McCain in a landslide? Could be
Jack Kelly
SEN. Barack Obama has the lead for the time being. But three signposts point the way to a McCain landslide in November, in the unlikely event the Arizona senator has the wit to heed them.
What figures to be by far the most important issue this fall is the skyrocketing price of energy and its deleterious effect on the broader economy and national security.
Now that Sen. John McCain has flip-flopped on drilling off our coasts, there is a substantial difference between him and Mr. Obama on the issue. Mr. McCain also supports building more nuclear power plants, which Mr. Obama opposes.
Opinion polls indicate a large majority supports drilling for oil off our coasts and in Alaska. That majority is likely to expand and harden as gas prices rise this summer. But Mr. McCain can't fully capitalize politically on this change in public attitude unless he completes his flip-flop and consents to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge........

McCaniac baby!
This could very much happen
But it is going to take a LOT of hard work, and prayer for God's helping Hand
There is just too much scary stuff about Hussein out there in the public view. Even with our very slanted mainstream media, I think folks are hearing a lot of really bad stuff about this "messiah".
God knows, I hope I'm right about this!
So, he's got no chance, in other words!
McCain is better than Obama, no question. But a McCain landslide will be very bad for the GOP. That's not the direction the party should move -- but it will take us years to recover from a landslide.
Yes. I see you have fastened on the exact same phrase that I did: “in the unlikely event the Arizona senator has the wit to heed them.”
Maybe he will. If he doesn’t do a few flip flops on some basic issues, he will find himself on the opposite side from his own base, as well as all those SUV-driving soccer moms. No one minds a flip flop by someone WHO REALIZES HE WAS WRONG AND ADMITS IT.
This bears repeating: the ONLY thing ANWR is any sort of a “sanctuary(TM)” for is mosquitoes. The place needs DDT in massive quantities.
$4.00 + gasoline hits everyone, including liberals.
The Dems are too stubborn and immune from logic to catch on, plus they never learn from their mistakes..they just keep making them worse.
Obama, campaigning for Jimmy Carter's second term is a huge loser.
Amen! I hope he does get this. I am sure he is being told.
“So go to ANWR, Mr. McCain. Embrace Sarah Palin there. You’ll have to eat some crow. But crow doesn’t taste so bad if it’s served on the White House china.”
Ping!
“in the unlikely event the Arizona senator has the wit to heed them.”
HIGHLY unlikely.
I would prefer to recover from a McCain landslide,
than try to have to survive an Obama mandate.
There is no political correctness in the voting booth.
Is this a gay publication? Is this meant to be a funny?
No way. The gas prices happened during Bush’s presidency, and that’s the way the libs will see it.
To them McCain is Bush redux.
A landslide may be overstating it a bit but I do think and hope he’ll beat Nobama, if he doesn’t our military is in real trouble.
