By November the BHO train will be off the tracks...they just don’t know how far out of touch they are....the Democrats can’t find a solution if it hits them in the azz and this is an election that requires some commonsence solutions.

I think if McCain would campaign in Iraq for weeks leading up to the GOP nomination, it would be unique, daring, and too hard to ignore.

That would be a Secret Service and security nightmare. That could cause an open convention.

Do you think Petraeus is any less of a target? Or Maliki, for that matter? Sure, it is not a walk in the park, and real courage is involved. At the same time, I am not advocating strolling through Mosul where al Qaeda is getting their brains beaten out but is still infested somewhat. Something needs to be done to clear everyone's sinuses a bit - something to cause a paradigm shift.

I hope you are right, but I wouldn't count on it. McCain needs to shake things up and do things that challenge the current assumptions about him (old, tired) and Iraq (lost, hopeless).

the question is whether it’s too late. If people have already made up their minds, the facts won’t matter much.

I daresay that a large percentage of the electorate has no idea who the candidates even ARE at this point. They'll start paying attention after Labor Day, if they're interested in voting at all.

"This is a place with a lot of independent voters who make up their minds right at the end."

It's not the first time that I've seen a quote like that. Independents are probably at least 30% of the electorate.

My fear exactly. The MSM still dominates the great unwashed as they slavishly watch the news and eat up the brainwashing. I fear stupidity and hatred for Bush and the pandering of CHANGE AND HOPE has fried much of the Indies’ minds, even some moderate Dems and that Barr and his inaneness will keep the Pubs from winning the WH and will not be able to avoid the 60 votes in the Senate.

domestically, the good guys are losing on all issues. In Iraq the the good guys are prevailing. What's different?

In Iraq, the good guys have valiant leaders unafraid to take the battle to the enemy.

When asked why he changed his position on an issue, John Maynard Keynes said: "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"
Thanks neverdem for the topic and ping, and Tennessean4bush for your comments.
