In last night's post-debate analysis on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, James Carville proclaimed that Barack Obama will be the slam dunk winner of the election in November. However, he followed up by hinting at riots if Obama were to lose. Here is the transcript of the discussion. First David Gergen keeps bringing up the race factor as an excuse for a possible Obama loss (emphasis mine):
ANDERSON COOPER: But if you look at the CNN poll which Campbell Brown just told us about the short time ago, on the economy, Obama 59 percent and McCain 36 percent. David Gergen, do you agree with John King and James Carville that if those numbers continue it's basically game over?
DAVID GERGEN: I think it's too early to declare victory Anderson, because Barack Obama is black. And until we play out the issue of race in this country, I don't think we'll know and maybe unless -- late in the campaign.
COOPER: Do you think that despite the lead in the polls, people might change their minds once they're actually in the voting booth?GERGEN: I'm not sure the polls are totally believable, I think there's -- there maybe built in. Over the years there's a study now that's come out of Stanford University and Associate Press along with Yahoo, saying that is -- that his blackness may cost him as much as six points I think he's in a commanding position coming out of this second debate. Having won two, having done as well as he has, I think he's established in the public's mind now that he is certainly as qualified to be president as John McCain.
And that's a -- and he's come a long way in this and I think it's much more sure-footed, he's very presidential tonight. But we don't know what the race factor in America now. I think until this plays; it could close on this before it's over.
JEFFREY TOOBIN: Obviously we don't know what the race factor is but I do think it's important to remember that in the primaries the polls were very accurate. There was not this Bradley affect. There's not the line to pollsters business. So I think that --
COOPER: You're shaking your head.
JOHN KING: I give you the state of New Hampshire.
TOOBIN: Well, that was a very fast moving situation where it's just one week between Iowa and New Hampshire.
COOPER: It may actually kind of play into this in terms of how these candidates were perceived tonight.
CAMPBELL BROWN: Yes, I think we have the graphics ready for this. And this is a little more generic but who expressed his views more clearly in the debate. 60 percent said Obama, McCain 30 percent. Who spent more time attacking his opponent; McCain 63 percent, to Obama's 17 percent. Who seemed to be the strongest leader in the debate; 54 percent for Obama to 43 percent.
GERGEN: That's interesting.
BROWN: And who was more likable? Obama 65 percent to McCain 28 percent, so Obama pretty much crushing him in the most of these polls.
COOPER: And David Gergen which is the one that the most interest you.
GERGEN: The leaders, because John McCain went into this with a huge lead on the leadership question. And Barack Obama was the orator, the celebrity, but he didn't seem to have that gravitas in the sense of command that you look for in a president. And he's come a long way in establishing his bona fide on this. I think he shoot both of this debates -- I think he's been far better in both of this debates than he was with Hillary.
COOPER: Go -- go ahead Dana.
DANA BASH: Just on the leadership question, that, I think is what is probably so hurtful to John McCain right now is that they understand how bad the economic numbers are for them. And that's why they have been trying to turn the debate not so much about the economy, but to who is going to be the best person, who do you really trust to take us out of this.
COOPER: So David Gergen's point though on race, Suzanne is that something you hear -- but do you really trust this other guy to take you to where he says he's going to go. And if he's losing the voters on the leadership question, that is going to be a lot harder to sell. On the racial issue Suzanne, is that something you hear from Obama's people in the campaign? I mean are they concerned about the discrepancy between where the polls are and where they may really be?
SUZANNE MALVEAUX: Well, I just spoke at an Obama aide before the debate who said you know they would love have to the election tonight if they could, just because of all the support, the numbers.
But at the same time, they're very cautious, they say they're going to put their heads down, they're going to keep working. They're not cocky at this point.
They believe that there's a lot of hard work that's ahead and it -- part of it speaks to what David was talking about and part of it just speaks to the fact that there's been so many unknowns. There's 28 days or 27 days is a lifetime in a campaign.
COOPER: So they're not going to run a commercial with James Carville saying the dogs are wet bring them in or whatever that -- I can't remember exactly or do the laundry or I can't remember what it was.
Okay, stand by for Carville's suggestion of riots if Obama loses:
CARVILLE: Let me be clear, I said you can call the dogs and light the fire and leave the house. I think it sounds over.
Now let me be clear here, if Obama goes in this race with a 5- point lead and losing this election, the consequences are -- bull, man. I mean I don't think that's going to happen, but I think David it's a point to bring up.
But you stop and contemplate this country if Obama goes in and he has a consistent five point lead and loses the election, it would be very, very, very dramatic out there.
"Very, very, very dramatic out there" if Obama loses the election? That sure sounds like Carville is predicting riots.

