Liar, in most of the opinion polls the sample is about 1,000 people. Yes, there is more than 7% of Americans who will not vote for Obama just because of his color but most will pretend not to support Obama's policies rather than telling the truth.
Yes it's politically incorrect but race matters
Anatole Kaletsky
American Presidential elections have been compared with reality TV series or game shows, in which a gaggle of jumped-up nonentities aspiring to be celebrities are ritually humiliated in public and offered entertaining opportunities to self-destruct, until only one survivor remains. But this time round, a much more elevated analogy is sadly apposite.
The 2008 US election has all the makings of a Greek tragedy, in which noble heroes and heroines are forced to follow a course to catastrophe, divinely preordained as punishment for sins and blunders committed by their forefathers in the dim and distant past. In acting out their ineluctable doom, the eloquent protagonists do not just destroy themselves but also their cities, their nations and even their entire civilisations.
If this description sounds too grandiose, consider yesterday's results from the Pennsylvania primary. The outcome seemed to be precisely calibrated by the gods to maximise the agony of the Democrats. It gave Hillary Clinton just the support she needed to stay firmly in contention, but not quite enough to turn the tide in her favour.
Worse still, this result underlined the fear that senior Democrats have long been aware of, but have never dared to express in public: America may not yet be ready to elect a black President. Worst of all, it has created conditions for the possible election victory of a militarily belligerent and economically unqualified Republican candidate who supports many of President Bush's worst policies. Given the Bush Administration's domestic and foreign failures, the disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan and, most recently, the slump in the economy, the possibility of a Republican victory in November would seem to overturn every principle of proper democracy - and also the hope of America and its system of government being rehabilitated in the eyes of the world after the Bush years. The fact that Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton are both such impressive candidates, intelligent, sincere, articulate and in command of the issues, while John McCain does not qualify on any of these criteria only makes matters worse.
That Mrs Clinton will now carry on with her campaign is not just probable but essential. For the voting in Pennsylvania confirms that she has a much better chance than Mr Obama of winning the White House for the Democrats. According to the Associated Press exit polls published yesterday, 16 per cent of white Democratic voters considered race an important factor in the Presidential election and 43 per cent of these said they would either vote Republican or not vote at all, if Mr Obama were the Democratic nominee.
yaani kadri siku zinavyozidi kwenda ndio unazidi kuwa m-sick!! maaan,siamini kama unaweza kuandika upupu kama huo!
Mccain anasema economy ipo strong, wewe bado unashabikia tu. Palin anasema hakuunga mkono bridge to nowhere, wewe bado unashabikia tu....yaani mpaka lies ziwe ngapi ndio ukubali kwamba McCain ni Bush 44???

..sawa mie sijui kitu!! bwahahaha au mpaka na mie "nikutenyue" kama alivyofanya Njabu ndio uniheshimu?? uuunh!? PUNK!
Si una kazi hiyoo?!Nick Carney, who ran the Division of Agriculture under Republican governor Jay Hammond -- and who later went on to help launch Palin's political career -- told TPMmuckraker that Palin's appointment of Havemeister was a "payoff" to a political supporter, that was "characteristic of how Sarah operates."
Carney described Havemeister, who he knows personally (Carney's daughter was a high-school classmate of Palin's and Havemeister's) as "a very nice gal," but added: "I don't believe that she really does have those kinds of skills," needed to run the agency.
It was Carney who first convinced Palin to run for city council in 1992 -- a fact confirmed by another source who was active in Wasilla politics during the period. A council member himself at the time, Carney told TPMmuckraker that he believed the council needed someone who represented non-business interests, which then dominated the council.
WHy? Why? Why? Why is she lying about something so petty and unimportant? Answer: she is a PATHOLOGICAL Liar!At a fundraiser in Canton, Ohio, this evening, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had an interesting description of her speech to the Republican convention.
"There Ohio was right out in front, right in front of me," Palin said. "The teleprompter got messed up, I couldn't follow it, and I just decided I'd just talk to the people in front of me. It was Ohio."
This struck many of us -- who, as she spoke, followed along with her prepared remarks, and noted how closely she stuck to the script -- as an unusual claim. (Especially those of my colleagues on the convention floor at the time, reading along on the prompter with her, noticing her excellent and disciplined delivery, how she punched words that were underlined and paused where it said "pause," noting that "nuclear" was spelled out for her phonetically.) [...]
"The teleprompter did not break," wrote Politico's Jonathan Martin. "Sarah Palin delivered a powerful speech last night, but she did not 'wing it'..."
