I hope I'm wrong on this---although a McCain presidency will be only VERY marginally better than an Obama presidency. But every argument people here have raised about how "people will wise up" . . . ? How short are your memories? Do you not recall a guy named Clinton, who had the backing of the drive-bys, and who wiggled out of EVERYTHING with a 65% approval rating???

Why do you all think "more knowledge" will change voters' minds? It's not about knowledge! It's not about policies. It's not about experience. It's about IMAGE and apparently no one on our side has figured that out.

I totally agree with you and have never advocated that educating the people that are going to vote for Obama would work. They simply don't care about the logic; they care about themselves and putting one over. Ask a typical Demo man about Bill's BJs and he'll tell you 'good on him'. Ask a typical Demo woman and it's every excuse in the book. We won't change their minds because the MSM and Dem Party leaders have them safely in the dependency lock box.

As for educating those conservatives out here that have no impulse to vote for McCain about the increasing dangers of an Obama presidency I have something to say about that. If the danger is so damn great and the consequences so damn monumental, just why in cowboy hell did we allow this man (McCain) to end up being OUR standard bearer. Asking someone to see the logic in something so patently illogical is pure ass insane.

You’re right.

It’s all about perception.

It’s not about what Obama is ~ it’s about what they want to see.
He plays that hand very, very well.

I still remember the first time I ever heard him speak, years ago.
A chill of fear went up my spine. I turned to my husband and said,
“God help us if he ever runs for President.”

Getting the information out about the candidate worked with Kerry, and it will work with Obama if the same kind of people can get out all the negatives about Obama, his wife, his associates, his history, etc.
