I’m not giving up. I’ve felt worse about Bush’s chances at this point in both 2000 and 2004. The difference is that McCain appeals more to independent and the “undecided”, whoever they are.
If we are honest with ourselves, we realise the Free Republic is nowhere near representative of the population as a whole. People now want or will want the bailout. They are not ready to tough it out. McCain can claim success with some of the tax cuts that go along with this bill and refocus the public on Obama’s inexperience, associations, communism, etc.
