I think Mr. Andersen summed it up pretty well!

I tend to believe Obama is wiser and more worldly than Carter Keep the faith! I see Obama as dumber and even more naive than Carter.

It’s like being more attractive than Rosie

I think an Obama loss in November would be particularly disheartening for the country. It would amount to a national statement concerning our racial divideUtter nonsense, already they're trying to portray an Obama defeat as racism.
It's the policies, stupid !

Yeah, at least he is being realistic instead of emotional.
Still, by reading his words, I see a man with alot of cats with very soft hands and ghostly white skin in the middle of July.

And on geopolitics, Im far more convinced that President Obama would summon up the requisite steel and shrewdness than I am that President McCain would become sufficiently nuanced and diplomatic. Now there's something you'd want to bet your country on. I think we can return to the "two words: Jimmy Carter" point.

No, he was a dictator-loving dhimmi, so same difference.

Obama is Lincolnian?
Surely, he must be joking here.
Obama is to Lincoln as a Pabst Blue Ribbon is to a Sam Adams.

All this and a whole bunch more. I truely doubt any poll taken outside of Cleveland or Columbus would give Obama Ohio. I hear what is being said here and it is one of two options, McCain or not voting at all.

Obama is to Lincoln as a Pabst Blue Ribbon is to a Sam Adams. You might want to rethink your analogy... :-)

At least Carter had actually experienced the real world as a peanut farmer (life-sustaining food comes from the dust of the earth and sweat of the brow) and nuclear engineer (knows how stuff really works, and could think analytically* about it).
BHO, however, knows little of reality.
(* - One of Carter’s biggest flaws was micro-managing everything.)

So far hes holding onto his baseamong people under 30 and college graduates, his support has actually increased. Two of the unenthusiastic constituencies, old people and Catholics, dont seem to be growing more antagonistic.
But the two other relatively Obama-unfriendly blocs, female and working-class whites, appear to be turning against himespecially white women. In just one month, according to Pew, Obama (and Hillary Clinton) virtually erased the gender gap: In April, he was beating McCain among white women, but by May, McCain was running ahead of Obama by 8 percent. One of our employees, a die-hard Dem, just said today that he cannot vote for the O. He, after a lifetime of voting D, will vote for McCain.

Given the choice I’ll take a Sam Adams any day (Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is my personal favorite). However, if you are going to pick an “American Style Lager”, PBR is a great choice over Bud, Miller, Michelob, et al.

So he prefers a moderate RAT to a radical RAT. That’s the way I see it, but I’m still voting for McCain.
