I am starting to make peace with the idea of Obama. Not that I like it but that its out of my hands and I’m not going to have a nervous breakdown over it.

All along we didn’t like McCain and it was only until he selected Sara that we came onboard 100 percent.

HE has run a shotty campaign from the beginning but picking Sara gave us some hope.

Unless a huge October surprise comes along which I doubt, then I think its over.

In the meantime I will continue to pray for that October surprise and/or the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.

Come on, people!
There is no way that a switched ticket would win.
The race isn’t over yet.

Of course, this is a Democratic year. The public is tired of George Bush and eight years of an incumbent administration. War, Wall Street, and the absence of a conservative Reagan-like charismatic figure should make it easy for a Democrat to win the presidency. After a nearly miraculous McCain surge in September, following the Republican Convention and Palin nomination, the Republicans are once again floundering — and a sense of utter despair has now set in among conservatives.

Wall Street melted down. The New York–Washington media elite went ballistic over vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. The Alaskan mom of five in near suicidal fashion was ordered by the campaign to put her head in the Charlie Gibson-Katie Couric guillotine. A trailing McCain — while sober and workmanlike in the first two debates — failed to close the ring and hammer the agile Obama as a charismatic charlatan.

The result is that with not much more than three weeks left in the campaign, a number of conservatives have all but accepted (if a few not eager for) an Obama victory. Others are angry at the McCain campaign’s supposed reluctance to go after Obama’s hyper-liberal, hyper-partisan Senate record, his dubious Chicago coterie, his serial flip-flops, and his inexperience. And how, most wonder, can McCain regain the lead lost three weeks ago, when the media has given up any pretense of disinterested coverage, time is growing ever more short, prominent conservatives such as George Will, Charles Krauthammer, David Brooks, and Kathleen Parker have suggested Sarah Palin would be unfit to assume the presidency, and former Romney supporters are raising again their unease with the once again too moderate-sounding McCain?

Yet for all the gloom, there are several reasons why this race is by no means over...

I'm starting to see what you put into words here in some other places as well that I visit. But then there are the die hards that have put on their blinders and inserted their ear plugs and won't concede what is becoming more obvious to everyone else and that's okay. After the election it will sink in that the RINO's picked the wrong candidate. They were told from the git that they had made a big mistake and told us to shut up as usual.

RINO's will never learn. They haven't yet.
