Yes, we can.

Sorry... I forgot the in my last post.

I see this thread and ALWAYS say "NO WE CAN'T!"

And since the exit polls have been significantly off in many of the recent primaries (after all it was because of misleading exit polls that the networks waited a couple hours before officially calling PA for Clinton despite her fairly large margin) how reliable should that data be considered when trying to break it down into ever smaller cohorts?

I think this will all much ado about nothing. There'll be about three months between the last primary and the Democratic convention. Even if Hillary has not yet conceded, it will all be choreographed to put on a good show. There'll be lots of good, inspiring speeches that remind people that this election is not about Hillary vs. Obama or even voting against McCain. It's about voting against Bush (whom McCain is increasingly starting to resemble.) Then, the Republicans will have their convention a week later. They'll do their best with what they have, but it will all be capped by McCain, who, in addition to his other shortcomings, is the worst speaker ever. No one who said "I'd rather vote for McCain than the other Democrat" will stick by it.

Every time soneone critiques Obama(wow, critiqing someone who is running for President, what's the world coming to) we hear the usual "why don't we talk about the issues and leave his character, bowling skills and business deals alone"

but when someone asks Obama about the issues all Obama wants to do is be left alone to eat waffles

One ducked question does not a dodger make. The funny--or telling--thing about the clip is that he obviously didn't want to eat the damn diner waffle in the first place. As you can tell by looking at him, he is not a high carb kind of guy. From what I read, he didn't finish the waffle and at another stop he handed off his fries to somebody else.

Oh, I agree and actually felt sorry for him and every politician who has to go and do the diner thing...there he is, trying to act like he is enjoying a food he normally wouldn't ever eat and just when he is about to take a bite a reporter asks him a serious, albeit a little off the wall, question about Jimmy Carter and Hamas.

Still, this question was totally about the issues and unless its' slipped past my radar remains unanswered.

Well, at least he plays a good game of basketball. He should challenge Hillary to a game. Loser has to eat waffles and fries.

Really, Jeff- I don't for a moment think that you care a bit about his opinion regarding Carter's trip. I also really don't think it matters squat as an issue, at least when compared to the many, many others that come to mind as I type this. It must be hell being a candidate sometimes- everyone wants the perfect soundbite response to questions that are either complex, poorly posed or just plain asinine. McCain would have just told the reporter to **** off, and maybe shoved him as he said it.

I didn't...but since he has been dodging this question my curiosity is piqued.

After laying a wreath in honor of the murderous Yasser Arafat, Carter dutifully agreed to deliver a letter from kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit to his parents on behalf of the terrorists who are holding him hostage. Shalit's father rightly jeered Carter as nothing more than a postman for Hamas.


After Carter asserted that the State Department never clearly opposed his trip, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pointed out that she had explicitly warned him against meeting with Hamas. Not to mention all those bold-faced, unequivocal headlines before the trip announcing that "State Department opposes Carter meeting with Hamas chief" (USA Today) and "Rice Criticizes Carter for Reported Meeting Planned With Hamas" (Fox News).


What part of "Don't meet with the Jew-hating killers, you idiot!" didn't Carter understand?
