Syria's Ruling Ba'ath Party Endorses Obama.....
It's looking more and more like they'll get their wish, Rasmussen now has Obama leading 52% - 46%......
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) – Syrian government newspapers are endorsing Democratic presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama.
The editorials, recently translated, appeared prior to the U.S. attack on a network of al Qaeda-linked fighters who were moving from Syria to Iraq two weeks ago.
Columnist Dr. Eid Abu Sika wrote in the Syrian government daily Al-Ba’th that it was “now the turn” of the Democrats to be in power in the U.S.
“All Arabs prefer Obama over [Republican Presidential candidate John] McCain,” Abu Sika wrote. If the U.S. does not elect Obama “it will be the biggest country in history that is swimming against the stream,” a translation provided by Middle East Media Research Institute on Friday said.
Another columnist, Nadia Damiati in the Syrian government daily Al-Thawra, referred positively to Obama and his running mate Sen. Joseph Biden.
Their campaign slogan of “change and experience” indicates that “the Americans aspire for their country to take a moral stance, be an honest broker, act in accordance with the U.S. constitution, not ignite wars, not spill the blood of innocents in the world, and not deceive the [American] people regarding the danger of terrorism [and the need] to fight it,” Damiati wrote in August.

Kerry was ahead in the polls too. Nothing is inevitable.

If Obama wins...God help America..the only reason the arabs are excited about this prospect is because they know it will result in a weaker america which will only serve their interests! The truth is, if Obama wins people will no longer see a strong America. It will no longer be a symbol of hope and freedom. America will be a wounded dog with its tail between its legs. Thats why you can see all them terrorists salivating. God help America if Obama wins. I for one will no longer look across the pond for a glimmer of hope but only to see a nation close to its demise. ... but then I dont think it will come to that because I dont think theres that many idiots in America to vote Obama into the office!

Don't trust the polls, consider their source!

I'm starting to accept it too...but I'm voting anyways and hoping I'm wrong. Not that racism is ever good but maybe the Bradley Effect will help out.

Interestingly enough, Ba'ath = National Socialist.
I see they've found an American politician they just love.
