[I think his empty suitedness (???) puts him at a huge disadvantage to someone with McCain’s experience.]

The biggest mistake you make with that statement is the word, “think”. It’s a foreign word to Obombers. Their cultish devotion is completely irrational. It’s the biggest voting block of vapid servitude this country has ever seen in it’s history. If I allow it to, it scares the he11 out of me. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups...

[Norman Bates]

LOL, I agree!

[BJungNan]

Krauthammer is vastly overrated. Watching his performances on the Fox All-Stars is painful.

I could not disagree with you more.

[BJungNan]

Yep. I remember it well BunnySlippers. That was a good day. Hard to believe that much time has passed.

Looking at his mindless supporters, I would say the Jones boy.

In 1972, voters went to the polls to vote for a guy they knew very little about. That brought us the malaise years, the incredibly destructive Carter administration.

I am pretty sure I voted for Nixon in 1972, and against Carter in 1976?

[cynwoody]

He’s an empty suit

Google agrees with you.

To put it in the Jane Fonda vernacular..

Cult trumps Cu#t....

If Obama wins, it will be proof positive that the Mayan calendar is correct.

They're the same people who hang on Colbert's every word and froth at the mouth when they hear the name "Bush."

I also will not ever underestimate the stupidity of the average voter.

However, I just don’t see too many Republican moderates and conservatives or independents falling for Obama’s schtick, getting caught up in the very wonderfulness of his being and voting for him.

I may be very wrong, and we’ll know next November if I was.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Democrats are worried that the Obama spell will break between the time of his nomination and the time of the election, and deny them the White House. My guess is that he can maintain the spell just past Inauguration Day. After which will come the awakening. It will be rude.

Obama's vaporcreed, will it vanish in time?

[Salamander]

Jim Jones, definitely.
[didn’t you see the “Kool-Aid” photo?].....;]

[Verginius Rufus]

How will the lunar eclipse on February 20 impact the race?

[egginanest]

That’s what my brother keeps saying. I fear many underestimate the ‘stuck on stupid’ mentality of Conservatives who are deluded in thinking that denying the GOP of their votes will send a message.......................................again. And again. And.......again. For the last time....

[Salamander]

Any questions?....:)

“Generation Jones”....the prophecy is fulfilled?

[airborne]

I suppose any event involving the moon will tend to draw out the ‘loonies’.

But that wasn’t what I was refering to.

I agree. Annoying with his grand self-assurance, though he sometimes gets off some good lines. How would he do as comedian?

Rude for him. Disasterous for the nation.
