceived "liberal with No Experience" like Obama.

All polls point to that. Can you imagine if the Economy was a little better? If Gas prices were little lower? If Iraq was somewhat better?

McCain would be beating Obama today by 15 points.

For McCain to even be in a position to either be tried or leading in states like NY,NJ,MA & PA against democratic frontrunner Obama shows HOW WEAK OUR PARTY is.

There is & never was a Change in american attitude.

A Very Clear Majority of Americans are STILL & have ALWAYS been in CENTER/ RIGHT of CENTER.

With the very brief period in the radical 60's, a Clear Majority of Americans are & have always been right in the MIDDLE & leaning right in some social issues such as marriage, guns, gays, immigration, affirmative action.

Its ALL ABOUT PERCEPTION of the Democratic Party & Democrats in general.

Always Remember history.

It Took a Joint Ticket of Two White Southern men ( Bill Clinton & Al Gore) were one was considered a moderate/conservative Southern Governor to  FINALLY WIN the WHITE HOUSE!

Then the party followed it up with GOING BACK to the old " Liberal Perceptions" that doomed people like Ted Kennedy, Jackson, Mondale, Dukakis.

We went back to two men who were considered by MAJORITY of American voters as " Tax & Spend ". Weak of National Security Liberals in Gore & Kerry.

Unfortunately, the BASE of our party NEVER has & NEVER WILL GET IT.

Let me end by REMINDING people of a Fact that many intentionally IGNORE. Hope supercedes reality for this people.

" Only 5 African-Americans have EVER won as Governor or Senator in our entire history. 4 of the 5 CAME from ONLY TWO STATES. The two which happens to be as BLUE as can be. ( IL & MA )

Only 5 have done it in a poll of 3 states.

Today, the IDEALISTIC Liberal base of the party wants to Sell Us that America, the 50 states of the United States of America can elect a VERY INEXPERIENCED Liberal African-American from Chicago into NATIONAL OFFICE.

The same america that could NOT elect Blacks to statewide office & NOW is being asked to carry a Black Man with No Experience to  WIN A NATIONAL REFERRENDUM!

This is an exercise we go thru every two decades.

jonathan, it may be difficult for democrats to lose, but don't put anything past us.  after all, we're about to nominate obama--who's just what the gop ordered to snatch our defeat from the jaws of victory.  whoo hoo!