Another Clinton stooge
October 8, 2008 - 09:17 ET by Mary Louise TurnerYou would expect this kind of garbage coming out of the mouth of a Clinton stooge and loyal Democrat. The MSM is jammed with old Clinton/Carter/Johnson aides and sons of famed Democrats (Chris Cuomo, the brother of NY AG Andrew and son of Mario). With the pro-Obama hot air coming out of them, is it any wonder viewers are voting with their remotes?
Unfortunately, I agree with
October 8, 2008 - 09:25 ET by MazziUnfortunately, I agree with Carville (my GOD - did I just say that?)
However, as some of us have discussed recently, right here on this site - there is an undercurrent from old rich white guys, thinking that there may have to be the kind of revolution our Forefather's guaranteed for us, if Obama is elected.
I would rather have rioting in the ghettos from a McCain victory, since they are somewhat confinable and can be handled by the police and National Guard - than to have a full fledged war.

October 8, 2008 - 12:23 ET by motherbeltThere is a method to Carville's madness.
You have to remember in the movie "The Manchurian Candidate" toward the end, the Angela Lansbury character, explaining what will happen after the Presidential candidate is assassinated, says (paraphrasing):
The outrage will be so great that we (she and her VP candidate husband) will be swept into the White House with powers that will make martial law look like anarchy.
Something to think about.

Hair on Fire
October 8, 2008 - 09:48 ET by CellaI cannot watch those left wingnuts on CNN.
One of the reasons is I that I can't stand to look at Gergen's comb over. The riot I might start would involve setting his hair on fire. Then he would be on his way to the Rudy "do".
Anderson used to be one of my favorites. But his smug "under his breath" comments about Sarah Palin have finished him off for me.
Gloria Berger has become so arrogant in her new role as commentator. She had some screen time at FNC, but they didn't sign her up. So now she is in the place she always longed to be.
But it's funny, I still like John King. My opinion of John is not very valid however, because I don't watch that zoo at CNN very often.

5 point lead huh??
October 8, 2008 - 09:51 ET by kdizzydazeSo why are all of us here giving so much credence to these polls that have been proven to oversample democrats and blacks to republicans??
Obama has a five point lead in the polls because the pollsters dial up and count 45% dems to 30% republicans - sprinkle in an oversampling of blacks to the tune of 25% (as opposed to the 15% of the population they are part of as a whole) and voila (sp??)!! Obama wins!!!!
Don't get me wrong - Obama has a slight edge at the moment - however, the fact that members of Obambi's party are wishing they could have the election today is because they know that this is as good as it is going to get for them.
Time for all of us to wake up and realize that McCain, for all his "Good citizen's of America" stump speeches, still has a shot - a good shot.
Why else would Carville predict anger over an Obama loss?? If his guy has such an insurmountable lead as everyone seems to think, why is he throwing out such a "fear mongering" card as riots!!!
By the way, anyone want to explain ACORN's involvement in numerous issues of voter fraud in Nevada and Missouri?? Hope and Change, perhaps?
This thing is far from over - my head is going to explode -- MAN UP and take the fight to Obama and his wussbag minions!!!!!!!!!!!
Zogby
October 8, 2008 - 10:03 ET by ConLosRepublicanosNoZogby has it a 2 point lead for Obama, so it is far from over.
SURVEY SAYS...
October 8, 2008 - 13:14 ET by danybhoyDespite what political slant a pollster may have, as election day draws closer, the polls will be more of a true picture, & the polls will tighten up. The reason, at the end of the day, pollsters need to be correct. If whatever pollster wants to be taken seriously, they need to be on the money. Even or especially, a campaign's internal poll.
The polls should tighten up within the last 10 days of the race, unless something big hits the news.

