Larry Sinclair, Barack Obama: DBKP Believability Comparison Challenge



Who's More Believable?
Barack Obama vs. Larry Sinclair




Barack Obama and Larry Sinclair: two men on a mission, with different agendas, backed by rabid--some would say "mindless"--supporters.

Obama is the presumptive Democrat nominee; Sinclair is the man who claims Obama shared gay sex and cocaine in the back of a limo in 1999. He also later claimed that the choir master of Obama's Trinity Church, Donald Young, was murdered by the Obama forces. Additionally, Sinclair asserts that Young contacted him several times before Young was killed.





Sinclair has offered absolutely no evidence to back up his wild allegations of gay sex, drugs and murder. "Fightthesmears.com", Obama's website, was launched specifically to combat wild allegations and rumors--yet, it has remained absolutely silent about Sinclair.

Both men have their fans, Obama's supporters being somewhat larger than Sinclair's. Arguments have broken out in chat rooms and on the comment sections of several blogs.

So, who does one believe?

Being a big believer in math, we decided to run the numbers, because, although men with something to gain might not always tell the truth, NUMBERS DON'T LIE. With this in mind, we compared the two men in sixteen different areas.

The results are published--for the very first time!--below.

As always, we'll let the readers look at the facts and make up their own minds.

TWO MEN ENTER, ONE MAN LEAVES

New CNN Poll:


Hillary Leads, But is Glass
Half-Empty or Half-Full?



The CNN Poll, how to read it:

Is the glass is half-empty or half-full?

The new CNN poll will be spun both ways. Hillary Clinton remains the leader and is the one to beat is the way CNN and others will spin it. She's on top.

But her numbers are slipping and no one else in the field has her name recognition is another spin from those who have hopes of topping Clinton. She's on her way down.

More from CNNCNN:
Clinton's path to the White House is in no way certain. Clinton was criticized for her performance during a debate last week, and her rivals for the Democratic nomination have stepped up attacks that she has equivocated on her position on Iraq, Iran and other major issues.

The Republican presidential candidates have also stepped up their attacks on the Democratic front-runner, with each suggesting that he has the best chance of stopping Clinton.

The attacks may be working. The CNN/Opinion Research polls suggests that Clinton's support has slipped from its height one month ago.
The breakdown for the contenders. REPUBLICANS:
In the Republican presidential race, Giuliani continues to be the leading candidate, with the backing of 28 percent of the Republican primary voters polled. Former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee was backed by 19 percent. Sen. John McCain of Arizona was the top pick of 16 percent, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney had 11 percent.

Of the remaining Republican candidates, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee received 10 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul 5 percent, California Rep. Duncan Hunter 4 percent and Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo 3 percent.
And the numbers for the Democrat hopeful. DEMOCRATS:
Clinton is the top choice of 44 percent of the likely Democratic voters interviewed for the poll. Her closest rival, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, was the top choice of 25 percent, and former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina has 14 percent.

All other Democratic candidates were in single digits. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was backed by 4 percent, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware by 3 percent, Sen. Christopher Dodd by 2 percent, Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich by 2 percent and former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel was at 1 percent.
One year to go until the 2008 elections. One long year.

And the day after the elections, you can bet that someone will start the discussion about 2012.
