DEL.ICIO.USPlouffe: Georgia ‘very competitive’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
David Plouffe, Barack Obama’s national campaign manager, just told reporters on a conference call that the Democratic presidential candidate plans to fight for Georgia’s 15 electoral votes.
Georgia, Plouffe said, is “a big state with a lot of electoral votes,” and one that he said is in play.
“We think Georgia is very competitive,” Plouffe said.
He specifically disputed the notion that Obama will make a show of competing in red states like Georgia just to force Republican John McCain to spend money defending what normally is safe turf.
“There is not a head fake in any of these states,” Plouffe said. “There is a path to victory in each of these states. We’re playing aggressively in states we think we can win.”
Obama last week launched the first television ads of the general election here when went up on the air in Georgia and 17 other states.
Plouffe referenced a poll released last week by Atlanta-based Insider Advantage that showed Obama and McCain essentially tied, as McCain’s 1-point lead fell within the margin of error.
That poll, Plouffe said, reflected their own belief on the state of the race here. “That’s where we think it is,” he said.
No Democrat has carried the state in a presidential election since 1992 and the state hasn’t been competitive since 1996.

Outside of liberal/left Atlanta and maybe a few pockets in Macon and Savannah, Obama is hardly “in play” in Georgia. They are only kidding themselves.

The libs/democrats in the media are setting their fellow supporters up for failure. The recent “polls” showing Obama up by 15 points are completely bogus. They polled 21% of Republicans, 25% of Independents, and over 30% Democrats. Of course he is up if you poll more democrat voters than anybody else. Nowadays whenever I read anything in the Nyslimes, the LATimes, the Washington Compost, Newsweek, or the Urinal Constipation my first reaction is, “Gee I wonder if that is true.” I am so sick of the media fawning over this inexperienced Marxist. Obama is being propped up by the media, and that will make his loss even more painful to his sheep like following. Peace.

Georgia voters show a strong tendency to cast ballots based on personality — of which Obama has a lot.
Georgia voters (Republican and Democratic) also show a proclivity to vote in favor of Democrats for statewide office who have good personalities and do a good job.
For example: — State A.G. Thurbert Baker — reelected in 2006 with 57 percent. — State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond — reelected in 2006 with 55 percent.

If Georgia remain a red state and vote for old man McCain it would help contribute to another four years of the George Bush era if that happens people of Georgia need to stop complaining about high gas prices, the war, and the economy and support Old Man McCain in offshore drilling for oil, his 99 year war that will eventually lead to a draft, and more layoffs . Therefore when that happens don’t complain in the AJC about it you contribute to it with your vote.
People how can you vote Republican when they are continuing killing America as well as our reputation People of Georgia let’s not be known like our neighbor state Florida in 2000 and contribute to another four to eight years of voting for failure let’s set an example and vote for change. We have nothing to lose our country is already a mess so let’s stand up try to live and enjoy this 21st century the right way while we are still living and breathing. Have some sense and vote for Obama .

Even rural Georgia is no longer enamored with the Republican party. No one is. With campaigns focusing on registering voters (isn’t that a thought…bringing more people in the process as a campaign strategy…that was a bright idea) Georgia is in a unique position to change for the better and make an influence not only in the Executive but also the Senate. Georgia will go to Obama, but a real change that could benefit Georgia is in the Senate. We just need a supporter of Obama to unseat Chambliss. The only person for that job is Vernon Jones. All these other democrats need to stand support Vernon instead of delaying the inevitable and forcing a run-off and wasting valuable time that could help him unseat Chambliss. Politics as usual. I bet some of these other so called “democrats” are Republicans in disguise…you never know these days.

McCain has spent years taking alternative views as to Bush and most of his policies. This Bush is McCain, McCain is Bush meme will not work. The lib media you lefties worship, established McCain as the Maverick. You guys need to come up with something else. The “McSame” argument does not hold water. Nice try, though. If that is all you have, then once the new rubs off Obama you guys will have one heckuva problem. Peace.