He has already made the history.The world is full of hope as Obama turns to be The only choice of the Amaricans. We sure that the ignorance of Bush about Terrorism and Iraq has made the world worse than ever. We need changes that will make the world better off.
Haya ya mwisho hii... I can't resist. Instead of blogging here kuhusu Babu yako naomba uende kufanya grassroot organizing ili apate watu wa kwenda kumsikiliza maana anaumbuka mtu mzima - people don't want to listen to him!!! Cheki jinsi alivyo pull in 3,000 people into a stadium of 16,000 (sielewi kama wanajua hawezi kujaza staidum si wangerent ukumbi tu? You GOPers are not logical, but then look at teh state of teh US economy and you have your answer - MELTDOWN!)
AIBUUUUU!
Nyaniiii! I have a teleprompter story for you! Palin is a pathological liar, she even lies about the teleprompter. Anajifanya hatumii kumbe waandishi walikuwa wanasoma speech nzima na yeye kutoka teleprompter!! Hahahaaaaa Liar liar pants on fire!! (is that sexist when applying to Palin?)
WHy? Why? Why? Why is she lying about something so petty and unimportant? Answer: she is a PATHOLOGICAL Liar!
Asante Ochu, na shukrani kwa Maggid Mjengwa kwa kujenga hoja nzuri sana kwa ajili ya mgombea Obama ambaye kwa kweli ametoka mbali na atafika mbali! Good job!
The prompter did malfunction during her speech at the convention....
Aibuuu! Na bado, Babu yako Nyani ataiishia kugomba na kutukana kila mtu!John McCain defended his campaign from charges that it has a problem with the truth and batted back suggestions that he is economically out-of-touch during appearances on all seven morning shows Tuesday.
It was an uphill task, perhaps best illuminated by the Senator's appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe. McCain was forced to redefine what he meant when he declared the "fundamentals of our economy are strong" just yesterday. He offered curt responses to charges that one of his ads falsely accuses Barack Obama of supporting sex education for kindergartners. (Later in the show, in fact, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds sent an email to host Mika Brzezinski defending the ad, which she subsequently read on air.)
Most glaringly, McCain openly sparred with Brzezinski, whom he accused of being an open supporter of Obama. Asked by the host to assess whether an ad attacking him on the economy was out of bounds, McCain replied:"I'll leave that for the American people to decide. I still say to you, and I know you are a supporter of Senator Obama, if you would urge him to come and do town all meetings with me as I have asked him to do time after time the whole tenor of the campaign would change."
The charge created an awkward and tense environment for the rest of the segment, with Brzezinski forced to note (as she has done in the past) that one of her brothers works for the McCain campaign (another brother works for Obama, and her father was once an adviser).
"Senator," she said, "as a characterized Barack Obama supporter, I take objection. I'Il just say, take care of my brother working at the campaign."
"Thanks," replied McCain, "that was a cheap shot."But the issue clearly hung over the rest of the morning. Later in the show, Brzezinski addressed it once again.
"In light of the John McCain interview, I feel I need to say not only does my brother work for the McCain campaign, but he worked for George Bush for six years," she said. "I'm proud of him."
Meanwhile, Republican strategist and former McCain aide Mike Murphy was left to explain away the Senator's humor, albeit adding that he thought the campaign's antagonism to the media had crossed a line.
"i don't think he meant it as an attack," he said. "There's definitely become a mentality inside the McCain campaign which is very hostile for anybody in the media they think is at all favorable to the other side. I think that's mistake. I think they overreact. I think doesn't do McCain well to have that mentality in the campaign. I don't really understand it because it's not his natural way."
Hahahaaaaaaaaaa! What a good morning and a great way to start the day!! Vituko vya mzee wa Gasolina vinafurahisha sana!Move over, Al Gore. You may lay claim to the Internet, but John McCain helped create the BlackBerry.
At least that's the contention of a top McCain policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin. Waving his BlackBerry personal digital assistant and citing McCain's work as a senator, he told reporters Tuesday, "You're looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create."
And in his own words, John McCain wrote his answers to Sciences Debate as follows:
"I am the former chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. The Committee plays a major role in the development of technology policy, specifically any legislation affecting communications services, the Internet, cable television and other technologies. Under my guiding hand, Congress developed a wireless spectrum policy that spurred the rapid rise of mobile phones and Wi-Fi technology that enables Americans to surf the web while sitting at a coffee shop, airport lounge, or public park."