October 8, 2008 - 12:49 ET by Tom PaineToo bad for Team Barry that this credit meltdown started at the beginning rather than the end of October.

The pain will still be real but at least we won’t deal with it by a knee jerk reaction into (more) Socialism.

Unfortunately
October 8, 2008 - 09:56 ET by jay_1975I am afraid that Obama will win, that is why it is more important than ever to get a Republican majority back in Congress. The odds are just too long for that to happen as well. This is like what happened during Vietnam. The Dems got us into it and the people wanted Nixon to get us out. The people voted for a "change" and ended up firing Nixon for it. With the wars, the economy and Obama's social plans, he will run this country into such a rut that Romney could very well be the President elect come November 2012. Unfortunately we will have to suffer four years of liberal waste to get to a better place.

Fair enough
October 8, 2008 - 11:45 ET by cvgbuckeyeOK zipper. Lets just talk about those "last 8 years" for a moment:
1. I have spent them living in a wonderful, free America that NO ONE would have guessed would have gone without another terrible terrorist attack since 911, 7 years ago.
2. I own my own business and it is still growing because I have the ambition to drag my butt out of bed in the morning and work hard rather than laying around whining.
3. I am active in a very large church which has a wonderful growth rate with people that are in love with both God and country.
4. I usually have good job openings in my company that go unfilled to due lazy-butts that are more satisfied to sit on their butts on the public dole rather than work for a living; so don't whine to me about no jobs.
5. My area has had moderate job growth but frantic real estate development which is now in some downturn; all a result of a bunch of half-wits who never should have bought houses in the first place because they coudn't afford them and quarter wits who could afford a 200,000 house but bought a 300,000 house instead. You'll likely blame "Big Money" for that like people shoudn't be responsible for their own actions, huh!
6. I own my own home. I played by the rules, worked hard, saved and have it just about paid for. Nobody gave me a thing except my God who gave me everything.
7. Every Sunday, our church is filled with 2 kinds of people: those that are suffering some kind of set-back in life and those that are about to. We pray together, counsel one another, forgive one another, encourage one another and go on with life. Everyone pulls together, there are no class distinctions.
8. This nation, through our efforts in Iraq, has established a democracy square in the middle of one of the most oppressive areas and troubled areas of the world when everyone else in the world was trying to tear us down.
I could go on and on bragging about the greatness of this America that I am SO lucky to have been born in and that I am so proud of. I shed tears (and I'm a pretty tough Marine) every time we have a patriotic service in our church and we have a lot of very fine young men from our church serving in the military.
But I'm afraid that you would just not understand and probably you never will.
well...
October 8, 2008 - 17:00 ET by arkansaszippersSo are you saying you couldn't be proud of this country the next 4 years if John McCain isn't president?
I was trying to illustrate the point that I doubt the country will go in the crapper just because there isn't a Republican president. And just because someone isn't a successful business owner doesn't mean that they are a "lazy-butt." I have two jobs and I barely get by, but I'm sure you would consider my lack of success a result of my laziness. It's easy to judge when you aren't in someone else's shoes. Don't they preach that kind of thing at that church you go to?
Wait a Minute!
October 8, 2008 - 10:03 ET by wildcardalanI thought Chuck Todd said this race was over last week. Now we're talking about riots? They need to get together and figure out how they're going to B.S. us.
IF he loses?
October 8, 2008 - 10:03 ET by ZuccoZoidAmerica adores Barack Hussein and we can't wait to promote him from corporal to 5-star general in one fell swoop; his "inexperience" is a real asset! Yet there MIGHT be trouble IF he loses with his "5 point lead" - with all the fawning and adulation, that's ALL he's ahead by? What could be hiding in the woodpile but our favorite bugaboo, Racism! If it's such a slam dunk why do they even hint at this? Methinks the MSM are not as confident as they proclaim.
Rather than use the fear factor, you'd think the MSM would be glowing over how America has "matured" from its racist past - except Hussein is supposed to be the "post-racial" candidate. So how to address Racism without ascribing it to Hussein? Blame those "bitter" McCain voters and pressure the undecideds through guilt.
It's also about the MSM reclaiming their former powers of persuasion: if they can get THEIR CANDIDATE elected it will prove they still have the same power over the electorate they always had.
And for you Cronkite fans - That's the way it is.

