AOL Straw Poll: March 3-10

March 3, 2008 -- BROOKLYN Assemblyman Dov Hikind yesterday predicted that Jewish voters would make "a mass movement toward Sen. McCain" if Barack Obama knocks Hillary Rodham Clinton out of the race in tomorrow's critical Democratic primaries.
Hikind, an Orthodox Jew whose Borough Park district includes the largest Hasidic bloc in the United States, blasted Obama for what he called his half-hearted support of Israel and his ties to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., who has repeatedly praised anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has endorsed Obama.
Hikind, a Democrat who has yet to endorse a candidate for president, said Obama had not satisfactorily distanced himself from Wright, his Chicago-based personal pastor, noting, "This is a man who thinks Farrakhan is a great guy and God's gift to the world."
Hikind went on, "Obama has said that you can be a supporter of Israel even if you're for giving up land to the Arabs, which is true - but for a guy running for president to take a position like this in advance of getting into office, combined with everything else going on in the Middle East, that scares the hell out of me.
"There are a hell of a lot of Jews who are concerned about these issues, and they go way beyond Hasidic and Orthodox Jews, people I describe as conservative Reagan/Giuliani Democrats," said Hikind, who backed Ronald Reagan's presidential campaigns in 1980 and 1984.
Hikind's warning about Jewish concerns over Obama are being widely but privately voiced among top New York Democrats.
"There is anxiety, there is concern, on the part of a lot of important Jewish Democrats in New York," one of the state's most influential Democratic activists told The Post.
Hikind, meanwhile, said he believed last week's controversy over Obama appearing in Somali garb during a visit to his father's native Kenya would have no impact on Jewish voters.
"Something like that by itself doesn't mean anything," he said.
Obama, who has repeatedly condemned Farrakhan for making anti-Semitic remarks, rejected his endorsement under pressure from rival Hillary Rodham Clinton during a debate last week.
But while Obama has pushed Wright into the background of his campaign, Obama remains a member of his church.

Why aren't you including Ralph Nader in this poll?

I find it strange that I just voted for Hillary, but when the map came up, it showed only one person had voted in my state!!! .....and Barack Obama with 100%!!! Where did my vote go? I refreshed the page and still only one vote in my state!! F you AOL!

Don't let the media pick your President!

Vote for Hillary!

hILLARY STILL HAS WON THE BIG STATES...OBAMA HAS YET TO CLOSE THE DEAL....I BELIEVE IT WILL BE A GOOD SHOW FOR CLINTON IN OHIO...IT IS THE BIG STATES THAT COUNT....GO HILLARY

Hillary supporters are spreading the word that we can still win this because the media is promoting Obama, the sure person for McCain to beat.

The media is ran by republican men who want to see McCain win. So naturally, they are going to promote whom ever they see will be an easy victory.

Why do you think any bad press that is surfacing about O-BOMB-A is being blamed on Hillary? Instead of focusing on the information being leaked about Obama, they focus on blaming who leaked it. They are trying to make us blind to the facts.

Do the research and you will see Obama is not telling us the real truth. If we can't trust him now, will we ever be able to?

Don't be fooled by the media. Vote for Hillary '08

Let's go Ohio and Texas and Rhode Island and Vermont...Let's vote for Hillary so that our next President is a Democrat! GO HILLARY!!!!
Let the people speak and not the biased media bashing our candidate!

Barack Hussein Obama in his own words …

From “Dreams of my Father”, Page 92

“I poured myself a drink and let my eyes skip across the room: bowls of pretzel crumbs, overflowing ashtrays, empty bottles like a skyline against the wall. Great party. That’s what everybody had
said: COUNT ON BARRY AND HASAN TO ROCK THE HOUSE”.

Obama has a muslim roommate … Obama has a muslim father … Obama has a muslim stepfather … and Obama is not muslim?

