Do you mean we're actually supposed to believe that every pollster in America got it wrong? Maybe it was the Bradley effect, as when former Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley ran for governor and the polls said he would win, but the truth be known White Californians didn't walk their talk.
I choose to take the high road for now and believe that Barack Obama needed to bring it during the debates. It's all about the Benjamins ---if we are to believe the exit polls that say the economy ranked highest in importance for Democrats. It's time for all the candidates to tell the American people what and how they are going to fix this hot mess-- skyrocketing oil prices, credit crisis, inflation and dare I say recession.
Barack Obama, the devil is in the details and if you are going to get your groove back, you need to set the big vision and plateaus aside for now and tell folks what you are going to do. As an accomplished attorney, it's time to make your case to the most important jury of all -- the American electorate--and the issue that matters most.

Barack Obama can't fixed the economy! Obama can't fix the economy because he has yet to disavow the failed free trade policy that is destroying America's working middle class. Barack is a card carrying member of the "ruling class." He is an avowed globalist, his race notwithstanding. Just asked his fellow globalist, John Kerry. As revealed in the South Carolina debate, Sen. Obama signed and approved the free trade agreement with Peru. When one listens to Obama's feeble economic solutions it should remind us of Ronald Reagan's "voodoo economics." I see and judge the Dems thru a working middle class prism. The candidate that moves the farthest away from the failed and destructive free trade policy and closer to a fair trade policy will win the Dems' nomination and the general election. John Edwards has it mostly right but this election it is not about the poor. The election is about the working middle class not becoming poor!To the extent that Sen. Obama remembers that four years ago he was part of the working middle class and offer both short term and long term economic policies that keep the working middle class from becoming poor, then he is no more than John "the globalist" Kerry in black face.

For those of you who don't think Obama has a platform think about the platform the last person had that you voted for...In my oppinion Obama deserves the same chance that we have given all the other candidates of whom had less experience or non at all...

Haters in the house make me want to puke! Senator Obama is the "truth" personified! Those who turn a blind eye and muted ear to this fact need to face the reality that Senator Clinton will not, I repeat will not be able to get anything done if she is elected President. She does not know how to endear people of differing opinion to work together. She is on a power trip. Possession of Presidential powers does not necessarily translate into Congressional cooperation. It is my opinion that if Senator Clinton wins the Presidency things will go from bad as they are now to worse.