But they didn't. The media tilted in their favor back them. This time they arent taking any chances, they have pulled out all the stops, they don't even care if they appear completely biased.

October 8, 2008 - 10:36 ET by geokster"Is this the future that Obama supporter want? Free speech for just some of us and intimidation of others."
Why yes, that is precisely what they want.
It is the way of the left in every country they control. It is even the way they used to gain power in every country the left has ever taken control of, except for the ones where they just had a bloody coup.
Once in power, it is also their preferred means of staying in power once they get there.

October 8, 2008 - 13:33 ET by danybhoyYou are spot on, it is a form of extortion, the idea of riots in several of America's biggest cities is supposed to scare the people into voting for Obama. I would'nt mind seeing it, because it is a true reflection of what the left has created. OJ & Rodney King again, indeed.
So I say burn it down, show us you are. Show us why you don't matter, show us why you can not be dealt with in a rational manner. Do it, burn down the homes & shops in your neighborhood, & wonder why nobody wants to invest there. Do what you need to do, & take to the streets, but don't even think about asking for help to clean up after the fact. I will contribute nothing unless it is done so by the gov't.

October 8, 2008 - 11:59 ET by Clear thinkerNo riots where I live. The folks in the mountains around here are used to settling things on their own, and they are armed to the teeth. I thought I had a gun collection until I went down the road to ask a farmer about a cow that was wandering the roads. He has two mobile homes on his property. One he lives in, the other is packed from one end to the other with firearms. When I pulled in his drive he was sitting on the porch of one of the homes cleaning a gun. I thought it was the home he lived in. After a tour I found out it was just his little piece of firepower heaven. Then he told me his collection was nothing and started to rattle off names of others in the county that had bigger and better.
So if anyone wants to come to my county and start a riot, feel free, but I warn you, you won't be going home.

Like Nazi's and their trademark statement, "Ve have vays of making you talk", dems are now starting to roll out the accusations of bigotry towards anyone who doesn't buy into their brand of brain washing that the Obama Messiah isn't the best thing since Jesus. I can see thru the one sided media coverage and I wouldn't vote for either Obama or Biden even if it was an all white ticket. While I have to swallow hard to pull the lever for McCain, he is 100% better than Obama. The most prejudiced people I have seen are Dem National Party people. They show it each time they open their mouths about Sarah Palin and thru the notion that all minorities can't make anything out of themselves without government doing it for them. Absolutley disgusting. The party of FRD and JFK have left them behind. Way behind.
As one other person mentioned, those who are going to riot are going to do it regardless if Obama wins or loses.

October 8, 2008 - 11:59 ET by Norto" Palin really angers me.
On another note: If you guys try to steel this election there will be chaos on the streets. There are a lot of Obama supporters out there who are trained and ready if this comes down to physical confrontation. We're not going to put up with this anymore. It's time for real change, not John McSame."
They are out to get us!

It is a look into the liberal mind though.

October 8, 2008 - 12:08 ET by Jack BauerNow let me be clear here, if McCain goes in this race with a lead and losing this election due to ACORN organized voter fraud, the consequences are -- bull, man. I mean I don't think that's going to happen, but I think David it's a point to bring up.
But you stop and contemplate this 77% white country if McCain goes in and he has a consistent lead and loses the election, it would be very, very, very dramatic out there.
This AH is using riots as
October 8, 2008 - 12:09 ET by LCT688This AH is using riots as a threat against the American people. In essence saying look we have alread thrown the economy into chaos, in you don't vote for Obama we'll lauch the violence option and make a bad situation even worse.This is the same thing his Communist pal Odinga did in Kenya.