What really worries me about Obama is how he says that both Republicans and Democrats need to come together because we are all Americans first.
It would be really terrible if we worked together on solving America’s problems instead of blaming each other for them!
This “working together” idea must be some kind of Afro-centric notion from Obama’s zulu heritage… it won’t float here in Georgia, where we like to tar n’ feather libruls, deep fry ‘em, and have ‘em with a side of grits…

Well, now, that makes me mad — Somebody is using my name. Betty Boop did not write the 6:38 pm entry. Betty writes with more skill than that. Oh, well, I suppose imitation is the “sincerest form of flattery” so they say. But at least you ought to make it a decent imitation.By the way, Churchill, I finally found something we agree on — Saxby is slime. Saxby is a Repugnican. You know why Ga’s in play? Betty Boop knows. When McCain whines about how he supports veterans, how he believes in the job our soldiers are called upon to do, how he respects them, and then votes against a bill to help veterans and Obama voted for it, then folks here take notice. Yeah, they take notice herein Atlanta and over in Columbus and in Tifton and Savannah and everywhere military folks are gathered. Yeah, they sure take notice. Georgia is in play and it isn’t confined to Atlanta. The issues that you are so afraid to talk about — the economy, schools, health care, the environment, the war, veterans, oil prices — are the issues that every one of us faces in daily life and that happens in Douglas, in Oscilla, in Thomaston and Rabun Gap, in Blue Ridge and Camilla. No, it isn’t just Atlanta.

Mike, take an economics class. You sound like a fool. Do you have any idea what you are talking about. Or are you just regurgitating some Democratic talking point. Do you know what a speculator does? Do you know what it means to speculate on something in the market. Speculation is the market, you fool. People take risk. Sometimes it works out and you make a ton of cash. Sometimes it doesn’t and you lose everything. It is the market economy in action. Really go to a book store and read up before you pop off. I do not want you to embarrass yourself any more than you already have.

The exact same people who are saying Obama is a Muslim told you in 2000 that McCain was unbalanced due to his being a prisoner of war and might do something crazy. They also took the noble act of McCain of adopting an African child and made it ugly by saying it was his illegitimate child. These same people know Obama went to a Christian church and had Jeffrey Wright as his minister and a Catholic priest visited his church. They pretend they don’t know the difference just like with McCain who I supported in 2000 when they swift boated him. Now it is Obama’s turn to be swift boated by these same people.

How man people did it take to remove his lips off the white butt he was kissing. Look at the pathetic butt kissing ad.

Now who are taking their point of view from party talking points.
Obama is an elitist or arrogant?
Out of all of the people that was running for the office of the president of the USA from both parties, Obama is the only one that was raised by a single mother, whose family had to use welfare at one time and who attended college on a scholarship.
Now how does that make you arrogant or an elitist. That is the quintessential American story of making your success by hard work. Now if that makes him arrogant, more people in this country need to have his “arrogance”.

Hey Steven King has written dozens of books not just two lets vote for him! Obama needs to go home to his racist church and tell America that in 20 years of listening to his pastors racist tirades that he never once said AMEN BROTHER! Yea I believe that! The man is not qualified is a racist and will set race relations back 40 years if he gets the chance. He has no clue as to what to do about the economy, foreign relations, gun control which he lies about constantly, abortion, taxes, you name it and he has no experience with it!

The same people who are saying Obama has no change in GA are the same people who get drunk off Bud Lights at the bowling alley.
Do you realize people have been mobilizing and registering new voters ever since the early days of the primary? Do you realize African American’s will be out in full force on election day? I think some of you are underestimating the black population in GA, and I’m not just talking Atlanta. Look on Obama’s website. There are hundreds of unity and voter registration meetings in GA THIS SATURDAY ALONE!! . And this has been going on for months.
The Obama campaign is downplaying their strength in GA. It’s their strategy. Let the media/ McCain think it will be a hard, uphill fight, then surprise everyone in November. I love it.
I will be registering new voters and donating money this weekend. Please do the same!!!

