If he doesn't, the contest is rigged!!!!
"McCain courts skeptical blacks at NAACP event" by Associated Press And Globe Staff | July 17, 2008
CINCINNATI - Republican John McCain, who skipped the NAACP convention along other Republican presidential hopefuls during the primaries last year, received mostly polite applause in a room with some empty seats, two days after Democrat Barack Obama received a thunderous reception from a standing-room only audience hoping to see him become the first black president of the United States.
McCain seemed to acknowledge that he is unlikely to win significant support from black voters in November - a reality made clear in a New York Times/CBS News poll published yesterday that shows McCain with a paltry 5 percent approval rating among African-Americans. In the poll, 57 percent of blacks say they have an unfavorable view of McCain.
During a question-and-answer session, McCain also sought to assuage a frustrated Head Start teacher who said her salary from the federal program simply isn't enough.
The woman, wearing a union T-shirt, said she was making $17,000 a year and cannot afford housing, gas, food, or healthcare for her children. "We cannot continue this way," she said.
--MORE--"
No, you are right, lady. We can't.
At least Johnny can count on the Hispanics, 'eh?
"A New York Times/CBS News poll found that Mr. Obama leads Mr. McCain among Hispanic voters by 62 percent to 23 percent."
All right, at least there are the WOMEN (whom make up a MAJORITY) of the country, right?
"Planned Parenthood ad takes a swing at McCain
The Planned Parenthood Action Fund is among the groups trying to convince women - particularly those who backed Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primaries - that they should throw their support to Barack Obama. McCain, they argue, has a flawed record on women's issues, including opposition to abortion rights.
Then why is ZNN, I mean, CNN pushing the exact opposite on their "news" shows?
WTF?!
"The more women know about McCain, they more they see that John McCain is out of touch on women's healthcare," Cecile Richards, the fund's president, said in a statement accompanying the ad. "This ad is a powerful visual showing women that John McCain has no answer when it comes to protecting women's health."
Isn't it nice to know that abortion is the litmus test for women?
I'm glad women don't care about other issues like war, peace, the economy, etc, etc.
It's ALL ABOUT ABORTION!!!!
The spot will air on shows with high female viewership, including the season premiere of "Project Runway," one of Bravo's highest rated shows; Lifetime's top-rated show, "Army Wives"; and "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in select markets, the group said. It will air in key battleground states, including Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, and Wisconsin, as well as in Washington, D.C. (Boston Globe July 17 2008)."
Yeah, women don't watch news programs or anything.
They like Bravo, Lifetime or Oprah!
Please, someone tell me where the complaints are from the SEXISM crowd?
(Blog author hearing nothing but crickets chirping. WTF?)