October 8, 2008 - 12:15 ET by Death_UnbalancedSo basically, if we vote in Obama we get a man who has a possible socialist agenda for America, and if we vote in McCain, could end up with riots?
Either way it is going to be 'interesting' come election time.
Pray for us who work at the poles and all the people behind the scenes.
I hope it does not get ugly, but one way or the other a large group of people are not going to be happy about the outcome of all this...

October 8, 2008 - 12:27 ET by Atlanta Media GuySo now they are threatening me..
If I vote for "That One" there will be riots in the streets.
I worked at CNN in Atlanta when the Rodney King verdict was announced. There was rioting in the streets around CNN Center, a brick was thrown through my windshield. Can these idiotic commentators at CNN be charged with inciting a riot, if it happens? I'm so disappointed in what CNN has become. They will be sorry if "THAT" Marxist is elected, "That One" will get the last laugh for sure! Fairness Doctrine anyone? Life should be FAIR! Taxes should be FAIR! Healthcare is a RIGHT! Is Driving to work a RIGHT? What is America becoming? Handouts for All!
AMG,
October 8, 2008 - 12:54 ET by R D HelmMy brother was forced to take refuge in the library at GSU when the riots happened here.
He had just gotten out of class and, as he was walking on a sidewalk to get to another building. A large group of people began pointing in his direction and began yelling things I won't bother to repeat here.
A police officer standing nearby grabbed him and told him to run, not walk, straight into the library building and stay there.
I was in Birmingham on business the day it happened. At that time, I had a house near downtown. My sister called me and told me what was going on. Needless to say, I drove back to Atlanta at a very brisk pace.

October 8, 2008 - 12:35 ET by Dan LaHoodracializing(sic) the campaign with fear tactics, making BHO not only the Black Candidate but the Angry Black Candidate guarantees his defeat and Mr. Carville and Mr Begala can be reunited with HRC in 2012. Bill's jokin' that he'll get the cracker vote in FLA, the Clintonistas despise Obama and this is payback time.

October 8, 2008 - 12:42 ET by jefflebowskiFolks, there will be riots whatever happens Nov 4. Young blacks will go crazy in victory if Obama wins...they will go crazy if he loses. Burning and looting in all major cities where there are large black populations.
Make sure you and your family are in safe (read: non-black) areas of big cities, that you have gasoline in your cars and means to protect yourself. Massive rioting will render the police ineffective and you must rely on yourself to protect your family and belongings.

October 8, 2008 - 13:00 ET by R D HelmAfter all, we all know how the Clinton's have been knocking themselves out to campaign for Obama. :-^)
It isn't in Hillary's best interest for Obama to become president. Funny how so many libs miss that obvious fact.

Why is it that most Conservatives believe deeply in the message that MLK tried to convey to everyone? Especially the one about judging the man by the content of his character, not the color of his skin! Conservatives are NOT racists!

