Analyzing Return on Investment

Barack Obama throttled Hillary Clinton in the Georgia primary by two to one. This beat down inspired democrat Vernon Jones to run in the Democrat senate primary as a Barry-Clone.

That didn’t work out so well for Vernon.

Politicians grabbing Barack Obama’s coattails should take note: In the Georgia democratic Senatorial primary runoff held yesterday, Jim Martin defeated Vernon Jones by a 60% to 40%. Martin will now face the Republican senior Senator from Georgia, Saxby Chambliss, in November’s election. This doesn’t seem to bode well for Obama’s presidential quest. Jones’s campaign hoped to emulate Obama’s impressive primary victory in Georgia (he defeated Senator Hillary Clinton in Georgia, 66.4% to 31.1%), but now he’s failed to even make it to November’s ballot.

In fact, Jones distributed campaign paraphernalia consisting of a picture of himself and Obama, with the words “Yes We Can!” prominently scrawled underneath the photographs….

Reading that reminded of a recent article that I read about Obama running through money like crap through a goose. What struck me then was that he was spending money in places where he has zero chance of winning, like Texas.

The stories of Obama spending all over creation while McCain seems focused on battle ground states are still out there.

This one got my attention:

Obama is outspending McCain in: Florida, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana, New Hampshire, and North Dakota.

What’s interesting here is that McCain is outspending Obama in almost all the “traditional swing states.” Most of the states Obama is outspending McCain in are states that most figured wouldn’t even be in play this year — Georgia, North Carolina, Indiana, and North Dakota.

It’s also interesting to see that McCain has spent NOTHING in Florida while Obama has spent more there than anywhere else.

When you are spending millions against zero and get results like this, a person has to wonder.

Georgia: McCain +11
Florida McCain +6

Why would McCain spend a dime in Florida? No one likes to say it, but we all know that the older the generation, the more racist they are, and it isn’t race specific (old white people aren’t any more racist than old black people). It sucks, but its true and it has to do with the time they lived in, nothing else. Countless studies have proven that the younger the generation the less racist it is. Florida is full of old people, old white people, old rich white people. That is why you’re seeing democrats say that they’ll vote for McCain, and why McCain won’t have to spend a dime in Florida.

Hussein can spend billions since his web sites in terrorist countries are pouring it in. Nothing will happen about the illegal contributions because the democrats saw to it that the FEC could not function. After the election they’ll pay a few fines (using terrorists money), smile at the stupidity of the American people and move on to the next rip off.
Racism has nothing to do with this election on the black side. They say 90% + of the blacks will vote for a half white/half Arab but it will actually be 100% of the blacks voting. Ain’t no racism there. Hussein will keep the race angle going as long as it favors him and he could care less about the blacks in America other than his ‘use’ of them.

“…I will stand with them (Muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” B Hussein Obama,

Oh my God, er, Obama (may peace and blessings be upon Him).

This has to have the Dems worrying. But leave it to McCain who recently gave props to the Soviet Speaker, comrade Pelosi to make this go down to the wire.
