Comments on: Quinnipiac Poll Shows Obama Closing the Gap http://commentsfromleftfield.com/2008/04/quinnipiac-poll-shows-obama-closing-the-gap Loaning brain cells to those in need since 2003 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 22:34:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Kathy Giannini http://commentsfromleftfield.com/2008/04/quinnipiac-poll-shows-obama-closing-the-gap/comment-page-1#comment-29441 Kathy Giannini Wed, 09 Apr 2008 10:50:13 +0000 http://commentsfromleftfield.com/?p=3766#comment-29441 I'm originally from Monessen but now live in France which just got through its presidential election in May. The winning candidate now president Nicolas Sarkozy touted "change" and "more buying power". Lots of people have been siphoned off the official unemployment lists to become the "working poor". Like Obama, Sarkozy spoke of change, used slogans, de-emphasized his record. The losing candidate was a woman, Ségolène Royale, and I believe she lost BECAUSE she was a woman. Unlike Sarkozy, her RECORD was positive, her political intuition very sure, but -- like Obama's campaign -- there was a omnipresent Glitzkrieg with a verbal "staking out" of slogans that is almost sect-like. And it's here on internet that the "symptoms" show. Read the comment of Obama supporters and learn who the candidate really is. Keep your own voice. Resist the Glitz.