October 8, 2008 - 21:37 ET by well99No way Repubs are racist.I have proof.
Remember George "segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever" Wallace standing in the door of an Alabama schoolhouse to keep black children from being able to go to school with whites? George Wallace was a Democrat. Remember Bull Connor turning water hoses and dogs on civil rights protestors? Bull Connor was a Democrat.
Who's the only black American currently on the Supreme Court? Clarence Thomas. The first black Secretary of State? Colin Powell. The first black woman ever to be a Secretary of State? Condi Rice.
Meanwhile, what do we see from Democrats? We see Oreo cookies being thrown at Maryland's black U.S. Senate candidate Michael Steele and black Republicans being called "Uncle Toms" and compared to "Aunt Jemima."
A Democratic Louisiana state representative, Carla Blanchard Dartez (LA-51), called a civil rights leader "buckwheat."
Here are the highlights of Sen. Byrd’s past: He was a member of the Ku Klux Klan during the 1940s; he was a staunch opponent of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, even resorting to filibustering the legislation in an attempt to kill it; he was the only senator in American history to vote against confirming Supreme Court Justices Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas, the only two African-Americans ever appointed to the nation’s highest court; he repeatedly used the ‘N-word’ in an interview with Fox News in March 2001.
Senator Biden during his recent trip to New Hampshire told an Indian American activist that "in Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 (a chain store) or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.I'm not joking."
It has been five days since Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen used an offensive ethnic slur to describe the Chinese workers who built the railroads across the American West in the 1800s. Bredesen used the term in a dispatch he wrote and emailed to some Tennessee newspapers while traveling in Beijing.
RACIAL SLURS: Senator Ernest Hollings has a long history of using racial slurs. Following a poor showing in the 1983 Iowa Straw Poll, Hollings remarked "You had wetbacks from California that came in here for Cranston," a reference to Alan Cranston who finished second. Hollings also made derogatory references to an African delegation at a 1993 international conference, suggesting they were cannibals. He stated "Everybody likes to go to Geneva. I used to do it for the Law of the Sea conferences and you'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva." He once referred to Sen. Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio, who was Jewish, as "the senator from B'nai B'rith." The South Carolina Democrat also allegedly referred to blacks with the slur "darkies" in a 1986 interview and once called the Rainbow PUSH coalition the "blackbo coalition."
Oh my bad.Those are Dems.Surprise Surprise.
Bashing Bob.
October 9, 2008 - 02:48 ET by HillbillyKingwell,
As a West Virginian I am very well aquainted with ol' Sen. Bob Byrds racist past. All I ask is for some accuracy in the bashin.
he was a staunch opponent of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, even resorting
to filibustering the legislation in an attempt to kill it
No doubt that he was. But he wasn't alone. There were 20 other Democrats and 6 REPUBLICANS that also voted against the Act in the Senate.
Two days later, the Senate passed the bill by a 73 to 27
roll call vote. Six Republicans and 21 Democrats held firm and voted against
passage
he was the only senator in American history to vote against confirming
Supreme Court Justices Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas, the only
two African-Americans ever appointed to the nation’s highest court
First, he is one of the few to vote on both of them. Second, Strom Thurmond, a REPUBLICAN (he switched in 1964 and was a racist) voted against Thurgood. Thirdly, 2 REPUBLICANS, Jeffords and Packwood voted against Thomas. Of course, different Democrats also voted against both Marshall and Thomas.
he repeatedly used the ‘N-word’ in an interview with Fox News in March 2001.
He said "white niggers" in the interview, twice. Of course he apologized for it and explained the context he was using it in.
Then there's the albatross around his neck, the Klan. At least he's man enough to admit it was a mistake and apologize for it.
Oh, and he did endorse Barry for President.
I mention all of this because I believe Sen. Byrd DESERVES all the sh!t he has received over the years for his past behavior. He DESERVES all the sh!t I send his way for his current behavior. But, he is MY Senator, (not like that carpetbaggin f@ck from NY that bought his seat from my state) and I appreciate accurate sh!t being sent his way. :-}
Otherwise well, I agree wholeheartedly that the Dems are the more racist party. They have to be. Fear mongering and stealing others ideas are the only legit methods they have for winnin any elections.
If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.

Obama Will Use the Same Threat Against Congress
October 8, 2008 - 15:48 ET by Angel HeartOf course Carville is right, that is the way some blacks get what they want. They never use the type of diplomacy Obama claims he will use with foreign leaders.
You do realize that is the way Obama will control Congress if he wins in November don't you? He and his friends in the MSM will hold any senator or congress person hostage by labeling them a racist if they do not comply with his wishes.
Roland Martin does it constantly on the AC360 blog.

October 8, 2008 - 19:27 ET by capitolguyFirst, it is sad that I agree with Carville. Indeed, an Obama loss will make 1992 Los Angeles look like Disneyland because the riots will be nationwide, ala 1960s style. It would be a truly sad day for this country.

