I agree.
Obama’s is a doomed candidacy.
I hope you are right, but both of you are nuts.
There is a less than 10% chance that McCain will be the next President. There are too many factors against the “Republican” Candidate.
1. Iraq — We all know the situation is getting better, but the average voter does not.
2. Economy — We all know the situation isn’t as bad as the Media make it out to be and we know why the down-turn occurred, the average voter does not.
3. Gas Prices — We all know who is really to blame, the average voter does not.
4. He’s the “Republican”, read Bush guy, the average American is not a fan of Bush (unfairly, yes).
I just don’t see the cause of optimism, despite, the demographic advantage McCain should have amongst middle-class and blue collar voters, I just don’t see many of those voters crossing the aisle. I just don’t see it happen.
President Obama would be an unmitigated disaster (Jimmy Carter by a factor of 10), but I think its what we are going to get.
I don’t even think “Bama will be the nominee of the Dimocrat party.
Don’t ask me who. But I just don’t think he will make it through.
So you cut from a young black man with groups of happy smiling American faces surrounding him to Senator McCain's picture (almost any one) and you see the same old tired rerun of castrated Republican Liberal Appeasement.
Add to the fact that McCain's message (which I believe consists mostly half-hearted promises that will soon revert to color) that is monotonically delivered, wrapped in a tenuous belief that "We" are united, is unenergetically received.
And so, the now 'United' Republican party steps lightly through the cemetary whistling its protective mantra. This is another Bob Dole campaign in the making.
