Dems Virtually Assured Victory, Pessimist Reports, Tempting Fate

A new Rasmussen poll shows that if Barack Obama were to face Mitt Romney in the general election, he would trounce him by 12 percentage points. Fred Thompson fared slightly better against the black Harvard man, losing by just 7 percentage points. Another Rasmussen poll indicated that John Edwards could route Republicans on a scale resembling the 65-13 Oklahoma-University of Texas game of 2003. (Oddly, Rasmussen hasn't run the Clinton matchups, but other polls have predicted Hillary faring poorly in the general election.) I cautioned in a previous post against counting on a Democratic victory, but now I'm wondering, why even bother to hold a general election, when polls show that Americans believe Dems are better suited to lead even on issues that Republicans have historically owned, such as national security (46 percent trust Democrats more) and taxes (the Democrats lead 47 to 42 percent)? Democrats enjoy double-digit advantages on ethics and government corruption and the war in Iraq as well as on their traditional issues, including education, social security, immigration, and health care.

Obama, the AfroAmerican candidate is the winning candidate for the Democratic Party. But unfortunately, that will not happen. The powers that be want Senator Clinton because she understands that it is wise to follow the suggested policies of AIPAC(Zionists). Obama would not be so compliant. He would be too uppity. The Zionists contribute 60% of the money of the Democratic party and the one that has the most money wins.