How Can There Be Riots...
October 9, 2008 - 00:18 ET by Kimberly...when everybody and his grandfather are telling us that this race is already over?
Seriously, I asked my brother (an Obamaniac and DemocRAT...I know, but every family's got their skeletons in closets) how in the world Carville could claim that there would be riots if Obama lost when my brother had just finished telling me that "It's all over, you know...seriously, Obama's got this one in the can"?
Him: "I can't speak for some idiot talking head on CNN. Just look at the polls...they're all got Obama up."
Me: "By how much? 5? 10? The mythical 15 that's needed to offset the 'Wilder Effect'?"
Him: "Um...not sure how much. But all the polls are breaking Obama's way."
Me: "Breaking? What does that mean? Best spread I've seen is Obama up 4 with a 2-pt. margin of error. What do you mean 'breaking'? Is there some invisible Obama surge out there just dying to be counted by pollsters? Is there some conspiracy to avoid printing the really big Obama numbers so that the Dems don't get complacent? Is 'breaking' some codeword the MSM made up to discourage Republican voters? Is this like Diddy's 'Vote or Die' nonsense from 2004? What exactly do you mean by 'breaking'?"
Him: "I gotta run. We'll talk more later."
I swear, the MSM may be the ones rioting if their anointed one loses this election. Would anybody notice if they were even gone?
Encouragement
October 9, 2008 - 06:26 ET by orlandocajunIt sounds to me like Carville is encouraging white people to vote for McCain so that Hillary can run again in '12. He's still in the tank for Hillary. Who cares if there are riots in the ghettos anyway?
Carville's racist comment
October 9, 2008 - 08:55 ET by nkviking75Two thoughts on Carville's comments:
1. Several spokespeople from the left have said the same thing, that there'd be riots if Obama lost. That's more or less extortion.
2. Isn't it racist to suggest that if blacks don't get their way, there will be riots?
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

that his blackness may cost
October 9, 2008 - 14:49 ET by dscottthat his blackness may cost him as much as six points I think he's in a commanding position coming out of this second debate.
So in other words, he admits via projection that the polls are skewed by 6 points. If the polls have Obama and McCain at a dead heat, McCain will win by 6%. Interesting article on the AT about this: http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/10/polls_obama_or_mccain_is_winni_1.html
This reminds me of Baghdad Bob reporting from Iraq, we in the US were laughing hysterically everytime the guy made his propaganda broadcast given to us by CNN. In the Muslim World they believed everything he said and was stunned to learn Iraq had been quickly squashed by the US military because they wanted to believe the propaganda. The loony left and blacks are going to be shell shocked on Nov 5th wondering what happened.
Here is my conspiracy theory of the week: The leftist leadership knowing that Obama is going to lose on November 4th is whipping up the expectations of the victim groups within the Dem Party. On November 5th, led by loons like Cynthia McKinney, blacks and the leftist loon dupes will be marching in all the cities crying about disenfranchisement and demanding consessions from McCain. McCain, being the closet lib he is, in order to be liked by liberals he will make consessions to coddle the demonstrators to mollify the masses. McCain will claim "we must do something" to establish the credibility of the government. The new home owner mortgage rescue plan he just sprung on us at the 2nd debate and now is advertising will be offered as a consolation prize thus robbing the taxpayers with the IRS holding the gun to our heads. The government McCain says is going to directly buy their mortgages, write down the principal on the loans and reduce the interest.
McCain, Pelosi and Reid will immediately begin pump priming the economy via deficit spending using the ruse of alternative energy as a jobs program thus steering lucritive contracts to Dem supporters who were large financial contributors.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.
So If I Don't Vote For Obama I'm Racist?
October 9, 2008 - 20:58 ET by DaMamaDid it every occur to Carville that the American people see right through this empty suit? Obama is not qualified to be President. He hasn't done squat in the Senate in the 2 short years he's been there. Sure he can read a teleprompter well - but off the cuff, Obama is at a loss for words. He has to have everything written out for him because he can't think for himself.
If Obama loses it's because people don't think he's the best man for the job. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin. This just shows that Carville must has racist leanings if he honestly thinks this way. What a doofus!
In October 1980, Ronald Reagan was 5 points behind Jimmy Carter. People wised up then....and they will wise up now. Obama will destroy this country if he is elected.
