Hillary would have been much tougher to beat. She can actually pretend to be a centrist. Barack Hussein Obama has no such cover.
Obama is going to get crushed, there is a mountain of ammo to use against Barack Hussein Obama. There will never be a President Barack Hussein Obama.
BTW, how is it Rush’s fault, he was telling people to vote for Hillary.
Hear, hear.
“Obama is going to get crushed, there is a mountain of ammo to use against Barack Hussein Obama. There will never be a President Barack Hussein Obama.”
You’re a-whistlin’ past the graveyard, Bob.
I predict this will be one of the closest elections in history, right up there with 2000. I don’t think McCain can win the popular vote - if he wins, it will be through the electoral college, as did G.W. Bush in 2000. And this time, we may see not just one, but two or three state outcomes challenged by the ‘rats.
So long as neither candidate could claim a majority in the polls, I saw the race as close or at least still contested. But when you see either candidate start “breaking 50” (percent, that is) in the polls (state or national), it’s getting close to over.
Obama seems to be getting uncomfortably close to that threshhold. Uncomfortable for _us_, that is.
This doesn’t mean a turnaround could yet be possible. Some thoughts:
- A significant win by Palin vs. Biden could inject new fire into the race, at least among conservatives. But, if Palin stumbles, that may be the beginning of the end.
- There are still two debates left for McCain vs. Obama. Obama just needs to hold his own against McCain to keep his momentum. McCain, on the other hand, needs a knockout to put himself back into serious contention.
- And of course, there could be the “October Surprise” - coming to a televsion set near you (I don’t own a television).
I hope my pessimism is proven wrong. But if there is a “mountain of ammo” to use against Obama, why ain’t they a-usin’ it?

I know there's a mountain of ammo, but I see most of it here on FR, or on anti-Obama blogs, or hear it on Rush, Hannity, etc. The problem is... it doesn't get OUT THERE. FReepers and conservatives are grumbling about all the TRUE negative stuff about Obama, but it isn't getting out there to non-political junkies like us.
After this week, I'm convinced the only way to keep Obama out of the White House is to "swiftboat" him in October. But how???
There is nothing to support your statements. This is much closer than you think.
You forget that we see things differently than the average people do. They do not think beyond the sound bite. They do not see the beyond the words or care to look for the facts.
We do not have a strong communicator (except Palin) and even Palin is being tainted every day. Additionally the financial crisis is made for the dems. Again, most citizens do not know the real details nor care to find out.
Additionally tell us what is looking so good when you must consider the citizens are going to put the dems back in control of Congress again.
If the citizens were aware or concerned Washington will be crawling with protesters tomorrow burning Reed, Dobs, Pelosi, Frank, et-al in effigy and demanding they step down.
Don't bet on that. The citizens do not care, nor care to find out. And Obama is not finished or the dolt you think him to be.
This is an election to fear.
The silence from the MSM is deafening!
