Hillary Clinton continues to hold a commanding lead in the race for Kentucky’s May 20th Primary:
U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton enters the final week before Kentucky’s May 20 Democratic presidential primary with a commanding 27 percentage point lead over U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, a new poll shows.
She leads the Illinois senator 58 percent to 31 percent, with 11 percent uncommitted, according to a Herald-Leader/WKYT Kentucky Poll of 500 probable Democratic voters.
But either Democratic candidate would trail the expected Republican nominee, John McCain, in the state by double digits if the November general election were held today, reveals a companion survey of 600 likely voters from all parties.
The results reinforce the expectation that Obama will lose Kentucky, even as he seems on the verge of securing the Democratic nomination.
(…)
Clinton dominated Obama among most demographic groups in the poll, supported by about 60 percent of men, women and white Democrats.
Obama was the choice of 78 percent of blacks.
Whether this will mean anything in the end, of course, is another question.

It is now a proven fact that Obama can not hold up in states that are vital to a democratic win. This is extremely telling for the democratic party. Also with the votes and voices of the peoples of FL and MI still being totally ignore by the DNC, this makes for a very harsh reality for the Democratic nominee if infact that nominee is Obama in the General Election. Without the full support of these two states alone The democratic party has not a chance in the general. Even if the DNC seats the delegates of FL and MI it will not make a difference to the voters now, because the damage has already been done and McCain will hold a victory in those two states.
Obama with all the dirt behind his nomination will not win in the general against McCain this is a fact. Who wants a black racist who condones such hate as shown by his Rev. and life long friend Rev. Wright. And common sense people are not foolish enough to believe that Obama didn’t know about Wright and his church of Haters. He Knew and participated in the ignoreance.
West Virginia and Kentucky are yet two more states that the Democratic nominee can not do without in a general election. Obama and a Democratic party win is un-achieveable. Sadly to say the democratic party did this deed to themself.

And while we are on the subject of Democrats. As we speak, and as the democratic nominees campaign, Congressional Democrats are working hard and under handedly to push and Amnesty Immigration bill through by attaching it to a spending bill????? Oh just when American was not looking they attempt such a foolish trick to give Amnesty to more than 20 million illegal immigrants, those to which they use our hard earned tax dollars to pay for???????????? this is by far the most shameful attempt of this party.
And on top of this, they are attempting to cut off or retract funding for the borders which will mean that anything and everything from drug dealers to terrorist would pass freely into our country and do whatever they came to do.
I changed my vote from republican to independent so i could vote for the best man or women for the presidential seat, but the best women (Clinton)is down, the other (Obama)is a white man hater, And (McCain) more of the same. With the grit that lays on the heels of Obama makes more of the same sound like the best choice.
