Dick Morris is predicting that the Democrats will pass the Republican version of the bailout, which most will view more favorably, and McCain "comes out of the process as the hero who made it happen." Dick Morris says "This bold move by McCain is about to work. Big time." I know, I know. It's Dick Morris. But I hope he is right.
Yes. He is a 22 year Senator who put country first. This will backfire on Obama.
You put a lot of weight in RAS and Gallup polling, why do you ignore Battleground? Because McCain is ahead there?
Good points.
I admit that “it’s over” was a overstatement on my part.
The Democrats know and seek the disaster that this bill will produce if passed and want the Republicans on board with it in order to blame them when it goes to hell and more government intervention is “required.” If the Democrats do it by themselves then they will lose the next elections that come after the thing blows up spectacularly.
Hey, the guy got Clinton reelected in 1996, after Bubba lost the House and Senate in 1994.
He knows politics, unlike RAS and Gallup, who are numbers guys.
but Morris is a flake, I agree.
Well, someone said “they hope he comes out swinging”. There ya go. Direct hit and the bell hasn’t even wrung yet.
No worries, everybody’s wired, getting the popcorn ready.
I don’t put weight on any one poll. Instead I look at the trend of all of the polls and right now the trend is going the wrong way. Even the state polls are moving the wrong direction now.
The GOP has allowed the dems/MSM to frame this current situation and they’ve framed it so that McCain is the loser. You and I know the truth, but Joe Sixpack simply see’s what the MSM is showing him...that McCain’s move was a pure politic stunt. This is why the totality of the polls is moving away from him, PERIOD! If McCain has a good debate, he can turn it around, but he’s been on defense for nearly two weeks now which has impacted the race.
Are you telling me that you disagree with this? If so, please explain where I’m wrong.
“Does God take sides?”
God defines truth. We’re the ones who take sides.
Should they graduate, they will be FULLY indoctrinated, and STILL partially educated.
What would happen if Sen. Joe Lieberman decided to switch to the Republican Party because of this crisis? Would that change the majority in the Senate and the accompanying Leadership and committee hierarchy?
If that could happen and a Republican version of the bill passed and the stock-market soared...well that would be one heck of an "October Surprise".
That would be like debating flood control in the middle of a massive, killer drought.
Regardless of how this debate was billed, they won't be able to keep the economy out of it.
I hope Mac speaks directly to the camera and not Obambi or Lehrer. He should tell the straight truth about what happened at the WH, and by doing that in a Reaganesque manner he will be calling Obama a “liar” who is for the status quo and more of the same failed policies that brought us this mess in the first place.
The Democrats and Bush are all effectively Socialists. Bush claims to be a Conservative Keynesian. That would be a socialist who desires the economy to look like the market is its basis. I can’t believe he is a conscious socialist, he just thinks that the market cannot work without a small group of experts in the government turning the dials and pushing the buttons, making “adjustments.” Unfortunately many successful businessmen believe the same things, but what they are looking for is specific protection for their own businesses.
I’m going to watch the debate tonight on mute (and surf Free Republic)
If he's got any of the info in this video, he'll do just fine. It's long, but worth the read. Keep a quick hand on the pause button.
And the dirty little secret...
Congressional favorable rating is BELOW 20%!!!
And do you remember how, on Tuesday, we were being told that the economic world would be in complete crash and burn if the bailout was not finalized by today???
So much for Democrat prognostication. They're about as good predicting the future as I am at picking a winning fantasy football team each week.
and Field Marshal von Moltke said that a battle plan never survives first contact with the enemy...
