And they will persist on Election Day as well, and for good reason. Asking Barry to make such a radical, fundamental change is not humanly possible, and even if it were, anyone who is paying even the slighted attention will smell a rat.
This election is McCain's to lose.

Phil Harris’s “The Thing”
While I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day
I saw a great big wooden box a-floatin’ in the bay
I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise
Ooh, I discovered a boom-boom-boom, right before my eyes
Oh, I discovered a boom-boom-boom, right before my eyes
I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king
I took it to a guy I knew who’d buy most any thing
But this is what he hollered at me as I walked in his shop
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, before I call a cop
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom before I call a cop
I turned around and got right out, a-runnin’ for my life
And than I took it home with me to give it to my wife
But this is what she hollered at me as I walked in the door
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and don’t come back no more
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom, and don’t come back no more
I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet
A hobo who was looking for a hand-out on the street
He said he’d take most any old thing, he was a desperate man
But when I showed him the boom-boom-boom, he turned around and ran
Oh, when I showed him the boom-boom-boom, he turned around and ran
I wandered on for many years, a victim of my fate
Until one day I came upon St. Peter at the gate
And when I tried to take it inside, he told me where to go
Get outta here with that boom-boom-boom and take it down below
Oh, get outta here with that boom-boom-boom and take it down below
The moral of this story is if you’re out on the beach
And you should see a great big box and it’s within your reach
Don’t ever stop and open it up, that’s my advice to you
‘Cause you’ll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do
Oh, you’ll never get rid of the boom-boom-boom, no matter what you do
(boom-boom-boom = 3 strikes on the drum)
It is that core of experience – of growing up American – which Obama lacks. His problem is not so much that he is an African-American in the modern political sense of being a black American. It is that he is an African-American in the literal sense of being half African and only half American, who spent much of his boyhood abroad and who borrowed a consciously constructed black American identity from the south side of Chicago.
I thought that was a great way of putting it.
I think the Democratic pollster on Hannity tonight (can’t remember the guy’s name) nailed it: Obama’s going to pull out all the stops to try to sell the idea he’s really a centrist/moderate with mainstream ideas and policies for America.
I also believe the convention is Obama’s last chance to swing the momentum back his way. Barring a debate meltdown by McCain or a general meltdown in the McCain camp, the campaign schedule favors the GOP the rest of the way. McCain will have his own VP pick and convention to make some noise, and he may actually end up being in better financial shape in the final days of the campaign than Obama.
By selecting Joe Biden as his running mate, they opted for a grownup who could plug big holes in Obama's game.
I wonder if that was intentional... ;-)
Michele Obama HAS had a dress makeover and probably has been coached for WEEKS on how not to diss America til AFTER you are President.
Plugs already said BO is not ready for POTUS and that this is not a place for "on the job training", but BO will let him be the attack dog. Way to go BO, let someone do your hard work, while you skate.
“He’s got to talk with more specifics about the economy and connect with average Americans who are hurting...”
Let’s see -
1) Bash BushHiltler.
2) Bash troops.
3) Bash America.
4) Bash voters for being stupid and not seeing nobama as the savior.
Sounds like a plan.
I will be waiting for the democrat talking heads and their MSM to start pontificating how his speech at the convention will be ‘the most important speech of his career’ or do they only reserve those comments for President Bush?
“He’s got to be tough and hardheaded and honest about what he’s going to do.”
That alone should do it for McCain as > 50% of Americans realize that Obama will tax and spend the US economy into a real recession, not the fake recession the MSM whines about. To know Obama is to understand he would be dangerous to America.
The public liked Obama 1.0.
Then they saw Obama 2.0 and changed their minds.
The Democrats and their lackies in the media are hoping that the public buys Obama 3.0 this week and doesn’t get a tinge of buyer’s remorse until December at the earliest...
The more I look at Obama, the more I see Robert Redford’s character in “The Candidate.” If Obama wins, I fully expect him to turn to a flunky and ask, like Redford’s all style-no substance character at the end of the film, “what do we do now?”
