Yes, but NOT by McCain.

Every long stovepipe has at least one elbow in it.

The Obamagasm can't run all the way to November (can it?) At some point, their will have to be an entree to go with the garnish (mustn't there?)

Most election years, the number of primary votes that Hillary has been getting would be more than enough to get her the nomination. But the Obama crowd is turning out in such large numbers that she is lagging. Still, it is hard for me to picture their enthusiasm continuing at such high levels for another nine months, without any more substance than has been offered from Mr. Obama. Or are that many voters that superficial and shallow? I sincerely hope not.

"Yes, but NOT by McCain."

That is the truth.

Actually, McCain is the exact candidate to bury Barry, if circumstances line up before November. Terrorists want and need a strong American President who will react to their murdering else they have no recruiting mechanism for a war against the West because the West would be feminized under a liberal hack like Obama. He is a liberal weakling with so little experience that even those he would pick to run things would be impotent against terrorism. Look for the terrorists to do something heinous between now and the fall in order to marginalize Obama and vault McCain to the fore as the 'strong against terrorism' candidate.

One other note: even Barry would have to act decisively against terrorism should it hit us in the continental 48 again, so the realities are what terrorists try to avoid the American voter comprehending.

Big problem is McCain will not inspire a big base turn out . Unless we have a terrorist attack or something big foreign policy wise. Obama can be beat it will just take a lot of help.

Hillary would be easier to beat , I think. But seeing her lose to the O man would be so sweet .

“Yes, but not by McCain.”

The truth hurts, but it’s the truth.

Yeah, maybe an S&M joke would work.

Considering the options, I'm having trouble caring.

Any chance of a military coupe?

Complete societal breakdown could be entertaining too. At least it always is in the movies. I could band with my neighbors and go kick the crap out of the town to the west. Those guys are pussies, but I covet their women, power tools and flour.

I'd prefer seeing her lose to McCain, which I'm pretty sure would happen if they were the final 2. I believe she'd cause the big turnout of the conservative base, no matter how many of them now say they wouldn't, who have a lot more hatred of her than they have of Obama.

Of course Obama can be beaten, there has never been an invincible candidate and never will be.

Obama’s (and the entire Democrat Party’s) weakness is the issues.

If I were advising Mr. McCain, that’s got to be his key to winning. If he sticks to the high road, and is perfectly frank about what he intends to do, what he would like to do, and what he thinks he will accomplish, all of Mr. Obama’s platitudes aren’t going carry the day. But it got to be straight talking, if McCain tries to pander, tries to label his policies as “conservative” when they ain’t, he’ll turn off the people and lose for certain.
