Obama on Small-Town Pennsylvania...

[Keystone Phil]

Keep up that attack on the religious, Barack! Motivate that GOP base!

agreeing a Hillary win of about 6-8 points or "moderate" single digits and one of them said Obama would win Philly 60-40 and that he needs to focus of Montgomery[sp?] County.

Seems right to me though he'll probably do a bit better in Philly.

[Keystone Phil]

Looks like someone is "bitter" about not being able to win Pennsylvania...

[Keystone Phil]

Bravo. Well said.....

But no, issues like the economy and Iraq don't matter. We must motivate people to be afraid of the black liberal boogieman. This controversy helps frame the clear contrast between the politics of the past--fear--and the politics of the future--hope.

Already blaming it on race...

Anyway, I've always loved how the Dems can pick and choose what is an issue and what's not. Basically, anything that motivates social conservatives doesn't count.

Never said that. Again, there's nothing inherently wrong or inferior about voting on those issues; Obama's statement was just one of fact, that when people feel no hope on issues like the economy, they turn to others. It's our fault as Democrats as much as anything for allowing those bread and butter issues to fall off people's radar screens.

You are saying that they aren't as important. You're saying that their economic well being ought to be their top priority but because you guys let it fall off the radar, they turn to other issues. You're suggesting that social issues are only important when people lose hope on economic issues and that's wrong. It's that patronizing, elitist attitude that only pisses us off even more. Don't tell me why these issues are important to me or anyone else.

Except when he loses, that'll be the only thing you blame it on.

I think its funny both Clinton and McCain are calling Obama the elitist when both candidates probably have more money and more wealth than Obama could ever imagine having. What a load

Elitism isn't just based on wealth.

Elitism isn't just based on wealth.

Sorry...I forgot...Obama obviously cant connect with "new america" or "old america" or whatever bullsh!t accusations McCain and Clinton are flinging around.

...or I'm simply pointing out that elitism is about intellectual snobby behavior and you don't like that. 

[Keystone Phil]

I dont understand why people are getting so riled up about it, except because they are hacks and are just trying to find a reason to bash Obama and label him a bad person. If your not bitter and frustrated and your life is in the dumps isnt it natural for people to turn to religion for help...I mean isnt that kinda the point? Again this is something thats being blown way out of proportion by the MSM and the opposition. Im definately not surprised though....very dissapointed though.

...or because some of us are the type of people he essentially talked down to.

Lead story on the local news again.

I wonder how the black preachers are going to handle this one tomorrow...