The Senate isn’t designed to be a place where one or two stars get to have all the glory for passing signature bills. While we do have legislation that, in the end, is come to be known by the names of the Senators who sponsor it (McCain-Feingold, for instance), the more deliberative of our two legislative bodies shouldn’t really be portrayed the way.

The GOP’s brand of southern conservatism ala W/Delay/Falwell/Dobson/Perdfus was already flatly rejected nationwide in 2006 and now the wave is finally hitting Georgia. The conservative folks on this board are plain delusional. Georgia might not turn for Obama, but it’s going to be very close either way. 18-29 year olds pulled Democratic ballots by a margin of 174,000 to 100,000. That probably includes a lot of children of Republicans. African American turnout is going to be historic and The Republican margins in Cobb, Gwinnett, and North Fulton will be much slimmer than years past. The Atlanta suburbs are turning on redneck conservatism.

Still waiting for a list of Obama’s legislative accomplishments
Yawn… asked and answered, dozens of times on the AJC blogs, pretty much every day, in response to the right-wing parrots who aren’t interested in the answer:
ETHICS REFORM Obama was the Senate’s point person on ethics reform, and sponsored or co-sponsored the bills that made up what the Washington Post called “the strongest ethics legislation to emerge from Congress yet.” I’m also a fan of this bill, which I think of as the Journalists, Bloggers, and Citizens’ Muckraking Empowerment Act: it creates a searchable database of recipients of federal grants and contracts.
NUCLEAR SAFETY The Lugar-Obama initiative to strengthen the Nunn-Luger framework for securing loose nukes, and to extend it to securing and destroying stockpiles of conventional arms. (For instance, shoulder-fired missiles that could be used against passenger airlines, fired at our forces, or used to make any number of ongoing conflicts more deadly.)
EMERGENCY RESPONSE Various bills concerning the response to Hurricane Katrina, including an amendment putting strict limits on the use of no-bid contracts after disasters, requiring planning for the evacuation of people with special needs and senior citizens, creating a National Emergency Family Locator System, etc.
And, of course, much much more: http://obsidianwings.blogs.com/obsidian_wings/2008/02/solutions-adden.html
Not that you’re interested in the facts, of course. You’re just repeating Rush’s slogan “Obama’s unqualified!” and hoping people will be convinced enough to vote for…

Frankly, we have lot more to fear from redneck, race-hating, unwashed and uneducated, gun-toting, pseudo-Repugnicans.

I wish there were more young people from single parent homes who grew up poor but with pride with a willingness to work for everything they achieve. Overweening and unearned elitism is arrogance, but Obama has earned the right, if anyone has, to be proud of his accomplishments.Betty Boop would also like to direct the flag-wavers to the fact that McCain, despite his public preaching about our glorious battle veterans, voted against the most recent bill to afford better benefits, health care, etc. to returning veterans. Obama voted for our vets. No who is putting his money where his mouth is, Hmmmm?Betty Boop says Repugnicans have nothing substantive to say. And after eight years, most of it with an absolutely free reign in both houses of Congress, the Repugnicans have created a failing economy, no improvement in schools, high gas prices, no improvement in health care and left you with a debt your grandchildren will have to struggle to payoff. It is time we yanked them away from their pork feeding-frenzy and sent them packing. It is time we quit rewarding liars and their syncophants.

McCain is no Conservative. And no Christian. He doesn’t attend church on a regular basis. He divorced his first wife after she was handicapped in an accident. Abandoned his kids. Married a woman who could be his daughter in order to enter politics. Got run out of the service over his cheating with subordinates and over worse. Lies about his time in Vietnam. Made an anti-American film for the commies while in Vietnam. Calls his second wife a “cun*” and a “trollop”. This guy ain’t no Christian and that is why Conservative Christians aren’t working for him and why we won’t vote for him. Period. When he gets stomped we can rebuild the GOP the right way.
