I think if Obama were white and named something like "John Smith," he'd be looking at a landslide victory on November 4th. It wouldn't be nearly as close as this.

How about we just wish her well and a speedy recovery. I am no fan of Obama, but wish him the best.

Answer: No.
But the fact is that this is the biggest political race in the world, and it's not a slam dunk win for Obama. As such, and due to the huge consequences of losing for either party, I don't take anything at face value - from either side.
I'd say stop slurping anything Obama and get into reality here, but, for many on here, that would necessitate actually being in reality, instead of what is distortedly viewed as such.
There's how you want it to be, and how it is.
The race for POTUS and how that is in reality conducted is what is...how you want it to be is fantasyland.

And if he didn't go, Republicans would've been screaming about how insensitive he is...Face it, you don't like the guy so no matter what he does you'll always see it in a negative light.
You are wrong: I'm still undecided on I'm voting Obama or McCain. It doeesn't really matter except for my own personal vote, as I live in Chicagoland...it's going to go Obama here no matter what.
Just because I may still vote for Obama doesn't mean I don't see this for what it could be, and that's some last minute sympathy points right before the election. The difference here is I keep an open mind, where as the Obama slurpers feel sympathetic pain greater than if it were their own grandma.
I'd say, Keep it real, but, this is P&N....an impossibility....

Look at the numbers. He won states like North Carolina based solely on the black vote. Make him a white guy and split the black vote and Hillary is on the way to the White House.

It's fine to be a skeptic, but there's no logic behind what you are saying. If he wanted to help his campaign he'd be better off staying on his schedule. Campaign rallies may not sway independents, but they do get his fervent supporters to go out and knock on doors and make phone calls on his behalf.
There's only two weeks to go and there's at least half a dozen swing states up for grabs where he could be campaigning. You really think he'd voluntary choose to take a trip to Hawaii just for a stunt? :roll:
