I have said this many times before. Do not pay any attention too anything that comes out of the UK press! The UK press is garbage, garbage and garbage. They are wrong about just about everything. The Telegraph is just about the worst of a very bad lot. The only thing the British/UK press can do is cover scandals. They are pathetic!

“McCain is not a good debater. (Obama isn’t a good debater either.) McCain hems and haws, gets confused, gets his facts mixed up - remember the Shiite, Sunni confusion?”

I agree. McCain comes across very poorly. He mumbles, he stumbles, he forgets what he’s talking about, and then he lets out that weird little chuckle that passes for a laugh at inappropriate times.

Right now the spotlight is not on McCain. But when it is, the American public is going to see a man that appears to be somewhat senile and not very knowledgeable. He has a lousy persona and isn’t very inspiring

He could VERY easily lose this election to Obama, who doesn’t say anything but says it with style. He is a excellent orator.

Obama has the same kind of ability that Ronald Reagan had in connecting with people: he inspires people and makes them feel positive about themselves and our country.

His positions (what little we know about) may be all wrong, but given the American Idol mentality of a huge percentage of voters, that may not hurt him at all.

The only crushing we’ll see in November is this Muslims militant ass.

“Don’t crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers!”

I think the McC folks have some surprises in store for the
rats.

I believe it is; “Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty attitude before a fall.” But I am with you on this.

We’ve created a juggernaut,”

I'm impressed that anybody from his campaign knows the word.

Do not put any money on it - unless you have extra. Odd story though I heard somebody say on the radio today the Barry would have to completely overhaul his crew because they are not the right focus for the general.

Bold talk for an Islamist appeaser. He couldn’t even crush Hillary Clinton

Good point. These people are living in a world where they take their press reviews as gospel. Given Obama's foreign socialist handlers, no doubt he will have the money advantage--but his problem will not be too little advertising, but too much. Obama does a flash job on the nitwit population, but even among them, the more he talks the less special he becomes, and the less you like him. Obama will be wearing mighty thin by October.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

Senator Barack Obama has established a battle-tested 50-state grassroots organisation and fundraising “juggernaut”

I thought it was a 57-state organization. ;-)