The biased media won't report the truth. The only thing Obama has done as "Senator" is "run for President"! If he can't do his Senate job---he surely can't lead our country. He has no experience. If Obama would get specific, and people could realize exactly what his idea of “change” is, I suspect that the candidate would appear a little less like a knight on a white horse and more like a normal politician. It’s obvious, he has no plan---only the gift of gab. Vote Hillary!

How does this story have legs and worth reporting if the urging comes from jerk obama supporters. She ought to stay in and do as much damage as she can. Obama attacked her as if she were a republican he is the opposite of his message anyway so having john mccain be our president is our best bet anyway if its not Hillary. Sorry barack supporters but do you really believe he will be president, try to picture it? He is just a fruad people will find that out sooner or later and he will not be the president of the united states. There are already signs of buyers remorse by the people that voted obama in prior states.

Obama and his supporters are just so lovely now I know the meaning of this new style of politics and positivity and bringing everyone together Barack Obama keeps talking about. Its making death threats to black politicians that support Hillary, its about lying and twisting words and whinning and crying to the media when things dont go your way or somebody points out an excellent point that doesnt portray obama in a glorious light. Thats the change and positivity he was talking about. Thats all obama portrays and his supporters nastiness and negativity nothing here about positivity and bringing everyone together. How do you guys expect to win the white house when you do not even represent your message. This will come out and look at all these lovely blogs that we can all refrerence to show that His campaign is all about politics as usual and mudslinging and threatening to kill people and their family if they do not support Obama. Obama has not even made any remarks on making personal threats on people so I guess that means he wants you guys to continue to do that he agrees with it. Anybody that bothers to do their homework on Barack obama i'll leave his middle name out because I know its a crime to use it but anyway the more you learn about Obama the further you will move away from him.

I think even the Obamamaniacs are getting SICK of Obama! NoooooooooooooBAMA!

O- Oh
B- Boy
A- Another
M- Mistake
A- Again

" NO, We Won't! "

I suppose it is too much to ask of Obama supporters to read the
following material and appreciate the arrogance and ignorance
displayed by Senator Barack Obama, but folks, it appears he is going
to do for Africa what George Bush has done for Iraq. Only worse. He
is taking sides in a tribal war in Kenya that is on the verge of
becoming a Rwanda-like genocide.

YOU ALL ARE GOING TO BE CRYING AFTER YOU VOTE OBAMA OR MCCAIN IN AND WE SIT HERE FOR YEARS WITH HIGH GAS PRICES AND A SINKING ECONOMY.
HILLARY CAN REPAIR IT.
8 YEARS OF GREAT ECONOMY DURING THE CLINTON YEARS SPEAK OF HER EXPERIENCE WHETHER FIRST OR SECOND HAND AS FIRST LADY.
OBAMA AND MCCAIN HAVE LITTLE OR NO ECONOMIC BACKGROUND.

NELSONVILLE, Ohio (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama says he's tired of

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) - Barack Obama's senior economic policy adviser privately told Canadian officials to view the debate in Ohio over trade as "political positioning," according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press that was rejected by the adviser and held up Monday as evidence of doublespeak by rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The memo is the first documentation to emerge publicly out of the meeting between the adviser, Austan Goolsbee, and officials with the Canadian consulate in Chicago, but Goolsbee said it misinterprets what he told them. The memo was written by Joseph DeMora, who works for the consulate and attended the meeting.

Questions linger over developer's Obama deal
Fallout from his relationship with politically connected Rezko dogs
him still


Tony Rezko was obviously in trouble. He was a defendant in at least a
dozen lawsuits, federal investigators in Chicago were poking around,
and his name was in newspaper articles about corruption and fraud.

None of that stopped Mr. Rezko, a politically connected developer,
and Senator Barack Obama from completing real estate deals a few
years ago that resulted in the Obamas obtaining their dream house and
the Rezkos buying an empty lot next door.

Nearly three years later, fallout from Mr. Obama’s relationship
with Mr. Rezko, who raised more than $150,000 for Mr. Obama’s
campaigns, continue to dog Mr. Obama on the presidential campaign
trail. That distraction promises to linger as Mr. Rezko goes on trial
on corruption charges starting Monday.
