What do you think about voter regret and how it will effect the General Election?

I DJ at a local club after work on the weekends, and I get to talk to a lot of people. Many have expressed their regret for voting Obama on his "hope and change" platform after learning more in depth who he is as a person. How will this trend effect the results in the General Election? A good number of the people I talk to are college age and also military people.

  1. Yes wouldnt have been nice if we could have had the primaries without being fooled and misled by the liberal press core? So that people could form their own un biased opinion about each candidate based on their real merits? Kind of scary really when the media can "brainwash" and attempt to steer an election is it not?
  2. I think so, the reason is because people seem to be not in agreement with what Obama has said. The main reason for this is his "bitter" statement which was poorly said. Also many feel that Obama wants change but they are not sure as to what change he is speaking of. If people regret voting for Obama he will wind up losing votes to McCain. Going back the bitter comments he made, I think that it really hurt him, not just in PA but in the general population. Obama will lose many working class and underclass voters because of how he said it. I don't agree with how he said it. But ultimately it will come back upon him because many underclass voters will not vote for him because they don't appreciate being called bitter people.
  3. Wow you dj love it!!! Bottom line is if Obama wins the nominee, McCain will win in a landslide.
  4. .....if Obama wins the nomination, McCain will win.....there are a significant number of polls that currently support what you are hearing @ your club. .....if Clinton wins the nomination, there are many who have voted for Obama who will vote for her, and there are independents & Republicans who will vote for her too. .....if the rest of the primaries continue to indicate that Clinton is still in the race - hopefully the superdelegates, at the DNC convention, will send their votes her way & avoid the disappoint of a McCain win. I believe that this possibility is hopefully why many superdelegates have declined to declare themselves.
  5. If that opinion holds or increases, the turnout may be lower than expected. Some voters may stay home. I wouldn't try to make any predictions.
  6. I'm sure many people have this voter regret when it comes to Obama. Now is the chance to speak out and let the country know that he is no longer a favorite candidate. If, by any chance is the one chosen to be the Democratic contender, it will be the first time in life that I have not voted. I cannot, and will not feel responsible in any way for what this man will do to America. I compare him to President Bush, a liar and talker with only negative actions that have caused us nothing but resentment from other countries. We must bring the world faith back to America and show all that we are a strong good nation. Our people are first.
  7. It sounds like they need to do some serious polling. This has turned into a nightmare for the democratic party. They seem to be torn about what they are going to do. They have two nominees that have been attacking each other relentlessly and it has divided the party in two. They are probably trying to figure out how they can do some damage control and determine which way to swing considering they still have several delegates on the fence that have not pledged their support to either candidate.
  8. As time goes on, the truth always works it's way to the surface in life. obama and his catchy "change" slogan worked wonders at first, yet as time has shown obama is not all what he wanted us to believe he is. He is no JFK, he is no different than any other politician, yet may be worse. I am not surprised at what the questioner has heard, and am still surprised anyone really has strong beliefs in this man.
