Given McCain's bleak chances, would you take Hillary now?

Hillary?....Hillary...

Didn't she loose to some Unelectable Marxist?

[Lakeshark]

Did Halloween come early? Is this the night of the living dead vanity posts?

Steady there, take a deep breath and exhale please......

[stripes1776]

I’ve been here for a few months, i’m not a troll. Just being realistic,

Since you want to be realistic, perhaps you didn't read the newspapers. Hillary isn't running.

[PA Engineer]

IBTZ!

[italianquaker]

Good catch you noticed he said you and not we hmmmm

[o_zarkman44]

Sorry but your analysis of McCain only having a 25% chance of winning is wrong!
Although I have to say, Hillary was somewhat better than Obama, who is a commie loser.

Just stay home election day. Nobody will miss you.

[Darren McCarty]

How many damn vanities is this? This is the middle of the 4th quarter. While we're trailing, there's 8 minutes left, and we have 3 time outs.

The two minute drill doesn't start till election day. Sign up for that and help put Obama in a position where he can lose.

[wjcsux]

You look like ZOT bait to me.

[ForbesFan]

Please..... Do you really think Hillary is any different than any other tax-and-spend liberal? Of course not. She was co-President for 8 years, and look at who her husband (in name only) is.

Perhaps, I say let Sarah Palin off the chain to fire us up a bit italianquaker, to me the McCain Campaign’s handling of her borders on the Criminal.

Send her to us folks via Rush and the 700 Club and other venues, we are starving out here.

[ak267]

Fe-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of a trollish dud.

[Kackikat]

Hillary is a socialist too. In 1999 it was Bill Clinton who signed the bill that repealed the Glass-Steagle Act that had been in place to regulate the banks after the Great Depression, so think again.

MCCAIN - PALIN will WIN, WIN, WIN...and then PALIN WILL BE PRESIDENT THE NEXT TIME...Praise God

[Still Thinking]

I don’t research led you to the conclusion the odds are 3-1 in favor of the One, but I think you’ve been smoking too much of that “research”.

[Not A Snowbird]

Cut the Chicken Little crap.

I'd better keep this one handy.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Barack Obama, is this you? Welcome to Free Republic, BO!

[italianquaker]

I agree and stop with the couric/gibson trolls and McCain needs to run the ads that hurt(wright dem financial shenanigans)

[paudio]

Nope. Look, the campaign is still more than a month. There will still be three debates. 0ctober is not even here. Yes, McCain suffers some setback, but the campaign is NOT over yet. He hasn't really utilized the weapon which catapulted his poll numbers in early September: Sarah Palin. Bill Kristol writes that McCain was unhappy with her handlers, which means things might be different now.

Don't forget that the election is fought in the battleground states, not in national level. One thing that I have never seen from the national polls is this: what is the proportion of the location of those respondents? It's possible that they oversample big states (NY, CA, PA, etc.) that are tilting to the Dims.

As to the main question, McCain would have been down by 15% since August if he run against Hillary.

[Beowulf9]

Actually, it should be given Obama’s bleak chances would YOU take Hillary now.

[FiscalConservative1985]

Geez people, I was just asking a hypothetical. I am not some troll, I can’t stand Obama, but given the choice i’d swallow the pill and take Hillary over the good chance (60%+) that Obama becomes President. I’m a conservative on economic matters first, social issues are left up to the courts for the most part anyway. And on economic issues, Hillary is light years better than Obama.
