Many people have already made up their mind about Obama and are not planning on changing their minds. We’ll see what happens in NC - I’m still predicting a double win for the O-Man!

It’s the John Kerry thread all over again. You’re trying to argue your opinion and I’m trying to tell you your opinion doesn’t count. It doesn’t matter if you think Reverand Wright is Jesus Christ or if Senator Obama was completely unaware. What matters is public opinion and Obama is forced to react to it. The difference between Kerry and Obama is that Obama is willing to work damage control.

Is it sinking in yet?

Well, who did you think McCain was voting for in November?

Who knows? Perhaps he’ll ask his aide prior to going in the voting booth.
