Subject: stop your Obama whining
However you feel about Obama, his strategy is working and he is currently the front-runner by a healthy margin.
All you have to do to confirm this is ignore national
polls (which he leads consistently by 3-8 points) and
look at the pollster.com electoral composite.
According to their figures, if the election were held today
Obama would win with 289 electoral votes to 157
with 97 electoral votes being tossups.
It doesn't take a mathematical genius to figure
out that even if EVERY toss-up state went to McCain
(practically impossible) he would STILL lose.
So you may not like his tactics, but they are working, for now.
Also come the Repub convention McCain's hands
are going to be tied financially, while Obama will have
nearly unlimited funds due to his retreat from
public financing.
Furthermore, Obama's campaign is fighting back
on every line of attack. The Ad-wars are in full swing
and he's not letting McCain have an inch of uncontested
ground. You should be paying attention to this.
I was surprised when I didn't see this Obama
quote on your website:
" it's like these guys [the republicans] take
pride in being ignorant" after they made fun of his
statement about people inflating their tires.

You're worries are not founded in reality, and
since you call yourself
a hammer for truth it'd be great if you got on
the boat for once.
Currently I find you commentary to be really biased;
it is frustrating to read from one of our own.

Gabe, I hope you're right about that.
I hope you write to me the day after the election and say,
"See, what did I tell you? I told you back
on Aug 8 that he was going to win."
I really hope I get that e-mail from you.
