My prediction: John McCain will get half the popular vote of Barak Obama in November and he will win only 15 states.

Barak Obama raised 32 million dollars in January and is expected to do the same in February. Obama has raised 6 million dollars SINCE Tuesday.

John McCain has raised 40 million dollars this ENTIRE campaign.

Barack Obama has thousands of people attending his campaign events,John McCain has a few hundred geriatric liberals at his.

So the bottom line is this question, "If John McCain attacks Barack Obama, will anybody be there to hear it?"

“John McCain has raised 40 million dollars this ENTIRE campaign.”


Amazing. Mitt has spent much more than that of his own money, which is probably now in the 50 million dollar range.

The entire basis of Obama’s campaign is that he can work with Republicans and get things done.

If it becomes evident that John McCain, aka the “good Republican,” Mr Independent, the guy who can work with Feingold and Kennedy, thinks Obama is a phoney and won’t work with him, then what? If Obama’s not on good terms with McCain, what hope does he have of working with guys like McConnell?

Do not underestimate also the fact that what sounds so inspiring now won’t sound as inspiring in 9 months when you’ve heard it 50 more times, and the Rezko and Exelon stories start to circulate. I don’t care about fundraising or crowds at rallies, I take it as an article of faith that in a McCain-Obama GE, McCain wins. The only thing that will derail that is if conservatives force McCain to publicly adopt the Bush agenda wholesale. If that happens the GOP is done. I’m not saying don’t force McCain to reflect the party whose nomination he wants; I’m saying don’t make it public lol.
