He will look like a little boy with a deep voice.

I can't stand to hear him talk anymore. I though Hitlery's voice and style was irritating but I think he is worse and that's hard for me to say because I detest Hitlery.

By Elections Day over 90% of Republicans will vote for McCain. Almost in every elections around 8% to 10% of Republicans vote for the democrat candidate and at least 10% of democrats vote for the Republican candidate. This year I expect 20% of democrats to vote for McCain versus 8% of Republicans to vote for Obama. Also McCain is going to win Independents by 53% to 47% margin. McCain is going to be the next President of this great USA.

Then there is the problem of McCain’s presence and delivery.

I have a big problem with this also. Sounds wimpy and unsure. Needs some lessons for sure.

Not if the dhimmocRATS can get by with their fraud voters and we all know they do with the help of ACORN and many others. They will pay people, they will bus those people. No end to what they will do.

Good News! At this rate, November will be a Republican blowout.

Yeah McCain isn’t Reagan but when he is on his game talking fiscal responsibility or defending the military he is very good. McCain needs to stick to his strengths. Obama is wearing thin. He long ago reached his peak. The only question is will McCain choose a good VP and will McCain learn to be comfortable in letting loose on Obama. It will happen. Obama is just too flawed to win if he does it will be because McCain lost.

Yeah I know what you mean. Obama once you hear him several times he really gets just gets smaller and smaller. It is really the incredibly shrinking Obama and I think Independents are starting to show this effect as they are pealing off Obama in the latest polls. I’d caution anyone who is following the polls because there are a lot of people who still are not engaged. John McCain was just a blip on the last primary races , it was liberal verses liberal. As the contract between McCain and Obama becomes more apparent we will see the same phenomenon that we have seen in the past when people realize what a liberal is.

There are always Republicans that vote for Democrat. Here is an old story about Kerry Republicans and we know how that turned out.

You are totally correct. Obama is already trying to come across as a moderate for the purposes of the general election but in the Internet Age it will be impossible for him to rid himself of way too many leftist speeches to far too many left wing/baby killing/race baiting/sexually degenerated organizations.

This whole election is out of the Twilight Zone.

Obama was a NOBODY before this presidential election cycle. All of a sudden he's the Golden Boy with the media accolades, the fawning talking heads, the zooming ratings.......and for what? He's wet behind the ears and a dozen other Democrats, going by sheer years in the trenches, qualified more than he did.

McCain was in the terlet....campaign broke, crappy ratings, going nowhere. Romney was the star on the Republican side. All of a sudden McCain is the golden boy, Romney fades into the woodwork like the school jock just took his date, and McCain is THE MAN.

What the hell happened? Neither of them deserved where they are today, yet it's like someone did the I Dream of Jeannie blink and they're magically in the lead.

If this last six months doesn't convince you that forces other than voters are pulling the strings, nothing will.

I can understand how the Repub got to this point due to HUCK knocking out FRED IN Iowa and NH. But Obama is definitely the Manchurian candidate of the radical left and definitely a PUPPET.

That first poll was out of line with every other poll. I seem to recall Newsweek having issues with polls coming out showing the Dem way out front - it generates a lot of press, some press outfits reporting it over their own polls because it gives the result they want, and that’s it. Now they have a poll that is more in line with others. I guarantee it won’t be as widely reported as the other one.

I just can’t help but think it it were Romney, he would be kicking Obama’s butt right now.
